What do you think of my fantasy football team?

Question

QB Peyton Manning
RB Clinton Portis
RB/WR Tatum Bell
WR Torry Holt
WR Mushin Muhammad
TE Jeremy Shockey
DEF Giants
K Akers
Bench RB Marion Barber
TE Randy Mcmichael
DEF Redskins
QB Charlie Frye
WR Kevin Curtis
RB Joseph Addai
WR Drew Bennett

i had the 5th pick out of 10 people

Answer 1

QB's: Charlie Frye and Peyton Manning

Pretty good. Manning is very consistent and Frye won't do anything anytime soon.

Grade: A-

RB: Joseph Addai, Marion Barber, Tatum Bell, Clinton Portis

This is better than the QB's. Corps lacks depth, but should be pretty good.

Grade: B+

WR: Torry Holt, Mushin Muhammed, Kevin Curtis, Drew Bennett

This is OK. Muhammed is on the Bears, who's passing game is terrible. Holt is aging, Curtis and Bennett are just a bit above average.

Grade: B

TE: Randy McMichael and Jeremy Shockey

Good with Shockey. McMichael is average.

Grade: B-

DEF: Redskins and Giants

Good. Not much to say here.

Grade: A-

K: David Akers

Good. Most Kickers are the same, so this is good.

Grade: B

OVERALL GRADE: A-

SUGGESTIONS: Try trading a bench player like Frye/Curtis/Bennett for a better backup QB. That might help. Your WR corps needs help too. See who you can get when trading Addai, Barber, etc.

HOPE THIS HELPS AND GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 2

I don't know what people expect in a fantasy team, but your team is stacked and should be into it to the end

QBs: A+..Who cares who your backup is, Manning is going to play every week but one, and Frye is serviceable. I would keep my eye on the waiver wire for the week Manning is out, but you have the best QB in the league, has to be an A+.

RBs: B+..How did you get Portis AND Manning? Portis is a top 5 back. I'm not crazy about Tatum Bell, just because you never know what Denver is going to do at RB, but as a #2 guy you could do worse. Keep an eye on the waiver wire for RBs who get hot, but you did well with Barber and Addai, they have a lot of upside.

WRs: B..This is your weakest position, and it ain't bad. Torry Holt is a top 6 WR. Muhammad isn't a great option at #2, again keep your on on the waiver wire, an unknown WR gets hot every year, especially look at teams like the Lions, Packers, 49ers. They're bad, but someone has to catch passes for them. I really like Drew Bennett.

TE: B+..Shockey is a level below the top 2 guys, but again a very solid pick. McMichael is a servicable backup.

DEF: B..You really don't know about defenses, every year a defense or 2 suprises. I actually like the Skins D more than the Giants, but you can play matchups.

K: B. Again, you can always pick up a kicker if you need to, I wouldn't draft one if I didn't have to. Who drafted Neil Rackers last year? Akers is very consistent. If he gets hurt, you'll have plenty of options

Any team is going to suffer if one of their top guys gets hurt, but if you stay healthy, this is a playoff team.

Answer 3

You better hope Manning, Portis, and Holt carry your team because you don't have much after that. Your bench is attrocius as you only have 1 RB on your team that will be a true #1. Muhammed is a decent WR, but he should only be viewed as a #3 or #4 with the Bears O.

There has to be better FA's then Frye for a backup. I realize you have Manning and Frye should only play 1 game, but you will finish in last if Manning goes down.

Your TE's are good, but that shouldn't be a plural statement. You obviously used way too high of a pick on McMichael as your backup when you could have been getting better backups at RB or WR.

Overall, I wouldn't be scared of your team unless Manning, Portis, and Holt were facing weak opponents.

Answer 4

You have a nice team. Back up quarterback is shaky...but nobody has been more dependable at QB then Manning. Your WR's are not strong as a group, but Holt has a shot at being productive this year. Very good TE's. DEF's are good as well. RB is good with Portis...although he worries me some with his dependability. Tatum is a mystery...could be good. Addai should eventually win the job in Indy, he will be solid then. Overall, if your RB's perform, you have an excellent chance to win.

Answer 5

only thing I don't like... wrs... Muhammad, curtis and bennett have been hit and miss... they could all give you 10 points each one week and not give you anything for two weeks in a row... it can be hard... but that's the deal with fantasy wrs... it's tough to find consistent guys... but, everyone has that problem...

I like addai, bell and portis... hoping danye will drift out of the picture, and I think he will... good job overall...

I'm not big on Frye... but hey, if you like him... go for it and with manning, you probably won't need him anyway...

Answer 6

I don't like Muhammad as a starter. The Chicago Offense and QB situation is questionable at best. You might do better with Curtis as a starter, or seeing what is on your waiver wire. The team looks fairly solid overall. I'd say a 7 out of 10

Answer 7

Your team is pretty stacked great starting line up and u have some great depth at the two most imp positions wr and rb i am not a fan of the giants d but a lot of fantasy analysers are expecting great things from them sooooo... Good Luck i think ur team is capable of going all the way

Answer 8

out of 10 people your team kind of sucks. Holt, portis, and manning will be carrying that team. Should of skipped on manning the second round or third and picked up a better RB or WR.

Answer 9

Your bench is pretty bad. Great QB. Portis is good but Bell is OK.a 75% on your RBs. Again a good WR but the rest at that position aren't good. TE is your best position.
Akers is good, but is very injury prone.

Answer 10

Not bad...Addai is a good rookie...he will surprize people bye week 6. You're strong at TE and Def but Holt is you're only gimme at WR
