Let's roll out a team with a few question marks for fantasy, mostly because their manager likes to juggle 15 different players for every role/position.
Catcher
Jose Molina got 251 ABs last year. He might get more this year. He's still not a good fantasy player, even for a buck he'll probably hurt you because of his AVG. The Rays' backups are worse. I guess Jose Lobaton is the backup? Chris Gimenez? Robinson Chirinos? I wouldn't touch any of these guys, and there's no help down on the farm.
Infield
Evan Longoria will get as many ABs as he can handle at 3B. He's a first round pick, but injuries are a concern. Yunel Escobar should get all the ABs he isn't suspended for at SS. I really don't love him in TB which isn't a good place to hit. Ben Zobrist and Kelly Johnson will get most of the ABs at 2B, and both will serve as utility guys when they're not at 2B. James Loney as the 1B starter? Ugh. Between Loney and Molina, both great gloves with zero bat, the Rays are trying to corner the market on ALL the 1-0 games. Sean Rodriguez is in the mix, and if Maddon lets him mash lefties he could be worth a buck as a .230-10HR guy in 200 ABs. Ryan Roberts is also in the mix and will probably get the ABs Longoria misses due to injury/rest. I like him more than S-Rod as a buck player. Tim Beckham could finally make it to the majors as another utility guy. Maybe Shelley Duncan, Luke Scott, Jack Cust, and Hak-Ju Lee get some play here too. Wait, is Scott the starting DH until Myers comes up?
Outfield
Wil Myers will start at AAA and probably stay there until he isn't a super-2 guy any more. Maybe 400 ABs. Don't count on him earning what he costs in a redraft league. Desmond Jennings in CF, Matt Joyce in LF, and a lot of Zobrist in RF? I guess Super Sam Fuld is in the mix, as well as Duncan, Roberts, KJ and maybe Brandon Guyer. Your guess is as good as mine how this shakes out, other than Joyce getting full ABs against righties and Jennings playing almost every day. Fuld should be worth a couple bucks for his speed. Myers will still play once he is allowed to come up.
Rotation
Finally some good news! David Price! Matt Moore! Jeremy Hellickson! After the big 3, Alex Cobb probably has a rotation spot locked up. Jeff Niemann, Jake Odorizzi, and Roberto "Fausto" Hernandez are competing for the #5 spot. I guess Chris Archer is probably in the mix too. I like Moore to take a huge step forward, Price to continue to be awesome and Hellboy to continue his wizardry. I like Cobb a lot too. Niemann is good for a couple bucks and Fausto is the darkhorse. Assuming Carmona/Hernandez doesn't make the rotation, he'll be a low-leverage groundball guy who could earn a buck based on park/defense. Archer could get the Moore/Price treatment and come up to show off his stuff in a relief/late-season role.
Bullpen
Can Fernando Rodney do it again? His ADP seems to indicate a little bit of skepticism but he's generally valued as an elite closer, if not the Eckersley clone he was last year. Jake McGee is lights out as a setup guy, but the Rays might not give him saves if Rodney falters, since that would jack up his arbitration price. Kyle Farnsworth or Joel Peralta could step in if needed. Hernandez probably won't. Cesar Ramos is a solid #2 lefty and Jamey Wright is a groundballer to eat some innings. Given their park and Maddon's usage, Peralta/McGee/Farnsy/Hernandez could all earn at least a buck in AL-only leagues.
I think we're looking at these lineups (pre-Myers)
vs. RH pitchers
CF Jennings
SS Yunel
RF Zobrist
3B Longoria
LF Joyce
DH Scott
2B KJ
1B Loney
C some crappy guy
vs. LH pitchers
CF Jennings (maybe not leadoff though)
SS Yunel
RF Zobrist
3B Longoria
LF Joyce (I guess)
DH Ryan Roberts
1B Shelly Duncan
2B S-Rod
C some crappy guy
