Grade My Team: The Bounty Hunters

[Tailback U]

10 team league, 6pts for all TDs.

QB: Aaron Rodgers

WR: Wes Welker
WR: Vincent Jackson

RB: Stephen Jackson
RB: Darren Sproles

TE: Antonio Gates

WR/TE: Percy Harvin

WR/RB: Rashad Jennings

K: Sebastian Janikowski

D/SPT: Philly

BN: Kevin Smith
BN: Jonathan Stewart
BN: Justin Blackmon
BN: Lance Moore
BN: Ben Roethlisberger


Looks like Smith and Stewart are already hurt but I think they will both have solid seasons once they get to 100%. Smith is always hurt, but he can be a decent spot starter the weeks that he is healthy and I need a bye fill-in.

I think Lance Moore and Blackmon are both solid depth WRs, I expect both to have some really nice weeks. It's only a 10 team league so I'm not sure if I want to keep Big Ben but I'll stick with him for now. Jared Cook and Greg Olsen are both on the wire and I think both could have really good seasons so I may snag one of them while they are still available.

What do you guys think? What kind of value do Smith and Stewart have? I really wanted Cedric Benson as my 3rd HB but he got taken right before my pick in a late round.

 

[Tailback U]

I'd really like to pick up Isaiah Pead to handcuff Jackson but I don't know who to drop for him. Should I drop Big Ben for him?

Jacquizz Rodgers is also available and worth a spot because he has a lot of upside, especially if Turner is banged up this year.

Not sure what I'm gonna do just yet but I'm leaning towards dropping Big Ben for either Rodgers or Pead.

PPR League?

 

[Tailback U]

No.

I really don't like the Wes Welker pick highly overrated in fantasy IMO. You got to hope Harvin stays healthy and a long hold out by MJD.

 

[Tailback U]

He had 1500 yards and 9 TDs last season. He went over 100 yards in 8 games last season, and he had 9 TDs in 16 games. He's gone over 1,000 yards in 4 of the last 5 seasons.

You can say you expect him to have a down year, but you can't really say he is overrated. He's as consistent as it gets and that's exactly what I needed and wanted with a QB like Rodgers.

Well I just don't see him putting up big numbers at all this season. With the 2 TE's fully intact with the offense and Brandon Lloyd can't see how much he can produce for FF.

You're an idiot.

 

[Tailback U]

I'm going to use this thread to keep track of my moves and season for fun.

Pre-Season:

I've dropped Big Ben for Isaiah Pead.

I really dont like 10 or less person leagues. I think 12 is the perfect number.

I get where you're coming from but I think Welker is the number 1 target on that team. Lloyd will be a deep thread, Gronk and Hernandez will get theirs because they are mismatch guys, but Welker is the slot guy and Brady's go to guy in certain situations. I fully expect him to get 1000 yards and at least 8 TDs. I don't need him to go for 1500 and 9 again like last season, I just need him to chip in every week.

I took him as the 3rd WR selected overall behind Calvin and Julio. Looking back, probably a little too soon but I just couldn't trust the other guys as much. I am really high on Brandon Marshall but I felt like it was too much of a chance. Like I said, if I don't get Rodgers, I'm probably drafting a different WR that has a higher ceiling.

 

[ThomasTomasz]

I like the team. Good value in Rashad Jennings, and hopefully he will get some carries early. Not sold on your RBs, as Jackson is close to the end and there is no telling how many points Sproles will get from week to week. I like just about everything else there.

 

[Sven Draconian]

I think Welker is easily a top 5 fantasy receiver

Calvin
Roddy White
Andre Johnson
Fitz
Welker

Touchdowns on a year to year basis are a little unpredictable. If it's a PPR Welker might be #1 because of his consistancy (Calvin has 1 elite season). Andre Johnson is coming off injury and Fitz has major QB issues. I think it's silly to ding Roddy White because Julio Jones MIGHT be better than him.

You suck ass.

 

[Tailback U]

You suck ass.

Since week 2, Welker has given 10+ points every single week.

It will be interesting to see if he maintains this once Hernandez and Edelman get healthy though. It is also assuming they do get healthy.

Part of me wants to trade him now in order to sell high. Thoughts? I need a rb.
