Answer 1

From what I see, you have a very solid team this year.

Jay Cutler has looked very good this preseason, though he won't Brandon Marshall to throw to for at least 2 weeks. At RB you are defintiely good - Westbrook is a perennial top back, Smith has looked incredible as a rookie, McFadden is a roll of the dice but he will get 20-30 touches a game so there is a high chance of success. WR is very good with Fitzgerald as he catches everything thrown his way, Marhsall will be a top WR agian after he serves his minimum 2 game suspension, Steve Smith is the exact same as Marshall - 2 game suspension to begin season but after that look out because Delhomme is healthy and looking like he did the eyar they made a super bowl run, and Bruce in SF is looking like the go-to guy out there now that Alex Smith has been benched for JT O'Sullivan.

TE's are pretty much bonuses if you get anything beyond 5points a game out of them (depending on how your league scores) and you have Heap a perennial All Pro when healthy. Your defenses are stacked with 2 top 10 squads.

If I were you I'd look at the waiver wire/free agent market and dump QB Edwards and RB Morris for a RB who will get some time even if just split carries, and definitely add another K. Kickers the past couple of years have been getting an AVG of 3 FG attmps a game, plus extra points. If you can get 10 points AVG out of a K, that is icing on the cake. You have a good K, but GB may not move the bacll and get in raneg as much as last year with Favre gone, so I would defintiely look for another solid K, and as a tip, look for a K who plays home dome games. As for the spare RB, it all depends who is available in your league. If Ricky Williams is there, grab him and don't think twice. He is running liek a man possessed, and Ronnie Brown looks horrid so fsr this preseason. Williams will get 50/50 time and quite possibly start by week 5. If he is gone, looke for Steve Slaton(R) RB Houston. He is fitting into thet Offense nicely, and no other RB wants to stpe up and take the job, they are all old or career backups. There is alot of upside to Slaton - extremely fast who hits the hole hard, a down hill runner, ctaches passes out of the backfield, and he has a nose for the endzone, ala Marshall Faulk in the glory days of the Rams Super Bowl  teams.
