K Dan Bailey, Dal K
Bench Kevin Smith, Det RB Bench Ben Tate, Hou RB Bench Davone Bess, Mia WR Bench Ben Roethlisberger, Pit QB Bench Donald Brown, Ind RB Bench Evan Royster, Wsh RB
Your starters look very solid, and you have very solid bench players in my opinion.
Ben Tate will shine if, god forbid, Arian goes down. He is a very talented back, shadowed by one of the leagues best. K. Smith, if he can stay healthy, is a solid enough back to where you shouldn't worry if you have to start him. I have VERY high hopes for Bess. As for Royster, he's in Shanahan land. Good luck predicting when he will play. You have a better chance of winning the lottery, or affording the chance to hit Snooki and Justin Beiber in the face.
Thanks for the help. Also does anyone think I can get a trade for Gronkowski. I want to offer torrey smith and Gronk, for a. hernandez, and julio.jones. Do you think I could get that deal, and should I?
IMHO, Do not get rid of Gronk. You are in a PPR leauge and in my league last year out of all RB, WR, and TE there were only 3 (Rice, Calvin Johnson, Welker) who had more overall points for the whole season than Gronk.
You could certainly try. If I was in your position I would try to make that trade. But only because I don't believe in freak athlete Gronk this year, and I have a man crush on Julio's talent.
You have a pretty good team. Your strengths are QB and especially RB, as you have high end starters (McCoy, Mathews) as well as good upside on your bench (Tate, Royster, Brown).
You're WR's are probably middle of the pack, but they're still a decent unit. But if Reggie Wayne doesn't have much left in the tank, you may find yourself turning to Davone Bess more times than ideally necessary.
