Does this team have a chance?

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

Does this team have a chance?

Postby joeday » Wed May 23, 2018 8:09 am

12 team, PPR league. 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1FLEX, 1TE, 1K, 1D/ST

QB - Tom Brady | Patrick Mahomes
RB - LeSean McCoy | Derrick Henry | Lamar Miller | (Bunch of Crap)
WR - AJ Green | Tyreek Hill | Golden Tate | Demaryius Thomas | Devin Funchess | (Bunch of Crap)
TE - Greg Olsen | Delanie Walker | Jonnu Smith
D/ST - Baltimore Ravens
K - Stephen Gostkowski
2018 Picks - 1 | 4 | 5

I've consistently made the playoffs since the league started in 2011 and won the 'ship in 2015 but I mortgaged my future to have that success. I've been making trades this off season to get some talented younger players but also stay in the playoff hunt.

My consolidated trades are:
GIVE - Trey Burton | Chargers D/ST | 1.8 | 2.8 | 2019 2
GET - Derrick Henry | Tyreek Hill | Devin Funchess | Jonnu Smith | 2019 4, 5

How did I do on my deals and how does my team look?

Looks like a contender to me especially with the picks you have. Also that trade should never be allowed in a league complete robbery

Pretty sure that was the net result of multiple trades - a combined total given/received.

As to the team itself, it looks competitive in the short term a 12-team, but you'll want more quality youth to sustain some success.

You should be able to make the dance, especially in a 12 team. You did great on the trades as well

Seems like a solid contender, though RB depth might be a concern if McCoy and/or Henry under perform.

Does it have a chance to what?

Make the playoffs? Absolutely. You have solid players at all spots.

To win the 'ship? Not likely. Who don't have players who are difference-makers anywhere nor do you have any position where you simply dominate.

Sorry, but my best guess is that you're a playoff contending team but not even close to a championship team. I think that you're likely playing for 3rd.

That trade was an utter steal for you. You've got a legit shot to win with a bit of luck -- I expect Green + DT to bounce back, and despite people being so down on McCoy I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up a top 5 RB.

That said, you're also a few injuries from being knocked out (as are all teams). If that happens, I'd be looking to sell off three guys mentioned above.

Wow you made a huge profit on those trades... that being said you are a strong contender depending upon the performance of your RBs. If Henry takes that next step and becomes a consistent contributor and Shady doesn't regress due to age and/or the depletion of his line and supporting cast then you will be very good, if they struggle you will probably be middle of the pack.

Two different things. Having the 2nd-best group is not the same as having a position where you dominate.

I would argue if your league is balanced that is usually the case.
