FBG 2014 "How did I do" Thread (1 Viewer)

Posted this as its own thread in the 'Assistant Coach forum,' before I even noticed this forum existed, so I'll repost here.

Just drafted my FBG Players Championship team (12 teams, PPR for RB/WR, 1.5 PPR for TEs, 0.05 pass yds per point. QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE, 2 FLEX, D, K).

Don't love my team. Neither does the FBG rate my team app. Missed early run on WRs. Draft is from the #7 slot.

QB - Jay Cutler (11)

QB - Johnny Manziel (15)

I was the last to take a starting QB, and I got Cutler, who I think will have a big year. I think Manziel has high upside if he starts, and if not, I'll go for Geno/Bradford/Manuel/Locker or someone else from FA as a backup.

RB - Eddie Lacy (1)

RB - Demarco Murray (2)

RB - C.J. Spiller (3)

RB - Jeremy Hill (10)

RB - Ka'Deem Carey (14)

RB - Andre Williams (19)

Went RB-RB-RB at the start. In retrospect, I really regret not taking A.J. Green over Demarco Murray, but I love Murray's upside, especially in PPR. However, I think Lacy and Murray will be very productive as long as they're on the field, and Spiller always has upside. The other 3 are all one injury away from having lots of value, too.

WR - Michael Floyd (4)

WR - Kendall Wright (5)

WR - Emmanuel Sanders (6)

WR - Eric Decker (7)

WR - Rueben Randle (8)

WR - Kelvin Benjamin (13)

WR - Kenny Britt (17)

WR - Josh Gordon (20)

Went 5 straight WRs in the middle of the draft, with a couple steady guys and a bunch more with a lot of upside. Gordon hasn't been suspended yet, and when he is, I'll drop him for a kicker.

TE - Ladarius Green (9)

TE - Travis Kelce (12)

TE - Demetrius Harris (19)

Ugly in July, but I figure grabbing 3 high-upside tight ends and hoping one breaks out is a better strategy than reaching for a mediocre tight end.

DEF - Jets (18)

Play the Raiders week 1. Will be a very good real life defense. Fantasy matchups are tough after week 1 though.

K - None (will pick up later)

Overall it's ok. RB's are obviously the meat of this team. Those WR's are all #3's on good fantasy teams IMO. They do have upside tho. Do not like your TE's at all. Green is a #2 at best. Is this your 1st time playing this? Because TE's are extremely valuable in this format. Also u didnt take a kicker?! im assuming u didnt realize there is NO waiver wire before week 1. You just lost out on some Pts. Just hope u dont lose by 7 pts or less in week 1. Cutler I like as a top 10 qb. Overall C+ with potential.

I have your team ranked much higher.. Those WR's will be fine and your RB's are great!!!!!! You might need help at TE though if Gates has another productive year.. Hopefully you don't screw yourself week 1 going without a kicker...

Overall I will give it a solid B with a chance of bieng much better if TE works out for you...

Good Luck

 
This squad was like 3 picks away from being a monster:

RB - Eddie Lacy (1)

RB - Demarco Murray (2) - AJ Green. Pretty crazy he dropped to 2.6, I would have done a self high-five, then clicked his name.

RB - C.J. Spiller (3)

WR - Michael Floyd (4)

WR - Kendall Wright (5) - RB3. You would have had Spiller in the fold as your RB2, more then adequate. There are solid RB options here as well. And u still have Green/Floyd at the top of your WR core

WR - Emmanuel Sanders (6)

WR - Eric Decker (7)

WR - Rueben Randle (8) TE1. I know its only 1 round jump but there had to be the last of the TE1's in this rd, ie Ertz/Clay/Rudolph

TE - Ladarius Green (9) - Still could have went Green here to be the 2nd TE on your roster

Those 3 changes really would have vaulted this squad in my opinion. But hey, u live and learn. Next draft also, pick a K. Good luck

Team 1

QB - P Manning (3)

RB - E Lacy (1), G Bernard (2), C Johnson (6), J Starks (14)

WR - V Jackson (4), E Sanders (7), T Williams (8), K Stills (9), G Jennings (12), M Wheaton (13), S Smith (16), B LaFell (17), D Adams (20)

TE - D Pitta (5), E Ebron (11), O Daniels (15)

K - D Bailey (18)

D - Sea (10), KC (19)

Team 2

QB - C Newton (11), R Tannehill (19)

RB - R Mathews (4), S Jackson (7), MJD (8), D Freeman (9), D McFadden (12), D Brown (13)

WR - D Thomas (1), A Brown (2), P Garcon (3), D Jackson (6), T Austin (10), M Wheaton (14), O Beckham Jr (16)

TE - G Olsen (5), T Kelce (15), T Wright (17)

K - P Dawson (18)

D - Phi (20)
I would go team 1 here. More balanced overall and the RB's are worlds better then team 2. And Peyton puts that team over the 2nd easily.

