Tk3 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 (edited) Here they are! I eagerly await the tears! Championship Contenders: 1. Pirates - Most fearsome passing unit in the league with Mahomes/Reek/Fitz/ARob. Defense still has some holes in it, but the offense will win this team enough games to secure a spot in the playoffs and a great chance at another title 2. Sharks - This is one of the best teams in the league that is probably being overlooked right now. IMO, this is a top 2 defense with bigs names in every unit, plus it has the offensive firepower of Russ/Godwin. 3. Squirrels - Another very strong team, Watson will carry the offense and Aaron Jones exploded this year. The defense doesn't have the sexy names that the Sharks have, but it has no weak spots at all. Another top 5 defense and I forsee an improved offense 4. Direwolves - Strong offensive core of Lamar/Saquon/Antonio/Kelce. Above Average/plus on OL, DL, and DB. LB are the weak spot on defense, but shouldn't hurt the unit too much Playoff Contenders: 5. Jagwads - Brees is still Brees, and Edelman and Kittle will give him some targets to throw to. Solid defense all around. This isn't a sexy team, but it will be right there come playoff time 6. Mammoths - Strong core of Brady/Jacobs/Keenan Allen. Oline looks solid. Front 7 is average in my opinion, but the DB group is very strong. Should be above average on both sides of the ball 7. Thunder - Someone has to win the division, Khodder is my frontrunner. Rodgers/Chubb/Thielen will be an underrated unit that will manage to put up some good results. The defense is solid which gives them the edge over the Fire in the Blue division 8. Ravens - Rivers/Cook/Hopkins/Golladay is less sexy than some other units, but it WILL be effective here. Front 7 will be a strong point on this unit, but the DBs cause me a little concern given the offenses they will be facing.9. Rattlers - Another team that lacks starpower and sexy names, but is just flat out solid everywhere. Cousins will be great and has strong receivers. Defense has a couple holes, but the unit is loaded with players that overperform their name value in the NFL 10. Starfell - This is another team that would look a lot better if this was 2018. Wentz/Gurley/Woods/Watkins are a solid unit, but doesn't strike much fear. They do, however, have the best defensive player in the league, along with a number of other defensive players who were stars 2 years ago. I'm curious to see how that holds up, but this division is wide open and I'll call them the tentative favorites11. Fire - I know I shouldn't count pwny out, because he has a fantastic track record, but this team still has a LOT of holes, and while Goff/Thomas/Julio are FORMIDABLE, I think its a big ask for them to singlehandedly carry this team. Lots of easy wins in the division could keep them in contention12. Trash Pandas - I think they have a chance this year! (don't let me down). Jimmy/McCaffery/Davante are going to be a really solid offensive unit, and he took care to put an oline around them. The defense is a little underwhelming, but boy am I rooting for them to outwin their previous seasons COMBINED. Plus this division is littered with 8-9 win type of teams, which gives them a shot 13. Predators - Again, someone has to win the division. Their offensive unit is okay, but they have an excellent front 7. I think the defense wins them some games and Matt Ryan will do enough to not lose them games Better Luck Next Year: 14. Saints - I don't know wtf to do with this team. Ben/Bell/OBJ/Gordon/Von/Ramsey. I assume the regression among the stars will limit their ceiling and keep them out of the playoffs. They will be a real test case for me as far as valuing recent production vs overall production15. Papermakers - This is one of the teams I am most unsure of, and it will hinge on how Kyler performs in the sim. Zeke is a star, but I don't love any of the other weapons on offense to help Kyler out. The defense has a couple big names, but the other pieces are underwhelming to me. I think they will have trouble in what is definitely an up and coming (probably already here) division 16. Venom - This team feels just okay to me. Maybe that will be enough in Yellow. Stafford is solid, Henry is on the rise, but the WRs are just okay for me. The entire defensive unit just feels average to me. Maybe they surprise me, but I don't see either side of the ball being above average 17. Sonics - Top 5 defensive unit, but an offensive unit of Winston/Gordon/Cooper does not inspire confidence in the difficult red division 18. Royals - A couple nice pieces on defense, but assuming he continues to only play Dak for 7 games, I don't see that offense being able to do much this season 19. Eskimos - This looks like a fun team, but not one that will win games. Plenty of strong youth, but neither unit is ready to really compete yet. Kamara/Nelson/Brown/Bosa are a wonderful group of young keepers, although I would like this team better as a speculative keeper team in an even numbered season than an odd. 20. Knights - Much like the Eskimos, some great youth pieces, but Carr/Carson/Rookies plus a mediocre defense will not win ballgames. Wouldn't feel right to not have the Knights at #20, regardless of ownership Edited March 15, 2020 by Tk3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you make an argument against 2+ of your teams being in the bottom 5 this season? I'm not trying to bring in any long term prejudice.

bucsfan333 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 You seem to have made a mistake when typing up my team. It should be at number one. But I won't hold it against you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just literally looking at rosters right now I agree with u I just enjoy bringing up the fact the Blue division has gone 4 straight and we need divisional rivalries even if it depends on me being biased & not coming from an opinion formed on facts so therefor, yall trash. Lemme know when you make it to the big game dawg. You only rode off the coat tails of an over hyped QB & two elite WRs who couldn't do jack in the NFL when it mattered.

pwny Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I am just shocked that I could put no effort into drafting, trade off all my picks for future picks so that I can leave the team and a new owner has a fantastic circumstance to come into, and still be viewed as better than almost half the league. Good golly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khodder Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 I think it's funny that people still think Tight ends are anything more than #3/#4 receivers in this league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
