| Cant find anything wrong with the team. Top QB in the game, 3 very good RBs - while 1 of them is somewhat of a risk (McGahee) you did draft his back up so its all good. No Defence???

It is hard to tell as it is only an 8 team league and all teams are stacked or should be in these leagues. I would have to see the other teams rosters to make a call.

Sorry forgot to post the K and DEF
I have IND and JAC DEF and Vinateri
What would be the easiest way for you to evaluate other teams in the league, any easy way at all other then copy and pasting every team individually?

Not sure but that may be the best option. Your team looks good but you never know in an 8 team league as all teams look good.

I think you will be fighting for second with team 4 as Team #1 is stacked and has a deep bench (horrible trade). I think your season will depend on how well McGahee and Jones do as your 2nd RB. Steve Smith will give a great boost once he returns. Now of course anything can happen in the playoffs as a lot of team lost in the playoffs due to bad weeks from Brady and Romo. That is if you have plyoffs.

We do have playoffs, and my question is should I try to trade Shockey because I have Heap sitting there and team #4 wants him bad.

Nothing yet, hes just expressed major interest in him ever since I drafted him.
What should I be aiming for, a decent WR?

| I'd look at WR.Also it would be wise move to back yourself up at TE.Heap is not a great option.There are several TE's with more upside like Pope in Arizona or Lewis in Jacksonville.

If you trade with team #4 your options at WR are Colston and Williams. I do not think you will get Colston but you could make a package and get Williams. If you could do that your team will really get a boost.

That would be mistake. I dont trust Heap. Can you see him playing 16 games?

True enough darko, but I need to change something to be in the running somehow, and right now with what is available on free agency, it looks like the logical choice.
