Seriously thought Jordan Mathews was white. I would've considered drafting him if I knew he wasn't.

 

[Mister CIA]

You would have been better off drafting an all-white team.

I didn't want to appear racist....

Thought for sure you would have drafted Ray Rice early.

 

[Raider Nation]

That would be a neat trick. He's Jerry Rice's cousin.

Jay Cutler QB. Likely top 10

Jamaal Charles RB. Nothing needs to be said

Ryan Mathews RB. Very solid flex play on a good offense wanting to feature him.

Roddy White WR. Huge bounce back year. Healthy. No Gonzo. One of the most underrated players in the draft. Top 10 very possible.

Frenchie Garcon WR. Don't expect him to repeat last year but should still do well.

Emmanuel Sanders WR. Big unknown but worth a shot as our 3rd wr. Big offense. Welker old. No Decker

Eric Ebron TE. Could kill us but had to be weak somewhere

K?

New England Def

Ben Tate waiting patiently on the bench. Good player to have on the bench. May crack our starting lineup.

cosjobs, I think your team is just terrible. This is a league that is won by wide receivers, and the fact is you don't have any. To win consistently, you should be starting 4 wide receivers a week. One needs to be elite, giving you 20 points or more consistently. The others should give you a steady 10 each with the potential for more. (The only exception to this is if you have one of the 2 elite tight ends in the league- Graham or Thomas. If you have one of them, then you might be able to get away without a WR1, though you still need several WR2s.) It took me a long time to figure this out. Like you, I wasted previous drafts on QBs and RBs. The problem is that under this scoring system, they're all too similar to each other to give you any kind of advantage, unless you get one that has a unique, elite season (like Manning last year.)

Unless you can pull off a trade, right now your best WR is Boldin, who is a WR3. Josh Gordon was a gamble, and MAYBE it will pay off but at this point I doubt it. I think he's done for the year, we'll see.

Tim, the talent at WR was too over-valued early. Why would I try and draft four good receivers, when I only need two to get by and I have three of the top 10 RBs to fill my RB, Flex1 and Flex2. Please show me the teams whose 3-4 WRs are better than my Flex1-Flex2 combo. THey'll need to be since I'll likely end up with a #2 and #4 WR production from my WR starters. What difference does it make where your points come from? Its the total number on the bottom of the column every week.

If Dez or Megatron had been there at 6, I would have gone that direction. If Julio, Demaryius or AJ had been there in R2, I would have snagged one then as well. But no other receiver on the board, IMO would score more points than the RBs I took in their place. I've got three rock solid RBs who will be the focal part of their offense, likely not leave on third down and can catch 50+ passes.

So shall we wager 100/100?

Edit to add- I've been WR first drafting for a decade because their value was almost always there during the draft a RB stampede (including this league two years ago). You win with WRs when you get them in value positions. The WRs in this draft definitely did not fall into value positions.

Your team is currently being rated by the projections of David Dodds Switch to: Maurile Tremblay Bob Henry Jason Wood

QB: Matt Ryan, Josh McCown

RB: Adrian Peterson, Arian Foster, Shonn Greene, Tre Mason

WR: Cordarrelle Patterson, Sammy Watkins, Kelvin Benjamin, Mike Williams, John Brown, Aaron Dobson

TE: Ladarius Green, Charles Clay

PK: Ryan Succop

TD: New York Jets

Overview:

Let's start by remarking that we appreciate your old-school leanings: you have a team marked by strength at the running back position. But with the quarterback and wide receiver both being less strong, you may need to do something to change the outlook of this team. Your deficiencies are likely to show themselves through the bye weeks, so try to manuever early in improving the quarterback and/or receiver positions before week four.

Keep an eye out for quarterbacks like Nick Foles from last year, Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck from the year before, and Cam Newton the year before that. All were available cheap in August, and all contributed to fantasy championship teams. Similarly, wide receivers like Julian Edelman, Keenan Allen, and Riley Cooper were available after a lot of the drafts last season. Landing some of this year's top waiver players would be a huge help, so pay close attention to increased workloads, targets, injuries, etc.

