Feedback on my Fantasy Team, please (Football) ?

Question

Would appreciate constructive comments on my team, i.e. strengths, weaknesses, possible moves etc. Thanks!! :) (Note: Yahoo Public League, 10-team)

QB -- T. Brady (NE), C. Pennington (NYJ)
WR -- C. Johnson (Cin), R. Moss (Oak), E. Kennison (KC), K. Johnson (Car), B. Lloyd (Was)
RB -- W. Dunn (Atl), D. McAllister (NO), F. Taylor (Jac)
TE -- H. Miller (Pit)
K -- N. Rackers (Ari), J. Wilkins (StL)
DEF -- Chicago, Dallas

I agree with the many who say I am weak at RB. Have offered to trade R. Moss and Dallas (DEF) for Tiki Barber. Still an open offer right now. Will see what happens. Thanx for all the input thus far.

P.S. I drafted sixth in a 10-team league, so guys like Manning, LT, etc were already gone. C. Johnson was my 1st round pick.

Answer 1

My thoughts, by position:

QB - Brady is, in my opinion, the best QB in the league. He's consistent and will put up solid numbers every week. Pennington is a huge question mark. Will he be recovered from having major surgery?

WR - Your group is decent at best. Johnson is a standout, and Moss should still be regarded as a very good receiver. Although, Oaklands QB situation is very suspect. This could lessen the number of catches and TD's for Moss. Kennison is middle of the pack talent.

RB - This area seems very weak for you. No standouts. All of these players are basically backup talents.

TE - Solid. Of course, the status of Big Ben right now is slightly worrisome.

K - Solid. Arizona will be improved this year. And with the Rams high powered offense Wilkins will get his points.

DEF - The major question is whether Chicago can duplicate the dominance it had last year. Most likely not, but they should still be good.

I would do what you can to improve your RB situation. That would give you a better foundation to start your year.

Answer 2

Not bad at the QB point, but Pennington would not have been my first choice for backup QB.
WR is strong, especially with Chad Johnson on the roster. Just hope that Randy does not have another injury laden season.
RB is underrated, since Dunn seems to surprise everyone each pf the last two or three seasons (Atlanta does have a solid run game). McAllister will split time with Bennett and/or Bush, so that will hurt a little bit. Fred Taylor is on the downslide of his career and is tending to get injury prone as well.
TE is solid for a starter, but drop a WR and get a backup TE for the bye week that Miller will have during the season.
K is very solid ... that is all
DEF is nasty with Chicago returning with its full set of starters and improved secondary. Dallas is not bad, but there were probably a couple better options available.

Answer 3

STRENGTHS:
(a) Mr. Brady. Very consistent quarterback and puts up good stats year after year.
(b) C. Johnson: With Carson Palmer at the helm, the sky is the limit.
(c) N. Rackers: Solid pick.

**as a whole, your RBs are O.K.**

WEAKNESSES:
(a) Pennington: Very susceptible to being injured again, and even when healthy, is not very good.
(b) R. Moss: Don't see a great season out of him. Watch his games, and his is constantly double teamed which makes it hard for him to catch passes.
(c) Defense: Not sure about the idea of drafting Dallas' defense.

POSSIBLE TRADES/MOVES:
(a) Trade Moss away for another receiver (i.e. Boldin) or a better RB. With Moss' value, you may be able to get another player as well.

*If you are to trade Moss, heavily sugget you do it before the season starts*

(b) See what other defenses are on the wire. Dont underestimate a defense like Carolina's.

Answer 4

QB your choices are ok did you have first pick in your league cause if you did then your an idiot cause peytin manning has so much more tounchdowns and yards
but if not then tom brady was a good choice
i myself would have went with carson palmer cause him and chad johnson and have alot of touchdowns and yrds too

your WR are ok id trade moss for somebody else maybe marvin harrison
w. dunn isnt doing to have a year like he did last year if vick performs like he says he will with the fixed leg
in TE you picked a good choice steelers are all about the short game and so he will have alot of completions if he cathces well this year but with their starting QB out of the picture then the backup might have favorites
kickers are great
defense i would have gone with cinncinnati and arizona
arizona was ranked 8th last year in defense and cinncinnati was even better

Answer 5

really, why such the early draft? a lot can happen in these 3 months before the season starts. Training camp and preseason can easily cause injuries, so ideally you should draft mid to late August.

oh well, RB is definately your weak point. Unfortunately, the RB position is the most important in most leagues.

Answer 6

I think you are phenomenally strong in wide receivers and your starting QB is top-knotch, of course. Brady is Mr. Consistent. However, your RBs are decent but none of them are a game-breaker as far as fantasy Football is concerned. And we all know, of course, that RB is the most important position in fantasy football. I'm not sure if McAllister is recovered from last year's season-ending injury. (I drafted him last year and lived to regret it.) Your TE and Kickers are solid, and you are very strong on defense.

Answer 7

wow. thats a really weak squad. you should dump pennington and one of your kickers. im guessing this is your first league. deuce isnt even the starter anymore in NO and dunn splits time. you need a rb desperately if you want to have any chance at competing.

Answer 8

Good wideouts (assuming Moss returns to form), decent QB, but
your running backs are abysmal. Two backs who split time and broken down Taylor? Start trading right...now.

Answer 9

Why have you drafted already??
