It's a head-to-head league, standard scoring (except for there's only 4 points awarded for a QB throwing TD). I feel like I'm really weak at WR and should try to trade one of my defenses or QB's for a better WR. Thoughts?

Answer 1

Your concerns about your "weak" receiver core aren't entirely true: Harrison and Moss are top notch starters... i'll talk about your WR's later.

QB- Bulger and Bledsoe are both solid fantasy starters. Bledsoe will be top 30 in fantasy points again this year, although Bulger's numbers will definitely be slashed due to the departure of Martz and new reliance on the run. Still a great backup though!

RB- Uh oh, I didn't see Reggie Bush as your starter. I like Barber on account of the fact he makes up most of the giants offense even though they have a lot of talent. However, he won't have as many TD's or YD's as last year: he wants to retire after this year, and jacobs is a beast in the redzone. I haven't bought into the Reggie Bush craze...he's extremely talented, however, you can't forget McCallister is the starter on the Saints. Right now, i wouldn't touch either back fantasy-wise. But if deuce goes down, i'd pounce on Bush.
Julian Jones was a bust for me last year... and that was without the emergance of marion barber. I would trade jones and a backup for westbrook, a play making starter out in philly. If you can't get that, i'd rather have McGahee than Jones...

WR- Harrison + Moss are stellar. Muhammad is a bust but should be an OK backup. Your lucky you have stallworth...his stock is relatively high on the YAHOO! Rankings so maybe you can get a good deal for him... just a hint: reggie brown on the Eagles will be a great backup or solid 3rd WR...

TE- Heap. Monster year. #2 TE in the league with TD's and YD's this year. Winslow is a nice pick at backup! I actually really like him there. Although he's risky, he has a huge upside: the only guy (besides joe) who'll be catching passes for the browns.

K- Man, did you read my mind or what? Tynes will be a top 10 kicker this year. Why? He was top 80 in fantasy points last year. This year, Herm Edwards comes to the Chiefs with his conservative style. That means more "play it safe" drives and hit a 40+ FG. Also, I looked into Tynes training camp and he's been practicing longer kicks...and looked good doing them. Nice pick!

Def- hmmm. Interesting. I don't really like the steelers defense except for polamalu, but they are a solid fantasy defense... i guess. The Patriots are a reach for a defense though. They've lost so many players and personel. I'm gonna say to try trading them for the Philadelphia eagles Defense. Jim Johnson is a mastermind, and they finally have an all around probowl defense: 3/4 in the secondary, Trotter in the middle, and 3/4 on the D-Line. (not including their 2 first round picks on the D line)

Answer 2

QB- Very solid. Bledsoe will do well this year with TO (i hope) but Bulger should be your starter no question. Despite the INTs he's a top 7 QB while i put Bledsoe somewhere around 10-12.

RB- Your RB position is alright, but not great considering u want as good running backs as possible because QBs r only gettin 4 points per TD. I think i'd put JJ at #2 for now until Reggie really proves him self in the Regular Season.

WR- I don't know what ur thinking ur WR are by far your strongest position. u have 2 top 7 WRs in Harrison and Moss. Stallworth is a decent backup and Williamson may break out this year. A lot of people are high on Stallworth so I would try to send Stallworth and Winslow for a more solid WR such as Joey Galloway or Eddie Kennison.

TE- Very good as long as Heap stays healthy he'll be a Pro Bowler because Mcnair knows how to find a TE on the field.

PK- good

DST- definatly start the Steelers. They're a top 5 defense while i put NE at 10th or 11th

Answer 3

You did well. Bulger will probably end up being your starting QB, and if he stays healthy, he'll be a good one. Whoever proves better, you'll have a very good backup QB. You obviously have a very strong #1 RB in Barber. I believe Bush will emerge early on as the unquestioned starter in NO and will perform very well, making your team stronger than most at the #2 RB spot. In this case, Jones serves well as a backup RB. Your starting WRs actually aren't very weak at all. Harrison is a fine #1, Moss may never again be as good as his Vikings days but he still makes for a top notch #2, and Stallworth will likely emerge as NO's top target this year, making him a steal at #3. Depth at WR is a concern, but if you have a WR/TE flex spot, you could see Winsolw emerging to perform well enough to provide some insurance in a backup role. If you can actually find someone who will trade a viable WR for a defense, then I'd pull the trigger, but I wouldn't trade one of your QBs. Your kicker is solid. Pittsburgh gives you a very fine D; don't expect NE to do much for you as an alternative.

Unless you believe the hype that Bush will be slowly "eased" into his role as #1 RB, your only real weakness is WR depth, and I wouldn't lose any sleep over that.

Answer 4

Good team, a little bit weak at QB, Bulger is injury prone and Bledsoe won't match last years totals. You top two RBs are great but JJ is likely to lose time to Barber, WRs are kick-***, Moss will have a huge turnaround year and Indianapolis will have to throw more without EJ, so that only helps Harrison, Stallworth finally will come through on his potential now that he has a good QB. Heap will improve on his stats from prior years with McNair(who loves to throw to his TE)

Answer 5

Your team is pretty good. You are not weak at WR you have Marvin Harrison is arguably the best fantasy WR there is and Randy Moss has the potential to go for 1,500 yds and 15 TD's. You are weak at the RB. Tiki Barber is gonna have another really good year, but Reggie Bush is gonna have to split carries with Deuce Mcallister. Julius Jones will be solid if he can stay healthy. All and All you have a solid team, but I would try to make a trade to get an upgrade at the RB position.

8.4/10

Answer 6

I wouldn't change your def for a WR - you have two great ones. I would just change out Williamson and go for a rookie, if there are any good ones left. Take a look. Other than that, keep what you have - looks like a pretty good team that will win you a majority of games. I would use Bulger as your QB and go with Harrison and Moss as your WRs.

Answer 7

QBs, TEs, K, and DEFs are good.

RBs are a bit suspect. Barber is a bonifide fantasy RB, but everybody else is a toss up. Bush is ranked 3rd on the Saints depth chart and the other two just dont get the ball enough.

As for your concern at WR, my suggestion is to package Moss and Muhammed for another better WR. Moss is a fantasy risk as he never gets the ball. Trade him away while you still can.

Answer 8

How many teams are in your league? If this is a 10 team league you should win it going away. Having Moss and Harrison makes you strong at reciever, I'd worry more about getting some depth at RB.

Answer 9

Wow you have a nice team don't mess with it. WR is good enough. QB is mediocre. Def is awesome

Answer 10

pretty good. Awesome Defenses with steelers and pats. Im hoping for career numbers with Bledsoe to Owens.
