You don't have a single good wideout (what's up with all the rookies?!?!?!), Trent Green is hit or miss and if he misses, well we all know about your backup. AT TE you have an unproven rookie and a guy on the downside of his career, and MATT STOVER??? That seals it. That team stinks. I'm not kidding.

JimBob2232 Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Burress is okay, but you dont have a single WR who will even be the #1 guy on his team! (except boldin who will be out for a while) Green should be allright, but by looking at the rest of your team, it appears you stretched to get him in round 3. I like Barlow and Portis...Westbrook is decent depth. TE leaves alot to be desired. I think you are going to be in trouble this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 do you people know how to read...I only start ONE WR....chances are one of those guys will produce.... 20665[/snapback] I think your RBs are fine. Not sure why people are bashing Westbrook and Barlow. These are solid guys who are the featured backs on their teams. But clearly you drafted way too many WRs if you are running the bone. You should have been drafting guys like Julius Jones, Steven Jackson, Tatum Bell etc. in those middle/late round instead of stocking up on rookie WRs. If any of your backs go down (Westbrook is the biggest concern), you'll be in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasoninMT Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I hate to join the chorus here... but you may be in trouble.... Of course I don't know how your draft went, was it live or a list driven draft? T Green is good, not great as a Fantasy QB... C Portis better be the star we think he'll be this year or you'll be in trouble. You'll have decent production out of your TE position. I don't know if I'd run the Wishbone if I were you, even though you have weak recievers, you may be in better shape only using 2 RB with your team... are there any starting RB available on waivers? I also like Wash as a Def. Here's my team.... I picked 8th of 10 players.... we play 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 Flex (WR/RB), 1 K, and 1 Def. QB - P Manning (D Carr & K Warner on Bench) RB - C Portis & T Henry (O Smith on Bench) WR - D Jackson & E Moulds (A Lelie & Lee Evans on Bench) TE - F Jones Flex C Brown (RB Tenn) K - J Brwon D - Carolina As you can tell I have trouble avoiding Bills players... We had a bizarre live draft as we had Culpepper and Moss taken 2nd & 3rd.... and then there was a run on QB's at the end of the 1st & beginning of the 2nd.... (P Manning was my 2nd pick).

Engineer1 Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I hope you take criticism well. Your team is a joke. I hope you didn't have a entry fee of $100. If so, you were the sucker that others brought in just to take their money. My team is: QB: S. McNair, D. Bledsoe, J. Plummer RB: P. Holmes, R. Johnson, C. Brown, R. Dayne WR: M. Harisson, D. Mason, J. Walker, D. Stallworth TE: A. Crumpler, D. Graham K: J.

MDH Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 Damn...tell me this is your first time in a fantasy league.....One legitimate star who by the way is coing to a new conference and team....two VERY unproven backs in Barlow and Westbrook and a bag of inexperience at WR with the exception being Plexi-glass....good luck...your gonna need it...Git er Done! my team I start a 4 wide offense (starters in bold) QB:Steve Mcnair, Brad Johnson, David Carr RB: Priest Holmes, Travis Minor WR: Lovarnous Coles, Santana Moss, Andre Johnson, Donte Stallworth, Marty Booker, Keenan McCardell, Tim Brown TE: Antonio Gates PK: Aaron Elling D: Dallas D LETS GO BUFFALO!!!! 20766[/snapback] No clue what the rules of your league are, but if you are in a "flex" league, where you can start RBs or WRs at 2-3 "flex" positions, you're making a HUGE mistake going with 4 WRs. Sure, at the end of the year WRs will put up similar numbers to RBs, but week in week out they're nowhere near as consistant as RBs...and if you're playing head to head consistancy is the key. A Starting RB is going to see 15+ touches a game...your WR might see 1 catch some weeks. A 4 WR offense, no matter how good your WRs are is the recipe for an up and down season. One week you might put up more points than anybody else all season and the get smacked by the worst team in the league because your 4 WR combined for 7 catches, 120 yards and 1 TD. If given the option ALWAYS go heavy on RBs...well, at least that's the way I see it =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasoninMT Posted September 7, 2004 Share Posted September 7, 2004 I agree totally MDH..... RB are the bread and butter of your fantasy team.... A QB can go nuts one week, but can also cost you another week, and WR are just as bad.... primarilly because there's always 2 WR on the field and often more. plus they are competing for receptions with a TE and backs.... Your starting RB will generally have almost twice the touches and every touch is an opportunity for points. While a WR typically catches the ball for more yards, even the best ones don't get more than 10 chances a game week in and week out (unless your name is Randy and your coach agrees you need the ball).
