TE Gronk
D/St Ravens
K Carpentar

BE Ryan Matthews

Thoughts on my team? What do you think I should change?

 

[SteelersPride]

wry with potential, get rid of sims, and taliaferro, they are worthless chips, what else is out there on the rb wire.....torrey smith is not a good play IMHO, royal is a great pick up, landry is a PPR guy not td guy, whats out there on teh waivers for wr

You're fine for now, but I worry very much about both Peyton and Gore late in the season. Peyton looked awful down the stretch last year. I think he'll set the world on fire like he usually does to start, but the long season seems to bother him earlier every year lately. And Gore is 32 with plenty of wear, and on a new team. Given what the Bills D did to opposing RBs last year he might not even make it to Week 2. (And RBs under Pagano have been unusually brittle for whatever reason.)

Ryan Mathews might end up being a great player for you, though. I disagree with SP about Taliaferro - Forsett doesn't have much of a track record for such a veteran player, and if he falters the Ironcutter should be nice. High-ceiling guy on your bench=good.

But I'd drop Sims for the Colts' Josh Robinson ASAP. Not a fan of handcuffs generally, but Gore just looks like an accident waiting to happen. Sims inspired zero confidence last year, so no point having him in a 10-team league.

And you need another QB behind Peyton. Or if you could trade him "down" for a guy like Brees or Romo or Ryan, and get some slight improvement somewhere, I would. Especially if Peyton starts off hot.

Is Boom Herron a FA? Fred Jackson? Christine Michael? I'd handcuff if I could rather than rostering so many backups and waiting for an injury.

if he falters i want buck allen NOT taliaferro IMHO, buck allen fits trestmans O exactly, thats why they drafted him

That's a good point - but it's a question of when. Taliaferro's experience will probably keep him ahead on the depth chart for a few weeks.

 

[ChickenNuke]

A little weak at WR, but a good rb core can help carry you.

 

[Hambombs]

I do think I'm weak at the 2nd WRs spot. Hoping allen Robinson has a breakout year. Also pretty shocked I got Gronk 17th overall

 

[Hambombs]

Also liking Jarvis Landry this year

 

[ChickenNuke]

Trusting any Jacksonville player can be scary. Maybe try and get a WR2 or someone with potential like Tate, Maclin, J Brown or Desean

I take Robinson over all of those guys, hands down. Robinson's ceiling is far higher than anyone mentioned above. Maclin is safer and Brown is really good too, but don't be afraid of Robinson's team. He could really go off this year.

So speaking of potential. How do you like my team? And what would you do with this team to try to get better?

funny i like robinson AND hurns this year

 

[Hambombs]

Picked up Gore's handcuff dropped sims

 

[Chef99]

Hey, I like Taliaferro. Got a good chance to be a goal line guy. Allen hasn't shown anything yet.