Team 2, I'd be scared to have Matthews as my lead back to be honest. I view him as a flex option on a quality team. I realize those WR's are awesome but outside of that core, I don't love the backs/TE's are mediocre and Cam is a low-end QB1 in my eyes. Not to beat the proverbial 'dead horse', I just don't see Olsen in the 5th as good value. Is he that much better then a Charles Clay who u can get 4-5 rds later? From what ive seen so far, a lot of owners are overpaying for Greg Olsen. To justify a 5th rd price tag, he definitely needs to outperform his avg over the last 2 yrs, 71 rec, 800+ and 5-6 td's. Clay posted nearly identical #'s with about 50 less yds receiving and can be had in rounds 8, 9 or later even. Clay is the value here IMO.

Really strong squad here. Love those backs, RG3 im really high on and Witten/Ertz is a really solid TE duo. You can easily flex Ellington/Ertz here and be happy about that. If I had to nitpick, I don't love the WR's after Crabtree. Wallace/Maclin/Nicks are all WR3's in my opinion. Crab I love but he's probably more of a WR2. They all can produce don't get me wrong, but I'd be starting Ertz over all of them except Crab.

Overall, B+. If u hit on Ertz, then this squad has major potential

I want to know what your A is becuase value fell at every single pick, I wouldn't be able to get this team ever again for sure...

I love that WR core.Your team that you posted, what would you grade that team then??? Just interested is all... Everyone has players ranked differently so opinions change regularly and injury by injury during camp...

I prefer to avoid rb-rb-rb starts at all costs but this is the rare scenario where I wouldn't, Gio should just never be falling that far....Love Ertz too...I like helu to be a solid ppr fill-in despite the negative reports I've read

Which team of mine are u referring to? the 1st or 2nd?

And u love that WR core? Wallace in a PPR is 'ok'. Maybe you're high on Tannenhill this yr but Wallace has never been a high volume catch guy. If Tannenhill/OLine isn't terrible, his stock will go up. Maclin hasn't played football in nearly 2 yrs, so he's a question mark in my eyes. With Ertz/Cooper/McCoy/Matthews, is he really going to produce WR2 #'s this yr? I think he and Wallace are WR3's this yr. I see Philly spreading the ball around a ton and as i said Wallace's production is too dependent on a shaky QB/O-line. No one really stands out to me of this group but overall, its a decent WR core, I def do not love it though like u do. I'm a tough grader i guess.

And if you're referring to my 1st team, i don't think this squad is better. (assuming Gronk is healthy/good, big assumption at the moment i know)

Grade them both I suppose.... Why not..

Yeah I see things different in that WR core.. I think you will too at seasons end but I could be wrong for sure... I have been plenty of times before...

I had all intentions of not starting RB/RB/RB but couldn't pass on Gio like you explained. Then in the 3rd all the WRs that I like where gone. The ones left on the board I had all ranked equal to Crabtree. So at that point why not grab another upside stud RB... Ertz slipped way down in this one. I have seen him go in 4th round before and I got him in middle of 9th so I was happy to snag him there...

We will see at years end how this one racks up.

 
Team 1:

QB: Cutler (11), Wilson (12)

RB: Bush (3), Sankey (4), Tate (7), Freeman (10), Sims (14) , Stepfan Taylor (17)

WR: Demaryius (1), Crabtree (5), D-Jax (6), Decker (8), Benjamin (15)

TE: Gronk (2), Ebron (9), Allen (13), Austin S-Jenkins (18)

D - NYG (16)

K - Crosby (19), Gould (20)

I think this is a A-/B+ overall. Again, all predicated on Gronk. If Gronk is even just 'decent', i still give it a B+. If he's the Gronk of old, this is a special unit. If Gronk is hurt/not playing/bad, still have so much firepower I'd give it a B-

