Rb Frank Gore (Ugh)
Rb Steven Jackson (Ugh again.....)
Wr Demayruius Thoman
Wr Alson Jeffery
Te Rob Gronkowshi
flex Emmanuel Sanders
Def Panthers
K Stephen Gostowsi (NE starting Kicker)

My bench
Jermey Maclin
Kyle Rudoplh (Gronk Insurance)
Lamar Miller (...no comment)

Jermey Hill

I probably need to upgrade on rb, some rbs on the wavier wire include, Donald Brown and Blount. Help plz lol on what moves should be made for this team.

    your team is exceptional other than at rb. my tip would be to trade alshon jeffrey and steven jackson for, say, zac stacy and a scrub wr. you can bump maclin to flex and sanders to Wr2, and bell(or whoever you end up with) at rb

    Your team is actually really strong. Your weakness is at RB but you make up for it with your receiving core. I agree with John stating that you should try to snag Carlos Hyde. With RB's on run heavy teams it is more important to handcuff your starting back than to pick up a guy that will start on your roster. Your team is actually really interesting because I think there I multiple guys that you can package together to upgrade at RB. Here are some of my ideas

    1. Gronk/Jackson for #1 RB
    2. Thomas/Jackson/maybe a bench player for 1 of the top 4 RBs OR Sanders/Jackson for a low-end #1 RB

    Rudolph is a fine option at TE and if an injury prone Gronk can get you any of the top 4 RB's I would 100% do it. You would still have a solid TE with great upside as your starter. It may not be a popular opinion but I would actually dangle D. Thomas in a trade to see what I can get for him. Every number 2 receiver in a Manning offense will hit 1000+ yards 6+ TD's so a Sanders/Jeffery combo wouldn't be bad if the Thomas trades nets you McCoy,Charles,AP or Forte. I would even throw a do a 3 to 1 with another bench player if someone is willing to bite. These are just my ideas so take it for what its worth.

    lol thanks all of you, and the guy rejected Jermy Hill for Carlos Hyde, the guy that has him also has Montee Ball, maybe I should offer him something for both

    Trade for Carlos Hyde. Whoever owns him will probably be ok with flipping Hyde for Hill. Gore is a decent weekly play, and with Hyde as a handcuff you'll get to benefit from the 49ers run game all season. Lamar Miller deserves to be commented on! He will have a definite role to start the year, and has a legitimate shot at asserting himself over Moreno before midseason. Of course this is mostly speculation until we see some real games, but he's worthy of a roster spot. Ahmad Bradshaw is available in a lot of leagues and is in a similar position, in that he has a real chance of being the starting RB for the Colts by midseason. He's worth a roster spot, more so than Stewart/Dunbar in my opinion. That said, Gore/Jackson/Bradshaw are all older RBs. I'd try to package SJax + Sanders for an upgrade at RB. If the owners of players like Ben Tate, Joique Bell, or Shane Vereen aren't starting them, they might seriously consider that offer.

    You're starting receivers are great, but you need some more depth given Maclin's injury history. DeAndre Hopkins and Markus Whaton are players that are available in most leagues that I'm in and who may have a big role as the season progresses.

    You're = Your, Whaton = Wheaton. Why on earth is the text box on numberfire so tiny?

    I forgo to say - your team isn't bad at all. You have the best QB and arguably the best TE in the game, and your receivers are hard to match. Solid players at 3/4 positions puts you in a good position! And that Manning-Thomas connection will pay off in a big, big way.
