Contender or Pretender?

This is the place for team advice - should I make this trade, should I draft that player, etc.

Contender or Pretender?

Postby Prison_Mike » Tue May 11, 2021 7:08 am

12tm | PPR | SuperFlex - (0.5TEP)
Start: 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 3WRT, 1SF

My team so far:

QB: Dak, Baker, Wentz
RB: Zeke, Sanders, Conner
WR: Jefferson, OBJ, Corey Davis
TE: Fant, Engram
2022 Picks: 1st, 2nd, 2nd, 4th

Would you view this as a contender or pretender in this format?
Curious, as this will dictate how I approach the later rounds.

I think your QBs could help carry you to a few extra wins, but I do not view this team as a contender. If Conner hits would help but I have zero faith in consistency from Beckham.

Solid

RB: Zeke, Sanders, Conner
I'm starting to sour on Sanders. Big question marks here imo, but its the RB position

WR: Jefferson, OBJ, Corey Davis
Jefferson good, Davis Okay, OBJ who knows.

TE: Fant, Engram
Not Kelce, Kittle, or Waller. IF Rodgers goes to Denver you're in a good spot, otherwise average.

Right now you're in pretender category imo, mainly due to uncertainty in your RB and WR positions. But the reality is, who really drafts an amazing team in a good quality league right out the gate? The issue you have is that you have invested in older RBs and WRs, so unless you are looking to immediately blow up and rebuild, or think you got amazing value for Zeke, Sanders, OBJ and Davis and can flip post draft for more, I'd stick to your build and grab some more vet players and turn it into a true contender.
