Team Analysis

This is an inferior team that almost certainly won't make the playoffs as is, unless you get some unexpected performances from multiple players. Therefore, you should look to make some trades ASAP and you should also be very active on your league's waiver wire.

Patrick Mahomes should be an okay QB1 for a 12-team league, but there will be multiple weeks where he'll make you regret not upgrading.

D'Andre Swift is a terrible RB1 for a 12-team league. You should make it your priority to upgrade here.

Ja'Marr Chase is an awesome WR1 for a 12-team league. He's a stud who you can rely on for consistently impressive production.

Mike Evans is a fine WR2 for a 12-team league. Not a superstar, but should get the job done more often than not.

Darren Waller is a horrendous TE1 for a 12-team league. Prioritize upgrading this spot.

Calvin Ridley isn't the best FLEX1 for a 12-team league, but should provide you with a handful of good games here and there.

As a FLEX2 for a 12-team league, Darnell Mooney isn't great, but may surprise with a few good games.

Daniel Carlson is an average kicker.

In general, don't spend much time worrying about kickers. They are too unpredictable. Try to find a kicker on a team with a good offense. And if he's playing in a dome, even better.

The New Orleans Saints aren't the best defense, but D/STs are mostly a crapshoot. You'll probably want to stream defenses.
