chiefswarpath Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Get rid of Glennon and Fitzpatrick immediately! Why would you have 4 Qbs? I had VJax last year and he will have a few huge games but will have just as many 3-10 point weeks. You are counting on a too many guys to have breakout years. (all of you WR other than VJ) I am not a fan of Lynch or Morris this year so you really need Ellington to breakout as well. Not really liking this team, good luck though.

Stephenr15 Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 This is basically a 2 QB league which is why I took 4 QB's. I like Fitzpatrick because that was the best QB available to back up Palmer in case he isn't good or gets hurt. Also Fitzpatrick has a job with not much competition behind him to take the job. I like Glennon because I honestly don't think McCown is that good and he could get the job. When Glennon played last year he was serviceable. How can you say you dont like Lynch or Morris? Do you have a reason or are you just saying that? Overall I like my team because I am deep at the most valuable position RB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefswarpath Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Lynch comes with a lot of mileage and is a guy who relied heavily on TD points last year. He posted mediocre yards and had his yards per carry drop last year by almost a full yard from 2012. If he scores a few less TDs this year he will a middle of the road RB, a scary first round pick imo. There is a reason he is all over the so called experts busts list. I am higher on Morris but he saw a decrease in attempts, yards, and yards per carry last year. He also had his touchdowns cut in half last year when compared to the previous year. Woodhead in a non PPR league is not really that great and Fred Jackson is like 40 years old. Also, holding onto a teams backup QB because he was "servicable" last year is a reach.

jpc17 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) QB'S Andrew Luck - Has an easy schedule and has Reggie Wayne back. Should turn out decent. Carson Palmer - With Arian's very north south game, it should turn out well. Hopefully Fitz doesn't decline much more and/or Floyd breaks out. Ryan Fitzpatrick - Simply not a fan of Fitzpatrick. They will be relying heavily on the running game and if he struggles out of the gates, I see rookie Tom Savage taking his spot. Mike Glennon - Josh McCown... McCown also showed he has the arm, composure, and vision to make plays given he has receiver like Alshon Jeffrey, which in TB that would be VJax. Add in Mike Evans and I don't see McCown losing the job. QB Rating: Unnecessary to have 4 QB. There will be better options on the waiver wire as the season goes on. I personally would drop one QB, likely Glennon. RB's Marshawn Lynch - Getting old for an power runner. Regression is likely coming for Lynch especially with the team ready to groom Christine Michael (injured for now) to take over for Lynch. I could see his carries/touches decreasing as the season goes on. Alfred Morris - Morris is the definition of a volume runner. Needs 20+ carries/touches to become valuable. Helu will likely get more carries/touches this year and vulture a lot of goal line work. Andre Ellington - You need Ellington to break out. Without really any competition and hopefully solid play from Fitz and Floyd, he'll have room to explode. He closer to a "sure thing" at least. Danny Woodhead - Non PPR, his value basically just drops. While he is serviceable, I would see if anyone else is available. Fred Jackson - With Buffalo in total array, I like this pick. They leaned on him last year for goal line work and likely will again. Just be prepared for him to be nursing some injury every week. RB Rating: I would be looking at trades or the waiver wire here... Primarily for Woodhead. Is someone like Cunningham (potential to take over starting gig in St Louis) or Jonathan Grimes/Alfred Blue (Foster's backups since he gets hurt every season) available? Worth putting onto your watch list. WR's Vincent Jackson - Solid receiver but will give you headaches with his inconsistent weeks. Micheal Floyd - Hoping he breaks out this year but the way Palmer's arm is looking lately... it might be tough. Although Floyd isn't a deep threat like Fitz is so he might be alright. Terrance Williams - Showed a lot of promise towards to the end of last season. It should be a good pick but again, banking on his breaking out. Robert Woods - Not a fan of this pick. Buffalo in total array with no even semi-decent QB and an o-line that plays like they're playing highschool football. Immediate drop candidate. Marvin Jones - Broken foot so I hope you can stash him on IR. Not many players come back from a foot injury the same way in their first season back. May want to see if there are other options. WR Rating: 1 established WR, 2 breakouts needed, 1 solid but injured, and 1 that just doesn't make sense (IMO)... Not sure what happened here but your WR need some serious help. Is someone like Marqise Lee/Andrew Hawkins/Miles Austin available? They are somewhat under the radar and I would drop Woods for them in an instant. TE's Charles Clay - Not a fan of the Miami offense but at least Clay is one of the few bright spots. Should put up mid to low TE1 numbers. Tim Wright - Personally not buying the hype that he will line up with Gronk as the next "Hernandez". It will also take Wright awhile to learn the new playbook and execute as expected. TE Rating: Given you only start 1 TE, you'll be fine. I'm a homer since I own him but is Travis Kelce available? Overall Team Rating: Hate to be blunt here and you probably won't like it but I think it might be a struggle this season. Without any savvy trades or waive wire pickups, I have a feeling your team will be in the lower half of the standings. I would be looking to: Trade Morris for a better WR AND Trade Floyd + TE for Heath Miller (Expecting a monster season from him imo) OR Package Morris + Floyd for a better WR Drop Woods for another WR on the waiver wire Drop Glennon for another position (maybe TE) Good luck and take everything with a grain of salt. We all have our own gut feelings about our teams. Hopefully I'm wrong. Edited September 1, 2014 by jpc17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willswear3 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 (edited) Your team doesn't look great, but it isn't as bad as people are making it out to be. PLEASE don't do the trade the poster above mentioned, Floyd and a TE for Heath Miller. I don't know why he would think that is a good trade, but it is ABSOLUTELY not. Also, the thing about Alfred Morris needing 20 plus carries to be successful it just plain wrong. Last year he had 4 20 plus carry games, and he still ended up as one of the leading rushers. He also lead the league in 20 plus yard runs. Not something you see too often from a purely volume runner... you also need to remember he had 6 TD's vultured from him last year (3 by Darrel Young and 3 by Roy Helu both in ONE GAME) that sort of thing is a huge fluke, and shouldn't be projected to be repeated. Lynch does carry some POTENTIAL injury concerns, but you have to remember, he has been a power runner for a while, and hasn't been injured seriously yet. With the 10th pick, there is absolutely no problem with taking him, and the only reason he dropped is because people think he might get injured. Your 1-2 QB punch is pretty good, but I do suggest dropping Glennon. I'm not a big fan of your receivers, but they are your only major weak spot. The rest of your team is very average. I think if you pay attention to the WW and have a few breakout players you can challenge for a playoff spot.

Stephenr15 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) I agree Will. The WW is closed the first 3 weeks so I am going to stick with my draft till then. I will update as the season goes on and maybe I can get some help with WW add/drop and trades. Thanks for the advice all.
