Ask DR U: Championship or Bust?

Tim asks, I am in a standard Yahoo format league, can you rank my team?

QB Tony Romo
QB Matt Ryan
WR Calvin Johnson
WR Roddy White
WR Bernard Berrian
WR Patrick Crayton
WR Hines Ward
RB Maurice Jones-Drew
RB LenDale White
RB Jonathan Stewart
TE Jason Witten
TE Donald Lee
K David Akers
Def San Diego
Def Tampa Bay

DR U:  Your quarterbacks both have strong upsides and complement each other well.  Romo is an ideal fantasy starter, and Ryan is more than capable of filling in for him on his Bye week.  Calvin Johnson gives you a star fantasy receiver, and if Roddy White can pick up where he left off in 2008, then you are stacked at wideout.  Bernard Berrian, Patrick Crayton, and Hines Ward give you great depth.  I like your running backs with Jones-Drew and Stewart anchoring your team.  LenDale White will likely see a dip in his fantasy numbers from 2008, but he is still a more than serviceable fantasy back.  You are obviously set at tight end with Witten. 

Overall, I think your team is solid.  If your starters can remain healthy, then you should be in the running for making the post season in your league.  I would rate your team a B+.

    I don’t think there is nearly enough depth at RB. MJD can be a monster but it’s still unproven whether he can carry a team as a #1 starter and Stewart shares reps with Williams just like Lendale. I think you are going to be hurting come mid-season. Romo always starts fast but fades at the end of the season when you need him most. Hopefully you can trade one of those def for another RB. Berrian, Crayton, and Ward will be hit/miss all season.

    I’d have to say about a B- and hope you can pick up more RB depth later.

    I am in a keeper league of 10 players, and I hope you will rate my team. I know it is not the best, so I hope I can hear from you before our draft week. Thanks!

    Your WRs need help ASAP! Hardy should not be on your radar in a 10 team league. I’d see if your league has overlooked some talents like Earl Bennett or Devis Thomas. Also, what is the point of having Detroit’s DEF? I’d pick up a useful player instead, unless your moves are very limited.
