Answer 1

I rate your team a 9. Do not make the trade.

QB- McNabb: 2 seasons ago, he was the #1 fantasy QB before he got hurt. Keep him, because he produces reguardless of who his recievers are. Just a little riskey because of injury

WR's- Wayne: Lead the league in recieving last year, should see the same amount of production, if not more since Harrison is getting old.

Holmes: Will be Big Ben's #1 reciever this year, will probably get somewhere around 1100 yrds to go along with 9-10 td's

Johnson: If he stays healthy, look out NFL. Before he went down last season, he averaged 121 yrds/game. Amazingly physical, and will see huge numbers if he stays healthy.

RB's- Adrian Peterson: Enough Said

Jamal Lewis: Will get most if not all goal line carries, and always has the potential to have huge games.

TE- Chris Cooley - Good tight end, should get many looks from Jason Campbell as their recievers are not top of the line.

DEF - GreenBay - I might be biased(im a green bay fan), but I had their defense last year, and most weeks, they gave me anywehre between 8-12 pts, which is solid for a defense in my opinion.

I love the team, especially the starting lineup. My only advice is to be on the lookout for sleepers early on in the season, and you probably won't need or use Arizona's Defense, so go to the waiver wire, and find someone worth picking up and get rid of Arizona's D.

Good luck this season, and stay active.

Answer 2

rated 7, dont swap!

Answer 3

QBs: B+ not the greatest, bit risky, McNabb is easily injured and Cutler, i think is a toss up if McNabb stays healthy hes great.

RBs B-Your not deep at all here... your starters are very good and thomas jones could be a sleeper but... you need another RB bad you could get a decent one for one of your WRs since they are all good

WR A Very very good starters and deep, no problems here

TE: A Youve got two of the very best.. but you couldve got another RB which wouldve been better, beyond the tope 4 or 5 TEs dont really make a huge difference, during the bye week you could just pick one up off waivers and be ok

D A- not the best but one of the better ones

K A Kaeding is usually good...

Overall: A-/B+ or about a 7 you should compete with this team and do well, i would trade for another RB though.

As for the trade.... theres no point theyre both about the same right now and Holmes has a better QB so dont do it

Answer 4

Stick to football or SOCCER as you call it

Answer 5

7 need a better QB and Defense, I would accept that trade because Bowe is a better receiver.

Answer 6

QB: McNabb/Cutler - not bad.  McNabb has top 5 potential and if he gets hurt Cutler is a great insurance policy 8/10

RB: Peterson/Lewis/Jones - very good starters, but Jones as your lone backup worries me. 8/10

WR: AJ/Wayne/Holmes/RWill/Ginn - Awesome.  Definitely a position of strength for you. 10/10

TE: Cooley/Watson - Not bad, but not good either.  Luckily it's only the tightend position so you don't lose out too bad here. 6/10

Overall: 8/10

I'm really shocked at the lack of bench spots for your league.  What happens if a player gets injured?  You have to drop them to pick up someone who can actually put up points?

I don't really care for the trade.  I think Holmes and Bowe are pretty equal, but Holmes has a much better QB.  

If I were you, I'd be looking to upgrade the guys on your bench.  Try packaging several of these guys together and offering 2-for-1 or 3-for-1 deals, then filling out the empty spots with free agents.  With benches this small there have got to be some decent guys available.
