What do you think of my fantasy football team?!!?

Question

I had the ninth (out of twelve) overall pick in teh draft, which took place yesterday.

I think I did incredibly well. But what do you guys think?


Here's my team:

_______________________________

QB:
Matt Leinart
Phillip Rivers

RB:
Cedric Benson
Joseph Addai
Adrian Peterson (Vikings)

WR:
Marvin Harrison
Santonio Holmes
Reggie Wayne

TE:
Marcus Pollard
Jeremy Shockey

K:
Jason Hanson
Robbie Gould

Defense and Special Teams:
DST, Chargers
DST, 49ers

_______________________________




It's a 12 team, NFL.com league, where we can start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE, and 1 DST.

I think I have a great team considering what pick I had. The only problem I'm going to have to address, is that all three of my WR's have their bye week on week 6.

But I should be able to solve that by playing the wavier wire before week 6, and pick up a few WR's.



Ok, all you fantasy football gurus.

Rate and comment (comments/suggestions/advice) on my team!

Answer 1

Rivers will probably have a good year, don't bank on Leinart,

Your backs are weak, but there is potential for some good weeks.

Your receivers are your strength and week 6 will give you major problems.

You have good TE's that will continue to give you solid performances.

You need to drop a kicker and make a space on your roster. It is easy to just grab free agent kickers for bye-weeks, they aren't as important as good back-ups.

The Chargers are a great defense and the Niners will provide good back-up on bye weeks or when the Chargers go up against high-powered offenses.

As a whole, it was a good draft. Try using one of your TE as leverage to get a decent RB and drop a kicker to get a WR that can at least play week 6. You could even think about trading one of your WR and a TE to get a prime running back like LJ, Gore, or Jackson. A back like that could bring a lot to your squad.

Answer 2

QB - Drew Brees RB - Adrian Peterson RB - Stephen Jackson WR - Larry Fitzgerald TE - Tony Gonzalez Defense - New York Giants Bench player - Andre Johnson Bench player - Tom Brady

Answer 3

The bye week of the Colts will hurt you, I'd lose a kicker probably Jason Hanson, because Robbie Gould will score a lot of field goals, and pick-up another receiver.

Answer 4

It looks like you did very well with your picks. There aren't any major gaps. I'll give you a 9.

Answer 5

Looks good on paper....

Answer 6
