Rank My 2nd Team

  • thePITman
    Here is my team in the 10-team league. I had 8th pick. Standard scoring.

    QB - Matt Ryan (Atl)
    WR - Reggie Wayne (Ind)
    WR - Marques Colston (NO)
    RB - LeSean McCoy (Phi)
    RB - Maurice Jones-Drew (Jac)
    TE - Marcedes Lewis (Jac)
    W/R/T - Matt Forte (Chi)

    K - Garrett Hartley (NO)
    DEF - Philadelphia Eagles

    D - Patrick Willis (SF)
    D - D.J. Williams (Den)
    DB - Eric Berry (KC)
    DB - Michael Griffin (Ten)
    DL - Justin Tuck (NYG)

    BENCH:
    QB: Matt Cassel (KC)
    WR: Mario Manningham (NYG), Pierre Garcon (Ind), Davone Bess (Mia)
    RB: Ryan Matthews (SD)
    DEF: Atlanta Falcons (got off waivers, dropped Zach Miller/TE)

    I know I have 3 bench WR's and 1 bench RB, but I have 3 very solid RB's starting in RB/flex and wanted to have the freedom at WR. I will look to pick up another RB and drop Bess (if I find one worth picking up). I liked Bess last year at times, and I think he's going to have a good year soon... just not sure when.

    Available RB's are: (I'm assuming Bess is the player I drop)
    Tashard Choice (Dal) - Behind Felix Jones who many predict to have big year, but I see them splitting carries.
    Darren Sproles (NO) - A 3rd string RB on a team that passes every down and shares the ball?
    Justin Forsett (Sea) - Backing up Marshawn Lynch. I don't know much else about him.
    Jason Snelling (Atl) - Had a few big games last year spelling Turner, but I see no consistency.
    Ricky Williams (Bal) - Running behind top-5 RB Ray Rice, Williams likely won't get many chances.
    Thomas Jones (KC) - I have him in my other league. Who knows...
    Marion Barber (Chi) - Not sure where he fits in with Forte and that unorthodox offense.
    Ronnie Brown (Phi) - New scenery, but behind LeSean McCoy, who I have.
    Delone Carter (Ind) - Thoughts? I know many boards had him fantasy draft material.

    Also, obviously Matt Ryan isn't a top-tier QB, but with Julio Jones and Roddy White, I think their deep passing game may increase and improve his fantasy stock. Do I need to trade for a better QB? I had Ryan last year, and he was very consistent, just didn't have the huge game. Thoughts?
