Worth a try if I had more than 3 RBs then I'd be interested in Dalton, or Cameron if you decided to trade. As it stands I desperately need Miller though - and I doubt you'd be interested in trade for one of those two.
Jseadog if you win the entire league with that squad, one word: Respect.
Your RBs (except for Lynch) are not really good. Knile Davis will only get carries if Charles is injured, even then it's hard to say what he will produce. Moreno, I don't know, he seems like a guy who have had quite som injury trouble.
Your receivers are okay I guess. Torrey Smith should produce + 1000 yards and 5-7 Tds, Andre Johnson is getting older will be exiciting to see if he can keep up with basicly no QB.
Miles Austin, he will get a concussion in one of the first games and retire
Brian Hartline has his weeks, but he's mostly in the slots and won't produce big numbers. Decent yes, but not exceptionel.
Rest of the team looks good though

-Colin was a good pick for where he was (9th QB taken?), not the most convincing season fantasy wise last year but has lots of upside. And Schaub, you know I had to do it. I had to. Unlikely to give up much to make a move for another QB barring injuries.
RB: Charles, Ellington, Sproles, Brown
-Due to high draft position, easily the strongest position on my team. Two legit starters, Sproles has high upside due to versatility (would be more valuable in PPR, but still a flex option), and Brown may get some looks with Foster coming back from a injury plagued season. May give up some depth to seek some other positions if three or more of these outperform.
WR: Fitz, Hilton, Hopkins, Boykin, Hawkins.
-Solid but not special. And once again, I f*cking made mistake of drafting RB and WR from same team (not named Denver). Everyone here is available given a good deal.
TE: Miller, Fleener
-Probably a weak position for me. Both are serviceable but in a 16 team league they are semi-trash. Definitely interested in any offers here, may be willing to extend. Maybe.
K: Blair Walsh
-Again a pick where my target was stolen just a tad too early, so have to hope the AP-led offense gets stalled out a lot. Was okay last season, will be okay again this season I think.
DEF: Ravens
-No longer the juggernaut of a few years ago but I think there's still potential for an above average season. That being said with the smaller league it's completely possible to start a waiver wire option based on matchup any week.
--------------------------------
So, Kiurs, I'm looking at you. I may be thinking about:
Heath Miller + Fitz for Vernon Davis + ???
The ??? still has to be a legit starter for me to make it work, at least for now. Preferably RB or WR of course.

QBs- Rivers, Eli Manning- Chuffed with these two

WRs-Marshall, Garcon, Roddy White, Boldin, Steve Smith- Very pleased lots of depth
TEs-Kyle rudolph
K- Gano
DEF- Buccs, Packers-Buccs will go
overall im happy with this team

Need a better RB, happy with everything else really.
As for trades...
Stafford, Nelson and Thomas are no goes. The rest of my wide recievers are available for the right offer, as are all my running backs. McCown can be traded if I can get a better backup, while at tight end, kicker and defence I'll listen to offers but don't particularly want to offload.
In terms of what I'm looking for, basically running backs, running backs and more running backs. Oh, and a backup quarterback if the right guy is available.
Obviously had to be led by (Cam) Newton with Johhny Football waiting his turn if every needed.
For the RBs I had to make a small reach to get a Lion with Bush but also have injury reinsurance with Richardson, MJD, and hopefully the return of (Mr. Irrelevant is this year's draft) Mikel Leshoure.
At WR I went back to main man from last year AJ Green with a tandem of sophomore and rookie WRs that I hope will have breakout seasons: Tavon Austin, Marqise Lee, and Robert Woods.
Then went with the reliable point getter in Julius Thomas at TE with Eric Ebron as the backup with huge upset if the Lions use him to his fullest potential.
Legatron, Greg Zuerlein, is as safe as they get at the kicker spot and lastly...
Lions and Colts DEF because why not. I was waiting to snag the Texans DEF up but they got taken out from under me.
Overall, for drafting in the last spot I don't think I could have done any better. Very pleased with this. The WRs could cause a problem but the waiver wire is usually beneficial for that in the first few weeks of the season.
Feel free to send me trade offers but right now I really like my team.

