QB: Philip Rivers, Matt Schaub
RB: DeAngelo Williams, Darren McFadden, Joseph Addai, Marshawn Lynch, Chris Wells
WR: Andre Johnson, Roddy White, Vincent Jackson, Santana Moss, Donnie Avery
TE: Jason Witten, Brandon Pettigrew
PK: Jason Elam, Josh Brown
TD: New England Patriots, Houston Texans
Overview:
In a competitive league, almost every team has a weakness. It's almost impossible to build a team that is strong at all three core positions (quarterback, running back and wide receiver). As you probably suspect, we perceive your weakness to be at the quarterback position. Of all the deficiencies to have though, this is usually the easiest one to mask.
Footballguys owner David Dodds even recommends you go into your draft with the goal of landing the top RBs and WRs while waiting to grab QBs late. Value-Based Drafting principles also suggest that teams constructed in this manner end up being strong. But for this team to reach it's full potential, you might need to have a quick trigger finger at the QB position and stay on the look out for good quarterback help. Last year guys like Matt Cassel, Tyler Thigpen, Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco likely went undrafted. Even Kurt Warner wasn't drafted in early leagues.
So although this team isn't perfect (few are), it should still be a strong contender.
Players we particularly like on this team include Roddy White, Donnie Avery, and Santana Moss. We have all these guys ranked ahead of where they are typically being drafted.
Bottom line:
* With great inseason management, we think you have about a 99 percent chance of making the playoffs.
* With good inseason management, we think you have about a 99 percent chance of making the playoffs.
* With average inseason management, we think you have a 93 percent chance of making the playoffs.
In any event, we wish you the best of luck. Here's hoping all your weeks are like week 8 of 2008:
Roddy White vs. PHI: 113 receiving yards, 2 TD
Donnie Avery vs. NE: 163 receiving yards, 1 TD
Santana Moss vs. DET: 140 receiving yards, 1 TD
DeAngelo Williams vs. ARI: 123 combined yards, 1 TD
Philip Rivers vs. NO: 341 passing yards, 3 TD
....apparently my team's weakness are my QBs... I guess having 2 possible top 10 QBs is weak.
