Rate/Bash my Fantasy squad

[Sir BucNasty]

Dude, your team isnt horrible. Dont listen to that guy. Hes an idiot. The only thing I would recommend to you is watching for some WR on the FA wire. Heres a list that you need to be looking out for if they havent been taken already of course(for WRs):

Devin Hester, Kevin Walter, Laurent Robinson, Dwayne Bowe, and for TE, llok at Kevin Boss if hes not gone already. Hope this can help.

Overall i would say a 7.5/10. You have a pretty solid team with a good running game and a very good quarterback

[rymflaherty]

I think the best RB you have is currently on your bench......and the last name IS NOT Taylor

[mackstradamus]

UH because he was in in the same league as me where 6 point Td's reign supreme, a Running Back is king in FF as long as he wont score more than any of the QB's available, especially in a 6 point per all TD format Oh and to let you know, i won last year with two second tier running backs because Jackson was out a lot of time, and i had Lendale White and Deshaun Foster until i traded and got Maurice drew and found Aaron stecker.....to let you know how sucky my RB's were last year, I had Ronnie Brown, Steven Jackson, and Shaun Alexander...uhhhh LOL. All got injured, and i was basically screwed but wideouts were strong (Braylon,T.j. and Roddy) And i won with that team....so to prove your point wrong in another post, just because you have a top tier rb doesnt mean you will get anywhere baring injury or poor play.

Ronnie Brown was the #1 back in Fantasy before he went down and Steven Jackson was Steven Jackson when he came back. As Brown exited, Jackson entered. You always had a top tier running back. So that's a lie by you.

I have seen your comments on other fantasy teams and they are all negative. So I didnt get Peterson or LT, but I drafted at 5!! Peyton Manning performs just the same as an elite RB

I KNOW THE RB IS KING but I got pretty good RBs in rounds 2-4, things dont always work the way you want, so you have to assess your options

Garbage dump of a backfield?? Come on dude!! are you serious, I have 4 reliable options w/ Ricky Williams as a huge sleeper
RB1 Ryan Grant
RB2 Jamal Lewis
Fred Taylor
Chester Taylor
Ricky Williams

the only area I admit to being weak is at WR. And I will address that as needed

Ricky Williams is a "huge sleeper" because he's on a team? He's 31 years old, and let's not forget his amazing cameo last year.

Ryan Grant sucks. Brandon Jackson will steal carries and they'll become split-time in Green Bay by mid-season.

Jamal Lewis isn't a good back, he's behind a great line, and I'll never say it's a bad decision to take him, but having him be your most reliable running back is ugly.

Fred/Chester Taylor, congratulations on getting the back end of split-time roles.

Yes, you picked at #5, that's the travesty. Fill me in...

Already gone? Tomlinson, Peterson, Westbrook, Addai?

Better use of your pick? Jackson, Lynch, Barber III, Portis.

Quoting myself:
The point is the difference between a first round QB and a fifth round is generally about 30 points. The difference between a first round RB or WR and a fifth round RB or WR...do you really need me to break this down?

Personally not a big fan of your team right now. It does have good potential though:

QB1 P. Manning - I would not have taken him in the first round. There are other good quarterbacks later such as big ben, brees, etc. Peyton is good but I do not expect a huge year out of him with his injury and with Addai coming into his own. Addai had more red zone touches then any other player last year. Meaning that he may take alot of peytons potential td's. Also peytons former number one option (harrison) has had his own issues as I'm sure you know. Petyon should still be solid but I would not have burned a number one pick one him. Overall not a terrible pick, but I do feel that you could have done better.

RB1 Ryan Grant- This one is a huge question mark with me. If grant can play as well as he did last year then he will be great. However with Rodgers at QB I just do not see him as the same type of weapon that he was last year. I expect teams will focus on stopping grant and let rodgers make the mistakes that most first year QB starters are prone to making. Once again, not a bad pick by any means. I just dont think it was a great one.

RB2 Jamal Lewis- I do however love this pick. People seem to forget just how good Lewis is when healthy. With the Browns newly found awesome passing game, Lewis should be freed up alot. When healthy he is an outstanding fantasy player. The only concern here is that when they get close to the end zone we could see the opposite of the indy situation as the Browns with Edwards (whom I Believe had the 2nd most targets in the redzone out of wr's) and Winslow as huge threats to catch TD's when they get close. This could mean less TD's for Jamal. I would still expect a good number from him though, making this a great pick.

WR1 Housh- In my opinion he is overrated. I like him as a reciever and he will get a large number of targets and will pick up yards and receptions for you, however he is not great for touchdowns. Still, you can't go wrong with having this guy on your fantasy team. Good Pick

WR2 Reggie Williams- Ehhh, not great. Not bad. Solid pick up.

WR3 Nate Burleson- personally do not like or trust this guy. He could be a suprise, but I'd limit your expectations here and try to get another WR to replace him.

TE Dallas Clark- Peyton's Tight End. Need I say more?

K Mason Crosby- Irrelevant. To me defenses and kickers are expendable. I switch mine every week based on who they are playing. Since there are always a ton available, I think that is the best thing to do. It worked out Very Very well for me doing that last year.

D/ST Indianapolis-Read above

Bench
Fred Taylor- Great player. Gives you a deep bench. I wish you would have gotten MJD though as taylor seems to be more of a handcuff to MJD now. This player is undoubtedly a great one to have though.

Chester Taylor- If AP gets hurt then this is a great pick up. If not then I would not expect anything out of him. The vikings will live and die with AP this year, much as the Chargers used to with LT before they had an established passing game.

Ricky Williams- Big time sleeper. I have him on all of my teams. I fully expect Ronnie Brown to struggle which could mean big things for Williams who has been reportedly working extremly hard for this season and is driven to succeed. He needs to find a way to pay back the Dolphins and a great season would do that. Nice pick.

David Garrard- Solid pick. he won't throw many interceptions, but at the same time he will not throw many TD's. Good back up though in case Peyton struggles with his knee. I like the pick here.

Overall I'd give you about a B. I do not think this is a great fantasy team, but I do believe that it is a good one. You will not contend for a top spot in your playoffs but you will be a playoff contender. I agree with Mack that you should have grabbed a Premier running back, but at the same time you did pretty well with all things considered. It would have been awesome to get either Addai or Brady as opposed to Manning as I am sure one of the two was there since the top three picks had to be LT, AP, and Westbrook. Both would have suited you better then Manning. All things considered, you did a solid job drafting, but you will definitely need some help from the roto wire in order to have a shot. Good Luck!
