Rate my team - Give trade advice

[riffraff24]

Hey guys - I appreciate the advice I already received in a previous thread. Like I mentioned, this is my first year doing fantasy. Below is the squad I drafted...

I waited until round 5 or so to pick up my QB and got Matt Ryan. I feel confident in my RB and WR selections, but not so much in my TE, Flex and bench spots.

Any suggestions? Should I drop LaGarrette Blount?

QB – Matt Ryan (ATL)
RB – Arian Foster (HOU)
RB – Darren McFadden (OAK)
WR – Julio Jones (ATL)
WR – Steve Smith (CAR)
TE – Fred Davis (WSH)
FLEX – Shannon Greene (NYJ)
D/ST – Packers
K – Rob Birones (TEN)
Bench – Titus Young TE (DET)
Bench – David Wilson RB (NYG)
Bench – Alex Smith QB (SF)
Bench – Kendall Wright WR (TEN)
Bench – LaGarrette Blount RB (TB)
Bench – Kyle Rudolph TW (MIN)
Bench – Michael Floyd WR (ARZ)

championship contender, but would help to know if ten or 12 or 8 teams or ppr

No idea how u got foster, mcfadden and then julio, so i assume its a ten team league?

You should only drop blount if there is a better free agent. So keep him for now

[riffraff24]

Thanks for the input dude! It's a 12 team league and I had first overall pick. Snake draft so I picked twice in a row except for the first round. Scoring: H2H Points

[k13]

So Mcfadden got picked 24th? lol

[riffraff24]

[Wrigley]

How did McFadden not go until the 24th pick

[k13]

How did McFadden not go until the 24th pick

Because he's still ranked 28th on ESPN.

That's all you need to know.

Yahoo has him at 6th now and he NEVER gets past pick 10.......

Very solid team. I expect you'll eventually start David Wilson over Shonn Greene once he overtakes Bradshaw.

Yes...Also Kyle Rudolph over Fred Davis per LT Profits suggestion...

[RyanLeafOfBets]

I think Rudolph is due for a very solid year, but I still don't rank him ahead of Davis. GL though!
