Would you break this backfield up for an upgrade?

Postby metallicat63 » Wed Jul 08, 2009 7:27 am

My 4th draft and thinking just like the rest of us nobody likes their draft spot usually.
This is the the team I drafted from 7th spot of 10 ESPN standard scoring league.I was happy enough. ;-)
STARTERS

QB- Aaron Rodgers,
RB -Steven Jackson,
RB -Brandon Jacobs,
RB/WR -Marion Barber,
WR- Marques Colston,
WR- Lee Evans,
TE -Jason Witten,
D/ST- Ravens
K- Ryan Longwell,


BENCH

Bench Earnest Graham, TB RB
Bench Felix Jones, Dal RB
Bench Devin Hester, Chi WR
Bench Ted Ginn Jr., Mia WR
Bench Matt Hasselbeck, Sea QB
Bench Joey Galloway, NE WR
Bench Kevin Boss, NYG TE

I am not wanting to break up the 3 starting RB's.Can't believe Barber fell to me that late.
Are my WR's good enough and hope my RB's pick up any slack?
I guess I want to know if this backfield is good enough to win with just Colston at WR1 or would you trade a back for another WR2?I was thrilled with this backfield and hate to give up too much and get too little in return.

If any ideas of who you'd trade or opinions on this are out there please post.WHIR! ;-D

hi,

ok 1st of all very nice team , amazing starters , ur RBs of course , Rodgers and yes M. Colston should be fine as WR1 and Lee Evans on WR2 is gr8 2 ,

but now the big BUT : i must say i think ur bench is pretty weak for a 10 team league , i mean ok now that u have Barber on ur WR/RB position u can move him up then to RB when the others have their byes but look at ur reserve WRs and RBs thats ( sry ) nearly crap , i mean i think galloways days are over and now in NE with so many excellent WRs in front of him i dont see any value for him , and Ginn jr. hmmm also doubtful for me , maybe hester now with cutler and if they really make him a "real" WR yes then maybe he could be a nice WR3 or maybe even WR2 ( cause as u write standard scoring so i think if he would stay the returner u wouldnt get points for return tds in that kinda league right ?)

ur reserve RBs , Graham , was nice 2 years ago since then medium at best and now with D.Ward in TB i think hes not going to have nice numbers but ok as a just 1 week bye week reserve ok i guess same with jones , with barber back at full health he should be pretty limited i think but ok ...

hasselbeck and Boss are nice backup options

my idea would be to put barber or jackson ( i like b. jacobs the most of ur rb trio ) on tradeblock for WRs and RBs and just watch what offers come if anything worth it comes like for example jackson or barber ( plus maybe ginn jr. ) for ronnie brown / larry johnson plus lance moore / donnie avery / kevin walter or so i would do it .. if someone makes those trades ... :D

i would hold tight. those RBs should make up for the deficiencies in your WR corps. as the previous poster said, i would actually be more worried about RB depth here than anything else. you have 3 injury prone studs and felix jones is your only reasonable backup option. its hard to imagine you'll ever need boss when you have witten, so i would think about trying to unload him and joey galloway for some RB3's. someone may be interested.
