Rate my team

I am in a 10 person league that went 16 rounds...I had the 4th overall pick. Points system pretty standard....6 points for touchdown, 10% of all rushing yards, 5% of all passing yards, -1 for each interception or fumble...etc

My team consists of (haven't decided on a starter yet in a few positions)

QB
Jeff Garcia
Trent Dilfer
RB
Ricky Williams
Tiki Barber
Clinton Portis
Dorsey Levens
WR
Rod Smith
Quadry Ismail
Jeremy Shockey
Antonio Bryant
Keenan McCardell
Antwaan Randel El
Koren Robinson
Byron Chamberlain
K
Adam Viniateri
Def
Dallas

We start 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, k, def.....TE's included as WR

Any input appreciated

That's a pretty dam solid team!

Dallas as a D and Bryant as a WR are kinda iffy, IMO. Then again you are carrying 6 WRs, I'd trade one for another RB. Barber concerns me.

Good QB in Garcia and doesn't throw many INT's Be a solid person for you. I'd dump ole Dill Hole and pickup another QB if possible.

Here is your problem. Barber is hurt, played hurt most of last season as well. Levens is probably backup/cleanup. Portis is a big ??.

R. Smith is a good WR, McCardell should see some action opposite K. Johnson. IsMail is an iffy because I do not know how good QB he will have throwing to me. You have a lot of no name WR's that you might be able to use for bate or drop and pickup someone a little more dependable. I'd go for a different RB first, then a different WR. You are not in BAD shape, but I'd like to see a few more name brands that are dependable.

Is Freeman of Philly still available? If so pick him up. He would be better than some of the other WR's you have.

Well, Ismail will have Mr. Peyton Manning tossing him the ball... Not bad, eh?

Im looking at picking up both Muhsin Muhammed and Kevin Dyson and dropping Chamberlain and Levens....TE's count as WR's in this league anyway.......

smart move or no?

[slowkidz]

I like Chamberlain's odds in Minnesota...With the only other real threat right now being Moss, he could be in for a good year. Him and Culpepper started getting together last year and I think it should carry over...I would look at picking up another RB just to back up those you have...Freeman would be a good pick up if available, or even D. Bates, Dyson, Stokes....all should be good no.2 WRs....

Why the need to 'bump to the top' if you are going to post something again only a minute later?

Not really. Muhammad is a WEAK #1 WR for CAR, Dyson is an average #2.

If you drop Levens, that only leaves you with 3 RBs; you'd better get some more. You have too many WRs already. Check your point system again, you will get more points from your RBs than your WRs.

Antonio Bryant is definitely replaceable. Maybe a sleeper next year, but not this year.

You are hurtin a RB. Williams is a stud but even he concerns me. Norv Turner will be running the crap out of Ricky and that could be good if the O-line does its job but if not injuries could come into play. But anyway barring no injuries you have only 1 solid RB.

Tiki shares time and is banged up already.

Portis fumbled enough times already that Gary will probably start week 1 and will probably share time anyway knowing Shanahan.

And 1 equation for you:
Dorsey Levens + Bad knees + Vet Turf + Backup = 0 points.

Find a way to trade for RB's. Even is you have to trade a good WR. RB's are scarce, WR are a dime a dozen.

Good Luck!
