Rate My Fantasy Football Team?

Question

I had the 8th pick in a 10-team league with no moves as of yet.

Here is my team:

QB- V. Young, M. Hasselbeck
WR- T. Holt, L. Fitzgerald, D. Driver, M. Clayton(BAL), B. Marshall
RB- B. Westbrook, R. Bush, D. Williams, L. Jordan, D. Foster
TE- A. Crumpler
K- J. Brown
DEF- Carolina

One of the Carolina RBs should pan out and L. Jordan should be a good value as a RB2 or RB3. I was thinking of trading D. Driver or one of my backup RBs for a R. Williams or A. Johnson to have an elite core of WRs or a better RB2

Any suggestions or advice on how to improve my team? For
10 points, I need an in-depth answer by rating my team on a scale of 1-10 and rate it on each position if you can please.

Answer 1

keep donald driver hes going to have quite a good season. but if u do try to trade anyone trade d foster hes never been a great back in the nfl

but i like your picks

young will keep getting better
hassellbeck will bounce back
holt will lead the league in either yards or catches
fitzgerald will have a awesome year considering that they throw the ball alot in airzona
d driver is a bust canadiate but keep him he is favres favorite target
clayton will take pressure off mason and have a nice year

b marshall im not sure of his capability
u do got iffy running backs bush and westbrook are good but im worried on what production ud get from the other 3

crumpler is a safe pick especially when hes the only atlanta target thats good
and i like the rest of the team

overall i give it about a 8 but if your running backs do great then its even better

Answer 2

Let's see, I'd give a 6 out of ten. Nothing genius here, but no mistakes either. If you are in a league with a scoring system that favors double-threat RBs with bonuses for catches, or higher yardage bonuses for receiving yards, I'll change that to an 8 of 10.

QB--they suck, but you don't need an upgrade. If you don't have Bulger, Brady, Palmer, or Manning, you are in the same boat as everyone else. Keep an eye on the waiver wire--there may be some weeks you want to add and start Jason Campbell, that Smith guy from San Fran, or some other undrafted, bottom of the barrel QB who has a great matchup. And who knows, maybe Young can beat Madden?

RBs--you had to take the handcuffs in Carolina, which hurt your depth a little bit, but your backs are solid. If you only start two running backs a week, you can definitely use one of these guys as bait for a trade. (I'd try to steal a top-teir WR like Smith, 85, Wayne, or Harrison for Bush, but I'd wait until week 3 or 4 to give an owner a chance to get frustrated with a slow start first. I'd also make it a multi-player trade (get an RB back and give him a receiver as well) so that he doesn't feel like he gave away the heart of his team and got nothing back).

WR--they are fine considering your stable of running backs. If you are able to trade some depth at RB for a WR upgrade, that's a good idea. I don't recommend counting on trading Driver. You can make an offer, but I find he is undervalued in every league I've played on. He gets tons of fantasy points every year, but no one believes it. This is the first year he hasn't fallen to me in the draft ridiculously late. I don't think you'll get what he's worth out of a trade. Keep an eye on R. Curry, M. Jones, and some of those other guys who were drafted late or undrafted, but could come on strong later in the season.

TE--you are covered, even if he plays for Atlanta. I hope you didn't overpay for him based on last year's performance. That said, struggling QBs like throwing to tight ends, and Alge has talent, so you should be all right.

K, DEF--don't trade, watch the waiver wire. These guys are so random, half the time the third best kicker in the league goes undrafted. And with defenses, watch for the next Dante Hall, and play the matchups using drop/add as needed.

Answer 3

8 you need to keep the receivers you have you are solid at the positon and you shouldn't need any RB's with Westbrook and Bush. I like how you have a pocket passer to backup a scrambler like Vince Young. Maybe even trade Jordan for a WR like Mike Furrey to solidify the WR position.

Answer 4

You have good depth at every position. I would scan the waiver wires during the season to do any tweaking, especially with your D (on the bye week and beyond). If Young takes a step back, the QB spot will be very shaky. 8.5/10.

Answer 5

8- dump driver... i've had him the last two years and dropped him to get someone else... he's good and great for the pack but doesn't have great stats

Answer 6

I think it a nine maybe a a different kicker
