Ppr or no?Good job drafting but I am sure all teams are stacked since its 8 teams.Areas of concern are with your running backs. You should have grabbed Andre brown, Fred Jackson. You need to protect your stars.Cutler sucks...I would have grabbed Vick or Smith or or...and I am a bears fan.I like your depth at wr and rg3 is a stud.Gl

No PPR.  I can&#x27;t trust Vick after last year with all the interceptions.thanks for the help.

IMO -- in an 8 team league you might be light in your WR position as well as your QB position (as a whole. RGIII is good but what happens if he sits out a few games early and / or gets hurt? I ado not like Cutler as a 2nd option).

mattbrot · Answer

might also be light in RB (only because it is an 8 team league).but what the hell do I know?  Good luck

Yea i agree with both above statements....

Depth at running back is a little lacking , and the "safety net" if RG3 goes down is a little concern.

What is the parameters for your starting lineup every week?

I like your team, but as mentioned previously, in 8 man leagues most teams appear stacked.

QB - A

You got one of the best in the business in RG3. If he is on the field, you know you are going to get elite production. I question whether he will run as much this year. But on the bright side, he seems to have good chemistry with Garcon. Additionally Fred Davis is back. This guy is elite

RB - B+

You got 2 very good starters. Spiller has not even scratched the surface of his potential. Hopefully, Shanahan sticks with Morris and doesn't pull one of his moves and all of sudden you see Roy Helu or Evan Royster ball out.

WR B

Marshall is a bonafide stud. He'll catch just about anything thrown his way and catch TDs. Garcon provides fantasy gold when he and RG3 connect. After this there is a dropoff. But, on the bright side you have some guys with upside.

TE - C

Just another average TE. If you don't have Graham, Gronk, Witten or Gonzo, everyone else is exactly the same.

D - B+

Elite defense. They get a couple dates with the Jags and they added some guy named Ed Reed.

Bench/Flex - B

Again you have some upside players here. Bernard or Wilson would be terrific flex plays if their situations get stabilized. I see what you are trying to do with a Cutler - Marshall combo, but would like to see what else is out there besides Cutler. Your back WRs may have an undervalued guy. Stevie Johnson will have a career season in 2013.

Overall, its a really good team but I'd like to see some others out there. if you're up against a guy who had the #1 pick and he's got AP/Ridley/MJD as a 3 headed monster then you're toast.

other QB&#x27;s that are left are Freeman, Flacco, Bradford, Schaub, Rivers, Vic, and alex smith

Vick as backup

bizkilla · Answer

You may want to play some transactional defense and pick up Vick so no one can use him against you. No one in an 8 man league should own Jay Cutler (unless they&#x27;re attempting to do what you seek to do).

Cpt_Obvious · Answer

Thanks for the advise but Vick got picked up because he didn&#x27;t want Vick used against him.

maybe rivers as insurance

I think theres 2 issues here that stand out the most to me: QB, and TE.
With it being only an 8 man league, this combo of RG3 and Cutler is absurd. There has to be a better QB available than Cutler and I wouldnt have drafted RG3 without a solid 2nd option...he easily can get hurt.
At TE, so many better options than Bennett. I disagree that they are all the same after first 4. Jordan Cameron of the Browns could be a sleeper even in non-ppr leagues and so could Zack Sudfeld of New England with no Hernandez and possibly a hurt Gronk.
I know I only said 2 but I also not too fond of Houston...but thats a personal opinion...I actually pick a different D throughout the year depending on who they play.
Good luck.

HutchEmAll · Answer

I would favor Freeman over Cutler as a back-up.  Agree with most of the posts here.  I&#x27;d be nervous with Wilson as a back up RB in an 8 team league.  I do think Bernard is going to win the job with Cincy so you probably will have a starter there eventually.
