Is my FF Team good enough to win?

Question

Peyton Manning

Steve Smith

Larry Johnson

Calvin Johnson

Earnest Graham

Now that Drew Carter is hurt should I start Ronald Curry or Reggie Brown fro Steve Smith while he is on suspension? Thanks!

Answer 1

if it stays healthy

Answer 2

Your team looks pretty solid and has a lot of potential.  Here's my reasons.  

Peyton will have another good season.  The lingering knee injury is something to be concerned about, though, and keep posted on his condition.  Rumor has it that Peyton might miss week 1 and 2, but sources are saying much about Peyton.  Some believe he will be ready to go for week 1, but he is questionable.  You don't list your backup QB, and if you don't have one, you'll have to pick one up.  

Your RB's are solid, with a lot of upside.  Jones Drew should do well, as should Earnest Graham, who broke out last year.  But Larry Johnson is a question.  LJ looked horrible in three preseason games, and the Chiefs O-Line is one of the worst in the league with the loss of Will Allen.  Quite frankly, LJ is over-ranked in leagues.  For you though, Johnson is your 3rd RB, so I wouldn't worry.

Cooley is a redzone threat in the new Redskin offense, and he will post good numbers.  Driver is not exactly a favorite of Aaron Rogers thus far, although a lot of balls will come his way.  Steve Smith had a letdown after a superb 2006 season.  With Stewart taking a load of the Carolina run game, I think Smith can put up good numbers.  Calvin Johnson is another guy with a lot of upside.

Your team is good, but there are question marks.  Graham could struggle in the Bucs weak offense, and Jones-Drew is injury prone.  I'd give your team an 8.5/10.  Looks like your playoff bound.

Good luck,

Answer 3

Its decent for a 10man league. I dont really like your WR situation though. Both Johnsons are good, but you dont have anywhere to go from there
