Is this a really good fantasy team or does it fave the potential to flop?

Question

Here are my starters with backups in parentheses....For TE I will get one off the waivers when the need arises. Tell me what you think I've done right, and what could be improved with this team.

QB--Donovan McNabb (Mike Vick)
RB--Clinton Portis (Mike Anderson)
RB--Mike Bell (Deuce McAllister)
WR--Torry Holt (Rod Smith)
WR--Plaxico Burress
WR--Donald Driver
TE--Antonio Gates (no backup yet)
K--Jay Feely (Shayne Graham)
DEF--Seattle (Tampa Bay)

Answer 1

QB
Vick is, as always questionable, and McNsbb is getting more scarry with age. If you can find a good replacement for Vick take. In most of my leagues the past few years he has ended up on the free agent amrkest by midseason.
Grade B

WR
Holt has two or three good years left in him. Buress and Driver are Okay. Everyone always says "this is the year Plex breaks through" He has so far lived down to most expectations. Driver is Farve's main target but that might not mean as much as it used to in years past.
Grade B

RB
Portis's value has taken a considerable hit this preseason, firsth with the shoulder, now with goal line runner Duckett coming in. He is still a must starter though. Bell should be good as long as he can hold onto the starting spot. Leather face could make me a star back if he wanted to. McAllister and Anderson look good on a bench but I would not want to start them unless I knew that they would be playing the role of feature back.
Grade B-

TE
I like your guy and you plan
Grade A

K & DEF
Both starters and backups look good here too, Should be no worries for either.
Grade A

Overall
Its a good team, not great. As it stands right now you will be hovering above the middle of the pack and nipping at the leaders heels. Nay moves you can make to bring in either a top 8 RB, a top 6 WR, or a top 6 QB will instantly make your teamone of the top 4 or 2 in the league.

Answer 2

My favortie questions of the year. I'll give you a total run down of your team starting with the most important position (RB). Portis was my pick to be the breakout player this year considering his great stats last year and the addition of sold OL to the Redskins. However, the recent shoulder injury has to give you some doubts, but I see him as a solid candidate for a 1500, 8TD year. TJ Duckett may take away a lot of his red zone opps though, so if you're in a league where TD's get you the points, I would try to see if you can get a back who will work a lot in the redzone. If history repeats itself, Mike Bell should gain 1000 yds this year no problem unless the Shannahan goes with the committee, which I doubt. McNabb doesn't have TO, but he does have a healthy back and looks more confident everytime he goes onto the field. His stats rely on the health of Westbrook who really opens up the field for McNabb. You have solid WR (Holt is a no brainer and Burress will have better chemistry with Manning this year). Donald Driver is my sleeper (along with Roy Williams) now that Farve has his worst season behind me and Green seems to be gettin a lot better this offseason. You have a solid TE and K. Seattle's defense is my biggest question. They have their ups and downs, but I just don't trust their running defense. They have a pretty easy schedule, so I wouldn't let em go. But I would put Tampa and even the Bengals over them.

Answer 3

Lose Vick.
Portis and Anderson are either hurt or old.
Mike Bell is unproven ( I picked Tatum, and think he'll play a lot).
Holt and Smith are serviceable, not gamebreakers anymore.
Burress is reliant on Manning who's reliant on an iffy O-Line.
Driver is only as good as Favre, in his last year and likely not caring about his interception to TD ratio.
Gates is a beast, good pick.
Kickers don't matter.
Decent defensive teams.

You're light on the skill positions, especially backups. Other than McNabb and Gates, who are your studs? And even Gates is relying on a rookie to get him the ball (which is why I like my pick of LT at RB because Rivers will be handing off, a lot, until he gets his head right).

Go get some better backups, you'll need them, people get injured, old or just cold.

Answer 4

Good DEF's. more like awesome. Torry Holt is the most underrated reciever in the NFL today. Mcnabb is a question mark, he needs that big go to guy. Vick has Ashley Leile, that'll help alot. Good team!

Answer 5

Its a good team, but it does certaintly have the potential to flop. Portis has the injury, Bell is unproven, Mcnabb no longer has TO, and who knows if Driver will stay healthy. But you do have a legit chance of having an amazing team.

Answer 6

Vick is a terrible fantasy QB. trade him for another player because peopel tend to like him because he's famous. Also I would drop one of your defenses. You can alwayz pick up a defense on the bye week and grab whoever is playing San Fransisco or Buffalo that week. I'd look for anotehr RB maybe a Gore or Barlow if they're available

Answer 7

Not bad... some problems
1. McNabb has no one to throw to
2. Portis's shoulder may be worse than suspected
3. Mike Bell is a rookie

Good though.

Answer 8

i'm a Spurs fan. i admire all participant on the roster, yet i think of Fabricio Oberto could be released. After yet another bout with coronary heart issues, i do no longer think of he can ever make contributions back. Oberto is my boy, nevertheless. BQ: First determination could be Ron Artest, yet i do no longer think of that would realistically take place, so i will say Tayshaun Prince. BQ2: guy, there somewhat are not that many white gamers interior the NBA from u . s . a .. i will circulate with Chris Kaman of David Lee. i might've suggested Scott Pollard yet he's no longer on a roster anymore.

Answer 9

you need another backup WR, and your RB's are iffy..if Portis doesn't play, all you have are backups...I'd dump Vick too, and get someone who THROWS

Answer 10

good team except I would get a better defense
