Once again the Yahoo team rankings are a complete Joke.

Hoosier Colts

The Colts boast a top-tier QB duo led by Lamar Jackson, whose dynamic playmaking ability anchors the starting lineup with an A- grade. Backup Jared Goff and developmental Drake Maye provide solid insurance, giving the team a rare luxury of two high-scoring QBs in a non-superflex league. This depth at quarterback not only cushions bye weeks but also offers flexibility for trade or waiver wire moves. Their projected points from QBs are among the highest in the league, giving the Colts a clear edge in weekly scoring potential.

��‍♂️ Running Back Depth: A+ Bench, Solid Starters
Running backs are the Colts' crown jewel, with an A+ overall grade thanks to strong starters like James Cook and Bucky Irving, plus a bench that can step up when needed. This depth is crucial in an 8-team league where RBs can be scarce, and it provides a safety net against injuries or tough matchups. However, the presence of Joe Mixon on the bench, who has underperformed, suggests a need for a savvy waiver or trade move to maximize this group's value.

�� Wide Receiver and Tight End Concerns
Wide receivers start strong with an A- grade but drop to a B- overall due to a weak bench, including a notable bye week clash between A.J. Brown and Garrett Wilson in Week 9. This could force tough lineup decisions or require strategic pickups. The tight end position is a glaring weakness, graded F overall, with Trey McBride as a starter who's been tagged as overpriced. This spot could be a target for improvement via waiver wire or trade, as it may limit weekly upside and consistency.

�� Playoff Outlook and Strategic Moves
With playoff chances in the 60-77% range, the Colts are in a good spot but need to navigate bye weeks carefully and consider upgrades at TE and WR depth. The team's special teams and defense grades are middling, so picking up the Kansas City Chiefs defense could be a savvy move to boost scoring.

Yahoo's Draft Grade:

Hoosier Colts strutted into the draft like a peacock, strutting away with an A+ grade and a projected record of 13-1-0. With the second pick in a league of 8, they didn't just draft; they orchestrated a symphony of selections that left the competition gasping for air. With a schedule that's as easy as pie (8th toughest, if you're counting), they're set to waltz their way to the playoffs with style and flair. Who knew drafting could be this much fun?

Which is it Yahoo?????

Yeah, Yahoo is never right (except in my other league where I got an A+ haha - though I don’t agree) and it’s all based on projected points. I prefer yours Venge, but didn’t need a reminder about my rough QB situation!

That is your fault. Although the fact that you got Herbert in the 12th is insane.

I think I've set my line up.

You look set. Just need to come back each week to make sure your roster is set with people who are either injured or on bye weeks.

You need to drop Richardson ( he isn't starting and will give you 0 points) and pick up a starting QB like trever Lawrence

Can I trade at any time?
Teach me your ways dark masters

You can drop players at any time. You can pick up players any time, as long as they haven’t played yet in the week or been recently dropped by another team.

If they’ve played or been recently dropped, they’ll fall to waivers. All teams have a chance to claim a player from waivers and the team with the highest priority will get the player. The waiver priority is rolling so whoever claims a player falls to the bottom of the list and slowly makes their way back up as other teams have successful claims.

Trading is allowed through November 22nd.

It’s the problem with the late pick in a 2 qb league. With picks 1/2, do you take qb5 over rb3 and wr1? Similarly in round 3, qb9? Tricky, as I know you know. To some extent, the rating system also seems to ding you based on not having a qb on the bench.

Fuck the rating system lol.

I was tempted by Herbert a couple of times... Harbaugh just gives me so much pause there for his stats.

For sure, HD. I was debating between Herbert and rolling the dice on Maye, but you saved me from having to make that decision haha
