Yahoo’s draft report card had statements like I should’ve auto drafted, I was completely unprepared, and I’m projected to go 0-13. I don’t think this team is THAT bad. What do you guys think?

Not bad for a 16 team league.

Don't sweat it. Last year, Yahoo said one of the participants in one of my leagues would go 14-0 and they finished dead last (and not because they neglected their team). They also predicted the two eventual championship participants would go 6-8 and 4-10. They create those "grades" from algorithms derived from how closely someone drafts to the Yahoo default rankings/projections.

Not that bad at all... But foles and Lemar Jackson are a pretty weak QB tandem in a 12 team... good chances neither are top 12... or even top 20... and I am a big Jackson truther, since running QBs are my thing...


your bench is weak, even when you substitute your gordons…

But besides that, its pretty good... everything is fixable through waivers... so I wouldn't worry at all...


edit: I know see it is a superflex, and you are starting Brady too.... that makes me like your QBs a little bit more...

Yeah, id say with the superflex aspect, it ain't good. The 4pt passing TD/6 pt rushing bumps Lamar a bit, but going with 2 QBs on primarily rushing teams (expected to be at least), wasn't a great idea. The advantages that teams who went for two guys that get 4500 & 30+ have over you won't be made up for by any possible advantages you'd gave at RB/WR..and honestly, think you could've done better there, especially considering many teams were going QB early and letting big time position players fall

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.

Fudge, usually those grades are based on how closely an owner drafts per their rankings.

The best experts are correct only 60% of the time. I think Yahoo is more like 53%.

You got questions at RB. Gordon (holdout), Fournette (down year coming off injuries), Miller (seems like low ceiling on that team) and Montgomery (rookie/unknown)

If 2 of those 4 pop though I think you are looking at a solid team

I see it about the same. He really needs M.Gordon to get on the field ASAP, but if that happens he has a decent team.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Melvin Gordon's holdout is expected to continue into the season.

Not great news...however, unlike some of the others, I'm not sure him playing saves you.

I'd say any team that got any two of Mahommes, Watson, Luck, Rodgers, Ryan, Rivers, Brees, Big Ben, Wilson, Mayfield, Goff, Wentz, Cousins, Cam, maybe even Stafford and Dak .have a minimum 10-15 point advantage week to week at QB/super flex, pretty tough for non elite guys like Gordon and Fournette to make up for. Beckham and Hill are nice, but the inconsistency of WR's having big weeks vs blah weeks just isnt what you looking for in that style

That makes me like the QBs less actually.

If Y! has Josh Gordon projected at 0 points all year, that might explain it.

That said, I think your team is pretty solid despite the QB issues. You should not be worried about going 0-13. If things go right, you will have a good shot at the playoffs.

Lots of risk on that roster however.

He has the potential to get trounced by teams that have two stud QBs. Really needs Jackson to become a star or trade for a better QB.

Just having a third qb in a 12 team league is a pretty nice advantage. As 4+ teams won’t.

And Brady has upside to be a top 10.

But remember I made my comment without seeing Brady on the roster and without seeing it was a super flex.

But I do agree that his qb situation is not ideal for a superflex. You definitely need more safety.

I agree.

If everything goes right, he could have 2 top 10 QBs and a solid surrounding roster.

If everything goes wrong, he has 3 bad QBs, 2 Gordons wasting roster spots on his bench and plenty more that could go wrong with his other stars.

Not a terrible team at all.

As I said, I kinda like it.

Then again: :noidea::noidea::noidea:
