QB Andy Dalton
RB Ezekiel Elliot
RB Thomas Rawls
WR Brandon Marshall
WR Donte Moncrief
TE Jason Witten
WR/RB/TE DeMarco Murray
K Steven Hauschka
D Rams

Bench
RB Christine Michael
RB Jordan Howard
RB Ameer Abdullah
WR Kelvin Benjamin
WR Chris Hogan

My draft grade was a C, but the comments also said my RBs were a weakness so doesn't seem to be well thought out. I think Kiper must have given me my grade.

I'm hoping NE throws it a lot and Hogan emerges as a decent starting option. Also hoping Jordan Howard steps up at some point in the season.

My last pick was between Michael and Spencer Ware. Figured I had to go with the handcuff. Wasn't sure about Ware as West will steal carries and Ware may disappear once Charles is fully healthy. Ware was taken several picks later.

The big question, do I start Rawls or Michael week one?

Thanks.

Good team but don't like your QB. Not sure I'd want to trust Dalton, especially early without Eifert. I think Bengals revert back to their 2014 form, and run the ball a lot. Last year was the only time Dalton was startable in fantasy. Especially with a week one matchup against the Jets, you may want to stream a QB. Other than that, solid draft. And go with Rawls, he is expected to start.
