Boy thats UGLY. Im guessing your 1st 2 picks were Calvin and Andre but after that was a disaster. Who out of that group could you have possibly picked in the 3rd round? In fantasy football a season could be broken on 1 bad pick.

PPR you need backs and TE's who catch the ball and catch it alot. I would:

QB: Play matchups
RB: Best, LT
WR: Calvin, Andre, Welker

TE: Celek . Unless him and Vick make a connection they did not have last year then its a .

As ManRam said, especially in a PPR you want RB & TE that catch a lot of passes.  Best fits that mold, but the rest of your backs are goal line type backs and your TE's don't even really need to be on rosters at this point.  Shiancoe had a terrible year and is normally a goal line type TE; his points came from TD not receptions and yards.  Although McNabb is coming to MINN, they also went out and drafted a TE so Shiancoe fantasy value is pretty much "0".  

What other TE available?  Personally I would drop both the ones on your team (no need to hold 2 TE also).

As of right now:

RB: Best and LT
WR: Johnson & Johnson
Flex: Welker & probably Jones
TE: Neither

That's pretty bad. But you never know. 
Right now:
WR Johnson and Johnson
RB Ingram and Best
Flex Welker
QB Orton (He's going against the Raiders week one so that's an easy play)
TE Shianco 

Agree with JW don't hold 2 TEs, no value pick up a WR or RB.

I would strongly consider packaging one of your QB's and one of the Johnsons and upgrading RB. Find someone with a good, quality RB on their bench and then deal for one of their starters. They will be more inclined to make the deal if they have a decent fall back on the bench.

Sorry man but I have to agree that's not very good. Especially in a PPR.

It seems awful early for week 1 "who do I start threads" but here goes.
QB: Freeman: someone said Orton and I don't get that. He's nothing more than a backup. John Fox will run run run run.
RB: Best & LT: only LT because it's a PPR & he still might have little value
WR: Andre & Megatron
Flex: Welker & either Ingram or J. Jones: it does hurt that Ingram won't catch any passes
TE: what was the thought process here? Shiancoe had no value last year. If a player can have less than zero value, Shiancoe does. The Eagles should get Celek more involved but there were better TEs when you drafted these fools. There's probably better TEs still available. Find one! Quickly!
