    I honestly don't even know how fantasy football works but I do know Titans players probably arent good to have on your team.

    Go Titans! :D

    Wright and Walker will be our main 2 playmakers. Wright will have the ability to make something after the catch as long as Mariota is hitting him in stride (it seems like they are on the same page so far)

    Based on last year, I would expect Walker to make some big plays this year. TEs are a young QBs best friend, and with even better QB play he might be even better than last year.

    DGB will be an interesting guy. I don't think he will be in the rotation a lot, but I think we see him make some decent plays here and there. They will ease him into more and more playing time as the year goes on.

    Douglas could be the sleeper of the group. He seems like he could play a similar role to what Nate Washington did for us for a number of years. Don't be surprised to see him sneakily put up some good numbers this year.

    Hunter ... well, lets just say if he doesn't get it together fast, then I don't think he will have many targets.

    Nicks is a guy that I see being more of a possession WR. He has a big body and good hands, but not the speed to burn you deep. He may not have explosive plays and a ton of yards, but what I do think he gives you is someone that can really help move the chains. I see him catching a number of balls in the 10-15 yard range.

    I was going to pick Walker but Kelce fell to the 7th for me and then I scooped up Eifort in the 15th.

    Walker should have a solid year though.

    In standard its only walker worth a roster spot, PPR Wright can be a decent flex play with WR2 potential i guess. I don't really think Mariota is rosterable atm unless its for homor points or 2 QB leagues.

    I wanted my starter RB/WR's with my first 4. Got great backup value for each position with the next 2 so when I saw Kelce fell to the 7th I jumped. Romo in the 8th, and I really like the way my team turned out.

    Kelce in the 7th? that's a steal... assuming it's a 10 man league?

    I think it's up in the air how we do on the ground this year. Our OL are probably better at run blocking than pass blocking but if Schwenke, bell and Poutasi keep getting beat, there won't be much room to run for anyone. If they struggle early it'll mean Cobb and Andrews and McC will get more chances with Cobb being the favorite hog. I don't see them getting McC a ton of carries and for some reason don't trust Andrews. So this is a wait and see. Even if Cobb becomes the starter, you really have to see how we run. I would also keep a close eye on how oftehn you see Fowler on the field. The more Fowler, the more runs.

    DGB is a different story. He has the ability to dominate but he's behind the learning curve. I like that they have packages of plays for him as that tells me they DO want to get him on the field. At this point, short of Hunter going up in double coverage and pulling down some bombs, I like DGB over Hunter, Nicks, Douglas. Wright would be the best guy to get at WR but I might take a flyer on DGB if you can afford the roster spot. Honestly I probably wouldn't have him on my roster until I see him get on the field and in game 1, we should get an idea of the rotation. I'd then pick him up a week or so before I think he'll break into the starting lineup.

    I could see him getting on the field in red zone (fade route for the TD), 2 min, and when teams try to load the box against us. He's also been a pretty good blocker so wouldn't be surprised to see him on those Read-Option plays with 3 options!
