Re: Rate my fantasy football team
Your weakest position by far is going to be RB.
How many teams are in this league, I'm thinking based on your team it's either 10 or 12.
You're very deep at WR with Austin, Wallace & Marshall.....if I were you I'd be thinking about trading one of those guys and any of your RB's not named Michael Turner in a 2 for 2 deal, where you upgrade at RB at the expense of your WR strength.
Mathews, Stewart & Best all have high bust potential. I'd trade one of those guys and one of those top 3 WR's for another high level RB and the best WR the guy will throw into the deal

Of all the preposterous assumptions of humanity over humanity, nothing exceeds most of the criticisms made on the habits of the poor by the well-housed, well-warmed, and well-fed.

Re: Rate my fantasy football team
Is this PPR?
Running backs look pretty awful, but you never know, Mathews could turn it around this year and go nuts and Best has a chance if he's healthy.
Running back tends to be the most overrated position in fantasy football anyway, you can draft straight garbage and still take down your league by pouncing on opportunity from injuries watching the waiver wire.
Unless you can land one of the top lead backs who have few injury concerns I never take a running back with a 1st or 2nd round pick anymore.
There's like 10 to 12 teams in the NFL that still use a lead back, everyone else uses a committee of varying degrees.
Out of those 10 to 12 guys, a few have pretty big injury concerns and a couple don't get many catches out of the backfield.
A couple of the other guys are really starting to rack up mileage and are prime candidates to fall off.
Another 2 are relatively unproven and have consistency issues.
Basically, to me, there's maybe 8 or 9 backs I'll take at all in the 1st or 2nd round, at least in PPR leagues and maybe 3 of those guys I consider a big risk but I can't really pass them up.
Besides those guys specifically, I'm going with WR's and/or a QB.
I won 3 leagues alone last year without a RB in my starting lineup that I drafted early, if at all.
Granted I was super high on Arian Foster and drafted him in every single league I was in, but in 2 of 3 leagues I had Frank Gore and lost him and in all 3 leagues I lost my 1st and/or 2nd round back due to injury.
The point being, although backs are super important, it doesn't mean you waste high picks on them to win championships and a lot of times the best point per week guys come out of nowhere.
