Roster Notes
This is easily the worst team in my dynasty portfolio of 16 squads.
In the 2020 startup I selected Kyler Murray and Justin Herbert, but was unable to convert my concentration of elite QB talent into a deep playoff run in either of the league’s first two seasons. Critical injuries at wide receiver (Michael Thomas, Will Fuller) and lack of a viable RB2 have hampered the squad.
While I own a full rookie pick set for 2022, neither the round one or two picks are my own as they were acquired in prior trades.
Considering the key assets on-hand, the clear move was to shop one of my quarterbacks to upgrade the rest of my roster. What kind of return can an elite quarterback like Murray or Herbert bring?
