QBs look good (depending on how long McNabb plays, I wouldn't want to depend on Campbell every week). I love the starting RBs and Mendenhall has a big upside. Not big on Ahmad, but Andre Hall could be a huge asset. WRs look really good and TE, K, D/ST are fine. I think Chester will surprise you this year...he is a question mark right now, but the Vikes have said they're going to share carries and have formations w/AP and Chester in together. I think he'll have a decent year at least, could be good. All in all a good team...but not sure how many teams. The rosters are kinda small, so it could be a very competitive league though.

It's a 12 team league. I'm not thrilled with Chester being my flex. What do you mean about Chester being a question mark? I drafted Campbell as a back-up only just in case something happens to McNabb.

Yeah and I think Campbell is a good backup...I was just saying if McNabb gets hurt again, I wouldn't want to rely on Campbell. But if McNabb stays healthy, I like the QBs a lot.
Chester is a question mark because the Vikes have said they're going to use him more, but we don't know how much. The first 10 games of last year he had 304 yds and 1 TD, but the last 7 games he had 540 yds and 6 TDs. Will this year be somewhere in the middle or will it be more like the last 7 games. If it's like the last 7, he could have 1,000 yds and double digit TDs...if it's somewhere in the middle he could still have 600-800 yds and 3-5 TDs. So I think he'll have a decent year at least, but could be really good depending on how he's used.

The last two seasons Brian Westbrook has been a stud. If he stays healthy he could win the league for you.
The only issue I see for you is that your team depends a lot on the success of the Eagles and the success of questionable QB's. If the Eagles struggle then your starting QB and RB could hurt you, not to mention McNabb and Westbrook both have a history of injury issues. Also, you have Chris Cooley and Braylon Edwards whose success rides on the success of Jason Campbell and whichever QB is the starter in Cleveland. If Campbell struggles in another new offense and Derek Anderson doesn't play like he did in 2007 then Cooley and Edwards might not put up big numbers.
I would make Colston my #1 WR. He and Brees are the bread and butter of the Saints offense. He will get his catches no matter what.
All in all I would say your team looks solid.

I completely understand your concerns and I had the same ones when drafting. I wasn't willing to give up a high draft pick to get Brees, the only other QB at the time, so I rolled the dice on 2 QB's that I could get lower with a lot of upside. If McNabb is healthy and plays like he did at the end of last season I should be ok. Westbrook, Cooley, and Edwards always get their touches so I'm not concerned with those 3. I was willing to roll the dice on the Eagles.
