Roster from Last Nights FFPC $250 Classic - 'Live' Online Draft #1709

I am currently in England so the 9pm ET draft went on at 2 AM my time (British local time). I was a bit knackered to use the local  vernacular. 

 Here is my team with round drafted in (). 

 QB
Peyton Manning (6)
Teddy Bridgewater (14)

 RB
Jamaal Charles (1.05)
DeMarco Murray (2.08)
Alfred Morris (4)
Isaiah Crowell (9)
Tre Mason (11)
Denard Robinson (12)
Theo Riddick (14)

 WR 
Mike Evans (3)
Keenen Allen (5)
Mike Wallace (8)
Markus Wheaton (10) 
Reuben Randle (13)
Dwayne Bowe (15)
Robert Woods (18)

 TE
Jason Witten (7)
Garrett Graham (20)

 K 
Adam Vinatieri (17)

 DEF/ST
GB (19)

 Synopsis: Like my team. Don't love it. Would have like to have a solid TE2. Could have had A Gates in the 10th but I elected to wait on him and take Markus Wheaton instead. Gates went before my 11.05 pick. RBs are strong with lots of potential. Good at WR. I have Peyton Manning at QB and Teddy is gravy. TE is weak and who cares about K and DEF-although I like GB defense. 
Time will tell about the team.

Ask the Expert Question: Through two exhibition games, pick one player who has really impressed or disappointed you, and say why.

Through two exhibition games, pick one player who has really impressed or disappointed you, and say why.

TB running back Doug Martin has impressed. This preseason he has run 11-78 (one nice rush for 30 yards last week) and added a catch for nine yards. He is in the last year of his rookie contract so he should be motivated. He has a new QB in Jameis Winston who will benefit from check downs and screen passes-thus setting Martin up to catch more passes. He is healthy (some say slimmer and quicker) unlike his past two years when he suffered ankle and shoulder injuries.  He looks like his 2012 rookie form when he had, wait for it, 1900 combined yards and 12 TDs. Add in the fact he is just 26 yet almost a forgotten player due to his disappointing past two years and you have a potential sleeper success. Take the chance on him-you will not regret it.

Ask the Expert Question:

What do you believe is the main thing fantasy owners should watch for in preseason games? 

Injuries and pre season quality playing time with the first stringers. Great stats against the third string still warrants attention but temper that with quality of opponent.
