Contender or Pretender

[UsualSuspects]

Not sure what to make of my team 2 in signature. Took over as an orphan a week ago and have made 5 trades to try to be competitive this year. Is it to soon to go from 2 wins last year to competitive this year?

Don't do IDP so can't speak to that end but as for the rest you look to be at least in the running for the playoffs. RB is a little weak but having the 1.01 & 1.10 could be enough to elevate that position of weakness.

WR is also in need of an upgrade before being considered a likely favorite. Probably could get help for both WR and RB by trading the 1.01 with all the Saquon Mania out there.

You're definitely playoff-caliber. Owning Saquon and DJ means you've got a couple potential horses to lead you to the promised land!

I agree with Lukky, I think you are a playoff contender. I’m not a big fan of Josh Gordon but you will need him to have a big season, imo, because you need depth at WR, especially. You have the team headed in the right direction though.

May have to start a new thread ...

Saquon Barkley PPR ... over/under 500 pts

That seems to be about the value many are placing on the rookie. Immediately turns last place teams into top contenders all by himself.

This league is only .5 PPR so the DJ & Saquon receiving total advantage isn't as pronounced. I believe this team is in the conversation as a playoff team but not likely a favorite. Of course we can't see the rest of the teams rosters so it may well be a top contender. Depth and the ability to survive key injury(s) are problems. Only if the starters are all ironmen do I see this team on top.

Seems Barkley is being counted on for 300+ which I don't think happens his rookie year in this format.

Maybe Keyser Söze can cobble together a lineup to steal away the title but I think it's a year or two away unless he does some serious double dealing by selling out one of his ringleaders. But can they be competitive...sure ,at least we would usually suspect so

Contender...assuming injuries do not pop up as you have very little depth at the offensive skill positions. Your WR2 could probably use an upgrade also. But I do agree with others this is likely a playoff team (but you are one or two injuries away from missing the playoffs). You def seem to be on the right track though!

Depth could use a bit of work, maybe try the 1.10 for a Jones type, but speaking dynasty value my QB1, two of the top 6 RBs, a top 12 WR, a top 24 WR, and two top 5 TEs. Definitely a contender and set up for a couple years

[BigBawseRoss]

id try to package the late 1st and 2 seconds and move up if possible. you need another legit starter at WR. your depth will be an issue but your starting lineup still needs a little help as well

[Goddard]

I think you're getting close. Barkley helps a lot, but I think you're a WR1 away from truly competing.

I'll take the over! Haven't you heard? He's the second coming.

I think you can compete.. I'd look to move the 1.10 for a WR like DT... an older vet who can still put up points. Maybe go after some other veterans like Marvin Jones types as well with some of your 2nds plus other players.

[UsualSuspects]

I think that I am too thin to compete this year. But I have a hard time holding back so we will see. Definitely a WR1, Saquon, a DE1, and some depth away. One team is sitting on 7 of the top 15 receivers so getting a WR1 might prove to be challenging.
