Pretty solid team. It's hard to say who's a contender and who's a pretender without seeing every team but I definitely like this squad. I think it would be safe to say you've probably got the best WR triple team in the league. Holt and Fitz are both easy top 5/6 WR's and then to top if off you've got Roy as a #3. If (big if) Roy can stay on the field this year he should be huge in the Martz system. I do have a few concerns for your team though. First off, both of your QB's are ancient and very injury prone. Both put up decent numbers when they're on the field but there's a good chance you won't have either of them at one point this season. Secondly your RB depth is a bit suspect. I like Ronnie as a late first rounder and Kevin Jones is a good pick for the value you got (I'm guessing he was your 4th rounder). However I'm a Detroit homer and even I don't have any faith in Jones. I don't wish injury on anyone but I think a high ankle sprain to another Jones boy could do your team a world of good.

 

Overall I'd give you a 7.5-8/10 but I'd be looking to make a move if I were you. There is no reason why you need someone as good as Derrick Mason sitting on your bench. I'd suggest trying to move Roy (I think Mason will out-produce him anyways) along with either Marion Barber or Ced Benson to the JJ or TJ owner for an upgrade at RB (maybe someone like Dunn/Dillon/Taylor) and whatever throw in WR he will give you.

 

Good luck!

Yeah my QBs ages scare me as well. Warner could produce big time (I hope!!) but he is fragile. Surely BOTH won't go down. Why no faith in Jones? Aren't some pundits saying he'll bust out this season under MMartz?

I just thinks he lacks vision and doesn't hit the hole that hard. He's also got alot to work on when it comes to catching the ball out of the backfield (a huge part of the Martz system). Don't get me wrong though, he could very well break out. I'd just feel a little better about him as my #2 if I had atleast a somewhat stable RB3 behind him. He's also had a problem staying on the field in his first 2 years. Then after your #2 RB all of your others have very little value unless someone goes down. I'd trade Barber before Benson though. Benson will be huge down the stretch.

 

I'm no expert though and you definitely got a good team. If you're happy with it then go ahead and hold tight for now. With that WR group you will have trade bait all season long.

i think you are pretty solid except for the RB position. Any possibilty Wali Lundy is available, pick him up. Also i would trade away Roy Williams too, get a decent backup RB for him.

Doesn't Tuna supposedly "love" Barber? and is just itching to pull the trigger should JJones slip.
