It's hard to handicap 8 team leagues but you have two top quarterbacks a nice set of pass catchers but your RBs are a bit above average with a nice upside.

Terrible RB's for an 8 team league.

Awful RBs for 8 team league.

I give you an E- on the A-F scale

**00Rocket28** · Aug 27, 12, 10:17 PM

If only you had Miles Simpson at RB

Like Neerfan, it's tough to handicap an 8 team league but I am not impressed.

I'd guess your QB's are 2 of the best, but other than that your team is very lackluster. If QB's are big scorers (i.e. 6 points for a TD), you're in good shape.

Hillis, Benson, and Green-Ellis will have great years. Jackson had an awesome year last year. My plan is to trade a QB for a top RB though.

If they were poised to have great years, would all 3 of their teams from last year have let them go this offseason??

Benson could be a sleeper but he's going to struggle to score the football in GB. Rodgers is a fairly mobile QB who gets a lot of rushing TD's. Also, with the amount that GB throws the ball, Benson's # of touches in the end zone won't come close to the # of touches he received in Cincy.

Also, Benson struggles catching passes out of the backfield. If he were more versatile, I would say he could have a big year in GB. I think he'll do well on the field, but not necessarily in fantasy.

Regarding BJGE, I don't know how he'll do in Cincy. I think he'll be a solid fantasy back because he can catch the football, too.

Not good for an 8 team league. I'd be surprised if you didn't finish 8th. RBs are awful. WRs are slightly above average. QB is the only strength.

**SvFan4life** · Aug 31, 12, 11:40 AM

Very poor RB's. You should have at least 1 stud at RB in an 8 team league.

I'd like to see your draft recap and where you drafted everyone.

What pick did you begin with?

**NEERFAN** · Aug 31, 12, 11:56 PM

I'm guessing that he took Rodgers, Cam and Jullio as his top 3. I think Hillis could have a very good season, they will likely split carries but they had 500 rushes in 2011 so plenty of carries to go around. Jackson is very underrated and has low mileage even at his age and Benson and BJGE can both be solid. I would never play in a 2 quarterback league but if touchdowns are 6 points for passing he has the best in the business while having another running back in Newton.
