So what do you think?

Answer 1

How many teams are in your league? If we don't know that, we don't really know how deep your team should be. My guess is that you're in a 12 team league by looking at your team. I think you are definitely weak at QB, although a lot of people are predicting Eli to have a very good season. But even still, I don't see him as an upper-tier QB. I would say you are fairly weak at RB as well. In my opinion, that is the most important position in fantasy football. Although I do like Jones-Drew, Chester Taylor isn't going to do a whole lot as long as Adrian Peterson is healthy. That being said, Peterson has been injury prone in the past, so if he does go down, Taylor should put up good numbers. I think you are very solid at WR. You have 2 very good number 1 and 1A receivers in Moss and Ocho Cinco. Although Evans was a disappointment last year, he has put up very good numbers in the past and I wouldn't be too surpised if he put up decent numbers this year. Desean Jackson is a very good pick, and I look for him to put up good numbers, at least until the other Eagles wide receivers get healthy. The rest of your team looks good. I'm not a big believer in having back-up tight ends or defenses though, at least until they have bye weaks, so if I were you I'd try to trade the Packers D to someone with a weak defense, and drop Alex Smith for a potential sleeper.

Not bad for your first fantasy draft! It gets easier and easier every time you do it. Good luck!

Answer 2

QBs are weak. Chestor Taylor? Trade him to whoever has AP. Other then that really good, just hope that johnson (now ocho cinco) doesn't get suspended for his antics

Answer 3

Drop Smith ASAP!! He is not starting-

Johnson is hurt, but should be okay about game 3/4...if al these players perform you should do quite well...however you do have an inconsistant bunch- (minus Moss and Clark)

Answer 4

really good team. but i wuld look at upgrading at QB

Answer 5

Portis is c**p.  I like your WR's though.  You should try to get some better RBs though.  And why do you have both Packers and Patriots D's?

Try trading to a team with worse for another RB, maybe a sleeper.

Or pick someone up, another RB.  I don't really think you need backups for positions like TE and D unless you have to start more than 1...you just will have to pick one up during their bye weeks.  Same with kicker but at least you followed that rule ;P

Answer 6

i think what you think differs from what i think. your team is bellow average.

Answer 7

You are going to need some help at QB

Answer 8

I think it's a pretty solid team...i ironically have the same RB tandem (portis/jone-drew)...barring any injuries, they should be just fine, both give you the added dimension of recieving out of the backfield...Your QB's aren't, in my opinion, your strongest position...you may consider dropping the GB defense or Alex Smith and grab another QB...you may be surprised, but Trent Edwards (Bills) may surprise alot of people this year ...but i think for the balance you have at each position (with the exception of QB), you ought to be very competitive! good luck!

Answer 9

your running backs are horrible. your qbs good nfl quarter backs just not good fantasy quarterbacks. they wont put up big #'s.
