Your running backs are garbage.
Andre Johnson is coming off injury prone year - now in a run 1st offense, never scored more than 8 TDs in one year.
i like Brandon Lloyd - but there are a lot of weapons in the pats attack.
Steve Smith is getting old, who knows if he can repeat last year.
you dont have a #2 RB.....
drop justin blackmon & pick up a RB or trade Andre Johnson for a decent #1 or 2.
Lloyd and Antonio Brown should suffice at WR if you have 2 decent RBs
5/10

You need rb help as Garcia mentioned. I would wait for a week where Vick goes off and look to move him to a team in need at qb for a quality back. You don't need Vick since you have Cam.

I bet you can package vick and johnson together to pick up an elite RB - maybe even a sleeper WR thrown in.
You may have to wait until Vick and Johnson have decent games to trade them at highest value.

Thanks for the replies !
I dropped Blackmon for Ronnie Brown.. I liked the way the Chargers used him against us. Mathews is out for week 1, so I will have Brown start with Bush or Hillis. Lynch is hurt, so I'm not risking him.
I always make the playoffs so I'm not worried really. 2 years ago I lost because I accidentally started Thomas Jones over Brian Westbrook and I lost by 5 and only got my money back. Last year I was in the semi finals and lost by TWO because Ahmad Bradshaw missed curfew and didnt play until late 3rd. .
Just got my money back again. (what sucks is that in the championship game, it was 2 lucky scrubs who finished the ship with a 64-56 score and I had 200+ lol)
Some reason I think Andre Johnson will be healthy all year.. Putting up great numbers. I would love to start Lloyd/Brown also, but the Cam/Smith combo does damageeeee.
hypothetically if Vick/Johnson went off, what do you guys think I could get for them? Preferably a 2-2 deal.

I bet you can get an elite RB, McFadden-esque, maybe if your lucky a Ray Rice. Thats if they go off though. Depends on the market. It would probably have to coincide with a buy-low scenerio, say - MJD?
MJD was really inconsistant early last year, I traded for him for Darren Sproles, who was doing well, and Eric Decker.... and that was about week 5 or 6.. so after that MJD was just beastly and ultimately won me my league.
He will be a 3rd down back, so he probably wont do s**t. If Vick and AJ go off... you may be able to get him.

Take a look at your league's roster and see who is weak or potentially weak at QB. I don't think you need to trade both Vick and AJ for a good back. If a guy is weak at QB and deep at RB, you could probably land a 3rd/4th round type back that is quality like a Charles/Fred Jackson/Murray type back.

^^ I was thinking Murray.
The guy that has him has Peyton at QB but his starting WR are Robert Meachem/Wes Welker/Demaryious Thomas. So maybe a AJ deal to him...

Thats what I was thinking. Might cancel it and wait until I see some results.
Only thing is, is that I can easily see Lloyd having Moss-type results on the patriots. I do know that their TE's are gonna take away some TD's from him, but him on the deep ball from brady.. could be nasty.
But I kind of HAVE to start Steve Smith because Cam. So that's 1... then I have Antonio Brown, who I want to start.. Lloyd.. Andre Johnson.. even Nate Washington should be considered.
I guess it's a good problem to have, too many good receivers.. but I can only start 2 and a flex.. so right now im using Brown/Johnson/Smith .. hard to have a player like Lloyd on the bench. I guess if I kept the WR's, I'd just go every week based on their opponents. But I just trust RB's sooooo much more to produce, rather than WR's.

If it's PPR, I'd go Welker. If not, Lloyd has big play potential - doesnt need a lot of catches for big plays.

So I canceled my trade offer and woke up with a text from his brother saying "my bro told me to tell you that hes interested in dealing murray to you if you want"
so im going to be in talks later.. but thats a weird coincidence lol. I asked him why, wondering if the guy saw my offer already, and he said that his bro told him he needed WR's and he told his bro that I had a lot