Team 2

QB: RG3 (7), Dalton (13)

RB: Jennings (3), Sankey (5), Woodhead (8), Freeman (9), Mason (11), James White (17)

WR: AJ Green (1), DJax (6), Matthews (10), Marvin Jones (12), Beckham (14), Robert Woods (16)

TE: Gronk (2), Witten (4), Finley (15)

D: NYG (19)

K: Prater (18), Gould (20)

Def a risky fantasy team here. I'd give this a C+ with potential. If one of those rb's of Freeman/Mason/White pan out, then i think im in good shape. Again, Gronk is the X-Factor. I'm higher on Jennings then most, if u see the Jennings thread, you will see that. Of Matthews/Jones/Beckham, i figure 1 will be a decent WR3 for me...Definitely need some 'IF's" to pan out for me here but its as boom/bust squad as u will find.

We have very different rankings... Your first isn't even close to the one I posted in my eyes, not even remotely.. That is the great thing about fantasy football though... You would have a very slight edge at WR but my team would have a gigantic edge at RB, not even close IMO. Then I still have my team ranked higher in TE and QB...

Hmmmm I have seen you give very marginal grades to teams that I feel are much better than your first one here.. It just depends what value you put on players...

We will have to revisit this page at years end I guess...

I would rate your first team a B- I think honestly with upside IF Gronk can be healthy and you survive those RBs...

 
This is why I love this game.... Seeing how everyone ranks players differently and then watching how it all plays out in the end... Very good stuff.. Wish you all the best though Gildz with your teams...

Once injuries start hitting next week alot of opinions on these teams will change greatly.. Then after week 1 and other players bust out we will all say WHY THE HELL DIDN'T I DRAFT HIM MORE!!!!!

A very slight edge at WR? What the.... I have Demaryius Thomas then my #2 is your #1 lol. Add to that my 3 and 4 are better then your 2 and 3 haha. Or at the very least in the same discussion. So the difference is having Demaryius Thomas and not having Demaryius Thomas. How is that a slight edge, come on now. Its a considerable edge IMO.

I also wouldn't give RG3 the definite edge over Cutler this year. Potentially yes, but again that's just a toss up in my eyes , Cutler could do big things this yr.

RB's yes that difference is big. However, Bush/Sankey/Tate/Freeman/Sims isnt bad either. Serviceable. Freeman is going to be a factor this year, i don't think that's even debatable. Just to what extent perhaps.

You obviously ranked your TE's higher based on Gronk not being Gronk. Because if he is, then its easily in my favor. Again, Gronk is the key here.

We definitely do have different values on guys, no question. I think that 1st team is ridiculous. Time will tell...

Lets look at this a different way Starting Lineups just to see and then we can just rate the bench... I'm interested now..

ME You

Griffin Cutler I have an edge here... Yes Cutler could be very good but we have said that for 5 years now

Peterson Thomas Lets call this a wash, both great IMO

Gio Bush I don't have this one as close either... Bell will steal too many touches, favor me

Ellngton Sankey This one again isn't even close to me. Favor me

Crabtree Crabtree Lets call this one a push, lol

Wallace Jackson I have this one very close, wallace in new offense will be good.. slight edge to you

Maclin/Ertz Tate/Decker Again this one is close.. I don't have tate being in that position all year.. Push at worst for me

Whitten Gronk If Gronk is right edge you, Whitten will make it close though if both are healthy...

Bench for Bye Weeks and Injuries... This plays in more than people think... All starting lineups are pretty good usually

Hill Freeman

Helu Sims

Maclin/Ertz Tate/Decker

Nicks Benjamin

Hunter Ebron

Dobson Allen

Beckham

There is a huge difference here IMO which makes all the difference in the world when evaluating the full team....

What do you think

I don't see much of a difference in the bench to be honest. You'd rather have those backend WR's or Ebron/Allen? I'd take Ebron over all of them and Allen over the last 3 guys. If either Ebron/Allen or both hit, none of those WR's would be as valuable when u can flex the TE's. In other words, if either Ebrom/Allen put up 60+ rec's, 800+ yds and 8+ td's, which isn't 'that' crazy, i still don't see any of those backend WR's equaling that production. Think it just comes down to our individual values of guys which clearly is way different.

