For a 14 team league this team is pretty solid.

If it was PPR id love your WRs, I just don't see them scoring many TDs. RBs look good. When did you draft Flacco? Seems like there had to be someone better available?

Actually your team looks really good. Your QB is pretty weak I'm guessing you were like the last person to take a QB? But I agree with Rotinaj there had to be someone better haha?

Your RBs would be good even in a 10 team league. WR is a little weak but you have 3 guys who should get at least 800 yards and 5 TDs if not more.

RBs are very solid for 14 team league. Which, I guess is expected when you go RB, RB, RB to start.

WRs are a little weak, especially since it isnt PPR, because they will catch a lot, and have some good yardage games. But none of them will be targeted a whole lot in the red-zone the way a true #1 is. Decker should get around 8 TDs just cause Peyton will have 40ish this season. Nelson will have his bombs etc, but isnt going to be a TD target in the red-zone and same with Lance Moore (probably the 3rd option in the red-zone). Johnson is the #1, but its for Buffalo. They are going to have a tough time scoring 30 TDs as a team all year lol.

Id look to upgrade at QB or WR with Gore or Murray...but, if you stand pat you should be alright.

14 team leagues are so thin. Everyone seems weak, so waiver wire pickups become huge.

I predict you finish anywhere from 10-14 in your league. RB's are weak. Gore, although a good RB in real football, is pretty weak in Fantasy. Stewart is hurt, and Fred Jackson will likely be a non-factor. Too many WR's in Green Bay to expect consistent numbers out of Nelson. Decker is easily your best option at WR. Neither QB is very good in Fantasy football. I can't believe you took 3 RB's to start the draft, and didn't get better value. Had to be a big run on RB's, in which it would've been worth taking a better overall player.

I probably would have done it. Kap should be quite a bit better than Flacco this year fantasy wise and I am not a Mendenhall or Moore fan.

I agree with Zwick. It would of left him super thin at WR and in a 14 team league there isn't shit at WR on waivers.

Zwick who are the WR's available on waivers? I might have done it depending on what WR I could pick up to replace Moore.

I can answer that and I am not in his league. It's a 14 team league, there isn't crap on WR waivers right now.

Even if every team took 4, that's the top 64 WRs gone. More than likely some took 5 so somewhere between 64 and 70 WRs gone.

This isn't a normal 10 team league.

I'd have done it, dropped Tannehill, and picked up 2 WRs and hoped one of them could perform. Moore wouldn't be a starter over Nelson and Decker so you're giving up a little depth to have a big gain at QB. In a 14 team league where everyone is thin I'd have done that no question.

No I don't think it's awesome but to say in weak at RB.. Especially in a 14 team league... Is beyond retarded.

I know that its a 14 team league there could still be someone there. Nate Washington, Aaron Dobson, Donny Avery, Kenny Stills. All could an ok bye week fell in guys and are ranked around 64th or worse. I'd probably do it as well just because Kaep would have been a better upgrade then what he was giving up.

Kap is such a huge upgrade over the shit QBs you have you should re-send that proposal lol.

Plus, while Lance Moore is a great play on random weeks, Johnson will be more consistent as the Bills top target (even with crap at QB) and might end up being the better bench WR for you.

And I dont care if its a 14 team league. WRs that late are a crapshoot. There is stuff available, even if we dont see it right now. About 20 WRs will come out of nowhere over the course of the year and become viable options to play in a 14 team league. Its probably the least important position to have depth in going into the year in fantasy, imo.

Maybe they just really need another RB and have another quality QB?

I guess cause Mendenhall is suspose to be the starter and who else do they have there now that Ryan Williams is out for the year(I think he is too lazy to go confirm).

Zwick if this does get veto just offer that dude Mendenhall for Romo if he really needs an RB. It would still be a huge upgrade for you lol.
