I love Spiller, Bryant and Miller. You did well to pick them up. Ryan, Welker and Gore are solid but unspectacular options. My beef would be that you sacrificed needed depth at RB to grab a back-up TE and a premier back up QB, which are both unnecessary in a 10 team league. Also, I think your bench WRs have upside, but every one is an injury risk.

Overall, I give you a solid B+. This team could contend if the upside of your starters is realized, but you could be derailed quickly with a couple injuries. My advice would be to drop Dickson now for the best RB available. If he turns into Pitta Jr. (doubtful) then you can grab him again in a couple weeks.

I was thinking the same thing. Ryan is gonna put up big numbers, and I doubt you ever need Eli's services but for one week. You could've found a WW player for that week. Could've used that pick for another RB/WR

The trouble is definitely RB depth. Gore may be limited, FJAX is a handcuff and there's an excellent chance BJGE won't be the starter by the time the bye weeks roll around. If you can drop Dickson for a good RB flier (like Stacy or Andre Brown), do it.

Like the starting team but not the bench depth in a 10 team league, I personally am a big fan of Ryan this season. Blowing a 17 point lead to get the to super bowl last season, I think they put in the work and are committed this season

The Falcons have been held back by super-conservative Mike Smith for the last 3 years. They always talk about opening things up, but Smith just doesn't have the balls to really do it. If they had an aggressive HC, Ryan would be right there with Brees and Rogers in terms of his fantasy value.

Imagine Belicek as the Falcons coach? They would score 40 points a game with all that talent at the skill positions.

Thank you very much!

Although I do that my depth is pretty shaky, especially at RB. I will look into waiver wire and/or some minor trades to solidify my RB backup corps. I agree with you guys that Ed Dickson is expendable, too.
