    Can this team make the playoffs?

    QB - Matt Ryan
    RB - Ryan Matthews
    RB - Matt Forte
    WR - Calvin Johnson
    WR - Julio Jones
    RB/WR - James Jones
    TE - Owen Daniels
    D - Seahawks
    K - Matt Bryant

    BE - Mikel Leshoure (RB)
    BE - Michael Bush (RB)
    BE - Steve Smith (WR)
    BE - Eric Decker (WR)
    BE - Josh Freeman (QB)
    BE - Phillip Rivers (QB)
    BE - Lawrence Tynes (K)

    Roster currently is weird with two kickers and three QB's but I had a huge number of byes this week. Im 2-4 so you think I can make a run for the championship with this squad still? 10 team league as well

    for a 10 team league, you're really weak at RB. At WR, you are pretty solid though. You HAVE to trade for a RB

    I would consider trading James Jones and maybe Morte or Bush for a #1RB or the best you can get. I would have Leshoure at flex anyway

    anything can happen, seen alot of worse teams, alot of luck involved in ten team leagues, need to win
    those bye weeks and get a 1st round bye if u can.

    Hard to trade for rb these days unless giving 2 top guys

    Eh I dont think anyone would be willing to part ways with a top 8 running back for James Jones and Forte

    I don't see any reason why it wouldn't. Looks like a pretty solid squad.

    A lot of luck period, no matter the size of the league.

    For example. Last week, my opponent had 2 players get hurt in game, and limited them to mediocre days. They were Trent Richardson and Brandon Lloyd. I won the week by 10. Escaping bad days by Matt Ryan and Tony Gonzalez. Percy Harvin helped salvage the win for me, and pushing my record to 6-0 this season in my 12 team league.

    So luck plays a good part in succeeding in fantasy sports.

    You got alot of players that will probably get hot soon and get hotter as long as they stay in contention for the post season, like Calvin Johnson, who hasn't done much yet, but will get going soon, especially for home games. It's still pretty early and you got time to turn it around. You will need to make a trade though and pick up at least one solid running back.

    I bet you could at least have a shot at getting any RB other than Foster, Rice, or McCoy with the package of Forte and James Jones. Jones is tricky because most people know he is going to lose a lot of value once Jennings gets back. So i'm not sure how crazy people will be about him.

    Love my team moving forward as long as Richardson stays healthy, but I'm just afraid that I won't crack the top 4 with the hole I'm in now.

    I wouldn't be quick to sell Forte high. Really like him as a high end number 2 moving forward. Seems to be close to full strength.
