Unfortunately I was not able to land him in any of my leagues. My big questions are these...
1) Will Trent Richardson live up to the hype? I have him in 3/4 leagues. If he doesn't I am pretty much fucked. I HATE drafting rookies early, but his upside was too much to pass up considering what other backs were available.
2) Will Gronkowski repeat the performance from last season? Again, I have him in 3/4 leagues. Big hopes for the Gronkster.
3) Will Drew Brees continue to be the major stud we are used to seeing? Losing Payton worries me a lot.
4) Will Ryan Mathews finally go through a season without missing a large portion of the games and finally live up to his potential? I drafted him as a rookie. HUGE BUST!
5) Will Mike Wallace play as well as he did last year? He is in a major contract dispute, and also has some legit competition for the #1 spot on the team. Considering how bad Pitts run game is looking ATM, I think he is a safe bet, but the contract dispute thing worries me. Memories of Desean Jackson last season come to mind.
6) Will Stevan Ridley become a legit back in the Pats offense? This could help me out in a big way in our first league. Doubtful though. I see 700 yards and 5 TD's most likely. Gotta find good spots for him.
7) Will Baltimore's D continue to dominate? They are getting pretty fucking old. Luckily I have 2 decent D's aside from them.
8) How good will Andrew Luck be? Can you say "trade bait"?
9) Will Peyton Manning return to form? I got him in the 7th round, so huge value there. But a lot hangs in the balance. If he goes down or is mediocre, big trouble in little China. Andrew Luck is his backup for me. Yikes!
