Hey man I'm not sure how IDP is scored since I've never played it but your offensive players (no offense) are horrible. You have no backs, no QBs, and you have 1 WR prospect, 1 TE prospect and one good TE. That's not nearly enough to compete. If I were you I'd try and trade Alex Smith and Martellus Bennett and try to get anything for them. Bennett should net you a second rounder at the very least. As for Smith, get ANYTHING you can for him. Also try and sell Allen Robinson for a mid first round pick. Good luck man, but you are far, far, away from competing.

Yeah, I've got to agree I'm afraid, I don't really see much in the way of offensive talent on that roster and with 2PPR, regardless of IDP scoring rules, I can't see how how you'd be competitive this year without better options at RB and WR.

You say it's 32 team - I guess the roster looks better if you're only playing with one set of players rather than duplicates, but even then it still look pretty bleak.

I'd be looking to sell anyone you can for picks, create as much cap space as possible so you can challenge in free agency, but I think you're a few years away from being competitive. Sorry about that, but good luck.
