When you play in a 14-team league or larger, you have to understand that your lineup following the draft will most likely be weak somewhere. Having a dominant roster is challenging if you play in a competitive league.

And that's what we have here with our Fantasy Football Today Podcast League. This is a 14-team, PPR league where me, Adam Aizer, Heath Cummings and Dave Richard participate with 10 listeners of our show. You can listen here.

This year, we had an added bonus everyone who is playing in this league made a generous donation to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital as part of our Draft-A-Thon. You can donate and bid on auctioned items here. We greatly appreciate your efforts, and that makes this league even more exciting.

I share my team with Todd Rones, who has gone above and beyond with his generosity toward St. Jude for several years. We had the No. 6 overall pick, and I love the way our team came together.

We took a Hero-RB approach after we started with Amon-Ra St. Brown in Round 1. Before the draft, we agreed that Kenneth Walker III was someone we wanted, and we had to select him in Round 2 based on the players on the board. It's not ideal to draft him there, but we wanted to get our guy.

It worked out well that Deebo Samuel fell in our lap in Round 3, and we were excited to land Dalton Kincaid in Round 4. We felt like getting a standout tight end was a priority in this deep league, and Kincaid should be in line for a breakout season.

Chris Godwin was another receiver we wanted, and we got him in Round 5. And we were beyond thrilled to get Kyler Murray in Round 6. We both agree that Murray could have an amazing season with the addition of Marvin Harrison Jr.

When we got to Round 7, it was time to get running back help, and Chase Brown was our best available option. He went one spot after Zack Moss, and we'll see who the Bengals decide to lean on this year. I give a slight nod to Brown, so this worked out well for us.

We selected Khalil Shakir in Round 8 since he was the best-player available on the board. And then it was back to the running back pool with Gus Edwards (Round 9), Kimani Vidal (Round 10), Antonio Gibson (Round 11) and Tank Bigsby (Round 12). Hopefully, one or two of these guys emerge as a potential Fantasy starter, and then this team could be dominant.

But you see coming out of the draft that running back is clearly the weakness of this team. As Todd said, "we'll just have to be aggressive on the waiver wire," and he's right. We'll likely use a good portion of our FAAB budget on running backs based on the construction of this roster.

As a reference point for this draft, all touchdowns are worth six points, and we award one point for every 10 yards rushing and receiving and one point for every 25 yards passing. We also award one point for every reception. We feature a starting lineup of QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE, FLEX (RB/WR/TE), DST and K with six reserves for a 15-round draft.

Our draft order is as follows:

1. Ken Townsel

2. Dave Richard

3. Carlos Questell

4. Keaton Richardson

5. Adam Aizer

6. Jamey Eisenberg

7. Matt Lotshaw

8. James Andreev
