12 Team Auction League (w/ $ paid). 0.5 PPR. WHIR.

[VeganPhilosopher]

Hi guys. I'm looking for feedback on my roster (obviously). I would be grateful for any help, and I will gladly return the favor (just link your roster thread in your post).

12 team auction league ($200). 0.5 PPR, a couple bonuses for long field goals and big games, but otherwise standard scoring. Start: 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 FLEX, 1 D, 1 K.

My roster:

QB: Robert Griffin III ($12), Andrew Luck ($9), Russell Wilson (waiver claim)
RB: Arian Foster ($48), Trent Richardson ($29), Frank Gore ($12), Kendall Hunter (waiver claim)
WR: Victor Cruz ($34), Miles Austin ($17), Pierre Garcon ($12)
TE: Jason Witten ($11), Jacob Tamme ($9), Greg Olsen (waiver claim)
D: Atlanta ($1)
K: Matt Prater ($1)

Thanks in advance for any and all comments.

QB: Obviously it's tough to know how well Luck and Griffin will do, the colts will be playing catchup a lot this year and he looked good in the preseason

RB: I like your top 2, Gore is a feature back, may lose some carries but you have Hunter

WR the depth would scare me a little, Cruz' case of the drops Wednesday worries me a little, but he got a lot of targets (this may be a the Hicks owner in me talking), like Garcon and Austin

TE: I understand wanting depth, especially with Witten's spleen, but I don't think carrying more than two is necessary, I would consider putting a claim on a WR to add depth there, depending on your Waiver system Ogletree would be worth a look if he ends up being a poor man's Laurent Robinson he would help with bye weeks and whatnot, If he flames out you can always drop him for someone else.

I think I agree with Lando on the TEs. No reason to carry 3 (I'd actually probably keep Olsen over Tamme).

Your QBs also worry me a bit. Three rookies and, if they all flame out (although odds are at least one won't), you're gonna be in a bad spot.

I'd think about dropping a TE and Wilson (he's gonna be the worst of the three) and adding some depth at WR and RB if you can.

If you got Foster for only $48, I'm wondering where all the money went in your league. That's really cheap.

One too many tight ends for my liking. Not a huge Richardson fan, but I could be wrong there. Seems like you'd want 1 more WR given Austin's supposed hamstring issues (I had him last year, he had 3 TD's in week 2 then didn't play for like 5 weeks).

Thanks a lot for your response on mine! For the most part, you're roster looks pretty good. Although it's far from certain who will be better between Luck and Wilson, I really think it's only necessary to have one backup QB. I think Luck will have a better season and he has the starting job locked down, so I would keep him. Similarly, you definitely don't need 3 TE's on your roster. Personally, I would only have Witten on my roster even though he is injured. But, if you wanted to keep 2 TE's, I would keep Olsen over Tamme. If everyone is healthy, you have a pretty solid starting lineup and I would rate it 7/10. That being said, I think it would be worth it for you to pick up some sleepers or high-upside players off of the waivers, such as Jacquizz, Little, etc, if they are available.

Good Luck!

Everyone else has already commented on the TEs, so I won't jump on that apart from saying that I would trade Tamme and keep the other two.

Your QBs are risky in my opinion, only because you don't have a proven player in there. There is just no NFL history to base them on. They are definitely a high risk/high reward play. That said, I think you were smart with your money instead of paying for hype (I imagine Rogers, Brees, Ryan and Newton were too expensive for the ROI).

Otherwise, good roster.
