The league I am in is a 12 team league... How is my team?

 

[raiderguy]

not bad 5 star but i think you can get a better qb then favre. also I don't think driver will do that good. but other then those 2, IMO not a bad team.

 

[roach23]

I've never played in a IDP league but from an offensive prospective it looks like you have a solid team drafting from the middle of the 1st round. Your shot at a championship is gonna depend on if SA can come close to returning to form or not.

 

[Jetplane]

I took favre as insurance... but i wouldn't bank on him SOLELY to carry your QB position :\ I would venture to put TONY ROMO ahead of him, just my 2 cents.

 

[5starbomb]

I knew Favre was going to be a weak spot on my team, I was the last team to select a QB... Not a lot of teams have a wr like Branch as their 4th wr in my league...I think Favre will give me 3,800 yds, 20 tds, 17 int, I will take that out of the last qb taken, if he struggles here are the Qb's available in my league right now.... Do you guys think any of these guys would be a better option then Favre?



C. Pennington

A. Smith

J. Garcia

J. Cambell

B. Leftwich

 

[roach23]

Nope I'd have taken Favre given those choices. But i'd pick up Leftwhich as a back up. When healthy the dude was showing flashes of being a gunslingger last year. This is a make or break year for him. Probably a good pickup that could pay dividends if you draft him late.

Worst case scenario you just drop him for a different FA pickup.

Yeah thats who I have been thinking of picking up... I am a big Leftwich fan when he can stay on the field and not injured. Would you drop one of these guys on my bench for Leftwich?


adrian peterson (bears)... Benson has been injury prone in his past and hasnt proven to be able to carry a huge workload yet. I think he can
but given those circumstances I would like to handcuff Peterson who has looked good when he gets his chances...

DJ Hackett... Dont want to drop this guy, he has shown some huge upside if he can start opposite Deion Branch. Now that Jackson is gone I think Hackett will be the main Red Zone Target for Hassleback.

 

[roach23]

i wouldn't drop Hackett until I see how he's incorporated into the offense. I dunno if him or Burleson is gonna be the #2 next to Deion Branch on that squad.

Between the 2 I'd drop Peterson.

You didn't draft a 2nd QB?

The league I am in is a 12 team league... How is my team?

Not sure of your backups, but here are my ratings on your starters...

QB: C-

Favre is a decent fantasy starter is INTs don't count heavily.

RB: C+

Alexander is still a top back, and Benson should have a very nice season if he can stay healthy. I'd rather have a backup with a guaranteed role though since Benson is sketchy.

WR: B+

Wayne, Driver, and Ward are all consistent and will put up the numbers. Good depth.

TE: B

Cooley was supposed to be super-active in the Skins' offense last season but was only average, which in fantasy TE terms means he's right below Gates and Gonzalez and the upper echelon. On a side note, Cooley and his girl's dad drank 21 shots apiece on his 21st birthday. I like him for that.

Defense:

Great pick with Peterson. He is staying at MLB and I forgot about putting him on my list of the top IDP. Thanks for the reminder. Ware is very nice, and Sims should be a consistent tackler. Tillman is a very good IDP if you have to start a DB. Not sold on McGee... Graham is a nice kicker as well.

Overall, pretty good team for a 12-teamer. Slightly above average, and if injuries go your way you have a shot. If guys go down, you are in trouble.

We have pretty similar teams.

Good analysis, I agree with almost everything you said... For Mcgee on defense I have to start 2 dbs and in our league we get 1 point per 20 yds return, and 6 pts at 125 return yds, we have a bunch of stuff like that we like high scoring... we also have 300 yds or more passing is a 7pt bonus, 100 yds recieving and 100 yds rushing is a 7pt bonus, 1 pt per reception etc... so I like Mcgee because he starts at cb and is pretty good and is one of the best returners in the NFL... As for Mike Peterson he is a beast and I got him real late because a lot of people forgot about him.. onto my offense I think for being the last team in my league to draft a QB Favre isnt too bad... he will put up the yardage, wont get hurt, and the packers are always throwing the ball, i like my wrs a lot, i think Wayne is going to be a stud, Driver is one of the most targeted recievers year in and year out so he will have another solid season, The Steelers are opening up the passing game and I look for the Steelers to get back on track this year and Ward will be a big part of the passing game, Deion Branch my 4th WR is the #1 wr in a seattle offense that should be pretty explosive, Cooley like you said above average tight end, I think I got decent depth at running back with Alexander who if is back at 100% I dont see why he wont return back to at the very least top 5 fantasy rb, as for Benson I am very big on him this year, he runs HARD downhill and the Bears are a run first offense. So he is going to get a good amount of carries. He will be a top 12 fantasy rb in my opinion.... thanks for your input

 

[5starbomb]

I like your style

thanks man my method is pretty much take the best player available on the board and not go for curtain positions... I try to balance my team out and get solid production everywhere... we will see how things turn out good luck this year

 

[Jetplane]

I dont think Benson and Driver are gonna live up to starter status.

 

[5starbomb]

I dont think Benson and Driver are gonna live up to starter status.

Yeah Driver doesnt talk much so doesnt get much publicity but he will get his 85 catches, 1200 yards and 8 td's. I will definitely take that out of my #2 wr... as for Benson hes the #1 now and the Bears are a run oriented offense. Benson runs hard and I think is good for 1200 yds and 10 tds

I'll give benson 900-1000 at most... TDs, I dn't knw... 1? 50? i have no idea but he's not getting much yardage and unless the Bears can throw this year, he's not getting to the goalline to score.

You have a weird style. McNabb? You think he'll play all 16 games and FULL 16? I'm pulling for him but yo... I dont think he's gonna make it. TO Early huh, y not just get Tony Romo instead of Lefty or McNabb? I want to see Kennison get some balls thrown to him... but the QBs just look ugly.

Nice bro, I love the Mcnabb pick if he stays healthy he puts up sick numbers... i was only 1 pick away from taking him in my draft and he got picked 1 pick in front of me, i was so pissed. So I waited a while and go Favre... T.O. and Steve Smith will be rock solid at wr, im not so sure about your #2 rb though... willie parker is nice Betts and Jordan are both ?'s. Betts could be a stud and will be a pretty good #3 imo but needs Portis off the field to be a #1 or #2 fantasy rb, and Lamont is on the Raiders... Overall pretty good team though

Weird style?

McNabb was the #1 overall QB in fantasy football before tearing his ACL last year. Yes he's been hurt the past 2 seasons, but they're not lingering injuries. They're freak unrelated injuries (a hernia and an ACL tear on a knee that's never had problems before). I follow the Eagles closely and have read just about every training camp report and everyone is saying he was looking sharp and the McNabb of old in camp.

I got TO in the 3rd round. That's a freakin STEAL for the WR that finished #1 overall last year. I only see more of the same, especially with Terry Glenn hurt and his good rapport with Romo.

Romo could be a decent QB but he'll come nowhere close to putting up the #s McNabb does. Leftwhich was my last pick in the draft and just a bye week replacement for McNabb.

Yea my #2 RB is my biggest hole by far. But the RBs ont he board when i took Smith and TO (A.Peterson, Marshawn Lynch, Ahman green) didn't really excite me so I figured I'd go with 2 top WRs to help compensate the points I'm losing at RB2.

Betts will get a shot at least as a 3rd down back. Even more if Portis is out for any time. Lamont is could pan out...who knows. Lendale as well....toss up.
