I just rated my team and I have pretty much no chance of making the playoffs. Everyone loves an underdog though!
Likewise hahahahaQuote:

To make this team into a serious contender, you are going to need to be extremely active in trades and on the waiver wire. You esentially need to turn over significant parts of this roster. Last year running backs like C.J. Anderson and Jeremy Hill could be had dirt cheap at the draft. Additionally, wide receivers like Odell Beckham, Jr. and Brandon LaFell were available after a lot of the drafts. Quarterbacks like Ben Roethlisberger from last year and Nick Foles in 2013 could be had cheap just after draft time. You are likely going to need to land many of this year's top waiver plays to make any significant noise, so pay close attention to increased workloads, targets, injuries, etc.Players we particularly like on this team include Latavius Murray and Mason Crosby. We have both these guys ranked ahead of where they are typically being drafted.
Bottom line:
- With great inseason management, we think you have about a 40 percent chance of making the playoffs.
- With good inseason management, we think you have about a 20 percent chance of making the playoffs.
- With average inseason management, we think you have a 3 percent chance of making the playoffs.
Last year it said I'd win 4 games. I made the play off final! All about your management through the season I think. Teams will all change by the play offs. Can't wait for the new season to start. Only a few more weeks.Quote:

Definitely! It's a shame we're so geographically dispersed as it would've been good to do some kind of meet up for the games one week!Quote:

Your squad is therefore easy for us to like despite a bit of weakness at the receiver position. But as weaknesses go, this is one is survivable. It's usually relatively easy to find fill-in guys on a weekly basis until a better player emerges during the season. As long as you stay on top of things inseason, you should be among the top teams in the league.
Players we particularly like on this team include Ben Roethlisberger, Javorius Allen, Kyle Rudolph, and Blake Bortles. We have all these guys ranked ahead of where they are typically being drafted.
Bottom line:
- With great inseason management, we think you have about a 75 percent chance of making the playoffs.
- With good inseason management, we think you have about a 60 percent chance of making the playoffs.
- With average inseason management, we think you have a 41 percent chance of making the playoffs.
Relatively happy with that!
Excellent news. Season hasn't even started and I've lost two players. I guess you can count me out this year since there are very few players left over in a 16 team league.Quote:
