Do I have a good Fantasy Football team?

Question

Can you please help me critic my team if I did anything wrong? Thanks!

QB: Tony Romo

RB: Ernest Graham, and Justin Fargas

WR: Terrell Owens, and Chris Chambers

TE: Jason Witten

W/R: Patrick Crayton

PK: Rob Bironas

D/ST: Dallas Cowboys

BN: Bubba Franks, Jamarcus Russell, LaMont Jordan, Terry Glenn, Limas Sweed, and Jermichael Finley

Answer 1

Romo is good during the season so thats good for fantasy i would say he is a 9/10

Ernest graham i dont think will start because of cadillac

Fargas wont get as much because of mcfadden

Terrel owens 9/10

chris chambers 8/10

Witten 10/10

Crayton 8/10

Bironas 10/10

Cowboys 8/10

Franks isnt great

Russel hasnt played well but you have a good starter

Lamont wont play cuz of darren

Limas sweed might do well

you are weak in the most important position of fantasy football

the running back

you need to make some trades to get someone like

tomlinson, peterson, jackson, westbrook, grant, addai ect

Answer 2

Not really. Your RB's suck!

Answer 3

The thing that jumps off the page here is your RBs, which need immediate attention.

Hopefully you are in a deeper league (12 teams plus) or a new member in an extensive keeper league with limited options on the table for RB during your draft; otherwise, it may be a long season without a little work.  No need to panic, but some attention is needed.  All other positions are fine right now relative to your RB, and I would recommend you focusing all of your energy on bolstering your RB core.  Once that is done, we can tweak some other things, but they are not nearly as problematic at the moment.   If in a league that requires a RB, WR, RB/WR flex start, your situation, while concerning, is not as bad as you can lean a little more on your WRs and rely more on Graham as your RB, who is your best back.  If in a league that requires 2 RBs to start, then you are in a pickle.

OK -- how to help.  First off and as previously mentioned, Graham is your best back; however, I would feel better with him as a RB#2 rather than a RB#1 as he relatively unproven and Tampa Bay is still trying to figure out who they are (i.e. who is their QB for one).  Fargas is going to lose a lot of touches to McFadden as the season wears on, so Fargas provides a temporary stop-gap for your team while you move to bolster your RB depth.  You can easily drop Jordan (OAK looking to get rid of him), Glenn (Jerry Jones owns him as Glenn cannot find other teams wanting his services), and Franks (never use a valuable roster slot on a back-up TE).  

Next, have a very quick trigger on the waiver wire.  As soon as you hear any news regarding an injury to a RB starter on any team during the preseason, run, don't walk to the waiver wire and immediately pick-up their back up if still available.  Also, you can try to trade, although it is very tough after a draft as most folks are in love with every player on their team.  It takes a few weeks into the regular season when their love dies as players are slow out of the gates and prime targets to scoop up in a trade.  Regardless, look at your overall draft and see what RBs were taken relative to their "average draft position".  The ones that were taken significantly later can indicate they are not as valued by that owner as they should and prime targets to try to pull off a trade.  Thomas Jones would be a great candidate if you can pull it off without giving too much.  Punching a Denver RB lottery ticket or even a Bears RB flyer could help at least give you some better options than you've got.  

As for trading, when offering a trade, the best is to ask "What would it take to get Player X?"  Just like negotiating, let the first person name the price, which immediately puts them at a disadvantage.  It will also give you a read as to what their expectations are... when offering them a trade, try to bundle players so you offer 2 or 3 and get just one player in return.  Naturally offer sub-tier players and the idea here is hoping your opponent / perspective trade prospect looks at ALL the players stats COMBINED when deciding to accept or not, and you make theses combined stats greater than the single player stats you are after (without giving up any single great player).  That can help a deal get done, particularly with someone less experienced in fantasy football.  They just look at the aggregate stats and fail to consider that you can only start ONE player in place of the lost roster spot of the player they gave up...   Right now trying to land a stud RB (RB rankied #1 - ~#5) is going to cost too much, but targeting a second-tier RB (RB ranked ~#10 - 20) could be possible to pull-off without having to give too much.  This type of RB would bolster your lineup and give you a little better depth.

Hope this helps and good luck!

Answer 4

No you do not. You are extremely weak at RB which is the most important position.

Answer 5

Try to deal and get another WR - Chambers and Crayton have put up horrible numbers the last few years.

Answer 6

Okay, quartback is good

you definitely need better running backs because they are the most valuable and Earnest Graham and Justin Fargas are not known to get big if not respectable numbers

Terrell Owens is very good...Chris Chambers ehh but he should be alright with Phillip Rivers as his QB

Jason Whitten is a solid tight end

Patrick Crayton should do pretty well if not you could maybe pick up somebody else who is having a good season

Good kicker

and good team

Like your bench

Overall good team just strongly consider making a trade for a better running back

Answer 7

You need a top RB. Both of your guys will be lucky to get 15 carries a game. You must be a Dallas fan. You will be in trouble during their bye week. Dump your 3rd TE and Glenn or Crayton and pick up 2 RBs.
