WR's are terrible for 8 team league

 

[bodey24]

WR's are terrible for 8 team league

I agree.

 

[Danlaff777]

Really? Considering we only start 2 WRs and one of them is Randy Moss i don't think they are remotely bad. Peterson/Westbrook/P Thomas are going to start in my RB and Flex spots - and i would think between these guys im set for only 2 spots:

Randy Moss (easily a top 5 WR with Brady)

Vincent Jackson (rated the 12th overall WR in my league last year)

Anthony Gonzalez (has the starting spot in indy with Harrison gone)

Antonio Bryant (rated the 7rh overall WR in my league last year)

Lance Moore (rated the 15th overall WR in my league last year)

 

[bodey24]

I would be interested to see the whole draft. I would think with only 8 teams you could have drafted a better #2 WR.

 

[Danlaff777]

as you can see they went really quickly - I wasn't going to take Welker or Williams over Pierre Thomas in a flex league ... so to begin round 7 it was VJax, Ocho, B Edwards, Berrian ... personally, i hate ocho and edwards. Lotta talk and they were both god awful last year.

I'm not high on Vincent Jackson. I would much rather have him as my #3. You've got some good RB's so I guess its ok to go RB 1-3 since you have a flex, but 8 team league you could've gotten better value waiting for that #3 RB and getting a top #2 WR imo

 

[Danlaff777]

its a flex league - we can start 3 RBs, which scored a ton more points than WRs in our league last year.

12 RBs scored more than 200 points in our league last year.

3 WRs scored more than 200 points in our league last year.

I take the #3 RB all day.

 

[chrisslabaugh]

I realize that and edited my post to take that into account

 

[Sgt John]

WRs totally blow, but at least its not PPR.

 

[Danlaff777]

im kind of in shock here at all this WR hate. Do you guys not have Randy Moss as a top 5 WR? Hell he could be #1 again easily this year.

Let's say i took Welker, Roy Williams, or TO as my #2 WR instead of taking Pierre Thomas - are they going to be THAT much better than VJax? They were all worse than him last year, Welker is an 1150/8TD guy at best, which is what VJax could easily have this year since he almost had those numbers last year (1100/7TDS).

Who is this great #2 i am missing that i could have had?

 

[chrisslabaugh]

A healthy LT and a healthy Gates is going to dramatically cut into Jacksons #'s and he'll be closer to 07 then 08. Jackson isn't better then a #3 WR in 12 team leagues to me although he'll be drafted much higher. Like I said, really don't like him as a #2.

 

[bodey24]

If Hasselback can stay healthy I like Housh a lot more than I do Jackson. I also like T.O., R.Williams, and Welker all more than him too.

 

[cctekguy]

You asked for advice and you're getting the opinions you asked for...

Why Are You Arguing?

I gave you a D...Don't take it personal.

 

[Sylock]

QB: Could have waited on Rodgers IMO. He's around number 6 in QBs for me, so you have one of the worst, 6 of 8, starting QBs in your league.

RB: AP and Westy are great! Here's hoping Westy stays healthy. If he does then you'll have 2 top 7, or so, backs. Pierce is a situational back, good for bye weeks on your top 2 guys. If got him as around 18-20 out of the running backs, meaning he's in the better part of the number 3 RB (in an 8 team league). So no win for Thomas, but a win for your other two backs.

WR: Moss is my number 1 WR. Your second reciever isn't that great, but I'm not sure that's a problem for your league. Jackson, like you've said, is number 12, meaning he's a middle of the road #2 WR in your league .... meaning as your number two, you didn't 'win'.

TE: You have the number 4 or 5 TE.

Overall, you win in RB, average in WR, average in TE, lose in the QB, and lose in Flex, as far as I can see. So you are better than a C, but not quite a B. Somewhere in the B- to C+ range in my eyes.

 

[bodey24]

I think Rodgers will be a top 3-4 QB this year. So that was a good pickup IMO.

 

[tblGoBlue]

I gave it a B, I think you have a solid starting lineup with exception of WR2, but Gonzales could turn into a WR2 pretty quick. You are lacking depth at any of those positions though, so if injuries hit any of your key players you're in trouble. Also I would look for a better QB2 than Ben. You may want another TE also as Clark has injury issues.

 

[comegetDATnguyen]

I think you should play in a bigger league...

 

[ExperiencedRookie]

I think you should play in a bigger league...

Agreed. 8 team leagues are for chumps. Get in a 12 or 14. That's fantasy football.

 

[JackG1980]

You could have done better... You should of drafted Tom Brady instead of Westy, and Witten instead of Rodgers and Ronnie Brown instead of Thomas... and Holmes instead of Jackson, R. Bush instead of Clark, Ocho cinco instead of V. Jackson. You team could have been

QB Tom Brady (Top 3 QB)
RB Peterson (Top 3 RB)
RB R. Brown
WR Moss (Tops 3 WR)
WR Holmes
Flex Ocho Cinco/A. Gonzo/Moreno/R. Bush/A Bryant
TE Witten (Top 3 TE)
