TUCSON A II P
strength	WR. They are not as dominant at this position as years past, but the acquisition of Hakeem Nicks to go alongside Larry Fitzgerald and Greg Jennings makes them very impressive. Vincent Jackson is a nice fourth option and they should add nice youth depth in the draft as well.
weakness	RB. Arian Foster had a remarkable year but he will need to prove that season was not a fluke. A II P has some talented options here but none of them are currently in much of a position to be an every week starter outside Foster.
summary	The jury is still out of 2010 Player of the Year Arian Foster and with Brett Favre finally gone A II P must find a #1 QB option between Tony Romo, Josh Freeman, and Matt Stafford (two of whom were significantly injured last year). As defending champions they should be considered the favorite at this point, and they look to have a pretty strong future as well - especially with such strong draft picks. However there are some issues and questions surrounding this team making chances of a repeat even more challenging.

TOLEDO TORMENTA
strength	QB. Tormenta only owns three QBs but Aaron Rodgers, Eli Manning and Kevin Kolb (assuming he's starting somewhere) make up an excellent group. Of course Rodgers may be emerging as the leagues very best.
weakness	DEPTH. The injury of Steven Smith last year exposed Tormentas weakness which is depth. They went from first to ninth in flex scoring. Wes Welker's health appears to be fine but they will need Smith to recover this year or they will need a draft pick or current roster player to improve and provide this talented roster with some depth.
summary	Trading away Roddy White last year puts some pressure on this years draft. While they also acquired Dwayne Bowe in the trade, his inconsistency issues leave Tormenta in need of some other options. They have a strong core of starters, but with 6 picks among the top 15, this will be a crucial draft year for Tormenta's future.

MACUNGIE O'S
strength	STARTING LINEUP. With Peyton Manning, Chris Johnson, Frank Gore, Reggie Wayne, Brandon Marshall, Brandon Pettigrew, Mason Crosby and Steelers - the O's may be the league very best starting lineup.
weakness	TE. This is not a major weakness, but it is perhaps the only area of question entering the season. Pettigrew, who they acquired via trade last year, showed great promise. Jacob Tamme was a huge fill-in last year but will likely be benched with the return of Dallas Clark. Todd Heap has always been talented but remains injury prone.
summary	Is the window closing on the O's dominance. It's tough to say especially considering they were a top three team once again last year and they still have explosive talent at nearly every position. They have not won the division title the past two years and the O's have NEVER gone three consecutive years without winning a division title. With the explosive scoring talent they have at each position it is hard to imagine they are not at least a playoff team, but the question remains if they can return to the postseaosn success that has eluded them since 2001..

D.C. H
strength	WR. The trio of Calvin Johnson, Roddy White and Percy Harvin might be the best in our league. Steve Smith and Braylon Edwards are excellent options and they also have some nice potential breakout capability in young WRs Dexter McCluster and Jacoby Ford as well as some intriguing projects like Taylor Price and Plaxico Burress.
weakness	RB. Steven Jackson is still one of the leagues elite RBs but H's options from there are in question. Certainly Reggie Bush has elite talents but is often injured or inconsistent. Ronnie Brown appears to be fading and Michale Bush is stuck in a committee. James Starks could potentially emerge as the sleeper and if he or any of these RBs do, the sky is the limit for how good this team can be.
summary	Last year proved H to be a team on the rise, but can they reach the Prestige Playoffs in consecutive season for the first time since 2002? Pending any trades, they will not have much of a draft this year - without any picks until the fourth round. They do have a roster that is built to win now.

FLIPPIN UNITED
strength	RB. Drafting a RB in the 1st Rd for five straight years (a streak that ended with the pick of Sam Bradford last year) has made United a RB-loaded team with explosive players like LeSean McCoy, Jamal Charles and Darren McFadden - who have sort of replaced the teams former superstars Ladainian Tomlinson, DeAngelo Williams and Michael Turner.
weakness	WR. They have many interesting options ate this position, but what United is lacking is a legitimate #1 WR - a player that will start for them every week regardless of matchup. Sidney Rice certainly has the talent to be that player but otherwise this team is scrambling with the WR lineup on a weekly basis.
summary	United's biggest issue will be the teams salary. They currently are $6+ above the salary limit. They may need to trade or release a significant RB or QB from their roster. If Michael Vick and the young RBs can play like they did in the second half of the year, United showed they can score with anyone. Now if they can also find some solid WRs options each week, they should have no problem getting back to the Prestige Finals.