Bottom line:

• With great inseason management, we think you have about a 55 percent chance of making the playoffs.
• With good inseason management, we think you have about a 40 percent chance of making the playoffs.
• With average inseason management, we think you have a 21 percent chance of making the playoffs.

In any event, we wish you the best of luck. Here's hoping all your weeks are like week 14 of 2013:

Your team is currently being rated by the projections of David Dodds Switch to: Maurile Tremblay Bob Henry Jason Wood

QB: Andy Dalton, Ryan Tannehill

RB: Giovani Bernard, Bishop Sankey, Pierre Thomas, LeGarrette Blount

WR: Alshon Jeffery, T.Y. Hilton, Rueben Randle, Harry Douglas

TE: Jordan Cameron, Antonio Gates

PK: Justin Tucker, Matt Bryant

TD: Arizona Cardinals, San Diego Chargers

Overview:

In a competitive league, almost every team has a weakness. It's almost impossible to build a team that is strong at all three core positions (quarterback, running back and wide receiver). As you probably suspect, we perceive your weakness to be at the quarterback position. Of all the deficiencies to have though, this is usually the easiest one to mask.

Footballguys owner David Dodds even recommends you go into your draft with the goal of landing the top RBs and WRs while waiting to grab QBs late. Value-Based Drafting principles also suggest that teams constructed in this manner end up being strong. But for this team to reach it's full potential, you might need to have a quick trigger finger at the QB position and stay on the look out for good quarterback help. Last year Nick Foles could be had very cheap in August, but ended up contributing to a lot of fantasy championships. In 2012 it was Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck; in 2011 it was Cam Newton. Quarterbacks like these can be found every year, and that could be the key to your team's success.

So although this team isn't perfect (few are), it should still be a strong contender.

Players we particularly like on this team include Giovani Bernard, Rueben Randle, Jordan Cameron, and Matt Bryant. We have all these guys ranked ahead of where they are typically being drafted.

Bottom line:

• With great inseason management, we think you have about a 85 percent chance of making the playoffs.
• With good inseason management, we think you have about a 75 percent chance of making the playoffs.
• With average inseason management, we think you have a 65 percent chance of making the playoffs.

WR: Dez Bryant, Andre Johnson, Wes Welker, Reggie Wayne, Jordan Matthews, Brandon LaFell, Donte Moncrief

TE: Kyle Rudolph

PK: Robbie Gould

TD: Baltimore Ravens

Overview:

Your receivers are the strongest part of this team and you look good at tight end as well. While no team can be expected to be above average at all three core positions (QB/RB/WR), you are in the precarious position of being a bit weak at two of them.

Although you should not be counted out yet, you may need to be active on both the waiver wire and in trades to turn this team into a legitimate contender. The best way to achieve that might be to sacrifice some of your wide receiver strength to gain multiple players than can help your roster now. It's generally easier finding quarterbacks and wide receivers on the waiver wire than quality running backs.

Keep an eye out for quarterbacks like Nick Foles from last year, Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck from 2012, or Cam Newton in 2011. All were available cheap in August, and all contributed to fantasy championship teams. Likewise, running backs like Knowshon Moreno and Zac Stacy could be had dirt cheap at the draft or shortly after. You are likely going to need to land some of this year's top waiver plays, so pay close attention to increased workloads, targets, injuries, etc.

Players we particularly like on this team include Andre Johnson, Reggie Wayne, and Jordan Matthews. We have all these guys ranked ahead of where they are typically being drafted.

Nevertheless, we feel compelled to mention that the RB and WR positions make us a bit nervous and are likely to require some attention throughout the year. We'd feel much better if we knew you were committed to scooping up 2014's breakout players at RB and WR. Getting one or more of these would take this team to the next level.

Qb -- Rodgers --one of the elite, with top spot potential

Rb - Lacy --very happy to get him as my rb, even with our settings he was a steal at #13 overall

Wr -- Crabtree and Tate --- crabtree has talent but oppurtunity is not great for a #1, tate needs to be solid with Calvin something nobody has done yet.

