My Fantasy Teams

[Joe5Flacco]

Ok so every year I join 2 different leagues and follow each league all year long and see how well i do....last year i finished in 2nd in one league and 5 in another....so here are my 2 teams this year which do you think has better potential?

NFL.com League Team:
QB: A.Rodgers, J.Flacco

RB: S.Greene, K.Moreno, D.McFadden

WR: D.Bryant, G.Jennings, P.Garcon(i hate the colts)J.Maclin, E.Doucet

TE: J.Witten, Z.Miller

K: J.Kasay

D/ST: Jets, Steelers


ESPN.com Fantasy Football Team
QB: J.Cutler

RB: R.Rice S.Jackson, F.Jones, J.Addai

WR: A.Boldin P.Garcon, G.Jennings, J. Gaffney, M.Flyod, E.Bennet, J. Jones

TE: J. Finley

K: R. Bironas

D/ST: Bengals, Falcons

Your second team is pretty beastly. Rice and Jackson should be formidable. I'm actually really high on Jackson this year. He can only go up, and I think he reaches double digit TD's. I like Boldin, Jennings and Garçon as well. You also have good depth with Floyd and Jones. Your TE is solid, as well as your D's. Ask anyone here on the boards that play FF, and they know I'm high on Cutler as well. Really nice draft. You could be looking at 1-3rd place.

As for the first draft, love the QB's, of course. But will Greene be a stud or a bust? He did play banged up defenses in the playoffs last year, so we'll see. Moreno isn't all that durable and his YPC last year weren't great at all. He failed to reach 100 yards in a single game all season, but he'll be the feature back in Denver. I'm just worried about Tebow stealing the goal lines, but we'll see. I see you hate the Colts but love Garçon. He's a safe bet, as well as Jennings, but I wouldn't start Dez. Miles Austin is still the man in Dallas, and will be for a long time. Witten should be a lock for 1,000 yards, but will he see an increase in red zone TD's?

Both solid drafts, but I especially like the second one.

@Romo Ravens, thanks for you input, it was very insightful and was a great analysis! And btw I'm a big Romo fan as well. Owned his jersey for a few years now.

You're very welcome, anytime. Just join the party over in the thread entitled, "ESPN Fantasy Football 2010-2011" if you ever want to talk some football. We love our FF, and we would enjoy more people.

My last name is actually Romo. Miles Romo. But don't worry, I get that all the time. Needless to say, I'm a huge fan of Tony.

You don't really have any depth on either one of your teams. Well I take that back. Your espn league is pretty good with Boldin and jennings and rice and Jackson. Thats good bro. I like the dez bryant pick. A lot of explosiveness there.

I hate McFadden and Moreno. McFadden has underperformed like crazy, and Moreno didn't average over 4 yards a carry last year and he is hurt. Not only that he lost Marshall to get people out of the box. But some people like him on this forum. Maybe its me. You better hope Jennings performs better than he did last year

Oh sorry about me assuming, but i guess i was kinda correct seeing as you are a fan of Tony

I would just give up on your first team and concentrate on your second team.

It isn't even a competition. Your second team is awesome, your first team is not so good. Do both leagues have the same amount of teams in it?

I appreciate your feedback i really hope Jennings does perform like last year and that McFadden stays healthy because injury is what holds him back, in league 1 I do need to aquire more RB depth.

Well that team as a whole just isn't very good unless you have dez bryant and Jeremy Mac work out. Trading flacco to a team with a bad qb isn't a bad idea. He is good trade bait. Maybe get a decent rb and pickup a Garrard or someone and hope your number 1 qb doesn't get hurt

I didn't know this was a 12 team league. Then your not as bad as I originally thought. Trading flacco might be a good idea though.

Well that explains the difference in the quality of your teams.

Injuries haven't been the only thing holding McFadden back. I've read numerous reports he runs scared and struggling running through contact. I wouldn't be surprised if Michael Bush outperformed him this season.

McFadden did well in College when he got the space to run. He can't create that space in the NFL. And he's finding that NFL linebackers are faster too. So he is really struggling with the contact aspect.

McFadden is a bust. Micheal Bush for MVP!

Agreed. I'm still hesitant to get any raider rb just because their offense doesn't move the ball very well so it doesn't offer many opportunities for tds. But if I was to get anyone I would get Michael Bush. You made me a believer

Agreed. Bush's production whenever he's been handed the rock more than 15 times is pretty impressive. It also further proves he's a better NFL runner than McFadden.

Well if you need any more belief, Bush averaged 4.8 YPC in 2009. Not bad for a guy who's passing offense was the worst in the NFL.

Yep. McFadden on the other hand average 3.4 YPC.

2nd team, hands down... that's easy to figure out why, though, b/c there's less teams... which team will do better is hard to say
