1. This was an autopick draft.
2. Thoughts on Culpepper's performance this season?
3. Who is my best trade bait?

Answer 1

Heres my advice:

My opinion is that Culpepper is unproven without Randy Moss, and he was awful last year before the injury. Who knows how he will do this year after the injury. That being said you likely burned up a 3rd round pick to get him. So "IF" you trade him be sure you get a good starter quality RB. You may want to keep him though because if he is back to his old self he will put up top 3 QB numbers!

Your WRs are great and deep too! Mi. Clayton could be a great player or he may have a disappointing year, he has signs of hope though. I Love D-Jack this year. Torry Holt will be solid! You are fine here, may want to drop an under performing WR before Crumplers Bye week to get a decent backup TE.

RB you have 2 great backs here assuming no sophmore jinx for Cadillac! You need more depth here! The RB is the most important position in fantasy football! So seriously think about one of those QBs for a good RB for a trade.

TE you have one of the best and with finnernan out for the season that is one less WR for vick to look at. You should have a backup though.

K- I bet you got him late in the draft huh? Me too! I couldn't believe how late Graham was slipping in the draft. You will not regret this pick!!!!

Def You should be ok here, not sold on Indy yet though, but I love your back-up D!

You will be OK, but remember you have no back-up TE, K, or RB. This is going to be your achillies heel, because you will likely have to fish out of the Free Agent market for a few weeks and this often means a loss.

Overall good draft! You have a solid team and a little room to deal with other teams, so Good Luck to you!

Oh yah, the guy who said his team could kick your teams butt! I got money on your team bro you would win this game 7 times out of 10! His RBs are weak!

Answer 2

Indianapolis' defense will not be good enough to start on a fantasy team. Look to see if Suggs or Bell are available off waivers. If so pick them up. See if you can trade for the NYG defense, because they will probably have the number 2 defense this year right behind the bears. Close 3rd will be the Ravens. If possible, you might want to trade for Chris Chambers and/or Roy Williams. These two will be in the top 5 recievers this year. As far as trade bait, Alexander is coming off a record breaking season, so anyone would want him.

Answer 3

Your starting RB's are awesome. I don't know how you got 2 Top 10 RB's, especially with one of them being as top 4 RB, but you should be prime to win your league, barring injury. It might be a good idea to get another RB for depth in case one of your guys gets injured. It's hard to get RB's after the draft though. Greg Jones of Jacksonville might have a chance to start if Fred Taylor gets injured as is typical. Plus Greg Jones is the starting fullback and their short yeardage back(ALA Jerome Bettis). He might be available for pickup. You'll have to also pick up a TE and K before the Bye weeks, so someone will ahve to be dropped at that time. You can bench whichever defense is doing worst, my guess would be Washington. Good Luck on the season.

Answer 4

There is no point in having 3 QBs when you only start 1, drop Rivers or Green or try to trade them. Your RBs are great and so are your WRs. Your team looks solid all around.

Answer 5

Honestly, I think my yahoo fantasy team could kick your butt.
I did auto pick not live draft and I got:
QB - B.Roethlisberger, J. Dehlomme
RB - W. Dunn, R. Bush, C. Brown, J. Addai for Indy, they have no "Edge" anymore, so this guy could be a sleeper.
WR - T. Owens, H. Ward, Rod Smith, E, Moulds
TE - J. Shockey
K - N. Rackers
DEF - Baltimore, Minnesota

II would think that looking at your team, at this pre-season point, your weakest link is your QB's. Be ready to dump one and get a more reliable pick or maybe a sleeper pick if they're not performing. QB's get a lot of points and you don't want to risk having weak ones.
Overall, not too bad, not as good as mine though! LOL

Answer 6

I think you might be surprised that
Rivers and Clayton become your starters.
Your RB are GREAT. I haven't heard anything about Ahman Green
yet.
I think your team will be better in a yardage/TD league than a straight TD league.
Good luck!

Answer 7

package A. Green and Rivers for a RB

Answer 8

Trade Culpepper, start Rivers he was doing freat, sadly against my team, the GB PACKERS

Answer 9

I would start rivers over culpepper. Other than that you have a good team.

Answer 10

I would drop Rivers and look to add more RB depth.