Flex --- Bush and Wheaton --- because of his overall production bush makes a decent flex here and he will be great as a #2 rb, wheaton has looked good this summer and has a solid oppurtunity this year.

Te -- Olsen -- A very solid te #1, not flashy just productive

Bench --- F jackson --- still productive and team seems to still believe in him.

Amendola -- looked better when I drafted him, stock has fallen since then.

Beckham --- took him late based on potential, but so far has not shown anything.

Eifert --- I am okay with him as my back up to Olsen.

Helu --- a bye need pick.

G. Smith -- a bye week pick

pk -- Bailey -- I like his opportunity and late bye

def --- Bengals and Packers --Benglas are elite and I think the pack are above average.

Stafford, Matthew DET QB - Elite

Colston, Marques NOS WR. - Bounce back to Top 10

Green, A.J. CIN WR - Elite

Shorts, Cecil JAC WR - Solid

Reed, Jordan WAS TE

Prater, Matt DEN PK - Elite

Seahawks, Seattle SEA Def. - Elite

I have a potential hole at TE and second Flex, but that can be fixed on waiver wire. The rest of my team is as good as anyone's. Maybe should have gone TE instead of Eli, but my draft went as planned.

I think Cos is in trouble. I see zero WR that I would want to start unless by some miracle Josh plays. Filling in flex with RB's will be fine, but he QB's have very little trade value. He needs to find a couple WR on the wire or he is toast.

Overview:

Your receivers are the strongest part of this team. It's rare for us to endorse a team with weaknesses at quarterback and running back, but we're doing it right here! You should have a contender here. But your margin for error in terms of inseason management could be a bit thinner than some of your competitors'. You must remain committed to finding 2014's emergent players at RB and QB.

• With average inseason management, we think you have a 21 percent chance of making the playoffs.

In any event, we wish you the best of luck. Here's hoping all your weeks are like week 14 of 2013:

Not sure how my qbs are weak? Unless they expect a bad year for ryan. I don't so Joe and company can "have a great season" for all I care...

Ryan is not considered a top 10 QB. Not saying he can't sneak in, but he is a weakness at this point.

As long as Julio and Roddy stay healthy I believe he is

 

[NIU Kicker]

Didn't we do this last year and everyone was 85% to make the playoffs?

 

[Bonzai]

Didn't we do this last year and everyone was 85% to make the playoffs?

Yes, nice to see some variance this year.

 

[flapgreen]

Yeah we were 90% to make playoffs this year and finished in dead last. Someone plug our team into that thing this year.

Eta: nm. Don't. That's ridiculous

 

[flapgreen]

QB: Peyton Manning, Ryan Fitzpatrick

RB: C.J. Spiller, Maurice Jones-Drew, Jeremy Hill

WR: Jordy Nelson, DeSean Jackson, Brian Hartline, Dwayne Bowe, Jarrett Boykin, Mohamed Sanu

TE: Vernon Davis, Garrett Graham

PK: Nick Novak

TD: Houston Texans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Overview:

Your receivers are the strongest part of this team. It's rare for us to endorse a team with weaknesses at quarterback and running back, but we're doing it right here! You should have a contender here. But your margin for error in terms of inseason management could be a bit thinner than some of your competitors'. You must remain committed to finding 2014's emergent players at RB and QB.

Players we particularly like on this team include Brian Hartline and Garrett Graham. We have both these guys ranked ahead of where they are typically being drafted.

Bottom line: This team is a virtual lock to go to the playoffs. :IBTL:

 

[[icon]]

Qb -- Rodgers --one of the elite, with top spot potential

Rb - Lacy --very happy to get him as my rb, even with our settings he was a steal at #13 overall

Wr -- Crabtree and Tate --- crabtree has talent but oppurtunity is not great for a #1, tate needs to be solid with Calvin something nobody has done yet.

Flex --- Bush and Wheaton --- because of his overall production bush makes a decent flex here and he will be great as a #2 rb, wheaton has looked good this summer and has a solid oppurtunity this year.

