Looks like a very solid team to me. Brady is probably the #1 fantasy QB on the market. Additionally, Chad Johnson and Antonio gates are arguably the best at their respective positions. Your RB situation is decent. I had Mike Anderson on my fantasy team last year and he had a few standout games, even though he was splitting duties. I think you did a good job!

You have serious RB issues. I don't know how you're league scores, but in most formats, I'd say you're in some trouble. You really don't have a certain #1 back.
See if you can move Anderson to whoever has Jamal Lewis, and/or Deuce to whoever has Reggie Bush in exchange for a legit #1 back. At least see if you can get Chris Brown and Travis Henry cheap.
Chad is possibly the best fantasy WR - don't bench him. But if you have to package him for a stud RB, you may need to move him.
Brady should always start over Green except bye-weeks. Green puts up yards, but the LJ gets the TD's. Check out Brady's numbers last year, you'll see he's a top 3 fantasy QB now.
You have a super-stud TE - see if anyone is interested in McMichael - he's a top 8 TE too, and he does you no good on the bench.
Drop the Chargers and pick up a position player that can help you or a backup for one of your starters in case of injury. There will always be a DST you can pick up. Never carry more than one.

You took the flier on LenDale!?!?!? I hope that there are twenty teams in your league and he was all that was left...... (or, if you're in a keeper league, then he's good to keep on the shelf for a year or two).
Seriously, though, you've got a good situation. McMichael will have another solid season this year, and is absolutely second fiddle to Gates....he could be a trade chip for someone out there without a solid TE. Trent Green could also be the trade chip when/if someone else's QB is injured. Use those trades to get more reliable depth at RB.
I had Elam last year, and he was one of the most consistant kickers in the league.
On a scale of one to ten, I would rate your team at 7.5 --based mostly on QB, TE and WR. Get some help on the RB level and you'll be fine.
GOOD LUCK!

You really have no running backs, I would see if you could trade lendale white and plexiglass for a consistent runner, like warrick dunn or rudi johnson to follow Deuce. I would personall also try to trade brady for a better quarterback, or even a runningback and try to find a sleeper (Jon Kitna is gonna mess a bunch of people's teams up this year) and move Green to your starter. Other than your runningbacks though, you have a pretty solid team.

I like your QB, WR & TE situations.
RB is concerning. No guarantee either Anderson or McAllister will start. Anderson has to beat out Lewis for the starting job in Baltimore (or split carries which is a fantasy killer). Deuce is not proven to be past his injury. Plus Bush is going to push him for time later in the year. I'd consider waving a WR and take a chance on an additional RB option like Ron Dayne, Ahman Green, Chris Brown (might be traded?), Addai in Indy or Maroney in NE if they are available.

You have a very solid team; I do have issues with your RB situation. If McAllister returns to his pre surgery form and if Anderson gets a lot of touches in the Ravens offense, then you will be fine. Unfortunately, that is a lot of ifs. You should be out on the lookout for a solid RB.

I'd start Green over Brady (he tends to put up bigger numbers). I'd agree that you're thin at RB, but your WR are both pretty good.
No way should you bench Johnson for Jurevicius. Jurevicius is a 3 receiver at best; Johnson puts up huge numbers.
Overall decent, but you need some better RBs.

Running back is the only postition that you're a little shaky on. Keep an eye on the waiver wire but the rest looks pretty good. Might look at kickers too because of Elam but pretty good draft I would say.

Thin at WR and RB, no big week end and week out point producers for you there. Other than that an OK draft

Pretty good job. You're a little thin at RB, so I would be on the lookout for one. But i think you'll do fine
