The other thing that doesn't make sense to me is the Witten pick. Yes, you can start these guys at flex, but there's only one required TE start. It's always important to build as much depth as you can at RB and WR.
The result is that, while your team isn't bad by any means, your bench depth is kind of scary. There's way too much chatter about Hyde, just like there was last year with Christine Micheal. If something happens to Gore, the NIners will use a committee and Hyde isn't even the #2.
One thing. You need another QB. Ryan is a great start at home but he sometimes struggles on the road. One guy who might be available is Shaun Hill. This guy is/was an elite b/u with a proven track record. He should do fine with all his weapons, and you'll look more solid at QB if you have another option when Ryan has tough matchups.
B- .... What really lowers your grade is the fact that you are in a PPR scoring system. First, your 2 starting rbs are subpar in this system, set aside the obvious injury possibility both have, both are even lower ranked in ppr bc they're in run first offenses. To make matters worse your rb bench includes ridley, who can't get out of the doghouse in new england, and Pierce, who has another opportunity to win the starting gig in the first 2 games but he failed terribly at that same opportunity last year. On the plus side, Hyde is a top handcuff. Keep your fingers crossed. Your WR starters are mediocre, Cobb is fine but Welker is the main culprit w the injury concern. 4th round is a major gamble for him. Bench for wr is mediocre as well, as both receivers are second options in their respective teams. Your strength is at TE, in a ppr Witten and Jimmy are going to give you consistent numbers every week.

First off,yes I know about Wes Welker...My draft was this past saturday night and literally 3 minutes after i selected Welker he left the game with a concussion...If he doesnt play then I will put Boldin as my #2 WR and put Pierce of Hopkins as my #2 flex....but besides that possible issue,is there anything I need to improve? what grade would you give my team?
