timschochet's Fantasy Football League - Draft has begun (1 Viewer)

TEAM 6 BONZAI, RATED BY FOOTBALLGUYS.COM

Edit this team           Input another team with the same league settings

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

QB: Russell Wilson, Jared Goff
RB: Mark Ingram, Matt Forte, Eddie Lacy, Jeremy Hill
WR: Julio Jones, DeAndre Hopkins, Allen Robinson, DeVante Parker, Rishard Matthews, John Ross, Tyler Boyd
TE: Charles Clay, Julius Thomas
PK: 
TD: Cincinnati Bengals

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 2017's emergent players at RB and QB.

Players we particularly like on this team include DeAndre Hopkins, Allen Robinson, and Jeremy Hill. 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 90 percent chance of making the playoffs.

With good inseason management, we think you have about a 80 percent chance of making the playoffs.

With average inseason management, we think you have a 72 percent chance of making the playoffs.

 
TEAM 11 TAT, RATED BY FOOTBALLGUYS.COM

Edit this team           Input another team with the same league settings

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

QB: Derek Carr, Carson Palmer
RB: Spencer Ware, Ty Montgomery, Adrian Peterson, Kenyan Drake
WR: Michael Thomas, Brandin Cooks, Randall Cobb, ArDarius Stewart, Mohamed Sanu, Michael Floyd
TE: Jason Witten, O.J. Howard
PK: Matt Prater
TD: Arizona Cardinals

Overview:

Your receivers are the strongest part of this team. 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 Dak Prescott from last year, Blake Bortles from 2015, and Ben Roethlisberger from 2014. All were available cheap in August, and all contributed to fantasy championship teams. Likewise, running backs like Rob Kelley and Mike Gillislee 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 ArDarius Stewart, Randall Cobb, and the Cardinals 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 60 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 22 percent chance of making the playoffs.

 
Nobody has a 72 percent chance of making the playoffs.  And nobody has a 3 percent chance.  There are better teams but way too many variables to say there is that kind of difference in chances.  

 
TEAM 5 BANANAFISH, RATED BY FOOTBALLGUYS.COM

Edit this team           Input another team with the same league settings

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

QB: Cam Newton
RB: DeMarco Murray, Lamar Miller, Bilal Powell, Chris Thompson
WR: Odell Beckham Jr, Stefon Diggs, Mike Wallace, Adam Thielen, Breshad Perriman, Taylor Gabriel, Anquan Boldin
TE: Coby Fleener
PK: Graham Gano
TD: Philadelphia Eagles

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 Dak Prescott could be had very cheap in August, but ended up contributing to a lot of fantasy championships. In 2015 it was Blake Bortles; in 2014 it was Ben Roethlisberger; in 2013 it was Nick Foles. 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 Bilal Powell, Odell Beckham Jr, Mike Wallace, Stefon Diggs, Chris Thompson, Lamar Miller, Breshad Perriman, and Adam Thielen. 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 75 percent chance of making the playoffs.

With good inseason management, we think you have about a 60 percent chance of making the playoffs.

With average inseason management, we think you have a 42 percent chance of making the playoffs.

 
TEAM 4 JV DESIGNS, RATED BY FOOTBALLGUYS.COM

Edit this team           Input another team with the same league settings

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

WARNING: you have 17 players, which is over the roster limit of 16. We will go ahead and rate the team as if you have been given an exemption by the rest of your league. But for a more realistic assessment, you might want to go back and cut down to 16

QB: Andy Dalton, Eli Manning
RB: Ezekiel Elliott, Marshawn Lynch, Darren McFadden, Jalen Richard, Charles Sims
WR: Tyreek Hill, Sammy Watkins, Jamison Crowder, Donte Moncrief, Tyler Lockett, Devin Funchess, Jaron Brown
TE: Austin Hooper
PK: Adam Vinatieri
TD: Kansas City Chiefs

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. Because the position is so sought after, a team constructed like this usually has a chance to make the playoffs. 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 Dak Prescott from last year, Blake Bortles from the year before, and Ben Roethlisberger from the year before that. All were available cheap in August, and all contributed to fantasy championship teams. Similarly, wide receivers like Tyrell Williams and Jamison Crowder 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.

