Which team is better?

[ryanash]

Even if you think both teams are bad, I am curious as to which team (both are in 12 team leagues) you think is better:

Team 1
QBs.........Peyton Manning, Carson Palmer, Russell Wilson
RBs.........Stevan Ridley, Rashad Jennings, Beanie Wells, Ronnie Brown, Mike Goodson, Evan Royster
WRs.........Calvin Johnson, Roddy White, Greg Jennings, Lance Moore, Malcom Floyd, Donnie Avery
TEs..........Antonio Gates, Jared Cook
Ks...........Alex Henry, Matt Bryant
Defense.....Baltimore

Team 2
QBs.........Matthew Stafford, Matt Schaub
RBs.........Jamaal Charles, Ben Jarvus Green-Ellis, Beanie Wells, Ronnie Brown, M. Hardesty, Bernard Scott, Daniel Thomas
WRs.........Dwayne Bowe, Miles Austin, Steve Smith(Carolina), Lance Moore, Davone Bess, S. Hill, Andre Roberts
TEs..........Jimmy Graham, Jared Cook
K.............Mason Crosby
Defense.....Atlanta Falcons

Think I'd take team #2 fairly confidently

Both are solid teams but team 2 looks pretty sweet and should contend. Good job!!

Team 2.

Team 1 you waited on RBs but don't have an elite QB or one of the top two TEs and I don't see it being competitive for what my opinion is worth.

Team 2 is better, but IMO, it may be closer than it looks right now.

Team 1 may find itself with only ONE starting RB soon into the season. But it has better and healthier WRs, one of which will likely provide a solid flex option each week (including through the byes). And I wouldn't be surprised to see Gates and Manning within 30-40 points each of Graham and Stafford this year.

If Team 2's Austin and Smith injuries linger and/or if Bowe goes "Desean" on his team or isn't in the best shape due to his late arrival and tweaks a hammy, you could find much of the advantage of Stafford/Graham evaporated.

Good luck.
