Hey everyone, long time no see. Im here asking for some advice and suggestions. I personally like my players, but do you guys think any of these guys will hurt my chances? Tony Romo, Dal QB Ben Roethlisberger, Pit QB Chris Johnson, Ten RB LaDainian Tomlinson, SD RB Ronnie Brown, Mia RB Knowshon Moreno, Den RB Chris Wells, Ari RB Willis McGahee, Bal RB Laurence Maroney, NE RB Chad Ochocinco, Cin WR Roddy White, Atl WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh, Sea WR Kevin Curtis, Phi WR Zach Miller, Oak TE Eagles D/ST, Phi D/ST David Akers, Phi K
Looks pretty good. although I'm not a fantasy expert. I'm not sold on Romo at all. I think he's overrated as hell. With TO gone, he loses another weapon, but I guess he won't hurt you that much fantasy wise. Any reason why you went with Philly for defense and special teams? Also, as an Eagles fan, I can tell you that David Akers is just a shell of what he once was. I dunno what type of kickers are left, but I have very little faith in him. He hasn't been the same since his injury.
How many starting positions do you have to fill for each week? What's the scoring format? Your team's pretty good, but I feel like there's a lot more quantity than quality at the skill positions. Unless LDT bounces back, you don't really have a good enough RB to pencil in at the #2 spot (behind Chris Johnson, your players are either untested or declining). I like your recievers a lot (hopefully Roddy White doesn't hold-out too long), but Kevin Curtis is slowly becoming irrelevant in Philly, after a strong first year with the Eagles.
Heres the positions to start. 1 QB, 2 RB, 1 RB/WR, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 D/ST, and 1 P. My Draft order got messed up and I got pushed down to slow 8. I lost plenty of players because of it. 8 was last btw. The draft was an autopick because it was just some bragging rights between friends.
Tony Romo without a doubt. He may have issues with his clutch performance, but he's an excellent fantasy QB. He'll put up great stats in his bounce-back year.
An 8 team league? I think you need to start trying to make some trades, FWIW. Romo's fine, don't worry about him, but your other positions are pretty thin. You may be able to find a better TE in the free agent pool (by my count, Miller is the 10th best TE). WR is a pretty thin position anyway. I like White and TJ but the rest aren't very good, I suppose Curtis will be your bye week guy. You've got a lot of running backs but no top tier guys and LT and Brown are kind of questionable. I'd imagine most the teams in your league are pretty deep but I'd see if I could find any of them that don't have enough RB (or wait unitl one gets hurt) and offer Brown/LT and one of your other guys for a top tier guy, although they may have to be fairly desperate to do that.
My friend wants to trade me Tony Gonzalez and Reggie Bush for LT. I have a shitty TE as well. So keep that in mind. Heres a list of my RBs. Chris Johnson, Ten RB LaDainian Tomlinson, SD RB Ronnie Brown, Mia RB Knowshon Moreno, Den RB Chris Wells, Ari RB Willis McGahee, Bal RB Laurence Maroney, NE RB
Don't do that trade. TEs are not going to make or break your team. There are three elite ones and Tony G is one of them, but why trade a top 12 back for a TE and a injury prone all-purpose back? Makes no sense for you. I would be open to trading anyone on your team outside of Chris Johnson. Hang onto him. He was your best pick. L.T. is tough to move. People are down on him, but he's still a respectable player. In fact, I think he's a top ten fantasy back so you may want to keep him. I would watch Denver's runningback situation. If it looks like Moreno is the full-time back, he's a solid No. 3 and maybe even a No. 2. Then look to move Ronnie Brown. He's overrated. Had most of his touchdowns in one game last season. Try and package him with maybe Chad Ochocinco and upgrade your receivers. Get a top ten receiver. Don't rule out swapping Tony Romo with a QB with more upside. Aaron Rodgers or Jay Cutler comes to mind. Dallas will likely run more this year than they've done so in the previous seasons with Romo. You can win with L.T. and Johnson package. It would be tough, but the chances someone moves a elite back are slim to none so your better off hanging onto them and upgrading your receivers.
Okay heres my new situation, I have the following players. my friend wants to give me WR Roy Williams from the Cowboys for RB Ronnie Brown. Should I continue with this trade? I suggested giving him Ronnie Brown for a WR. His other WR are Johnny Knox, Andre Johnson, Giants Steve Smith, and Devin Hester. Should I do the Williams/Brown trade, or trade another one of my RB for Williams, or trade Brown for another one of his WRs? Wide Recivers Chad Ochocinco Derrick Mason Roddy White T.J. Houshmandzadeh Running Backs Chris Johnson Willis McGahee Fred Jackson LaDainian Tomlinson Ronnie Brown
