Looks like a pretty solid line up.

Seems really early for the draft I thinks we are doing ours the week of the 23rd which still seems a week early.
Interesting linup , I haven't even started to do my research so hard to say good or bad. I do like Julio Jones but it's hard to say if Brady will still be at the same level again this year or will he start to drop off.

You have good depth at QB.
Your RB position looks a little weak.
WR's look ok I guess.......
Your D, K, & TE are good picks.
I'd get rid of Helu and looks for someone that will see more playing time.
I am a Husker fan and it hurts to say that but it's true. He will only see playing time when Hightower or Royster gets hurt.

I think Brady is a solid chocie. He hasn't showed signs of slowing and has good players to throw to.

My WRs are very weak both rookies so that is going to be a disadvantage. Rueben Randle will only play is Cruz or Nicks get benched.

Who is left for you to choose from in the WR and RB position.
Or is it one of those leagues to where you can only drop and add a select amount of times?

I agree, in the back of my mind though I keep thinking this is the year I will get burned if I take him ... and then call my self stupid as he beats me all season long.

Think about it this way. Everyone thought Brady was done after his season ending knee injury. They all said, "he will never be the same or as good."
Brady is just as good if not better than before he was hurt.
Hell, look at Favre, Marino, Young. They retired because their bodies have taken a beating and they just could not move like they used to be able to in their younger days.
They could still throw for the most part, it was their aging bodies that made them retire.
Brady is far from old. He still has plenty of GOOD game left in him.
