I don't think you are a '16 contender but I like your team. It's young and oozing with talent and upside. FYI, I did not include IDP in my analysis, not my strong suit.

Solely based on the offensive side, I'd say you are around a .500 team. Missing a RB2, WR1 (stud), and a TE. It's a nice group of ~WR2s you can start though. Probably don't need 2 Viking wideouts. Trade Diggs alone or with piece to get a RB or WR upgrade.
16 Team PPR 1 QB - 2 RB - 2 WR - 1 TE - 1 Flex

You basically have 2 true difference makers at this point: Rodgers and David Johnson. And you're HOPING that David Johnson stays that way, and doesn't go the route of CJA or Jeremy Hill. You definitely need another difference maker at RB to be a contender, and that may come in the form of the other DJ on your team, if he ends up catching 80-90 balls. You have fantastic depth at WR, but no guys that will single handedly win you weeks consistently. Maybe try to package 2 or 3 of your best WRs for an Evans or Watkins? Maybe even Alshon. You need more depth at TE and QB, but you have nice pieces there.

IDP-wise, seems like you should have better pieces at all 3 spots, since your rosters are so small. Pretty decent DBs but no difference makers at LB. That could be an issue



BOTTOM LINE: I love a lot of your pieces, especially Rodgers, David Johnson, and your WR depth. But without studs at other spots, I worry that you will be stuck in dynasty purgatory, and end up the 4th or 5th seed every year

Package Diggs with another piece.

In hopes of securing what in return?
