0-3 With this team?? Help?

Question

Well they say Patience is a virtue, but I am really losing mine with this team. Is it as bad as the record would suggest? It seems like everyone is just having some player dominate the week they play me. Can you Think of any Bold trades I could make?

QB-- Tom Brady + Rex Grossman
WR-- Fitzgerald, Toomer, Holt, Horn
RB-- Steven Jackson, W Dunn, Cadillac, De Williams
TE-- Crumpler, De Clark
K-- Akers
Def-- Carolina, Cinci

Any and all suggestions are appreciated

Answer 1

drop a TE and pick up Morris of Seattle...he's quality and starting for 2-3 weeks while Alexander is hurt. If he's not available pick up Drew of Jacksonville. Alexander is hurt and Taylor can get hurt at any time. So the backups are going to be pivotal.

I'd also try to trade (dump) Cadillac and Williams for a solid bottom tier #1 RB. neither of those two are going to cut it.

Bottom line is you've got solid players but none are going to go off...sometimes that and the schedule kills you.

Answer 2

Only Amani Toomer is having a season worth mentioning on your team. That's the reason. Fitz is going to get more and more open with his team's much improved running game.

Dunn, lots of yards, no TD's. Holt, Horn, starting SOOO slow. De Williams, -3 total rushing yards! Cadillac, bust this season, almost got it going versus Carolina, but with Simms out now, he'll be heavily focused on.

The reason your team is 0-3 is because their isn't any superstars on it.

Start Brady over overrated Grossman.
Fitz, Toomer, Holt
Jackson, Dunn
Crumpler
Get a new kicker, though. Ryan Longwell is availbale in over 50% of Yahoo! leagues.
Carolina, stick with Carolina.

I would shop Toomer while he's hot, as well as Horn, for a TD scoring RB or maybe you can sneak a top 5 qb off a team needing WRs.

Answer 3

I think your team is fine, but I might be jaded because I have Brady, Dunn, Holt & Horn and by the way I'm 0-2 and about to go 0-3.

I would bench Brady & play Grossman. If you saw the Patriots Offense last night you gotta be thinking that they have major problems.

Holt is bound to bust out and Dunn is worth something i f you're in a yardage league.

I'd try to trade one of your Rams to get a little more variety on offense for when Bulger gets hurt. You might also want to see what you can get for Cadillac, as I'm thinking his stock might actually rise with Simms being out because he should get plenty of touches (I'm assuming he can actually do something with a few of those extra touches).

Answer 4

Your team is pretty solid if you ask me.
Not sure who is still available in your league, so i can't make an add suggestion. Maybe trade off DeAngelo Williams for a Chad Pennington. (Brady I'd probably bench or trade.) DeAngelo got 4 carries last week for -1 yard.

If you can trade Horn for a solid DEF like Chicago, that might help.

It might be that the owners you are playing have just been bad matchups for you. Whatever players you look to add or trade for, it would be worth examining which defenses they will be playing in the coming weeks. That's one factor (among many) in predicting their performance.

By the way, two seasons ago, I started 0-5 and ended up winnning the whole thing, including a cash prize, so stick with it. Good luck.

Answer 5

I bet u could trade Brady and Holt in a 2 for 1 for a better rb.... maybe someone like R Bush or even Chester taylor cuz they will put up more pts as the year goes on. I would b startin grossman, fitz holt, dunn sjack, crump, cinci

Answer 6

You're solid at WR. Holt and Fitz are top 5 if not 3 this year. Your RBs are pretty solid too. If Cadillac gets it in gear, you'll start racking the Ws up.

Your QBs are average, and Grossman is going to be facing a tough sked.

Play the waiver wire. If you make a trade now, you're going to get hosed.

Answer 7

@BIGJOE at first in assessment to Vick Ben become in no way arrested no longer to show convicted. there become adequate data against Vick and 0 data against Ben, somewhat NO DNA! @ Buffalo Mad undergo and vast Joe. every person who thinks the Steelers are actually not the excellent 3-0 are Morons! seem on the what the 1st 2 communities they have crushed in thier different 2 video games. All 3 of the communities Pittsburgh has defeated have in easy terms gained loss and that is to the Steelers. Do you somewhat think of Chicago might have held Chris Johnson to 34 yds or crushed Tenn or Atlanta and not making use of a beginning QB?

Answer 8

Trade Cadillac and Brady.

Try to get a good QB (Palmer, E. Manning) and (or) decent RB (R Brown, F Gore, W Parker). Don't worry about your WR's they're fine and who cares about TE, K and Def.

Good Luck

Answer 9

ur qbs are good but u gotta get rid of cadillac , also brady has an easier schedule later on , u need to find better te's but other than that wait it out

Answer 10

About the only thing you could do is to try and trade Grossman and Crumpler, for someone. Really, your team is good...underperforming, but good.
