RE: The QB situation... is Rivers enough back-up for Hasselback? WHo should I start?

Answer 1

9 out of 10

Answer 2

Overall you have a good team. LT, Chad Johnson and Marvin are all standout performers. Cedric Benson should bet the starting nod in Chicago and their defense should be near the top of the league. QB is the one weaker spot on your team. Both Hasselbeck and Rivers are solid and can put up some good numbers but neither is spectacular. I would guess that there are not any better QB options left on waivers so you would be looking at a trade to improve. The problem is unless you are going to get Manning, Brees or Brady, which is going to cost you some major players, you will not be able to improve dramatically over the guys that you have. i would probably keep both of those guys and play the matchups each week.

Answer 3

Your running backs are pretty solid with LT alone. Benson is kinda questionable, but he should rush for around 1,000 yards this season since Grossman can't play QB. Taylor is an ok backup but may end up sitting out a lot because of Maurice Jones Drew. RB grade A-, should be lower but LT gets you that A.

Good receiving lineup with Johnson and Harrison who always have big weeks. Evans is kind of week to week, but overall he is solid. Muhammad is kind of weak and has done nothing like he did in Carolina, but he is an average backup. (B+)

I think your biggest weakness is QB. Hasselbeck had an off year last season so it is up in the as to how he will do. Rivers is a good young QB, but he has LT who takes most of the TD's and even throws some TD's. He will put up decent numbers but because of the run game and the lack of big time receivers he will not produce big numbers like Peyton or Brady. (B-)

On D you should be great with Chicago. The D probably wont be as good as it has been, but they still get a lot of sacks and punt returns from Hester. SF is an ok reserve D, and should be alright for the one week you will really need them. (B+)

Overall your team is solid. I might try to get a better 3rd/4th receiver if Muhammad is not doing good or if Evans is below average. Stick with Hasselbeck and Rivers unless someone offers big for them. Maybe shop around Benson and Taylor to see if someone will give a nice trade for them that can improve your backup situation or lower WR. Final grade... B+

Answer 4

First off I'm going to give your team a solid 9.

Rather than getting a better QB. I would look to improve on my RB status we all know LT is going to be LT. But Cedric Benson has a chance to be a top RB. No guarantees. If he stays healthy and explosive your team is all set look for double digits in TDs from Benson.

I would start with Hasselbeck right now but if he struggles for the first two weeks of the season, you should replace him with Rivers.Another great idea is getting a better QB like a manning for rivers and hasselbeck.

Answer 5

Honestly, Rollin' Rivers is better than the Bald Seagull...I'd lose SF & one TE - you're gonna need some wiggle room to replace both your K & DEF on bye week as they both come from the city that starts with a "C" ends in an "O" and has "hicag" in the middle...

LJ Smith is one of my favorite TEs, but he's a little brittle - Clark should put up good #s with Peyton at the other end of his string...maybe you could package Hasselbeck & Smith for a team that is weaker at TE & try to get a QB you're more comfortable with (not that Hasselbeck isn't that guy...)

Your WRs are more than just fine - your top three are all #1s and your backups are solid #3s...

Well, what I really wanted to say before I sidetracked is that Rivers is a fantastic QB to have...

JdC.

Answer 6

Great team. The only suggestion I have isto try to replace Matt Jones. I don't trust the Jags QB situation, and players like Brandon Jones(Ten #1 WR), DJ Hackett, and Anthony Gonzalez may all be available. Those are just bye-week fill-ins because your top 3 WR's are great. Also, I would drop San Fran D because you could scoure the waivers for a D replacement on Chicago's bye-week. Try to add more depth at RB. Brandon Jackson of GB should be available as will Jerious Norwood. Both are expected to have breakout campaigns.

Answer 7

Good team. Recievers are excellent. LT's great but your RB's lack depth. I don't see a clear #2 RB. Defense is great. Tight ends are fantastic. The big problem is your QB. Rivers is a good back-up but I don't have much faith in Hasselback as a starter.

Answer 8

It all depends on how your league is set up. How many you are allowed to start at each position and that kind of stuff. It's pretty damn solid though. Might want to improve your backup RBs, but other than that.

Answer 9

im impressed, the only improvement i would think would be a higher rated qb, theres mixed feelings about hasselbeck.

Answer 10

you need to trade for a better QB.
then take matt jones and trade him for a sleeper like vincent jackson
