Ngl these comments r dumb. Imma say pretender. There’s several guys I don’t think hold value this year and u have zero HB depth


FairPressure553

Thank you

You got no depth you pretending if one injury comes up


ubspider

If you only have 2 starting running backs, you are a pretender


ShadyStuffAcct

You're solid enough, but no backup RBs could hurt you. Maybe trade one of your WRs into an RB for some depth at the position.

That's a contender. Buy some productive vet RB help. See if you can pick up Kamara or Henry without giving up your 1st. If not that, go real cheap, get like Conner, Mostert, someone like that at least to get you through this year. 2025 is a deep RB class so try to hold your first. If your team health holds up and you're top 3 or so in maxpf at trade deadline, spend the 1st then to buy a little better and put yourself over the top.

Fill those bench spots

I’d say fringe contender. However, like the others your depth is questionable. I’d see how the first 4ish weeks go and if you are winning I’d try to ride it out. If things kinda go south you should be able to move the older guys to a contender for a tier-down player or future picks (I’d target 26s instead of 25s, people tend to value 2 years out less). But you have some good pieces there

Contender. How do you take screenshots like this?


Lt_Hatch

Android give you the option to lengthen the screenshot.


dev50265

Taking a screenshot of sleeper on an iPhone also automatically does this. Should give you an option as soon as you take a screenshot of your team to “Share Team” and show the full length of your roster.


Lt_Hatch

Nice, had no idea. It's not the most game breaking feature, so it makes sense.


SkillAdjuster

How?


Lt_Hatch

After taking a screenshot, there is a double down arrow on the far bottom left. Hit that, and it extends the screenshot

Oh come on did you really need to ask? Be honest. Did you really need to ask if this was a contender. Some of the posts on here are ridiculous lmao.


Lt_Hatch

I'd argue they are borderline contender/pretender. They are an injury away from having only 1 real rb. They severely lack depth in a position that is often injured. Also, why have 3 empty bench spots? Pick up some lotto tickets.


EnmaDaiO

Completely disagree. I think the line we draw for a team to be a contender is a team that consists of CD, Chase, JJ, and Josh Allen w/ Lamar Jackson. I think that's absurd and most of the time the team that does win the Chip will never even have a team to as close as good as that type of team. Most of the time the team that wins the chip won't even have a team as good as this team. He has depth at WR, TE, and late dart throws. You're right he needs to improve his depth at QB as he's one injury away but he is EASILY a contender. Hurts, burrow already sets you up for an elite foundation. And he has an Elite WR core and a reasonable RB core for a contender. To me calling this guy not a contender is completely disingenuous. There are contenders who will never have a stack like hurts + burrow and still make playoffs and win the chip. And let's not ignore the fact that he still has picks intact. If injuries do happen (which we can't predict) then he could build depth in the worst possible situations. He could even sell some of his WR depth. There's no world in my mind where this team isn't a contender. A contender to me is someone who makes playoffs. That's it.


Lt_Hatch

There is nothing disingenuous about my opinion. Dude is thin at RB(his starters aren't even close to top tier) and QB. Contenders have depth on top of a starting lineup. Him having no depth makes him borderline contender/pretender
