Analyzing Fantasy Football Team

What do you think about my team?

It's a keeper league (Keep 5 per year), 10 teams, max 16 players per team, each owner puts in about $30-$40 into a prize pot.

Usual starters in bold.

QB - [b861b1eb487]Michael Vick[/b861b1eb487]
QB - Byron Leftwich
[b861b1eb487]RB - Marcel Shipp
RB - Kevan Barlow[/b861b1eb487]
RB - Chris Perry, Michael Bennett, Tatum Bell, William Green
[b861b1eb487]WR - Chad Johnson
WR - Marvin Harrison
WR - Santana Moss[/b861b1eb487]
WR - Plaxico Burress, Matt Jones
[b861b1eb487]TE - L.J. Smith
PK - Shayne Graham
Def - Vikings[/b861b1eb487]

I'm 2-0 heading into week 3. I'm tempted to trade for Carson Palmer, but my main problem is not at QB, but at the running back position. I've gotten by the past 2 weeks because of stars at other positions, but I doubt I can hold on like this through the entire season. I think if I can land one above average back, I'll have a great shot at winning the league. I'm not sure what to give up...I don't want to give up any starters so that leaves me with future draft picks to trade.

League Scoring Rules (Offensive)

TD (Rush & Pass) - 6 Pts.
Passing Yards - .04 Pts.
Interceptions - -2 Pt.
QB Sacked - -1 Pt.
Pass Completions - .25
Russing Yards - .1 Pts.
Russing Attempts - .25 Pts.
Recieving Yards - .1 Pts
Recptions - .75 each

You're definitely going to need a running back if you expect to contend. I would actually try trading Vick for a top-tier running back. Vick is completely overrated. He'll have like three huge weeks, and then he'll have weeks when he sucks. Leftwich is a serviceable fantasy player, so even if you do try to trade Vick, you'll get decent to good production out of the QB position.

football is gay

I'll join you. I love taking thread craps.

I would try trading Harrison for a good RB. Plaxico is a solid 3rd receiver and you would be fine with Chad Johnson, Santana Moss, and Plaxico. Try something like Harrison and one of your RBs in return for a good RB/decent WR combo.

BRIAN WESTBROOK. thats all bitches

I was offered Mewelde Moore (now a starter), and my choice of Anquan Boldin or Michael Clayton for Marvin Harrison.

I don't really like any Minnesota RB because their running game is pretty weak no matter who has the ball. I would try to get a better RB.

You definitely need a stud RB. Don't trade Harrison, that Indy O is going to explode. I like the idea of trading Vick for a quality RB. Who is available on the trading block?

BTW- LT is a fantasy god. 33 points tonight.

In my league, he racked up 49 points. Which is probablly more than all my running backs combined for the first 3 weeks. LT was sick.

But you do need a good running back. I like Dunn, LT, and if you can get Cadillac then you are golden he was amazing in college and he is really tearing it up so far.

I agree, Cadillac williams is really off to a good start so early in the season..id suggest Steve Smith or Muhamed for WR probably beacuse im a Carolina fan but the stats speak for themselves..suggest Willis Mcgahee for your running game your going to need a good one

I'm set at WR, but the guy who has Cadillac and McGahee aren't willing to trade any of his backs cause he wants to keep them all. I offered Harrison for Cadillac and he wouldn't do it. It will be hard to get him cause he's at his highest value right now.

Vick is definitely not overrated, but Leftwich will be good enough at QB. RB should be your top priority. I like Warrick Dunn (I have him on my team) but TJ Duckett has been getting the majority of the goal line touches, which concerns me. Dunn has not put up big numbers yet this season. I am in a 14 team 3-RB league so it's pretty deep... for my third RB I start Brandon Jacobs (NYG.) He is the Duckett of the Giants... he's had at least one TD per game so far, except last night when SD shut them down. You should be able to find a more consistent back, but he's worth a look if he's a FA.
