Okay, time to look at my year.
Summary:
Offense - I made strides toward solving my o-line problems, which helped, and I have Russell Wilson and Travis Kelce. My receivers were banged up all year, and I had zero running game. I was probably a middle of the pack offense in the NFL, pressing Denard Robinson into service at HB and relying on my passing game and Wilson.
Defense - They probably were okay, but thin everywhere. I had a decent d-line and decent LBs, but little or no pass rush, which is fatal. I lost my main planned pass rusher in Week 2 and pretty much relied on Hali. My CBs were good, but all of my safeties dropped to injuries, which created a big hole in my defense. I might have been middle of the pack here, too.
QB
Russell Wilson (Seahawks) - 16 starts, 4,200 yards, 92.6 rating
Nick Foles - 1 start, not needed
Geno Smith (Jets) - 1 start, not needed
Brett Hundley (Packers) - 0 starts
Fine year here. I'm really glad that I drafted Wilson over Donald Stephenson.
HB
Jamaal Charles - 0 starts
C.J. Spiller. (Bills/Saints) - 0 starts
Denard Robinson (Jaguars) - 1 start
Well, I clearly waited too long to stock up on this position. No running game at all this year.
WR
Jeremy Maclin - 12 starts, 44 rec, 536 yards
Donte Moncrief (Colts).* - 7 starts, 30 rec, 307 yards
Kendall Wright (Titans) - 4 starts, 29 rec, 416 yards
Albert Wilson - 5 starts, 31 rec, 279 yards
Rod Streater - 2 starts, 18 rec, 191 yards
Injuries killed me here. I scraped together a starting lineup, but it was a tough year.
TE
Travis Kelce (Chiefs) - 15 starts, 85 rec, 1,125 yards
Ben Koyack (Jaguars) - 7 starts, 19 rec, 161 yards
Anthony Fasano - 9 starts, 8 rec, 83 yards
Great starter and strong depth. I relied on my TEs a lot this year.
OT
Mitchell Schwartz - 16 starts
Morgan Moses, OT (Redskins) - 16 starts
Menelik Watson (Raiders) - 5 starts
Cyrus Kouandjio, OT (Bills) - 5 starts
Corey Robinson (Lions) - 3 starts
I'll move Schwartz to LT and be in decent shape here with him and Moses, along with depth.
G
Alex Boone (49ers) - 14 starts
TJ Clemmings (Vikings) - 14 starts
Christian Westerman (#5/161 - Bengals) - IR as a rookie
Jah Reid - 1 start
Had to move Clemmings out of position. Not strong here as both of my rookie guards were on IR or moved to center.
C
Cody Whitehair (#2/25 - Bears ) - 16 starts
Evan Boehm (#4/126 - Cardinals) - 1 start
Got great performance from a rookie here to make this position a strength.
K
Cairo Santos, K
Best in NFL.
P
Dustin Colquitt
Best in NFL.
LS*
James Winchester
Best in NFL.
FS
Reshad Jones (Dolphins) - 6 starts, 31 tackles, 1 int
Jordan Poyer (Eagles) - 6 starts, 27 tackles
Derron Smith (#5/172 - Bengals) - 0 starts
Two starting-caliber FS's, and both went on IR with less than half a season. A strength degraded over the course of the season.
SS
Tyvon Branch - 5 starts, 24 tackles
Miles Killebrew (#4/106 - Lions) - 0 starts, 1 int
Another starter went on IR early, making me start my rookie.
CB
Marcus Peters (#1/18 - Chiefs) - 15 starts, 6 ints, 35 tackles
Kendall Fuller (#3/74 - Redskins) - 6 starts, 32 tackles
Steve Nelson (#3/80 - Chiefs) - 14 starts, 58 tackles
Harlan Miller (#6/185 - Cardinals) - 2 starts, 1 int, 5 tackles
Kalan Reed (#7/249 - Titans) - 0 starts
I was in good shape here with Peters and Nelson, and Fuller promising as a nickel.
OLB
Tamba Hali - 2 starts, 3.5 sacks, 24 tackles
Nate Orchard (#2/49 - Browns) - 1 start, 2 tackles
AJ Klein (Panthers) - 7 starts, 1 sack, 16 tackles
Orchard went down on IR early, so Tamba and Klein had to step up. Very, very thin here.
ILB
Derrick Johnson - 13 starts, 1 int, 1 sack, 70 tackles
Rey Maualuga (Bengals) - 6 starts, 1 int, 17 sacks
Justin March - 5 starts, 15 tackles
Zach Brown (Titans) - 16 starts, 1 int, 4 sacks, 97 tackles
Scooby Wright (#7/245 - Browns) - 0 starts
The resurgence of Zach Brown made this an area of strength.
DE
Star Lotulelei (Panthers) - 16 starts, 4 sacks, 14 tackles
Brandon Williams (Ravens) - 16 starts, 1 sack, 34 tackles
Nick Williams - 0 starts
No depth, but good starters.
NT
Daniel McCullers (Steelers) - 1 start, 1 sack, 10 tackles
Michael Bennett (#5/173 - Jaguars) - IR early
Andrew Billings (#4/113 - Bengals) - IR early
Pretty weak here. McCullers played a lot, though, so I at least have a body.
