    12 team PPR league.
    5 pt bonuses at 100, 150, 175 yards for RB, WR
    5 pt bonuses at 300, 350, 400 yards for QB
    1 pt per 25 return yards
    4 pt passing TDs

    QB Tony Romo
    RB Chris Johnson
    RB Rashard Mendenhall
    WR Dwayne Bowe
    WR Percy Harvin
    TE Antonio Gates
    FLEX Santana Moss

    Bench
    Clinton Portis
    Mohammed Massaquoi
    Devin Hester
    Fred Jackson
    LaDainian Tomlinson
    Legedu Naanee

    Not my favorite team, but I still like it. mainly because my WRs aren't that good. But I never thought I had good value at WR in round 3, so I went with Romo over the likes of Sidney Rice, Wes Welker, and Michael Crabtree. Wanted to grab a QB with elite upside because none would come back to me in the round 4/5 turn. Bowe has nice upside and can be a decent WR1. Harvin gets a nice boost because of the return yards.

    I think it's a pretty solid team. How many points per reception are you going to get?

    Those yardage bonuses are pretty out of control so Chris Johnson is going to be a monster... 175 is very doable for him and that's 32.5 points if he doesn't even score.

    I was impressed with Naanee when I watched him play last year... big with great hands. He could definitely surprise with no VJax on the field.

    Welker could be a monster in PPR but with those bonuses it's hard to pass up an elite QB. Good move grabbing Romo.

    I'm not very high on Bowe myself, but your WRs are serviceable enough considering your strength at RB, QB, and TE.

    Team should definitely compete... CJ could nearly win you this league by himself.

    If Welker is avail in rd 3 in a PPR league you take him hands down no questions asked. Thats incredible value at that point and well worth passing over Romo for. That's the gripe I have with your draft honestly. They still would have been a quality QB around. Maybe not elite but definitely positive upside like a Flacco or Cutler.

    Just 1 PPR.

    Welker isn't incredible value in the 3rd unless you're super confident he's back to his old self. He tore his ACL 9 months ago. He could be a medical miracle, but I could also see Edelman taking into some of his touches if he's not 100%.

    If it's 1 ppr an elite QB is better than a good possesion receiver with those settings.

    Just a follow-up...

    This team
    ...is now this team

    QB Aaron Rodgers
    RB Chris Johnson
    RB Frank Gore
    WR Santana Moss
    WR Percy Harvin
    FLEX LeSean McCoy
    TE Antonio Gates

    I'm 8-0. Unfortunately, my lineup this week is looking something like this...

    QB Aaron Rodgers
    RB LeSean McCoy
    RB Beanie Wells
    WR Percy Harvin
    WR Roscoe Parrish
    TE Greg Olsen/Tony Moeaki/Brandon Pettigrew (Gates injured)
    FLEX Jordy Nelson

    And that's assuming Wells and Harvin plays. Wells should, but Harvin is a serious question mark. In that case, I may have to go with Derrick Mason off free agency. Looks like I'm going 8-1!
