True. All in all, there's probably some other teams posted on here that need more work than this one. It seems fairly sound.

lol, every team needs work!! no such thing as the perfect team (except tony's keeper that was posted a few days ago!!!)

the problem with this team isn't the team itself, its the reason for it being posted - to handcuff one of his SIX running backs in an 8 team league, lol

[theproudestmonkey]

No keeper type situation in this league, it's all redraft style.

proudestmonkey - with Portis' uncertain injury status, I likely wouldn't be able to get anything for him that has higher upside then Portis himself. If Portis stays relatively healthy all year he's a 1000 yard back no doubt.

1000 yard backs are a dime a dozen these days....there were 22 last year, and thats purely rushing yds (no rec yards).

Wow...me and proudestmonkey bumped heads a couple of days ago on a fantasy issue...but man I couldn't agree with him more here! First, as an aside, I have never seen a league that allows 6 RBs...wow. My league just raised our max to 5 after several years at 4. Like monkey said, there's no need for 6 backs whatsoever. I think 5 is stretching it, but we can only start 2.
But the receiving core, while it is nice, needs some backup. What if one of your receivers gets hurt? Then you're screwed...you've got 3 backup RBs and 1 WR. You could probably find some rookie happy guy that will trade Peterson or Lynch for a top tier WR, or at least a good #2...then your WRs would be set and you would have another spot to add Betts (who I think will have a pretty good year even if Portis does stay healthy).

Plus I also agree w/sivjosh...You would be offering WAY too much for Palmer. McNabb is a great fantasy QB, yes, as long as he stays healthy. But you have a capable backup in Leinart (he'll have a good year).

So you would be giving up a good QB and a RB with an upside for a good QB and a RB with an upside, while your WRs are still in need.
OR
You could give up one of your 3 backup RBs, get a good WR to even out your bench, get the RB you want to handcuff Portis, and have the same starters but much more balance on the team as a whole.

Amen theproudestmonkey?
