    16 - Jeremy Hill - RB - CIN
    33 - Jonathan Stewart - RB - CAR
    40 - Jordan Matthews - WR - PHI

    I'd be nervous running with Bradford as your only QB given his injury history.

    Yuck.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

    I'll elaborate. You have one QB with a very bad injury history, and you've also double down on two of his wideouts so if he goes down (and on your bye) you lose a huge chunk of offense. You've also doubled down on Jaguars, which I guess is a cue that you are high on Bortles, but I am not. You also have several guys playing against your fantasy defense in the playoffs.

    Now, this was enlightening regarding your opinion. Thank you!

    I'm taking a chance with the eagles because of the number of plays they run, that's why they were rated high on my board. As for QBs, I don't care much about them (should have mentioned it's a 4pt per pass TD league). Never drafted one high, always replaced them with nice enough production from waiver guys. QBs are easily replaceable, there's no much drop in production.

    About the jaguars, I'm high on Robinson, Hurns is pretty much a dart throw, as I've read some good things about him.

    Some tilt during my draft picked a defense high for me instead of the next guy on my list. I don't care much about the Cardinals this year, but I'll play the matchups with some waiver picks.

    Really appreciate the feedback! Thanks!

    Hurns might be good but as IlluminatusUIUC eluded you're double up on WRs team, I tried this ages ago with Scott Mitchell, Michael Jackson and Brett Perriman in Baltimore and it cost me severely. So now I rarely double up QB/WR/RB on the same team as it puts too much pressure for the Eagles to be on every week. I'd try and move Nelson Agholor and Martin for a solid #2 RB and maybe and a WR who might step up this year (see a Robert Woods type). You might be wise dumping Hurns and getting a back up QB. I'm also indifferent about your RBs. Hill was great down the stretch last year but DeAngelo might get limited carries after Week 2. Martin has a chance but I am sour after having him last year and not sure their OL has improved enough and playing with a rookie QB spells a lot of 8 in the box defenses.

    I see your points about doubling on WRs. This is the first time I'm trying it, maybe I'll end up being burnt by it.

    The trade suggestions are noted. I guess Martin can have a couple good games due to volume, since Mike Evans is still sidelined, and matchups (TEN, @NO).

    Just one thing: I don't have DeAngelo subbing for LeVeon Bell in Pittsburgh, it's Carolina Panthers' Stewart.

    Whoops, sorry. Stewart is a question mark. I prefer him as a #3 than a #2.
