Any advice for my fantasy football team?

Question

First time playing fantasy football, any suggestions on what I should look to do the first few weeks into the season? Thanks in advance.

QB: Tom Brady (NE), David Garrard (Jac)

WR: Brandon Marshall (Den), Lee Evans (Buf), Dwayne Bowe (KC), Drew Bennett (StL), and Ronald Curry (Oak)

RB: Ryan Grant (GB), LenDale White (Tenn), Rudi Johnson (Cin), Felix Jones (Dal)

TE: Todd Heap (Bal), Zach Miller (Oak)

K: David Akers (Phi)

Def: New England

Answer 1

Nice team (If it's a normal 10 team league)-----7.5 out of 10

My suggestion would be to package White+Rudi for a better RB.

2 for 1 trades have about a 50% acceptance rate,from my experience.

(I've made 3 of'em this year;acquiring Brady,Gore,and Houshmendzada)..And while they weaken your bench,they almost always strengthen your starters,who BTW should be your main focus since they actually play from week to week.

I'd offer Lendale+Rudi for RBs like Jamal Lewis,or D.McFadden,

or Earnest Grahm,or Maurice Jones Drew,or Brandon Jacobs

(You can offer several trades all at once to diff. teams..And be patient,

My offer for to get Brady took 8 days.)~~G{}{}d Luck!

Answer 2

Not bad for a first time draft.  Rudi Johnson is very very shaky though.  Keep a tight eye on the Bengals RB situation as Chris Perry is the #1 right now.  But that could end quickly and Watson and/or Johnson could take over.  It will probably be a RBBC situation though where no one will get consistent numbers.  You might want to take a flier on some young guys (if available) with upside like:

RB:  Hightower, Chris Johnson, Slaton---Johnson is probably the best pick for you b/c he can handcuff your Lendale White position well.

WRs. E. Royal, DeShaun Jackson

The guys of least importance on your roster is Miller and Bennett.  You can find equivalent players on the free agent pool at any time.  

I love your backup QB!

Good Luck.

Answer 3

Brandon Marshall (Den)- don't play him he has been suspended for the first few games of the season. Other than that it looks like you have a pretty good football team for this week, especially with Brady at the reins. I would look at the match ups, like what team is playing who, so that you can adjust your starters.
