Am I Competitive? What Next?

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

Am I Competitive? What Next?

Postby nosferatu » Mon May 21, 2018 1:46 pm

Team B in signature. I took it over at the beginning of last year. Immediately jumped into complete rebuild mode, expecting a 2-3 year turnaround time. After a ton of wheeling and dealing, I'm feeling like my team is well ahead of where I thought I would be right now. My RBs still need some work, but I'm pretty set everywhere else. We only need to start 2 RBs, I can fill out the flex spots with my WRs.

Is my roster good enough to be competitive in a 12 man league this year? There are no super power teams that I see in our league. Looking for honesty about my current roster and how far out I am from competing. Should I be looking to use my WR depth to acquire another RB now, or wait and see how I'm looking a few weeks into the season? Thanks

What I started with:

QBs: Brady
RBs: Mixon, McKinnon, Anderson, Stewart, Booker, Gore, Richard, Burkhead, Jones,
WRs: Cooper, Shepard, Meredith, Pryor, Doctson, White, Golladay, Hogan, Mitchell
TEs: Eifert, Bennett, Fiedorowicz, James
A - 12tm PPR: QB, SFLX, 3RB, 3WR, TE, FLX

QBs: Burrow, Lawrence, Fields, Darnold, Wilson, Rypien
RBs: Dillon, Nwangwu, junk
WRs: Chark, Reagor, Chase, Smith, Bateman, Mooney, Rodgers, Waddle, Preston, Lazard
TEs: Herndon, Freiermuth, Sternberger
2022: 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4

B - 12tm PPR: QB, 2RB, 3WR, TE, 2FLX (SFLX in 2022)

QBs: Mahomes, Ryan, Eason
RBs: Cook, Jones, Gordon, Robinson, Gibson, Mattison, Harris, Jackson, Hasty, Michel
WRs: Adams, Nuk, Golladay, Boyd, Preston, Shepard, Gage, Harry
TEs: Henry, Ebron, Hurst, Graham
2021: 1.11, 3.11, 4.11 2022: 1, 2, 3, 4

barring injury your RB's look great, Burkhead will pick up any slack due to a michel injury and I think Aaron Jones will bethe starter for the Packers. I like your squad, not a huge fan of cooks and would rather have a different receiver in that price range but thats just personal preference. If there isn't any clear cut superpowers in your league I don't see why you wouldn't be competing this year.

Yes, and you have enough 2019 picks to make up for depth in case of injuries to any starters.

So seems like I should stay the course without doing anything drastic. Maybe pickup a budget RB for some depth. Thanks for the feedback.

Depends on how well your rookie RBs do. They're obviously highly rated, but still unproven. I can see you being very competitive if they play well off the bat, and at worst, you should at least be a playoff team.

Yea, I'm not really counting on them producing yet. I was hoping to pickup a third RB in the draft this year, but the top 8 picks were all RBs and I didn't like the prices to trade into another one. Traded for Tyreek and Cooks instead (wasn't a fan of the wr talent in the draft this year). I've been shopping Shepard to try to pickup someone like Drake or Collins without any luck. Everyone in my league seems very down on Shepard. Might check in with the Ajayi owner next.