Please tell me the last time a Rookie TE has done anything at all... Those numbers are not even remotely close to what he will produce.. I wouldn't take Ebron over any of those WRs not to mention Allen...

All those back end WR's have star potential if they breakout... The upside is gigantic, could they flop sure... But if 1 of them breaks out then watch out.. That is what you need in an overall contest... Ebron and Allen together will struggle to equal Nicks alone I think... I just don't see either guy doing much, sorry.. Now next year for Ebron will be a different story...

But I COULD be wrong and Ebron could become the first Rookie TE ever to have a decent fantasy season.. The problem is he cannot block!!!!!! So that will put him on the field even less...

 
Ebron went to a team where the QB has averaged 675 passing attempts the last 3 yrs....675! Think about that haha. If there was any team in the NFL to handpick for this guy to goto , from a fantasy perspective, its DETROIT! I also like Allen alot this year, more then most. They will play 2 TE sets a ton and not many other guys do u want throwing the rock other then Luck. His floor is pretty high, I think he can easily be 1 of those TE's that becomes an every week starter for teams. I agree with u on Dobson, he can be that breakout WR. Beckham i don't see it, and im a Giants fan. I think he can be a 60+ catch guy though for sure. NIcks, meh, just cant count on him playing a full season and im sorry i cannot put any WR with Jake Locker throwing the ball to them as a breakout star. I barely like Wright but i realize, someone has to catch the balls there...

Even if u lowered Ebron's rec total to 50, which i think is low but whatever, that's 75 rec's in this format. I really don't see any of those WR's hitting 75+ rec's. And we're talking the floor here for Ebron unless u think he wont even catch 50 balls?

Thought I would post one to start conversation today..... Pretty happy with this one





QB - R. Griffin, R. Tanehill



RB - AP, Gio, A. Ellington, J. Hill, R. Helu, I. Crowell



WR - M. Crabtree, M. Wallace, J. Maclin, H. Nicks, J. Hunter, A. Dobson, O. Beckham



TE - Whitten, Ertz, Ausberry



K - Novak



Def - CAR



Thoughts?
I recognized your team. I was in the same draft. I think this was a more interesting draft than usual. The 7 spot, right after you, took 4 WR's with his 1st 4 picks. The 2 spot, just before me, took 3 TE's in the 1st 5 rounds.

What would you have done if Ellington wasn't there in the 3rd? I was going back and forth between him, Lynch & Andre Johnson. I ended up with Johnson. I'm OK with that, but I could easily see changing it if I could go back in time.

I'm a little lukewarm on your WR's, but I'm not a big Crabtree fan anyway. Welker, Keenan Allen & Roddy White going in 3 of the 4 picks just before you in the 4th surprised me. I thought one of them would have dropped to you. All together a very strong team and a favorite.

Too bad you took Hill in the 10th. If he came to me I would have gladly put off my QB pick another round.

Anyway. GL See you in week 2.

Honestly I don't know what I would of done.... There were no recievers that I really had to have at that position.. Maybe Cameron or a different RB, not sure honestly. You sniped me a couple times last night though.. Wanted R. White in 4th and you nabbed him.. Overall I liked your team alot too..

Good luck all except week 2 Sir...

I DO NOT think he gets 50.....

Rookie TE's just don't produce like that... I understand he landed in a good position but they will run alot more this year. Pettigrew is a beast in the run game and will play more snaps this year, I truely believe that. I have about 30 Teams right now spread out amongst all the contests and DON'T own him once!!! Next year I will own him ALOT!!!

Just going with History is all... I try to make the best decisions I can from the past.. I have learned to stay away from rookie TE's... He has the talent to prove me wrong though...

 
I think they view Ebron as more of a WR then TE. Of the Jimmy Graham mold. Also isn't the new OC the ex saints QB coach? I see them utilizing Ebron in that fashion. I would be very surprised if he didnt reach 50 Rec's in that insane passing offense. Pettigrew can still be in there blocking as well. Ebron could be his 3rd passing option even. I don't think his role will be of your typical rookie TE. The preseason should tell us alot more.

Really strong at WR and Qb. RB's are dicey. Really need Foster to be the beast he was in the past. also your TE's are really weak. When did u take Finley that u have 2 TE's behind him?

Overall u could struggle with this squad.

 
Why are you worried about Foster? If he gets injured, I have his back up. Foster is one of the few RBs who will see 300+ touches in Bill O'Brien's coaching system.

