This is an NFL Fantasy team. And this is my fantasy football team, if that's what you are asking.

Hey tell me if this is a good trade. Barber, Green, and Vikings DST for Warner, Portis, and the Chiefs DST.

Thanks for all the advice. I offered Smith for the Giants DST. Once again, thank you for all the advice.

Answer 1

STARTERS ARE FINE JUST IMPROVE THE BENCH

Answer 2

QB: Ben Roethlisberger and Trent Green

Good. I am not sure if Roethlisberger will be good to go for the season, but if he is, start him over Green. Green's team is all about the running game.

Grade: B

RB: Tiki Barber and Steven Jackson and Chester Taylor

Good. Barber is very good and Steven Jackson should have a breakout year. Taylor is a good bench player.

Grade: A-

WR: Anquan Boldin, Chris Chambers, Matt Jones, and Rod Smith.

Very Good. Boldin, Chambers are extremely capable of things, and Jones and Smith are some good backups.

Grade: A

TE: Randy McMichael and Vernon Davis

Pretty Good. McMichael is good and Davis has yet to prove himself, but he is good.

Grade: B+

K: Lawrence Tynes

Most K are the same, so this is good.

Grade: B+

DST: Vikings and Lions

This is pretty bad. Vikings are Ok and the Lions suck. This needs help.

Grade: C+

OVERALL GRADE: A-

This team should finish in the upper part of a league. Good picks!

SUGGESTIONS:

See if you can get a better D.

Answer 3

I bet you could get better defenses on the waiver wire, and say no to the trade. Trent Green is a legitamate fantasy option, and youyr stacked at RB and WR. I'm personally not a fan of Randy mcMichaels, and I'd seek a low risk trade to bring in a sleeper at th eposition, as t onot ruin what you have at your strongest positions. Vernon Davis is iffy but then again all rookies are sleepers. I'd trade someone like Rod Smith for a better defense, becasue rarely are the leftovers very good. If three is a Carolina or a Tampa Bay defense that will sit on someones bench most weeks, make an offer for it. other wise, its pretty good.



ps: If an unclaimed kicker has a hot start pick him up because Tynes is only average for a kicker.

Answer 4

WRs great. RBs very good. QB is good. DST is terrible.
Your trade proposal is pointless. Just because KC got Ty Law doesn't mean their defense is good all of a sudden.
Your Defense man, 2 words, it's bad. Drop Lions DST and just get the best availbe player cuz Lions DST is terrible. Defense isn't a big factor so your team is retty good. But if you want to upgrade it, try trading R. Smith for Colts or Giants DST.
PS The first four guys who answered are INSANE!!!!
The first 3 just don't know anything about Fantasy Football and the 4th is just plain out stupid. Just trading T. Barber for even P. Manning is not that good for you, but T. Green, a WR(say C. Chambers), AND T. Barber is worth P. Manning, T. Brady, C. Palmer, AND M. Bulger.
So don't do any of the trades exept for maybe R. Smith for a better DST like Giants or Colts.

Answer 5

Good job on the receivers, you might never get anything out of Rod Smith though. Your RB set has depth and Stephen Jackson may even surpass Tiki Barber on yards from scrimmageIF the Rams become a running team AND he gets the starting job- which he should. Keep a close eye on Vernon Davis, you might find a need to start him over McMicheals. Dont be to quick to start Roethlesberger over Green. We wont know what that head injury did to him until he is in an actual season game. But at the same time dont drop him from your roster either because again, we dont know if this head injury will affect his game. Vikings D has never been scary so you might wanna look for an undrafted team in your league or trade off one of those recievers for a top 12 D.
Overall grade: C+
PS- the first 3 guys that answered you are idiots that clearly dont know anything about football, too bad thier not in my league!!!

Answer 6

Trade McMichael! You don't need two TE's. In Davis's bye week pick up a good starter on the bench. There are starting TE's on the bench. M. Pollard, E. Kinney or J. Wiggins. Also, Klopfenstein (rookie in StL.) is a starter this year. He was a high 2nd round draft pick, guaranteed starter and he should have a year like Cooley's rookie year, definetly enough to get you through one week and he will probably remain on the FA list...
Trade McMichael for another solid RB. Frankly I'd take a look at Deuce McCallister. People don't want him but he will get goal line carries. He could be a steal.

Answer 7

keep steven jackson. Get a better QB besides Trent Green. Get a better DST. So overall grade is B+

Answer 8

Nice team, although you need a better D. Vikings might not even be in top 10. QB isn't bad, but could be worse. For your trade, the only way I would do it is replace vikings with lions and try to get another rb in it.

Answer 9

what are there 6 teams in this league? you should drop both of thos defenses and get good ones. The chiefs,chargers and bills are usually available. Maybee dallas or washington in a 6 person league. NO DONT TRADE BARBER. PORTIS IS GUNNA BREAK HIS LEG

Answer 10

OK. Great Receivers. AWFUL Defense and special teams. you gotta propose a trade for a better defense, try kansas city. they will be a huge upgrade but they are a bigtime sleeper. also, trade one of your receivers to a team that is weak at the WR position for that team's best QB. try packaging a WR, green, and tiki barber for a better QB(try culpeper e manning or k warner for example) another RB (rudi johnson, lamont jordan, ronnie brown will be a HUGE sleeper) and another receiver. good luck! email me how it turns out.

Answer 11

wow. great team... advise would ber to trade trent green because of his age and the cheifs lack of recievers... matt jones is a sleeper way to draft him... regarding rod smith, try to trade him for someone like lee evans because smith is old but is stil considered to be a good ffb WR so you could get someone like evans who weill be a sleeper for him... also make sure you have 2 backup RBs becase RBs are the key to victory in ffb... besides that very well drafted team
