I just traded RG3 for Kaepernick straight up. Good trade?

Pretty even depends on who you like I think RG3 playing at his best is better than Kaep but thats just me. At least you don't have to worry about Kaep's week one availability.

Would be nice to have a 'Rate My Team' thread to post on, instead of everyone making a new topic for it. Let's see if this sticks.

I'm in a 10 team league. 1 qb, 2 rb, 3 wr, 1 te, 1 k, 1 dst standard scoring. I picked 3rd overall and 1st round has to be a keeper (Spiller, Lynch, or Megatron) from last years roster. I took a chance with Spiller and his upside. Landed SJax in the 2nd and AJ Green in the 3rd....

Starters:
QB Luck
RB Spiller
RB Sjax
WR AJ Green
WR Cruz
WR Milke Williams TB
TE J Cook
K B Walsh
DST Denver

Bench:
Big Ben
Reggie Bush
L Miller
Vereen
Vincent Brown SD
Broyles Det
Dobson

A little worried about my WR3 and TE. Thoughts?

No idea how you got Bush and Miller on top of Spiller/SJax/Green/Cruz but well done. If you want to upgrade WR, you can probably get someone to bite on Miller or Bush (I'd prefer to give up Miller) + M Williams. I like Cook so I think you're fine but again you could try Cook + Vereen or something for an upgrade. I don't see any holes really. Good job.

Thanks! I was getting crap too for taking 3 RBs in the first 4 rounds lol. Just shows how much this league doesn't favor RBs. They all think filling the starters spots are more important than RB depth. Think I got AJ Green in the 3rd, Bush in the 4th, Cruz in the 5th, and LMiller in the 7th! I ended up dropping Dobson for Sudfeld. I noticed you mentioned in another post he'll take A Hernandez's touches and I'm banking on that as well.

2 RB
2 WR

Heres my team (Picked 5th)

QB
Drew Brees

RB
Jamaal Charles
Lamar Miller
Le-Veon Bell
Ahmad Bradshaw
Giovani Bernard
Bilal Powell
LaMichael James

WR
Reggie Wayne
Cecil Shorts
Vincent Brown
Emmanuel Sanders
Ryan Broyles

TE
Jermaine Gresham

DEF
St Louis Rams

Kicker
None

Great RB depth (I like to stack up on RBs as well) but not balanced enough. I like Gio a lot so I say trade Bradshaw for an upgrade at WR. I like Shorts but Shorts + Bradshaw could probably get you someone nice. Otherwise you'll be at a disadvantage most weeks at WR. Any other TE's available? Gresham doesn't look rosterable to me this year. Is Sudfield still out there? I'd prefer him. He should get a solid amount of targets since he's going to play Hernandez's role this year.

And this is a perfect example of why you stock on RBs. Bell is hurt (extent unknown at this point) and Miller is in the dog house and isn't producing as well as projected so far in the pre season. WRs come up out of nowhere and you can get a guy like Kenbral on NE who has potential to do big things this season. Nice draft. I agree your WR are a slight area of concern, but V Brown, Broyles and Sanders have the potential to break out, which gives you upside. As for your TE, I'd look at Sudfeld as well. Fred Davis is intriguing, as is Heath Miller who might come back a lot sooner than previously thought. They're saying he's going to practice before the season starts and he was a TD stud last season. Oh yeah, and Cameron from CLE. He's looking great in pre season. One or two of those guys could easily out perform Gresham. Keep tabs on them if they're available.

Agree, wash. I think RG3 has more upside as well, but Kap is the safer play. Can't go wrong either way, though I personally don't like Kap.

Please rate my team. This was a 14 team PPR league. I was pick 13. That late, my options were limited in rbs. I just decided to load up on the 2 best WRs after Megatron.

AJ Green
E. Sanders
S. Vareen
Sproles
J. Cook

Bench:
Hartline
Josh Gordon
Kembrell Thompkins

DJ and Chronic,

I apologize, I don't play in PPR leagues, so my input would not be beneficial to you guys. Can someone else with PPR experience rate their teams?

14 Team PPR League

QB- Big Ben
RB - Stevan Ridley
WR - Megatron
WR - Dez Bryant
WR/TE - Roddy White
TE - Gronk (Housler for now)
QB/RB/WR/TE - Alex Smith

Coming away with three of the top 7 WR i think i made a killing. Was offered Ray Rice for Dez Bryant. What do you guys think?

I dont love your starting WR's, a lot of boom or bust there....but if Cruz gets/stays healthy thats huge. Your bench WR's have a chance to be really good though. I think Michael Floyd is gonna make the sophomore jump under Arians.

Can't decide whether to start Dalton (@ Chicago) or Freeman (@NYJ) this week, any advice?

Just picked my keeper league team (long time posters may remember this league --- keep 5 guys a year with no penalty). I started behind the 8-ball in a 10 team league (2 RB, 2 WR, flex; standard scoring), with Newton/Gronk/Murray/Sproles/Cruz as my keepers AND by not having a 2nd round pick. I think I salvaged things, though.

Newton
Murray / Sproles / Miller / Ingram / Moreno
Cruz / S. Smith / Shorts / Givens / Mi. Floyd
Gronk
Pats DST
Greg the Leg

My own thoughts:
- I didn't think Lamar Miller would last the 6th pick for me, which helps out.
- I've been bitten by Ingram before, but as my RB4 I don't mind him. He's looked better, and the Saints are starting to realize he's a guy who plays better in space than as a between the tackles runner. I figure that if Sproles falters (he is 30), then Sean Peyton will be looking Ingram's way.
- I was staring at Steve Smith and Josh Gordon with my 2nd pick (in the 3rd round). Had to take Smith for the yardage consistency given my situation, and felt good about Gordon falling one round further (he's way too low in ESPN's standard rankings). He went with the next pick. If either Givens or Shorts pops, I'm trying move Smith for Gordon if I can.
- I'm going to have to drop Moreno or Michael Floyd for a TE (I'll stream TEs for the first couple weeks). I'll wait and see how things shake out in Denver (at least as much as possible) before making the decision.

That's a killer team in a 2 QB league. You managed to get two top 10 QBs without sacrificing anything in terms of starting RBs/WRs, which should never happen in a league like this. Do you think it's possible to replace one of your boom/bust WRs (Britt or Broyles) with Bryce Brown?

14 Team PPR League

QB- Big Ben
RB - Stevan Ridley
WR - Megatron
WR - Dez Bryant

Do you really only start one RB? Also, surely there's someone other than Housler out there at TE. Isn't he injured?
In a PPR league with normal starting slots, I'd pull the trigger on that trade in a heartbeat. However, if you can use QB as a flex and only have one starting RB slot, then RBs become significantly devalued.

Who are your backups?

Not bad in a 12-teamer, but man are you taking some risks with your top WRs and RBs. Not a single safe guy in the bunch (well, Andre Johnson is safe to be a top 20 WR, but that's about it).

There's no reason to roster Rivers. Dump him for a handcuff or a high upside WR. I actually like Knile Davis quite a bit. He showed some moves on a punt return that got called back last week, and could do some good work if Charles goes down. I'd also dump Hartline. Even as a WR4, he has neither the safety you want in a starter nor the upside you want in a bench player. Who are the WRs available on the waiver wire? Look for a guy like Kenny Stills or Nuk Hopkins -- guys who you can dump in the first couple weeks if a better option comes along, but guys with the potential to be top 30 WRs (Stills needs an injury, but Colston and Moore are both injury candidates).
