Ahh.....How can I improve this underchieving team???

Question

I am willing to offer some Bold trades to make this team better. I've been blown out twice now with what i thought was a competitve team!

QB- Tom Brady, Drew Brees.... jus picked up Grossman
RB- Steven Jackson, Cadillac Williams and D Foster
WR- Larry Fitzgerald, Joe Horn, A. Toomer
TE- Crumpler, McMicheals
K- Akers
Def- Cinci, Carolina

we start 1 QB 2-RB 2- WR 1- TE,DEF,K
Any suggestions would be cool

Answer 1

You're actually okay. I wouldn't bother too much with changes...it's only week three. I'm 0-2 in two leagues as well and the worst thing you can do is panic and start dropping guys you should keep.

Answer 2

Your QB situation is pretty bland, perhaps Steve McNair or Chad Pennington might keep their numbers up. Trent Green should be an easy pick up right now and he throws for thousands of yards and started consistently every year so don't be to worried about his ability to play because of one incident.

Of course the money is in the RB's. Steven Jackson is not a bad guy to start at all, but Cadillac was flash in the pan last year and I don't think you'll get much out of him. Ya need an RB but that's ok since there look like there are a few to have this year. You probably can't do anything to get LT for any number of players on your team. But Larry Johnson Shaun Alexander and Edgerin James might be available at a high price after two boring games. Lower price pick ups that have done well include Denver's Bell duo, Ahman Green has had yardage but no TD's, Warrick Dunn has great numbers on yards and TD's so far, Jamal Lewis looks to be a primary carrier in a more effective offense but the Ravens just don't run for TD's that often even with Mc Nair, Frank Gore looked great again today and might just be sitting there undrafted right now if you're brave enough to start a San Fran RB, and Westbrook looked good in a very play happy Eagles offense.

WR- Larry is a great WR on a still tempremental team. I think he's a keeper unless you need him to set up a great trade. Joe Horn had a better game today after being called out by his coach after only 35 yards against a bad Browns pass Defense. If you can only start one WR (which is very unusual) I think you're ok here but know that there are options out there. Donald Driver has had yards for two weeks and added a touchdown today and put up great #'s as affordable WR's go. Of course Randy Moss is proabably going to be easier to get now but there's good reason for that so unless it helps you elsewhere don't set up that trade.

Not much you can do about TE's or K's in most leagues since they're picked clean by drafts end but it won't matter much. Maybe Philly's D if they keep blitzing like crazy but you're doing ok in that cattagory too.

Answer 3

Find a way to trade/drop Brees or Brady for Dehlomme. He is a great solid QB to get you through your season.

Remember in fantasy football, it is running backs, running backs, and oh ya, running backs!! Steven Jackson looks like he will be the anchor for your RB. Find a sleeper. For example, Chester Taylor is a great sleeper. If you can drop/trade foster, and pick up taylor. (He had 113 yards rushing today, and he has that left side to run through.)
Get those 2 spots filled in and you'll be fine.

Answer 4

trade brees/brady. start grossman. pick up a good fantasy rb

Answer 5

I, being from cincinnati, would suggest not going with the cinci defense.