I have to reject sorry, I don't really have any backup to Davis, and though he might be in decline this year, he's still worth quite some. I had Coby Fleener last year and he was so incosistent that it hurt me a crucial points. I like Fitz, but so far I think I'm pretty good. Might change my mind if Jeffrey/Megatron gets injured but otherwise I think I'm good.
Heath Miller will put up 700-800 yards, but I don't think he will make more than 3-4 Tds. I have to reject for now

So far I think I like Mre's team the best. Im not sure Austin will be the #1 WR though, but he's quick and he's bound to have a couple huge scoring weeks atleast, especially since he'll get a few carries each game too.
Fair enough Jacob, I can see why there's no need to shake up your roster. And Yorkshire (I think that was jph), I had to decline your offer. It's nice to see you try to solve that same team mess but I can't afford to give up a quality RB at this point. Unless it means getting me a better TE.
That being said Fitzgerald is on the trading block. I'm looking for a top 7-8 tight end if anyone's intersted

Hmm. Well, I have Jordan Reed who is top 8 in my opinion, but to be honest I could only let him go as part of a trade for a running back. Fitzgerald would be interesting if I didn't already have 4 guys I'd be happy starting - and Josh Gordon if he's not suspended all season.

Thanks valv, although I know you just like my team because I got 2 Rams.
My only concern is having 3 risky inconsistent scorers in Newton, Bush, and Austin. They can all go off for mega points or be duds any given week. Hopefully they balance each other out and I never have a week where they all suck.

Your team does look pretty good to me. RB looks like the weakest spot, but it has a lot of potential if things go right too.

It isn't an attack, just a review of Mre team, and why he won't win.
QB: Cam Newton + Jonny Football
Newton is coming off an severe ancle surgery. If we look at his weapons they are nothing special. The RBs: Jonathan Stewart + DeAngelo Williams. None of them are McCoy, AP, Charles. They are decent, but with these 2, Newton has to throw the ball.
WRs: Jason Avant, Jerricho Cotchery, Kelvin Benjamin. No top receiver. Kelvin Benjamin could turn into one, but the odds of having a really really good season as a rookie is very low. Newton has to throw and the receivers won't really make it easier for him.
Johnny Football has potential as fantasy scorer. But will he start? And when and how will he adapt to the NFL? I don't see him making huge fantasy points this year already. Too much party and not enough football.
Reggie Bush will split carries with Joique Bell, no doubt about it. Reggie Bush will be a very good number 2 RB in fantasy, but Bell will take both TDs, rec and rushing yards away from Bush.
Richardson and MJD, come on. MJD is not the fantasy monster he once was. He will split carries with McFadden as well. Richardson hasn't impressed anyone since he was traded to Colts. Poor running, poor acceleration, no power, low average yard, often has to split carries. Sorry your runningbacks are really a weak position. Leshoure, Im not sure he will the squad.....
AJ Green, very good WR.
Marquise Lee, usually rookies dont make very good fantasy points, and we have already heard of Lee haven't problems giving a 100 % on each player. Bortles will get the starting job, but it will take time for him to develop. Henne won't do a lot of passing, so even if Lee gets lots of reps he probably won't be able to make big numbers.
Next guy is Robert Woods. Woods is number 3-4 receiver right now. He is behind both Williams and of course Watkins. EJ Manuel hasnt showed he is a franchise QB right now, and he still needs a lot of things to learn before even getting near top 10. He won't give Woods lots of target, he is a sleeper Woods. But don't count on him every week, especially not in his position.
Tavon Austin could be a good WR this year. But he is a slot receiver, he isn't a guy who puts up huge numbers each week and he probably won't do 10 TDs. He is a sleeper guy as well, potential yes, but a WR which can perform high numbers week after week. No.
Julius Thomas, great pick. He will surely make a lot of TDs if Manning stays healthy, maybe your strongest position. But a TE wont win the league for you.
Zuerlein makes allmost all his kicks, and with that Minnesota offense he might get to kick some long as well.
Defense: Colts + Lions. Meh, not gonna be that good. Colts suck, just look last year: Chiefs!!! made more than 40 points against them in playoff and they are without Mathis their sack leader.....
I'm a Lions fan and the Lions secondary, it's soo bad that it hurts myself. They haven't even adressed the problem this offseason (oh yeah they got a CB in the fourth round gj...). Their secondary is so weak that even Blaine Gabbert can put up 3 TDs against it. So what will AROD and Cutler do against them? Not gonna be pretty.
I can't see you win the league with that exact line up. If you do I will post a picture of me eating a hat.
