I'm going to assume you mean Brian Westbrook, and also that you're in a 10 Team standard scoring league.
Based on that, I'm going to guess you took Michael Turner far too early, and waited to fill out your WR slots far too long. Your total lack of #1 WRs (tops on their team) besides Andre Johnson is very worrisome.
You have a couple RBs that I like, but would like them better handcuffed. DeAngelo Williams and Kevin Jones would be much better attached to their rookie counterparts in Jonathan Stewart and Matt Forte.
DeSean Jackson was a total and complete waste of a pick. He's a kick returner at best this year. Receivers are notorious for lack of production their first couple seasons.
All in all I'd grade it a 6/10 with a 20% chance of making the Playoffs.

Here's how I'd break it down:
QB-Tony Romo (Good QB. But it looks as if you took him in the 2nd round. Definitely a stretch. You could have waited and gotten a QB like Anderson, Palmer, Roethlisberger etc. later in the draft and gotten better value here)
RB-Brian Westbrook (OUTSTANDING pick!!! No questions here. NFL's leader in yards from scrimmage)
RB-Michael Turner (May have stetched here as well. I do not predict great things here. He may be solid but your lack of another strong Running Back is very concerning)
RB/WR-Patrick Crayton (Do not like this pick. TO and Witten take most of the TD's. Crayton was on my team last year. Some fluke games but not reliable by any means)
WR-Andre Johnson (Good pick. Very consistent and has alot of upside. One of the better Fantasy recievers. IF schaub stays healthy then this could be a great pick)
WR-Roddy White (Love the pick. He put up big numbers last year with terrible quarter backs. Matt Ryan may not be amazing but he will get the job done. Ryan coupled with Turner should make it easier for White to put up large numbers)
TE-Jason Witten (About as good as you can get here. Good job)
D/ST-Colts (pretty much irrelevant. Defenses can be picked up all year)
K-Nick Folk (same as above)
Bench-DeAngelo Williams (we'll see here. Could be great. Could be a bust. More likely the latter)
Bench-DeSean Jackson(why bother?)
Bench-Robert Meachem (ehhh. ok i guess)
Bench-Kevin Jones (Solid if he starts. Big IF though)
Bench-David Garrard (good bye week replacement for tony)
Bench-Donte Stallworth (solid if healthy. Deep threat but I do not see many tds with shockey and Colston around)
Bench-Sidney Rice (Would have been better had the vikings gotten a better qb then tavaris such as pennington or favre. Could be good value late though)
As Mackstadamus said, I would like to have seen you grab handcuff backs such as stewart or forte. You should possibly look into tradeing for one of them. I would also trade for another consistent reciever. Look into trading DeAngelo or Garrad for teams hurting in those positions. If you can do so then you would improve your chances. No offense but right now I do not believe you have a playoff team. You have a solid core of guys (romo, johnson, westbrook, witten) but need to add in order to have a better shot.

The #2 WR and Flex Spot are the crux of his team right now. If someone can emerge from his bench and fill either spot, a Playoff run could be in the cards. But personally, I just don't think it'll happen. Of the lot, I'd say Stallworth has the best chance.

dont worry about your lack of strong WRs. Romo and Westbrook will end up with enough points to make up. And Turner will be the guy they look to for some balance when Ryan starts making rookie mistakes.
I think you could have a better team, but they will win quite a few match ups for sure. What draft position did you have?
and by years end DeSean Jackson will make you look like a genius. Who else can catch a ball in Philly right now? You guys need to check your camp chatter

I would say you have way to many Cowboys on your team. If they have a bad game you will probably be done.

Right, because camp chatter is definitive information.
Anyway, the guy is tiny, and Kevin Curtis/Reggie Brown. Rookie WRs rarely make an impact, and if you're thinking DeSean Jackson is the guy this year, you're out of your mind.
He's available in something like 97% of leagues on ESPN, where I play. Know why? HE'S A MIDGET ROOKIE WIDE RECEIVER.

Yeah, because Reggie Brown is a fantasy powerhouse.

I don't think you can count on any Eagles reciever to perform every week. They spread the ball around and it seemed last year no one was consistent.
