Rivers is going to have a solid season, especially with V-Jack expected to breakout this year, and Gates and LT are always awesome targets.[/b]

You have to look at who should be ahead of him in fantasy stats this year. Manning, Palmer, Brady, Brees, Bulger, McNabb, Kitna, and Hasselbeck. They should all finish ahead of Rivers. That would make Rivers probably about the 9th best starting fantasy quarterback in a 14 team league. It's bottom half. Not horrible, but you aren't going to win games because Rivers is your quarterback.

Henry and Jones could both be top 5 RBs fantasy wise this year. They'll both put up 15-30 points a week.[/b]

I have Henry as my #11 RB and Jones as my #19 RB. Again, not horrible but not good either. Now your quarterback is below average and your running backs are at best average. I'm not sure what scoring system you are using to get these backs in the 15-30 point a week range, but its all relative. If average backs score that much in your league then the backs who are better score even more.

Moss will be solid again with Brady throwing to him, and Andre Johnson is always solid, and now that he has a reliable QB(Not saying Carr was bad, but still), he should do even better.[/b]

Moss I like in NE, but Andre Johnson is more name than actual production. He'll get a thousand yards and 5-7 touchdowns. Overall, this is IMHO his strongest position though. It's above average.
< average quarterback
= runnings backs
> wide receivers
< tight end
> defense
And the depth is poor beyond that. This is going to equate to a team that might at best, if lucky, will push for the final spot in the playoffs and get bounced once there. Most likely this team will finish a few wins behind that race though.
