Contender or Pretender

Postby Bam_19 » Mon Mar 19, 2018 3:07 pm

How am I looking for this upcoming year

12 man league
1pt per 20 yards rushing/receiving, 1pt per 50 passing/TD 6 and 4/PPR 0.5
1QB-1RB-3WR-1TE-Flex-DEF-K

QB - Carr - Mariota
RB - Henry - Carson - McGuire - Powell - J Williams (GB) - J Williams (NO)
WR - K Allen - Arob - Cooks - Gordon - Moncrief - Westbrook - Matthews - Samuel
TE - Ertz
DEF - Rotating
K - Rotating
Picks - 1.05 2.05 3.05 - 4.05 - 5.05

Depending on who lands at 1.05 I think I’m in a good spot.

Any trade ideas?

What should I target?

Definitely not a contender. Your RBs are really rough and your WRs lack any depth or consistency at WR3/4. Are you rebuilding, or trying to at all?

I think with the small starting requirements, you can definitely be a playoff team. You obviously need to upgrade your RB2, but having to only start 1, you might get by with Henry. You have a stud TE and two above average QBs. Your top 3 WRs are very good and Gordon is nice depth. I'd see if you can package Moncrief, Westbrook, and/or Samuel for an upgrade. Jmatt (assuming that's the Matthews in your sig) might be a nice sell depending on where he eventually signs.

Thanks for the constructive criticism and advice.

I actually feel you took the time to look at the league and not just a blanket statement.

It’s an old league and the teams are very balanced no super team or 2 at the top. I mean this team won 5 matchups last year without Gordon/Arob or Henry.

I'd say neither pretender nor contender. I think you're squarely in the middle.

You do have elite options at TE & WR, but it looks like a committee at QB and no RB1. However, this team is young so the arrow is pointing up. I'd hope you get lucky and make the playoffs, but I wouldn't mortgage your future to do so.

I think you’re a playoff contender but right now, probably not a championship contender. If you hit on your draft picks and maybe make some moves, you never know what might happen. You really need either Carr or Mariota to step up.

Go after Aaron Jones, that way you'll likely have the winner of the GB backfield. FYI, he may be suspended. Use that to your advantage.

I would say your a playoff team, Im not sure what @luckynumber13 means by lack of WR3. I would say cooks/gordon has their up & downs but I would take their high ceiling as my WR3 in 12 team leagues. If you only have to start one RB I would look to move Henry & Matthews (Jordan Matthews?) upgrade at RB.

Good WR group. Playoff team, but without a stud RB I think you won't make it far. I would see if you could package Henry and your 1.05 to go after a stud RB like Zeke, Gurley, Bell, Kamara, Johnson. You probably wont get them, but someone might be a believer in Henry. There's a big difference in scoring between a top tier RB and a mid/low RB1. Since you only have to start one, I'd try and make a package to get a stud.

I apologize, I accidentally skipped over Cooks when looking at his roster. The top 3 WRs are quite good.
