How am I looking? I know rb is weak. I had hunt but traded him for theilen before the browns signed him. Traded Crabtree and Humphries for howard. Didn't have a lot of draft capitol in this yrs rookie draft Dynasty Team

Your top 2 wr's are obviously awesome and Kelce is nice, but I feel like your rb's are too weak to be a true contender. I'm not sure that there's really any upside at rb anywhere on your roster either below the top 2. Coleman could get into rb1 range, but there's a lot of competition there and it looks like an all out committee for right now. Very unreliable and unpredictable. Howard should also be a solid rb2, but he also has competition from Sanders who will probably push for a committee that will get worse over time. A lot of risk and unpredictability there also. I'd be ok having either as a rb2 with upside, but I'd be nervous relying on both as my only starters. It's going to take a perfect storm of things to go right for them to both be adequate as your top 2 rb's, and it's conceivable that you have nothing startable at those spots. Still it could work out, and you shouldn't hit the eject yet.

I'm trying to think of what I'd do. I don't think I'd blow it up and rebuild. Maybe things hinge on hitting big on a rb in the 2020 rookie draft. Then you would probably have a couple year window. Another option is to see how the first quarter of the season is going, and if the rb's look like they're hitting ride the wave and if they look like they're struggling then sell out for as many 2020 picks as you can get. Sentiment seems to be that 2020 is going to be a monster rookie class, but I don't follow college close enough to have a strong opinion.

Yeah rb not spectacular. I'm hoping the positive words on rojo are not just smoke and that the Arian effect gives him a resurgence. Hoping my wr and kelce can carry me. Also hope one of my rookie te blow up and I can flip one of em or kelce for RB help. Having never have done a dynasty before I feel like I'm ok with potential to at least be early Rd competitive

I’m with PZ. You don’t have to rebuild but I would expect you to consider this year to be a frustrating season. Good enough to fight your way into the playoffs but no payoff in the end with those running backs. You can either get lucky with the next Lindsay or hope a tier 2 rookie rb in the 2020 draft breaks out on your team because you probably won’t get Etienne or Swift past the top 4.

Historically unlikely. The traditional take is that TE's are the position that take the longest to develop. It's more likely that the TE's value dips more before coming back up in a couple of years if they end up panning out.

Also, RoJo was awful last year. He had every opportunity with only super JAG Barber in front of him, and he couldn't even get on the field. Other people might see some upside there because he was a second round pick last year, but I have no optimism for him. I don't think he's suddenly not going to be terrible anymore.