Do you like any teams you see in here? You shred everyone and the only one I have seen you praise is your own team. And I thought it was one of the worst I had seen posted.
 
I like the team although I probably would have gone RB at either 4, 5 or 6 so you have a decent 3rd RB behind Foster and Jennings. WR is solid and Clay will be fine as a TE in the big group behind the key leaders although the depth is somewhat weak. Last year, I had the same issue was able to get Clay in early weeks to support my TE group very cheap so youll like have some options.

1st off I gave my 2nd team a C+. And if u think my 1st is one of the worst here, you're just lost. Not sure what to tell you. I've liked quite a few teams actually. Mostly coots but that's because he's drafting GOOD teams lol. Something you're struggling to do.

 
Here's an RB-heavy team I drafted last night

QB - P Manning (3)

RB - M Ball (1), D Murray (2), R Mathews (4), C Johnson (5), D Brown (13), C Ivory (15), R Hillman (17), J Randle (20)

WR - M Wallace (6), T Williams (7), S Watkins (8), M Jones (10), H Nicks (11), H Douglas (14), M Williams (18)

TE - E Ebron (9), G Graham (12)

K - D Bailey (19)

D - New Eng (16)

I agree. The dude is delusional. He thinks he is the only one who knows what he is doing. I have 5 WRs I could start every week....I have a stud RB and his handcuff, and that RB will see all the action on running and passing downs. I have 2 QBs that I can rotate in and out, and easily get a combined production of top 5-10. Everyone forgets Kap played last year without Crabtree and that hurt him a lot....now they have Crab; Boldin and have added Stevie Johnson (as a #3 when he was a #1 in Buffalo). Add Vernon Davis to that and I see a great rebound year for Kap. All I need is avg production at TE, and I have a TE (Clay) who produced the same #s as a guy that was draft 5 rounds before him (Greg Olsen; Jason Witten), so I am really not sure what he expects from a team. I will be starting 4 WRs every week and killing teams in this PPR format.

So you say TEs are weak. If Clay gets injured, sure I am in trouble but if he does not, based on last year:

Witten: 73 catches 851 yards 8 TDs

Vernon Davis: 52 catches 850 yds 13 TDs

Olsen: 73 catches 816 yds 6 TDs

Clay: 69 catches 759 yards 6 TDs

Vernon Davis had a year in which his TDs were an outlier compared to every other year he has played in. And that was because there was no Crabtree and Stevie Johnson last year. After Crab came back, Davis' #s dropped. So, what is the difference between Clay and those other 3, when you can get Clay 3 rounds later at least. Also remember, Witten is one more year older and I guarantee they will throw the ball to their 2nd year TE a lot more, so expect Witten to get phased out this year. Clay has absolutely no competition at the TE spot and the WRs are not that great in Miami (Wallace is not a move the sticks kinda guy; so other than Hartline, the balls will go Clay's way when they need a 1st down).

You can argue if Clay gets hurt I am in trouble. But I am hoping I can get the Tampa starting TE out of the 2 I have and I rolled the dice on Finley. Quarles is also still available on the WW. If Finley does not come back, I can always get someone from the WW who is serviceable as back up/start in Clay's bye week.

My team will be dependant on 4 WRs every week and Foster. I see no reason to believe that is good enough to contend into a playoff spot, after which it is all luck and hoping the team gets hot. Also, I have no players that have a week 12 bye (Carolina; Steelers) that matter. I intentionally avoid the Bell; Antonio Brown etc picks.

 
You drafted Foster at 8 overall. Need I say more? Ok. Your 2nd TE drafted which I still want to know when u took him, being u have 2 more behind him, might NOT PLAY THIS YEAR. woodhead as your #3 RB is also bad. And I have him as my #3 on a team, I'm pissed about it. Haha. U have a very nice set of WR's, that's where it ends. Clay is solid if u have another legit TE behind him. As your only playable TE in this format? Yes that's weak. Im surely not seeing what you are. But there is zero that gets me excited about this team. I'm sorry but I'm honest. And have done well in this tourny, I know I know that means nothing.

And wasn't kissing Coots anything. I didnt like the team he drafted in the league were in together. Outside of that team, I liked all his squads. I'm also looking at the big prize here. Of course any of these teams can win their own league. If I see something special, I take notice.

