This is what happens when you invest in a Seahawk

The offensive line falls apart, Edgerrin James tanks Julius Jones's value, and my late-round Nate Burleson flyer pick looks dumb(-er). At least I wasn't the only one.

Solution (under the circumstances): drop both, pick up Earl Bennett and Jamaal Charles. The former is already a trendy flyer, but the latter? Well, that is what happens when you play in a twelve-team league. Every team has value, but unlike last year's ten-team league, there aren't many teams with enough value to entertain a wide variety of trade offers. I'm new to twelve-team leagues, of course, so maybe things will pan out differently over the course of the season.

Anyway, what of the NFC North? Green Bay learned that Ryan Grant is capable only of situational greatness and is likely to keep relying on Aaron Rodgers's arm. Meanwhile, Chicago, Minnesota, and Detroit all received upgrades at quarterback to complement dominant-to-viable rushing threats. Who wins this division? What should we expect fantasy-wise?

By the way, Knowshon Moreno notwithstanding, I stand by UST Numero Uno: Never trust a running back from Denver or New England.
