Rate my team and suggestions at WR/RB?

Question

QB - Donovan McNabb

RB - Marion Barber

RB - Frank Gore

WR - Marques Colston

WR - Wes Welker

TE - Jason Witten

W/R - Selvin Young

K - Shayne Graham

DEF - Indianapolis (just for week 1 bc they're playing the Bears)

BN - Nate Burleson

BN - Ray Rice

BN - Kevin Smith

BN - Kevin Curtis (he can obviously be dropped)

BN - Dallas

I feel like I can use another WR in case Burleson doesn't turn out to be the stud I think he's going to be. Selvin Young also makes me a bit nervous. I'd love to see McGahee go down, I think Rice will make a fine starter.

Answer 1

as you suspect, you have a good team..must have been a 8 team draft.

If you want to try a 12 man league with live draft and free next week tuesday or thursday evening send me an email and I will send you an invite.

Answer 2

1st off I'd grab Chris Johnson (RB) if available,he may snag the rooky

of the year,and may out perform S.Young.Another good pickup could be E.Royal (WR/Denver) who has been named a starter.

Other wise,I'd offer package deals to teams to upgrade positions.

For instance D.McNabb+Indi. for D.Brees,or C.Palmer

And/or S.Young+K.Curtis for Reggie Bush,or Earnest Grahm,or Thomas Jones..(If you're gonna drop Curtis,1st see if you can trade him )~~G{}{}d Luck!  

Answer 3

you are going to need a big year from McNabb.

It looks like you will have some fairly consistent scoring getting about 250 - 300 yards rushing, just over 200 yards receiving, 250 if Witten gets involved. and about 3 to 4 touch downs. Out of your skill players.

Barber, Gore, and Young are all going to do most of the carries, but are splitting time, I don't think you will see many 2 TD games out of any one of them. Colston and Welker are solid you can count on 100 from each and at least 1 TD a week. I wouldn't worry too much about the WR spot, esp with Burleson coming in off the bench.

Graham will get you 2ish field goals and 2-3 EPs.

Indy has been ranked one of the top turn over Defs in the last several seasons, they may have better points in the end than Dallas, either way you are solid at the Def.

Overall pretty solid. If McNabb can stay healthy and perform like has been at the beginning of each of the last few seasons through the entire season you have a pretty good squad.