Geez dude, what is so difficult to understand . You said coots is drafting good teams, something I am struggling to do. I HAVEN'T DRAFTED ANY TEAMS YET.
 
Sorry thought u were that ffrookie character. But yea if u thought my 1st team was one of the worst, you're lost as well. Lol

 
Team 1:

QB: Cutler (11), Wilson (12)

RB: Bush (3), Sankey (4), Tate (7), Freeman (10), Sims (14) , Stepfan Taylor (17)

WR: Demaryius (1), Crabtree (5), D-Jax (6), Decker (8), Benjamin (15)

TE: Gronk (2), Ebron (9), Allen (13), Austin S-Jenkins (18)

D - NYG (16)

K - Crosby (19), Gould (20)

I think this is a A-/B+ overall. Again, all predicated on Gronk. If Gronk is even just 'decent', i still give it a B+. If he's the Gronk of old, this is a special unit. If Gronk is hurt/not playing/bad, still have so much firepower I'd give it a B-

Team 2

QB: RG3 (7), Dalton (13)

RB: Jennings (3), Sankey (5), Woodhead (8), Freeman (9), Mason (11), James White (17)

WR: AJ Green (1), DJax (6), Matthews (10), Marvin Jones (12), Beckham (14), Robert Woods (16)

TE: Gronk (2), Witten (4), Finley (15)

D: NYG (19)

K: Prater (18), Gould (20)

Def a risky fantasy team here. I'd give this a C+ with potential. If one of those rb's of Freeman/Mason/White pan out, then i think im in good shape. Again, Gronk is the X-Factor. I'm higher on Jennings then most, if u see the Jennings thread, you will see that. Of Matthews/Jones/Beckham, i figure 1 will be a decent WR3 for me...Definitely need some 'IF's" to pan out for me here but its as boom/bust squad as u will find.
If you think that 1st team is good you're delusional. RBs awful, one stud WR, and gronk but who knows with him. No prayer in my book.
 
Lol yep you're lost. Good luck tho.

And I'll put $ up that this team outscores any team u will draft. If u even draft teams in this thing.. let me know we can figure out something.

I kind of like reading his and FFrookies veiw on things gives me a different perspective to look at.
 
Just drafted out of 7th spot:

QB: Ryan; Big Ben

RB: AP (1); Ray Rice; Steven Jackson; DeAngelo Williams; Jon Stewart

WR: Keenan Allen (3); Roddy White (4); Desean Jackson (5); Eric Decker; Cecil Shorts; Miles Austin; Josh Gordon

TE: Gronk (2); Gates; Quarles

D: Den; Carolina

PK: Gostowski

I am sure Gildz will hate this team although it is better than his best team given I have AP as RB1; my WRs as a whole have a lot more depth and I am not relying on Crabtree (who plays twice against Sherman and Patrick Peterson) and I have a better back up TE if Gronk misses any games and my D and Kicker is way better than his

I am sure Gildz will hate this team although it is better than his best team given I have AP as RB1; my WRs as a whole have a lot more depth and I am not relying on Crabtree (who plays twice against Sherman and Patrick Peterson) and I have a better back up TE if Gronk misses any games and my D and Kicker is way better than his
It's not better but ok. You have AP and a bunch of 50 year old RB's. and if u prefer Allen and White to Demaryius and Crabtree well, there is no sense in arguing with u. And you brought up K and D? Really? There's 1 defense that stands alone and asking them to be #1 at years end is even asking alot.Oh and I prefer Both my qb's to yours. Just sayin..i also prefer ebron and allen to gates. And what's the avg age of your team 47?

I'd like to put up a $50 wager with Da Gildz that Olsen outscores Gronkowski this season (inclusive of all regular season games including any where injuries may prevent play). Da Gildz you up for it?
How about we do $50 on 12 games of Gronk vs 16 of Olsen? If he doesn't hit 12 no bet. There was obvious risk taking Gronk, I know this. And I'm willing to take the risk of him over a guy like Olsen who's upside is limited. So if Gronk plays 8 games, I'm ok with it. But if I hit on him with a whole season, then my squad can do some big things. But on a per game average, there is no comparison between the 2.

I like your squad here... Not a huge fan of woodhead this year, not because he isn't good. Just worried about all the RBs in that house, that is a lot of mouths to feed.. Still 70 catches what's wrong with that.. WRs will carry you.. Overall you could do well..