Players we particularly like on this team include Jalen Richard, Darren McFadden, and Devin Funchess. 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 40 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 10 percent chance of making the playoffs.

Lol--I love how on my team--even with "17" guys (tyler Lockett is actually not on my team)-- I still basically have no chance. God--even with an extra roster spot--I am probably the longest shot to make the playoffs. I suck at this fantasy football thing. Lol.

I see shifty is here and you are here ...so if we can get  @timschochet to get ahold of Em.  We can finish tonight.  

Not really fair to wait out the weekend for new injuries etc. to break open opportunities.  Need to finish up.

 
TEAM 3 THEREF, RATED BY FOOTBALLGUYS.COM

Edit this team           Input another team with the same league settings

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

QB: Aaron Rodgers, Trevor Siemian
RB: Theo Riddick, Giovani Bernard
WR: Antonio Brown, Davante Adams, DeSean Jackson, Sterling Shepard, Kevin White, Ted Ginn, Mike Williams
TE: Tyler Eifert, Antonio Gates
PK: Chandler Catanzaro
TD: Seattle Seahawks, Atlanta Falcons

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 2017, that's not an instant fantasy team killer like it might have been five years ago. And 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 2017 version of last season's David Johnson or 2014's C.J. Anderson or Jeremy Hill.

Players we particularly like on this team include Sterling Shepard, Kevin White, and Ted Ginn. 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 70 percent chance of making the playoffs.

With good inseason management, we think you have about a 55 percent chance of making the playoffs.

With average inseason management, we think you have a 39 percent chance of making the playoffs.

 
TEAM 2 SHIFTY, RATED BY FOOTBALLGUYS.COM

Edit this team           Input another team with the same league settings

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

QB: Tom Brady, Matt Ryan
RB: LeVeon Bell, Christian McCaffrey, Paul Perkins
WR: Tyrell Williams, Robby Anderson, Chris Conley, Zay Jones, Cooper Kupp, Curtis Samuel
TE: Zach Ertz, C.J. Fiedorowicz
PK: Stephen Gostkowski
TD: Denver Broncos, New York Giants

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 the league favorite or very close to it.

Players we particularly like on this team include Zach Ertz, C.J. Fiedorowicz, and Matt Ryan. 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 90 percent chance of making the playoffs.

With good inseason management, we think you have about a 85 percent chance of making the playoffs.

With average inseason management, we think you have a 75 percent chance of making the playoffs.

TEAM 1 FLAPGREEN, RATED BY FOOTBALLGUYS.COM

Edit this team           Input another team with the same league settings

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

QB: Carson Wentz, Mitchell Trubisky
RB: David Johnson, Todd Gurley, C.J. Anderson, Danny Woodhead, Jacquizz Rodgers
WR: Alshon Jeffery, Cameron Meredith, Corey Davis
TE: Jack Doyle, Evan Engram, George Kittle, David Njoku
PK: Dan Bailey
TD: Houston Texans

Overview:

Old school!

We like your overall strength at the traditionally less important positions, but make no mistake about it: this team is about strength at the running back position. And we think it will be among the top teams in the league. Somewhere Emmitt Smith is smiling.

Nonetheless, we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention the relative lack of strength at quarterback and receiver. These are usually survivable weaknesses, but we'd feel better if we knew you were committed to zealously scouring the waiver wire for this year's emergent players at QB and WR. Getting a breakout player at one or both of those positions would take your already-good team to the next level.

Bottom line:

With great inseason management, we think you have about a 75 percent chance of making the playoffs.

With good inseason management, we think you have about a 60 percent chance of making the playoffs.

With average inseason management, we think you have a 41 percent chance of making the playoffs.
