Is this team a contender this year or is it too young? (1 Viewer)

[B. Nugget]

I mentioned this team a few times leading up to the draft, but I had 7 of the top 15 picks and obviously went with a youth movement to reload for the future after selling off some assets late in the season when it was obvious I couldn't compete in my own division.  (Bell for the picks that would become CMC & Cook, plus Parker and White was the big trade).

10 team, 10 player keeper league with 4 man taxi squad....5 PPR, 6 pt. TDS, QB/2RB/WRS/TE/FLEX/K/D

QB: Cousins, Dalton

RB: Crowell, Miller, CMC, Hunt, Foreman, Bernard, Charles

WR: Julio, DT, Parker, Maclin, M. Jones, White, Kupp

TE: Ertz

K &D: Walsh  & Pitt D

Taxi Squad: D. Cook, Mahomes, Z. Jones, C. Coleman

Full disclosure, I passed on Corey Davis at 1.05 in favor of Hunt because of the salary cap implications and roster depth at WR (kept 7 WRs) and because I thought I could trade up from 10 to 6 if I took the last of the RBs, but the 1.06 owner wouldn't bite and just took Davis...that one may come back to burn me, but I like Hunt and I felt good about Zay at 10 as a back-up plan, so I went for it.  If I would have swung that deal, it would drastically altered the rest of my picks and I would have been bargain hunting just to fill out my roster...my roster is better off for not pulling off the deal, but it would have been nice to have Davis.

I feel like I might have got an absolute steal by keeping Charles for $6 as my last keeper, as I feel he is flying way below the radar in Denver and at $6, I could afford to roll the dice on his upside...for comparison, Gio Bernard was my last pick and he was $10.

I like my team and The Rate my Team app says it is a legit playoff contender (90-99% if I don't mess it up basically), but I want some outside opinions now that the draft is over and the games are around the corner.

You will kill it. No one will like you because of it. As long as you stay up on the free agents to maximize roster you should be solid this year

Ok, I run a 4-man keeper league, but I have to confess I'm not all that literate when it comes to dynasty leagues or auctions. So let me preface my comments by saying that. 

This is a really, really solid team. I don't like Bernard (he's about to become the 3rd option)  or Charles (I think he's toast) and I would put Foreman in place of Cook on your taxi squad. 
Your QBs are serviceable but nothing special. I like the pickup of Mahomes for the future.
Your collection of WRs is off the charts. I don't even have to see the other rosters to know this is probably THE ELITE lineup in your league. 
I think your weakest link is the kicker as I'm pretty sure, Walsh has had accuracy issues since leaving Minnesota. 
Your Defense is solid enough.
I agree with the FBG rating. This should be a no-doubt-about-it playoff contender.

You'll be great-especially if Hunt keeps it up, however I'd drop Charles or Bernard who you will probably never start and pick up another TE and possibly another lottery ticket like Breida or Carson who might still be out there.
