Am I playoff bound in 2018?

I have an owner in one of my leagues that was a bottom feeder for his first 8 or so seasons with the occassional .500 type year mixed in. He pretty much never traded, rarely made pickups and just built thru the drafts each season. He finally got to the champion ship game in back to back seasons and won one title. Not the way I'd do it and I wouldn't want that kind of patience but he got there.

I'm certainly hoping my team can be relevant within the decade! I definitely trade and do it quite a bit but I find myself focused more on buying young players that I like and project favorably long term rather than focusing on the box score scouting. It may be that this team just doesn't come together in the way I project, but if it does a year or two from now I think it won't take too much tinkering to make it legit competitive and not just a .500 squad.

Too many question marks to really know.. Your RBs lack depth, big time.. After Guice, I don't trust any of your backs.

Yeah my RB situation is atrocious but I actually do expect Mixon to be quite good. I'm working on the depth but it's basically the last thing I'm trying to put in place (which may mean I'm accepting that I'm not going to be that good this season). RB is a position I've been admittedly slow playing, prob a subconscious (or maybe totally intentional) strategy I've implemented because I don't expect to contend quite yet.

I like your WR depth, but I don't like Fuller as one of your starters. I think if you package fuller with another good WR you could possibly get another good starter.

I'd be open to packaging Fuller but I actually disagree here. Fuller seems like a really awesome upside play as a WR5 to me. TBD though.

If Guice and Mixon stay healthy, you'll be in great shape..

Yeah but I know I need more depth at that position. 100% agreed.

You definitely have a shot at the playoffs, but not sure you're quite ready to compete just yet. If I were you, I'd look to package some of those young WRs with upside for someone more proven.
