Well..this just seems weird to me..I think you severely overpaid for Ball..but you got Cook and Miller at an excellent value. Not to mention both defenses dirt cheap..but why both?? I mean you #1 and 1a in defense, granted they didn't cost m7ch and you obviously had plenty to spend..but why not on another RB? Or WR? ESPECIALLY WR??? You've got a lot tied up in Carson Palmer and Sam Bradford throwing to a rookie. A rookie, who will be the only playmaker on the team for defenses to gameplan for. That is a recipe for disaster. Really should've splurged for a better, more proven WR2. You made up for it with depth ay WR on the bench though, so at least you have options.

Overall I'd say a C..banking on one rookie RB is allright..two is pushing it, add in rookie Tavon as your #2..and your playing with fire. Would luke to see a backup for Ryan...would be a better use of a roster spot than one of your two defenses.

How many teams?

 

[TK21775]

It was a 12 team, although 3 guys were on auto so of course the first few picks went overpriced.

I agree with Treff. With the exception of Ryan, Fitz and your two D/ST, is seems like your team is all based on upside. Three rookies. Plus Richardson could be a health risk (and I do own him in one league). Lamar is unproven. Not saying that it can't be a good team. But too many risks for me.

You have good number ones, but after your number ones you dont have anything proven... the good news is that you have a lot of potential players who can easily outperform their value... I would rather have players like lamar miller and le'veon bell than d'angelo williams, BGE, and other veteran RBs... if this was your team going into the season, i could see you being a top half team(still not good enough to win the league)...

You've got a lot tied up in Carson Palmer

probably a good thing this year... Larry is my number 6 and I'm thinking that's too low.

5 bucks for MWTB? that's value!

 

[TREFF]

probably a good thing this year!

Come on TKO...putting faith in Palmer hasn't been a good idea in almost a decade. The guy is a statue, arm strength is almost shot, and ARZ O libe may as well be Oakland's, just change the color scheme.
