Rate my Team! 1.02, full point PPR.

[Bills04 56]

I was happy I got such an early pick.  I really want Taylor or Henry this year.

 

1.02 - Henry, RB, TEN

2.11 - Conner, RB, ARI

3.02 - Barkley, RB, NYG

4.11 - Sutton, WR, DEN

5.02 - Schultz, TE, DAL

6.11 - Thielen, WR, MIN

7.02 - Lazard, WR, GB

8.11 - Woods, WR, TEN

9.02 - Wilson, QB, DEN

10.11 - IND DEF

11.02 - Pierce, RB, HOU

12.11 - LVR KCR

13.02 - Winston, QB, NO

14.11 - Pacheco, RB, KC

15.02 - Engram, TE, JAX

16.11 - Robinson, RB, WAS

17.02 - Gallup, WR, DAL

 

Notes: QB I wanted, Herbert, went EARLY at 4.05..  So, Wilson was *my* last top-tier QB remaining.  Before Thielen - A-Rob 3 picks before; JuJu 1 pick before..  When I grabbed Indy DEF, BUF and NO DEFs already gone..  KC KCR went at 12.12!  Somebody did draft OBJ in Round 17.  CLE QB Watson went 16.01.  Only 2 QBs not drafted - HOU and NYJ.  No other GB WRs were drafted - Watkins, Cobb, or either rookie. //  Oh - 3rd pick was between Barkley and DJ Moore, WR, CAR..

Good job.

IMO, you could have helped your WR depth by waiting a couple more rounds on TE. 

[Ray_T 740]

yeah, your RB depth is as good as anyones. 

WR, not so much.   That is clearly the weakness of your team.  What you have not told is is how many RB/WR/TE/QB slots you start each week.  if you only need 2 WR maybe this team isnt so bad.  if you start 3....... well there are holes to fill.

but, if you can get a breakout WR on the wire, this could potentially be a winning team.   but as is.... probably not

About TE: "the big-5" were taken by pick 4.12.  I was looking at the dreaded "20-pick gap," and my best TE remaining was Schultz.  (Actually, he is MY overall top-TE.)

 

About WR: we only need to start two.  FLEX can be RB / WR / TE.  Two RBs, one TE for starting roster.

 

I did edit my post, and added that last comment about my Rd 3 pick.  I think Barkley is a very strong FLEX player, with him being a rare 3-down / no RBBC type.  Thielen now has an offensive minded Head Coach, and I expect both he and Jefferson will improve from last season's numbers.  Everyone is excited to see what Sutton can do with an actual QB - and, again, an offensive minded Head Coach.

WR is the obvious weak spot. Otherwise I think you are in really good shape. 

[Ray_T 740]

if hes only starting 2 its not as bad.   

one solid one in sutton.  the others are hit or miss, but I'm pretty sure one will turn out for him. 

a good waiver wire pickup may resolve this, so I'm not too worried.

[recespieces31 12]

I am with the others here. WR depth is meh.

If this is a 2 WR league, the combo of Thielen/Lazard/Woods will be decent WR 2s to pair with Sutton. However, your starting RBs can more than make up for the lack of depth at WR.

If this is a 3 WR league, you may want to think about trading Conner or Barkley to a RB needy team for a solid WR2 that way Thielen/Lazard/Woods combo will be a good WR3 with upside of WR2.

Just my 2 cents. Decent team overall though (except Engram pick )

he confirmed he only starts 2 WR.

so not so bad.     but hes needing to start RB in the flex spot, so that RB depth really will come in handy for him.

under these circumstances hes definitely a playoff team. (barring injury)

still needs  a  good waiver wire pickup at WR to take this team one notch higher.  but its an achievable goal.

[recespieces31 12]

Wrong thread. My bad.

[doughboys_2002 11]

Great Team, I agree WR are soft, but waiver wire can fix that in short order most of the time.
