The lack of a clear #1. If MJD can be a #1 pick--even in leagues with high PPR--there's something wrong with the running back system in the NFL (at least from a fantasy perspective). I like Peterson as a #1 but he absolutely killed me when I drafted him in the 7th round as a rookie two years ago when he failed to put up any points down the stretch--I would have been as well off starting Barry Sanders.
I like Brady as well. The problem is even if Belichick has faith in him, we don't know how Brady will do coming back from injury. How much will it take for his knee to pop again? He's not a mobile guy so you're not looking for Donovan McNabb rushing numbers out of him (before McNabb morphed into Byron Leftwich in his 30s) but he does need to be able to stand and drop back to throw. Additionally, because Cassel's gone, I don't know if you can trust anyone in the Patriots' offense (because really, if Brady is done, can whoever's backing him up now perform as well as Cassel did down the stretch? if he can, every team in the NFL should look to pay Belichick $20 million/year for him to coach their franchise. it's ridiculous.).
I'd like to remind you that you Stole Drew Brees From Me. I was there a few years back for Brees' first season in NO, when I bet on him as the Great White Hope. I'm fine without Brees although I will take him if he's available. There's another guy I have in mind as my Great White Hope this season.
I agree on IDPs. By the way, if we're going to have IDPs, why not add punters to the mix? What about dedicated kick returners and punt returners? And what about coaches (gauging them on challenges won--would be a neat kicker)? How can we make this game as authentic as possible? If you're playing fantasy football, it should be fantasy football--not fantasy offense.
