WR - Javon Walker
Joey Galloway
Keyshawn Johnson
Antonio Bryant

TE - Chris Cooley
Jeremy Stevens

K - Adam Vinatieri
Josh Brown

D - Pittsburgh
Dallas

Please let me know what you think. I feel I have to many ? at running back.

This is a 12 team league. Both QB's can start since there's a wild card player each week. (ESPN FF). Edge is definitely a ?.

J Stevens and D. Staley were my last two picks. I want to see how Pitt uses Staley (could be a Bettis situation @ goaline. Stevens though injured is my replacment for Cooley in week 8 and is in a contract year.

Answer 1

okay, here's what I think:

QB - well done, except you probably only start one QB in your league, as is the case with most FF leagues. I suggest trading one, i'll tell you why later on.

RB - Edge scares me a little because Arizona has a terrible O-Line. They still have not produced a single 1000 yard rusher. And even though it is the preseason, he's averaging negative yards on a team that likes to pass. Addai is a good lock, he should end up getting the starting job soon. Kevin Jones was also a good pick, this could be his comeback year. Duce Staley is a waste, you need to drop him.

WR - I like Walker and Galloway, but the rest is kinda so-so. I don't like Antonio Bryant at all, and Keyshawn Johnson is the #2 receiver to Steve Smith. You might want to get one more solid WR for your team.

TE - I like Cooley. My question is this: Why do you have Jerramy Stevens. He hurt his leg and is out for 5-6 weeks. Drop him and pick up someone else. My choice: Ben Watson. Against the Redskins, he was Brady's favorite target and had like 100 yards receiving. And since Branch is most likely not coming back, you should pick him up quick.

K and DEF - Perfect, no moves need to be made.

So, here's what I would do: Trade Hasselbeck or Brady, because you are only going to need a back-up for 1 week, when your starter has a bye. No reason to let Brady or Hasselbeck go to waste on your bench. Sine they are both top 5 QBs, most people will likely give up a lot for them. Try to get a RB or WR out of them. Or you could do a package. Like so: Hasselbeck and Addai for a top notch RB. Or do the same for a WR. However, I only advise doing something like that if you are getting one of the best players, not some chump. Again, drop Jerramy Stevens and pick up Ben Watson. Lastly, drop Duce Staley. Pick up one of the following two: Wali Lundy or DeAngelo Williams. Both are the #2 RBs behind the 2 most injury-prone players in the NFL. Houston already said they might even put Lundy as the starter Week 1 since Domanick Davis is injured. Williams, on the other hand, will probably have to wait until the 2nd half of the season, but he will probably turn into something like Larry Johnson last year.

Hope this helps, Good luck

Answer 2

Over all I'd say a C+ your good at the QB spot as well as your D with Pittsburgh . Vinatieri should also have a decent year. However this is were it goes south...your wide receiver core if your in a league that starts 2 or more wr's defiantly needs help. In the tight end position, if Cooley goes down you have to remember right now Stevens is on the DL. An your running backs James needs to stay healthy other wise you send in an unproven Addai who is not having that grate of a camp, a last year injury prone Kevin Jones, and my man Deuce who right now might not even make the team according to a couple of reviews I read.
So with all that, see if you can do a trade or two with that guy in your league that thinks Keyshawn should have never left the Jets......

Answer 3

Oh my god - what a horrible team. OK, lets break it DOWN FOR YOU.

Brady - Will definately finish top 5 QB - Good Choice.

Edge - Not a good choice - why? Because Warner will get hurt, and then Edge will face 8 men on the line as Matt L isn't ready yet.

Addai - Sharing times with Rhodes. Until he is settled in, won't be a factor.

Jones - great talent - horrible support. Will be a huge dissappointment.

Duce - Not going to be goal line carrier. Maybe will go back to Philly to be back up.

WR - Walker - Who is going to throw to this great reciever?
Galloway - Much talent, not a target and not going to get many TD's or yards because of QB.
Same with Keyshawn
Antonia Bryant - sad, probably the best one on your team.

TE - Cooley - I like this pick
Stevens - I pressume this was the last pick?

Vinatieri - Good choice
Brown - Good choice

Pitt D - Will be on the field a lot.....hopefully they will get lots of special team points.

Dallas D - They have a D?


**Drop Staley - Pick up D'Angelo Williams if he is available. Once Foster gets hurt (He's Prone) Williams will take the lead and never look back. And he is probably available in 90% of the leagues as he is being overlooked. You won't see much of him at first, but come end of season - everyone will know this kids name.

Answer 4

Quarterbacks are nice. They are both solid. RB your a little shakey. Edgerrin James is playing in Arizona, the team with the worst Offensive Line. And Arizona loves to pass, but he will do pretty good. Joseph Addai may not be the starter. Kevin Jones is good. Duce Staley dont start. WR are average. Galloway and Walker are very good. Keyshawn will be questionable. Hes not the number one reciever. Steve Smith is the target. Antonio Bryant is decent. TE is good. K is fine. D is good.

Lose Duce Staley.

your team is a B+. its not bad at all.

Answer 5

This is going to sound like a broken record but you need RB help bad. I think your WR's are fine. get rid of Staley and Stevens and i would get rid of Brown. you can easily drop a scrub for a week on the bye for your K. D is fine. I think you should trade one of your QB's for a good RB and pick up another WR or two and another serviceable QB.

Answer 6

i see at best a fourth place finish if you dont beef up you rbs. trade walker and galloway for a prime pick at wr. trade both edge and staley for a prime pick. qbs, te, k keep. dumb dallas d. and these primes I am talking about. Do it now, since the first four weeks are paramount. you will be able to pick up some dark horses like that back up in carolina

Answer 7

Your RB are weak....you should try and trade a QB or WR for one. You have Brady and Hasselbeck? How did you manage that? WR are good enough and Cooley is good, K is good, and Def is good enough. Get another RB....

Answer 8

this team is a 7 out of 10 -- i like the qb's-- the rb's are average besides edge -- you can never have too many rb's -- i would try to package a wr and a rb for a better rb.

Answer 9

Your running back situation lacks quality depth. You need to tell people the rules and how many teams are in your league before anyone can tell you how good you are.

Answer 10

i agree with everybody in here. you should trade for starting rb. you can package a qb/wr for rb/wr to shore your bench up. definitely dump staley.
