My Fantasy Team in my Big League

themanej2001 · Aug 29, 2007

12 Guys in the League... We play at myfantasyleague.com

QB. Grossman and Schaub (QB Is the least important position in our league as passing TD's are only worth 3 points and rushing and receiving are 6. We make RB's and WR's the most important positions) We only start one

RB (2 Start 4 total same with Receivers)
Travis Henry
Willis McGahee
Vernand Morency
Mike Bell (Back Up for Henry)

WR
Deion Branch
Randy Moss
Bernard Berrian
Chris Chambers

TE's
Kellen Winslow
Desmond Clarke

Kicker and defense are irrelevant although I do have Vinaiteri who is a difference maker at the position...

I am a little thin at RB but if I have an injury I feel like I have Henry backed up... if Vernand starts at least I have a starter. I have 4 number on receivers and 2 don't have second options really on their team...

Kid wants to trade me Brandon Jacobs and Joey Galloway for Moss and Vernanad... what do you think?

I would jump at that trade and then turn around and trade one of your starting RBs for a #1 WR. Your WRs are awful and Morency is going to split time at best. You can then upgrade to a top tier WR by trading either Henry, McGahee or Jacobs and you should be able to get another RB back that will be comparable to Morency yet upgrade you to someone like Johnson, Harrison, Wayne, Fitz at WR.

I agree your WR's may be #1 guys on their team but none of them are top tier WR's. D.J. Hackett may be better than deion Branch, Moss hasn't been in camp at all so will have no timing with Brady. Honestly I'm not at all crazy about your QB situation either.

I would agree re QB. who is on the scrap heap for QBs?

I would do that trade themanej, Im not a big believer in Moss this season, not only bc hes a lazy piece of shit but because Brady will spread the ball around. Moss will be ok but he has to show me he wants to play. Gallaway has looked good with Garcia so far and Jacobs is obviously better than Morency as it looks like the kid from Nebraska Jackson may start over Morency... I like Berrian a lot, he will be a rock solid #2 wr in my opinion

even if you were the last guy to take a QB you should have no worse than guys like Rivers, kitna, Roethlisberger,or Eli. All of who I think are better than Grossman.

Judging by you first 2 picks (Henry and McGahee) I would say you drafted around 10, 11, or 12 in your league. So who did you take in the 3rd and 4th rounds? I'm assuming Moss and Branch. If that is the case than you didn't get very good value. Moss's Average draft position is the 6th pick in the 4th round and branch's ADP is the 8th pick in the 5th round. If you were going WR in the 3rd and 4th rounds you should've been able to get guys like T.J. Housh, Andre Johnson, A Boldin, J. Walker, Lee evans, Driver, Roy Williams, or Colston all of which would be better than Moss or Branch IMO. I have Moss as the #17 ranked WR on my projections, Branch is #21 on my list.

Same here, I typically rank the first class of guys, then group players. I have 6 WRs ranked, 8 in the next group and then 4 in the 3rd group, of which Moss is in, so I have ranked between 14-17. I have Branch in the next group of 6 WRs, so somewhere between 18 and 23. IMO, really poor 3rd and 4th rounders if you took Moss and BRanch.
