10 team PPR. 6pts for all TDs. Start QB, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, TE, flex (RB/WR/TE), K, Def

My team:

QBs:
Tom Brady
Russel Wilson

RBs:
Darren McFadden
Micheal Turner
Ben Tate
Mikel Leshoure
Ronnie Hillman

WRs:
Larry Fitzgerald
Victor Cruz
Percy Harvin
Brandon Lloyd
Torrey Smith
Greg Little

TE:
Tony Gonzales

K:
Dan Bailey

Def:
Seattle


I think my RB depth sucks! I have plenty depth at WR but I can't seem to find someone to trade with. I thought I had a deal for Brady/Turner/Fitzgerald for Matt Ryan/Arain Foster but the other owner backed out. What do y'all think about Turner? Should I stand pat, or try to get make a trade. I'm willing to part with Fitzgerald, but I can't seem to find a trade partner.

Sell a WR for a RB.

Subtle 'rate my team' thread




Turner should be solid- I expect another 1000 yard 8-10TD year out of him

1300+ last year. You think he will hit a brick wall instead of a gradual decline?

I agree, but who? I've tried Rice, McCoy, Foster, Forte, Matthews, and Sproles. Would I be a fool to trade Fitzgerald for Fred Jackson or DeMarco Murray?

Leave it be. Turner is a fine RB2.

After a few weeks, teams will be busting down the door to get a WR. If Torrey Smith and Lloyd start out like people are expecting, you can probably sell them and keep the other guys.

Overrated as a rb. Big ole ghetto bubble butt is legit though!

Def brick wall, he's slow and fat now man. Atl has a new style offense that does not fit turner well

Jacquiz Rodgers is a FA, should I pick him up? And if so, for who? Hillman? Leshoure?

I'd drop either of those two for Rodgers.

Reggie Bush.

Moderate cost. Great for PPR. Primed for a big season.

Yeah, I'd drop Hillman for Rodgers asap.

ATL is changing there offensive mentality.

His 1300 last year (while good) really doesn't tell the whole story. Most of that was in garbage time and very little actually came during the first 3 quarters. I know yards are yards but against good teams and during important parts of the game, he struggled mightily.

Really? With the amount of depth, you have to be willing sacrifice.

Victor Cruz - out scored Fitz last year
Percy Harvin - wasnt far behind him
Brandon Lloyd - tons of potential to blow up
Torrey Smith - could do the same as Lloyd(just doesnt have the QB)


Fred Jackson averaged 16PPG last year, Larry averaged 12.

Food for thought.

Pretty similar to my starting line up. Just swap Eli for Brady and Calvin for Cruz. I think Turner will be a solid RB2 this year, dont get why everyone is freaking out, there acting like he finished outside the top 20 last year or something

I don't think Turner is a fine rb2 in a PPR.

I'm starting McFadden and Rodgers for week 1. Unless news comes out that Richardson or Mathews will start.

I figure my WRs of Megatron, Julio and Decker/Lloyd will carry me for week one. Especially against a guy with MJD and a bunch of injured players.
