Answer 1

First off, I have to strongly disagree that somebody would trade Drew Brees for Matt Hasselbeck and Ricky Williams and there is also no way somebody would trade a 2nd rounder (Jamal Lewis, Brandon Jacobs, or Willis McGahee for Anthony Gonzalez [A 3rd receiver on his own team] and Kevin Smith. I don't see any need to either.

That being said, I actually think you have a great team. Matt Hasselbeck is strongly underrated. I mean, look at what he's done for the past few seasons. Pro bowl caliber numbers year in and year out. Considering where his average draft position is, I think he has tons of value. Then you have Garrard on your bench who only threw 3 INT's all of last season - I'd say you have a QB situation.

At running back, Joseph Addai will anchor your team. Playing in the explosive Colts offense and with the passing game they posess, Addai has quick feet and can break long runs opened up by Manning and company. He also catches the ball out of the backfield well, so he;s the foundation of your team. Some say that Kevin Smith could win rookie of the year (Yes, over McFadden) and I think they could be right. If you look at what this guy did at UCF for the Golden Knights, he was putting up Barry Sanders type numbers. Even in a weak conference, that's definitely an accomplishment. Playing in the Lions new offense, I think he's a solid pick for a number two running back.

There's not much to say about your receivers except for the fact you are absolutely loaded. Fitzgerald is one of the guys I'm highest on at the position. His ability to catch anything thrown his way in the redzone is nice to have. Plaxico Burress: Another example of a guy who does well in the redzone due to his tall frame and leaping ability, and then you put that together with a guy who racks up tons of yards and can break the occasional big play in Chad Johnson, I'd say that you have the best receiving trio in your league.

Even though Holmes is a solid receiver, you always start as many running backs as you can. However, you don't have any other starters, so this may be your only choice. Ray Rice (Baltimore Ravens) will be starting the first few games due to Willis McGahee's injury status. He could be a breakout player for the whole season, so if he's available, I would drop Bradshaw and pick him up then plug him in at your flex position. Seriously, your team would be unstoppable.

Watson is a solid tight end.

Tenessee is an underrated defense that has a great secondary and can rack up INT's. Their defensive line is also good and sacks are valuable for team defenses in fantasy football.

Bench isn't too deep, but it's respectable enough.

All that said, there is no question your team has got to be one of the favorites in your league. I'd easily give you a 9/10. Definitely expect your team to contend.

Answer 2

I would try to get a better second running back.  Maybe try to trade Holmes for a pretty good RB and then put Gonzalez in at your Wr/Rb position because he has become adjusted to the Colts offense.

Answer 3

Solid draft/team.....8.5 out of 10.

I usually suggest upgrading through packages (2 inferior players for 1 superior player),and so,I will again.I'd offer K.Smith+Anthony Gonzalez

(recognizable/desirable name,though unproven) for Jamal Lewis,or Brandon Jacobs,or maybe W.McGahee.

And/or offer Hasselbeck+Ricky Williams for D.Brees.

Package trades weaken benches,but strengthen starting lineups.When

it comes to playoff time (after all the bye weeks),I think stronger starters are more important then stronger benchers.~~G{}{}d Luck!

Answer 4

thats great for a 12 team league. i would try to upgrade your rb2 though and get a backup tight end. there are plenty of good ones this year. overall your team is good though. great wideouts

Answer 5

k well its a twelve team league so not so bad

I like your QBs Hasselbeck is underrated

RBs are weak accept for Addai

WRs are above average

TE and Def arent to good. Right now im trying to get Ben Watson as my BACKUP TE and you have him as a starter. not good considering the pats are loaded already

Mostly i would fix two things

depth

Running
