Answer 1

I want to play in the 4 leagues the 1st respondent is in. Zach Hilton is a TE for the Saints and was one of the best over the 2nd half of last season. Koren Robinson has been in the league for about 6 years and has a good chance at being the #1 or #2 WR in MN (as long as he stays away from "Grampa's cough syrup").

Also, why would you drop Addai? Yeah, he may not be the #1 at the beginning of the season, but the Colts didn't draft him to be a backup.

As for your team, I would give it a 8.5 - 9 out of 10. Your RB's are awesome. Edge, McGahee, and Julius Jones are fantastic. Edge is in a new city, but his team is about as close to the Colts offensively as there is in the NFL. McGahee is injury prone and does not have a good QB in Buffalo, but he should put up above average numbers. Same with Julius Jones as he will get some competition from Marion Barber III.

Fitzgerald is a stud WR that will prove himself to be a top 5 WR this year. I am a MSU fan so I tend to chear for Plaxico, but I stay away from him in FF. Rumor has it he doesnt get along with Eli Manning and Amani Toomer may give him a run for his money as the #1 WR. Rod Smith is a capable #3 WR on your team and will split catches this year in Denver with Javon Walker.

Green and Brunell are good QB's, but I am not 100% on Brunell. He got off to a great start last year, but tapered off towards the end. Both Brunell and Green are older QB's, but should put up very good numbers.

Your TE's are decent, nothing too impressive. Personally, I would drop one of them and take a flyer on Leonard Pope from AZ.

Your Defense is very good and has been for a few years. Always a good sign for a starting FF Defense.

I would drop 1 of your kickers and look for some extra depth at WR.

Make sure to check out bye weeks (the NFL got rid of week 10 as a bye week and now weeks 5 & 6 have 6 teams with a bye), as that may influence whom you can drop. If you stick with Watson at TE and Brown at K, figure out which one has their bye week 1st. Whomever does, get rid of the backup for the other one and get depth at WR. Then, once you've used the bye week for the TE (assuming Watson's bye week is before Brown's), you can drop the backup TE and pickup a backup K.

Good luck and I would say you have a legit chance at winning it all.

Answer 2

Your QBs will be consistent, but not great. Your RBs are deep and strong. At WR, I don't like Burress and Robinson, but this is not the problem. The Worst is at TE. I guess you waited too long for one. While Watson is ok, New England spreads it out a lot, and Graham shares in the playing time. Too much talent in Nawlins for Hilton to get much attention. I would look to trade J.Jones for a better TE and a good WR, then pickup D.Rhodes. Or maybe trade Edge for another great RB, since he and Larry will be stepping on each others fantasy toes.

Answer 3

Ok, I am in 4 football leagues and tend to very well, however, honestly, I cannot even tell you what position or team Hilton or Robinson plays for. I would drop those two and joseph addai as he will be benched, playing behind dominique rhodes. With those three new openings, I would get a backup defense, a better backup QB and drop brunell, then get a decent TE and WR.

Answer 4

well the key to fantasy football is havin depth at rb and wr. That being said kickers are easily replaceable at byes and almos never hurtso you should cut one of those kickers to have a better bench. Joseph Addai is good but he isnt the starter for sure, can u get get Rhodes for insurance if u cant try pickin up anotha wr that might see playing time such as Charles Rogers or a Jacksonville wr. I also suggest u cut Hilton, ur team's most important positions r ur wr's and rb's. Theres no worries at qb you have too great quaterbacks. I hope dat helps and good luck.

Answer 5

I like your team the way it is.

Answer 6

I don't think you will have to do too much, your team looks solid at all positions.
