My FF Team

lee909 · 07-21-2013, 03:30 AM

Wow,i have just joined a new dynasty league and have to my great shame taken over the Steelers in the leagues North division.
Im pretty sure the red headed stepchild of Al Davis and Jerry Jones was in charge of the team before me.Its a 12 team league and im stuck with Roethlisberger as my starting QB and Chad Henne as back up.

He was deffo a massive homer when it came to drafting
I have decided to keep
Ben Roethlisberger QB PIT
Rashard Mendenhall RB ARI
Steven Jackson RB ATL
Reggie Bush RB DET
Calvin Johnson WR DET
Cecil Shorts WR JAC
Ryan Broyles WR DET
Heath Miller TE PIT
Clay Mathews LB GB
Roman Harper S NO
Stephen Tulloch LB DET
Charles Johnson DL CAR

Cut
Chad Henne QB JAC
Larod Stephen-Howling RB PIT
James Stark RB GB
Brandon Gibson WR MIA
Santana Moss WR WAS
Dan Bailey K DAL

Now my initial though was to draft a QB early and some help at TE and WR and try and steal a long term upgrade at RB.Then i noticed a trade had been made last year with Dallas for Ryan Tannehill and the plans crashed.I have no first round draft pick this year as he traded it for Tannehill,okay i can sort this.Tannehill has alot of upside in the next year or two.He cut him a week later for Henne as it was a emergency trade.He also attempted a trade for MJD offering C Johnson in exchange but luckily it was Vetoed
I should have had Vernon Davis till he traded him for Santana Moss,i do have a second pick in the second as part of the Tannehill trade as it was Tannehill/2nd round pick for Freeman/1st.

Its going to take some work to get this disaster back on track.May even require a Jimmy Johnson/Herschel Walkerstyle trade with Calvin Johnson.
