Fantasy football advice...?

Question

i am in a 12 team league and have had a burning question. Should i start matt hasselbeck or brett favre? here is my roster:

*i made some pretty dumb moves but i think i have a very solid team

Favre, Brett QB NYJ

Addai, Joseph RB IND

White, LenDale RB TEN

Edwards, Braylon WR CLE

Stallworth, Donte' WR CLE

Ward, Hines WR PIT

Gates, Antonio TE SD

Dawson, Phil K CLE

Vikings DST

Hasselbeck, Matt QB SEA

Johnson, Chris RB TEN

Mendenhall, Rashard RB PIT

Taylor, Chester RB

Raiders DST

also if you could rank my team by position and/or give me some tips that would be just fantastic

Answer 1

Dude your pretty solid if you ask me... it would be really difficult to have all starters but you loaded up with goo picks to start your team and the bench is guys that MAY contribute at points of the season... Hasselbeck use pressure off.....he is going to be tested here early because all the veteran receivers are hurt except Burleson, and no proven running game (Alexander) to take th.... lets see what develops... so for now I would start Favre at the beginning of the season but keep an eye on match-ups and how the passing game in Seattle re-develops...

I like the idea of looking at what you can get from the AP owner for Chester Taylor but dont be in a hurry to make that happen until the bye week of one of your RB's....  Raiders defisn'tt really worth a heck of alt to hang onto if there is someone on the waiver wire... use that slot as a weekly pickup... if a defense or player has a greatmatch-upp over a currentstarter orr starter on a bye, pick them up in that slot to spot start for you but the Viking D is going to do it for you most weeks.

HOLD TIGHT until the season starts before you get to antsy to make a move, you have a solid team now...don't mess with it until you NEED to...

Answer 2

You still have a lot of time before you have to make this decision. I would watch Favre and see how well he grasps the offense. Hasselbeck is a good QB, but his WR corp is beat up pretty bad. Play the matchups.

Answer 3

12 team is usually a little thin on the ground. If you picked up Hasselbeck and Farve you probably burned some good picks to get both. The answer to your immediate question is to check their matchups, but if Farve gets comfortable with the Jets offense, he might be the better of the two.

But like I said before, getting both of them seems to hurt your receiving core depth. Assuming one of those is in a rb/wr flex slot you're still going to run into issues in week 5 during the browns bye week. Maybe you could trade Taylor to AP's owner for a good wr.

The White/Johnson is a little weird. I dont know many that recommend handcuffs for rbbc. Seems like you would be praying for one of them to get injured which is just a weird thing for a fantasy owner to do.

And its probably a personal bias, but I'd probably leave my defensive slot empty before I started the raiders defense.

Answer 4

I would probably go with hasselbeck initially until you see how favre is handling the new offense. As for ranking I'd say you are a 7-8 out of 10. I'd definitely recommend dropping the raiders d and grab some more depth at rb or wr
