Is There Anything I Should Do To Fix This Paper Tiger?

[Payton34]

Team in sig below... 1 QB league, 1/2 pt PPR, 6 pt all TDs.

So I went 5-9 and missed the playoffs this year. I look at my team and like what I see, just figure I need to be patient. Got the talent, just wait on it.

Any suggestions on what changes to make if any? Any players I should be targeting?

I think some of this comes down to a tough year/down year for some of your assets and next year is a new year. Mahomes should be better, Robinson could make a jump, Jacobs could be in a better situation and healthy, Hall will be a full year healthy. Your RB core looks solid moving forward and I would not be concerned there at all. Your WR core is also in a good place but Moore gives me a pause. We know how much Moore fluctuates without the right QB and if Fields is not in Chicago...who knows what that means for Moore. Moore was great with Fields but awful without him. I would shop Moore in case you can move high. Kincaid is a nice piece for 2024 but is a wait and see if he really hits, but outside of elite TE's...you are in a fine spot and I would not focus here at all until we see how Kincaid progresses. You could very well already have your elite TE. I would look to move Tagovailoa if you can find the right deal. Given the scoring, QBs should have nice value and it never hurts to shop. Overall, I think you are in a good spot and had some tough luck/production from assets that should have been better. Shop to see what options are out there, but I would be fine going into next season as is and think your team will be better. I would try to add solid known production for your 1sts if the right returns are out there too. You have a potential contender on paper, if you can help that by moving 1sts, I would. Take the bust rate out.

adding on to this...Captain Obvious tells me to tell you, not to waste 2 roster spots on 2 kickers and 2 DSTs.

draft and set your lineup. looks good to me. idk how that went 5-9 and has 3 firsts lol

You have an unreal team that just had a down years. I would sit tight and hope that everyone develops.

While both your TEs are nice dynasty TEs, if the bills don't move on from Knox, Kincaid might not be that startable. It might be a good idea to see if you can get a cheap vet TE to start.

Interesting format where a team like THAT could go 5-9. Wild!

I would argue there is enough variability in DSTs that you'd want to roster 2 of them in this format. I think I agree with the sentiment about kickers, but again, maybe the format makes us think twice about this? Like there is some diminishing returns in that say your 8th receiver is unlikely to make much of a difference in the final score...but if your ONE kicker has a bad game, that could maybe cost you a game?

Edit: But please don't drop any of the 8 WRs in signature OP...I love all of those WRs! That's a great and fun team overall.

Only 7 in his starting lineup (excluding K and D) will increase the variance. This is why I like to play in start 10 leagues.

I would suggest selling JSN, Downs, and Wilson. You’ll never start them and they’re overvalued imo.

Was thinking this too.

I'd try to move up to the 1.01 or 1.02 by combining picks. This is 1QB non-TEP so there will be a drop-off after the 1.02 or 1.03 in this draft.

If that didn't work, I'd try to package the WRs that DD says together and/or with picks to move up to more elite WRs.

With such a small weekly line-up, studs rule.

Thanks for all replies! For clarification, roster requirements are that I need to have 2 kickers and 2 Ds rostered at all times…

OK that settles that! Studs rule with only 7 position players starting.