OUTER BANKS LIGHTNING
strength	BALANCE. Lightning did not finish above 3rd in scoring at any position last year but they finished among the top 5 in all but TE and Flex. They have a balanced starting roster with the greatest strength being at QB (Philip Rivers and Matt Ryan).
weakness	FLEX. With Anquan Boldin, Marques Colston and Maurice Jones Drew they have a strong threesome but there are a few questions about the Flex position (where they ranked in the bottom three for the second straight season). They have talent capable of producing in the Flex spot but the question is whether or not they can find steady production and a player they can rely on every week.
summary	After a disappointing year as defending Prestige Champions in 2009, Lightning bounced back in 2010 winning the final 8 regular season games and the National League title. They have some elite talent at every position so they are built to win now. They will need some of the younger players to make some strides this year because they do have some depth concerns to consider.

LOS ANGELES LAKE SHOW
strength	QB. Tom Brady remains among the very elite, Mark Sanchez seems to be improving every year and Lake Show has some future potential in young projects Tim Tebow and Charlie Whitehurst. They also have David Garrard who for the time being is a serviceable backup option.
weakness	WR. The addition of Mike Wallace (who had a breakout year in 2010) last year finally gave this team at least one WR they can start on a weekly basis. 2009 pick Michael Crabtree showed some flashes in his first two seasons but he has yet to develop as a reliable starter. 2010 1st Rd Pick Demaryius Thomas has already been plagued by serious injuries. Santana Moss and Devone Bess are nice underrated options but Lake Show needs another every week player to side with Wallace.
summary	Last year Lake Show was one of the leagues most up-and-down teams. At times they were explosive and at others they were disappointing. Much has to do with the seaosn-ending injury to Dallas Clark as well as the WR position. When this team get production from that position they can consistently matchup with any team in the league.

LAS VEGAS 69ERS
strength	WR. The 69ers are loaded with options at this position as they own probably the leagues deepest WR core lead by a starting three of Andre Johnson, Desean Jackson and Mike Williams. They have an impressive mix of emerging superstars as well as talented veterans.
weakness	QB. After a nice start, Jay Cutler ended with a disappointing 2010 season - as the 69ers quickly learned the value of a player like Drew Brees. Ryan Fitzpatrick proved to be a surprise last year but he is not that player that strikes fear into opponents. Ultimately they need Cutler to return to his 2008 form.
summary	The season goes as does the QB's. When Cutler was hot early on, the 69ers looked unbeatable but he has continually proven to be inconsistent as a #1 QB. The injury of Antonio Gates also hurt this team and having so many options at WR started to make lineup decisions difficult each week. If Gates stays healthy, they find a consistent groups of WRs to stick with, and Cutler or Fitzpatrick can produce serviceable numbers, the 69ers have the capability to return as the highest scoring team in the league. This roster is loaded with talent, they just need to put it all together.

DENVER TOMCATS
strength	RB. The Tomcats two 2nd Rd picks from 2010 (Ben Tate and Montario Hardesty) both suffered season-ending injuries in training camp yet this position remains a strength because of 2010 1st Rd Pick Javid Best (Rookie of the Year) as well as some nice free-agent acquisitions in Peyton Hillis (Free Agent of the Year) and Danny Woodhead. They also have a few nice veteran options with Clinton Portis, Ryan Grant and Carnell Williams.
weakness	WR. Hines Ward has long been one of the league most steady WRs but he is nearing the end of his career and last year only averaged 7 ppg in 12 starts. He is not the player the Tomcats would want as their legitimate #1 WR but at the moment that is where they stand. This team desperately needs help at this position and it will likely need to come via a trade, the draft or through free agency.
summary	The trade for Ben Roethlisberger last year certainly made this team more competitive on a weekly basis because they finally had reliable and consistent scoring from the QB position. The Tomcats have a roster that is improved and they have made some nice trades and free agent acquisitions. They need to build the WR position.

MYRTLE BEACH 328'S
strength	QB. Drew Brees remains among the very elite of the league. Matt Hasselbeck is a nice backup and Colt McCoy gives some the team potential youth. However, ultimately it is all about Brees.
weakness	WR. Terrell Owens had a surprisingly successful season last year though it remains to be seen where he will go next year. Otherwise 328's desperately lack a consistent starter. Kenny Britt, Robert Meachem and Mario Manningham have shown some flashes, but very little that a team can count on a weekly basis. Perhaps those players can have breakout seasons and fully reach the potential they've shown?
summary	Because of Brees, 328's will at least be in every game. Last year they finished among the bottom four at every position except QB and it is difficult to project any differently entering this year. If they can improve at other positions 328's can be a playoff team because of the steady and explosive production they get from the QB position.