Te -- Olsen -- A very solid te #1, not flashy just productive

Bench --- F jackson --- still productive and team seems to still believe in him.

Amendola -- looked better when I drafted him, stock has fallen since then.

Beckham --- took him late based on potential, but so far has not shown anything.

Eifert --- I am okay with him as my back up to Olsen.

Helu --- a bye need pick.

G. Smith -- a bye week pick

pk -- Bailey -- I like his opportunity and late bye

def --- Bengals and Packers --Benglas are elite and I think the pack are above average.

oooo do us do us!

Bonzai, Jon Mx, and Rikishiboy all have very good teams.

RB: Trent Richardson, Ray Rice, Bernard Pierce, Christine Michael, Dri Archer

WR: Randall Cobb, Jeremy Maclin, Brandin Cooks, Paul Richardson, Joe Morgan

TE: Travis Kelce, Levine Toilolo

PK: Steve Hauschka

TD: Denver Broncos

Overview:

Your starting lineup is respectable, but the lack of depth is a serious problem. If you're lucky enough to avoid the injury bug, you might be OK. But that's a tough thing to have to count on.

To make this team into a serious contender, you are going to need to be extremely active in trades and on the waiver wire. You esentially need to turn over significant parts of this roster. Last year running backs like Knowshon Moreno and Zac Stacy could be had dirt cheap at the draft. Additionally, wide receivers like Julian Edelman and Keenan Allen were available after a lot of the drafts. Quarterbacks like Nick Foles last season, and Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck in 2012 could be had cheap just after draft time. You are likely going to need to land many of this year's top waiver plays to make any significant noise, so pay close attention to increased workloads, targets, injuries, etc.

Players we particularly like on this team include Drew Brees, Brandin Cooks, Steve Hauschka, and the Broncos defense. We have all these guys ranked ahead of where they are typically being drafted.

Bottom line:

• With great inseason management, we think you have about a 45 percent chance of making the playoffs.
• With good inseason management, we think you have about a 25 percent chance of making the playoffs.
• With average inseason management, we think you have a 4 percent chance of making the playoffs.

WR: Jordy Nelson, DeSean Jackson, Brian Hartline, Dwayne Bowe, Jarrett Boykin, Mohamed Sanu

TE: Vernon Davis, Garrett Graham

PK: Nick Novak

TD: Houston Texans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Overview:

We'll start by complimenting you on your strength at quarterback and receiver. As you know, it's very difficult in a competitive league to assemble a team that is strong at QB, RB, and WR, so just about every team will have a weakness. As you probably suspect, we perceive yours to be at running back.

In 2014, that's not an instant fantasy team killer like it might have been five years ago. Your league setup also doesn't mandate running back strength to the extent that many do. So in this particular case, we absolutely think you're strong enough elsewhere to overcome it. You've definitely got a good team here, but we'd feel better if we knew you were committed to keeping an eye out for the 2014 version of last season's Knowshon Moreno or Zac Stacy, or 2012's Alfred Morris.

Players we particularly like on this team include Brian Hartline and Garrett Graham. We have both these guys ranked ahead of where they are typically being drafted.

Bottom line:

• With good inseason management, we think you have about a 70 percent chance of making the playoffs.
• With average inseason management, we think you have a 56 percent chance of making the playoffs.

WR: Michael Crabtree, Golden Tate, Markus Wheaton, Danny Amendola, Odell Beckham Jr

TE: Greg Olsen, Tyler Eifert

PK: Dan Bailey

Overview:

We think you're looking good at quarterback and running back, and tight end is a plus for this team as well. Your squad is therefore easy for us to like despite a bit of weakness at the receiver position. But as weaknesses go, this is one is survivable. It's usually relatively easy to find fill-in guys on a weekly basis until a better player emerges during the season. As long as you stay on top of things inseason, you should be among the top teams in the league.

Players we particularly like on this team include Reggie Bush, Geno Smith, Tyler Eifert, Fred Jackson, the Bengals defense, Dan Bailey, and the Packers defense. We have all these guys ranked ahead of where they are typically being drafted.
