Do I have ANY chance to compete?

This is the place for team advice - should I make this trade, should I draft that player, etc.

Do I have ANY chance to compete?

Postby AugieFootball50 » Thu Dec 07, 2017 3:14 pm

For team 1 in signature - 2 QB, 2TE. .5 PPR. Heading into playoffs next week as the #2 seed with #1 seed as main competitor:

QB: Tom Brady, Russell Wilson
RB: Todd Gurley, Mark Ingram, Alex Collins
WR: AJ Green, Jarvis Landry, Amari Cooper
TE: Rob Gronkowski, Travis Kelce

Do I have ANY chance? Is it worth it at all to try and upgrade before trade deadline tonight?

Possible additions: LeSean McCoy, Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger

I'd love to win it all, but based on no Luck/Reed and available trade options... I'm not sure how much of an upgrade I could even get over Winston/whatever RB2 I play. I have next two draft class picks both available minus next year's 1st. What do you think? Stand pat or try and deal for McCoy and a QB - most likely giving up Winston or Luck if I go after Rodgers.... probably picks and a dev QB if I go after Brees/Roethlisberger.

The QB and TE gap is large enough that I don't think an aggressive move would make enough difference. I would sit tight, roll with what you have, and come back stronger next year with Luck.

You know very well you can compete with that team. You didn't accidentally get the 2nd seed.

Like every other week, you have a chance, your roster is solid, but you need A+ games from everyone to beat him. Can it happen, of course. It will all come down to the match ups you have. I wouldn't mortgage much of your future for a short term upgrade here. If you can get a good deal than take it, but if now hope for the best. Also with Kamara in the concussion protocol right now that may hurt you even more.

I could be wrong, but the team listed is the number 1 seed, not the OP's whose is in his sig. You're number 2 for a reason, so definitely have a chance, but you do look to be up against it!

Thank you for pointing this out. Upon further review you don’t have a chance. With his QBs and TEs it is all over but the crying. After you get stomped this week you can steer rebuilding.

Always a chance, but you're sitting at about 15% chance in my mind. Don't make any crazy moves because it might not be enough anyways. Sit tight and pray...

Just realized I read it wrong. I thought the team you listed was yours.

Well that team is ridiculously stacked and is likely to run the show for many years to come. Just quit the league and save yourself a lot a stress and heartache. lol (jk)

I don't think it's impossible...the other team has a clear advantage at QB and TE, but I'd say it's about even at RB, and you have a pretty big advantage at WR, especially given the match-ups for this week. I'd say you have a 33% chance of winning this week depending on if 1-2 of your WRs can have blow-up games (hopefully not Antonio Brown because I'm facing him in a league).
