Took over a team to play my first ever dynasty season so I am learning as I go - Am I deluded in thinking this team could contend next year or is this a multi year rebuild? My team has underperformed this year and I have had some injuries as has everyone of course. I am 5th place in points with the most points against with a 2-7 record.
10 team 0.5ppr. 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE
Note - in my league the top 6 make the playoffs and the bottom 4 play off for the first pick, so I can't totally tank.
QB - Newton, Goff, Stafford
RB - Henry, Ekeler, Montgomery, Akers, Duke Johnson, Ingram, Hasty, D.Evans, McNichols, B.Love,
WR - Beckham, Chark, Parker, Reagor, Aiyuk, Mooney, Slayton, Cephus, Peoples Jones, Marcus Johnson, P.Campbell, Guyton, M.Callaway, Boykin
TE - Kittle, Engram, Harrison Bryant, Njoku, Sample,
Picks - Two 1st Rounders, two 2nd rounders
Trades so far - Fournette for Ingram and a second (before season)
-Sent JuJu and a third for Slayton, Melvin Gordon and an early/mid first. Then flipped Gordon for Akers.
- Waller and Keelan Cole for Kittle (after the injury)
Thoughts - QB - Quite weak. The Dak owner is interested in trading him but he doesn't want a QB back. He has interest in Akers and Chark (but I think I need to keep him). Is Akers for Dak a good trade for me if I can get it done? I will be left with 4 QBs then. Alternative would be to try and get one of the top QBs in the draft. Maybe Fields with a second round pick?
At RB - The big issue is whether to keep Henry. If I am really looking towards 2022 then he doesn't fit. I've put him out there but only received underwhelming offers so far so maybe am stuck with him. I like Montgomery for his consistency, but perhaps his upside isn't good enough in a 10 team league. Akers I am really on the fence whether to go forward with him. I would hope to get Etienne or Harris.
WR - A good young group but no studs. OBJ was injured at around the time I planned to try and trade him. I expect I can get at least one or two WRs in the draft from the deep class. I've put Parker on the tradeblock.
TE - set for next season. Will drop one or two of these at some point. Hoping still for the Njoku trade. I may try to get one or the top TEs in the draft to set up to move on from Kittle in the future.
Potential trades. Barkley is a nogo. Tried hard to get Sutton but I couldn't make it happen. I am trying to snag Penny from Seattle. Any other players I should try and look at that might fit with my team? Do I need to trade Henry at all costs. Is Montgomery worth holding?

Re: Need honest feedback on my 2-7 team
I would hold Aiyuk, Reagor and Kittle but making everyone else available for the right price. Your team is not bad necessarily, but I think it's a bit rough long term. Henry has a handful of elite years left, but his value will start to drop due to RB age and miles. I would look to sell him at his peak and move Ekeler after a good healthy week. Wait for the right deals and dont rush anything or give players away. Worse comes to worse, you can move players early next year.
Re: Need honest feedback on my 2-7 team
2022 is the year Id be eying. Try selling anyone that wont help you then. Load you on your WRs and picks.

>well on the plus side you still would get a top 4 pick. but yeah I hear ya.
QB - Newton, Goff, Stafford
I guess you can keep 3, I have a hard time starting Newton. Goff and stafford would start based on matchup. Overall perfectly fine group to have in 10 team.
RB - Henry, Ekeler, Montgomery, Akers, Duke Johnson, Ingram, Hasty, D.Evans, McNichols, B.Love,
Again anohter perfectly fine group. Henry's value in a 0.5 ppr is certainly higher than 1ppr. And you will at some point get Ekler back. Monty, while underwhelming, does seem to put up a decent floor, and Akers i think will be fine next year. Duke should get a little more work next week (I think) assuming DJ is out. I wouldn't mind getting some more talent here, but its again a perfectly fine group.
WR - Beckham, Chark, Parker, Reagor, Aiyuk, Mooney, Slayton, Cephus, Peoples Jones, Marcus Johnson, P.Campbell, Guyton, M.Callaway, Boykin
ah I think i see the problem. Yup definitely need some WR investment. I think Chark will be fine, especially if Jax brings in a new QB next year. Reagor and Aiyuk will probably be fine too. Mooney and Slayton are nice bench options to have. I think I'd look to sell Parker now, especially with the preston williams injury. I dont think he helps your team much.
TE - Kittle, Engram, Harrison Bryant, Njoku, Sample,
You have kittle you're set. Engram has been coming on strong. Good group.
Picks - Two 1st Rounders, two 2nd rounders
Great pieces
Overall:
You know, I think you've been a little unlucky this year. I don't think you necessarily would have won everything if kittle, OBJ and Ekeler remained healthy, but I don't think you'd be sitting at 2-7 either. And you have some nice promising players in Akers, Aiyuk, and Reagor. I think certainly being 10th in record and 5th in poitns scored, really shows you that you have a fringe playoff team that is underperforming, and given the league setup that actually isn't so bad and infact benefits you. I'm guessing that the top 4 teams for scoring are all playoff teams right now? That means that come toilet bowl time, you may have the team with the most points scored.
Like i said above, i think the only move i look to make is moving Parker to a competing team for their (late) first, or package him with one of your seconds (preferably the later one) to a fringe playoff team for their 1st (mid-late). Otherwise I think i'm fine keeping him to help win the toilet bowl.

Re: Need honest feedback on my 2-7 team
Thanks for the responses. Especially abloom. I will bear those in mind and be open to trades but not push it and undervalue my players. I am still sad I didn't get to trade OBJ before he got hurt. I guess I was a bit unlucky, but also probably not quite good enough. The Toilet Bowl and probably picking Etienne will be a decent consolation if I can manage it!
