Hi, today for fun I thought I would make a team of the best backups at some of the skill positions in the league. A skill position is like receiver or QB because they are big deals unlike non-skill positions like O-line. Here it is:
QB: Jimmy Garopollo, Patriots:
The best backup QB in the league is headlining this team. He was a big candidate for trade this off-season because in the few games he played this season he looked starting QB quality. To be fair, he learned from the best! He would be a great QB for the all-backup team.
RB1: Tevin Coleman, Falcons:
Coleman was close to elite this past season...as a backup RB! Coleman is a versatile young back that could carry this all backup team. He would be a great starter I think.
RB2: Derrick Henry, Titans:
Even though he haven't seen much of Henry in the NFL yet. The former Heisman winning bruising back could likely be a great running back for a team. Eventually he will likely become the starter in Tennessee but he is a tackle breaking machine and I think he will be a great addition to the all-backup team.
WR1: Tyreek Hill, Chiefs:
The speedy WR2 from the Chiefs would be the perfect fit for the all-backup team. This team needs a blazing fast receiver that has great hands and I think Hill would thrive catching long balls from Jimmy Garopollo.
WR2: Tyrell Williams, Chargers:
Williams had a surprising 1000 yard season last year putting him on the radar of many teams. I think Williams may have great success on the all-backup team and maybe could tally another 1000 yard season.
WR3: Taylor Gabriel, Falcons:
Gabriel had a breakout year in a backup role on the Falcons this year. He really helped Matt Ryan become MVP and he is a speedy receiver that any team would want. He will be a great complement to Ty Williams and Tyreek on this team.
TE: Jack Doyle, Colts: Doyle was a solid backup tight end this past season for the Colts. He was actually decent in fantasy and was a great secondary target for Andrew Luck instead of the teams TE1. Doyle will be a good big target for the backup-team.
CB1: Chris Harris, Broncos:
An elite corner somehow made this list. The Broncos are so talented that their CB2 is even elite. He will be a defensive force for this team.
CB2: Casey Hayward, Chargers:
This seasons interception leader came out of nowhere. After a bad year with the Packers, the random free agent signing turned into an elite corner on the Chargers.
CB3: DeShawn Shead, Seahawks:
Shead has been good for the last 2 seasons and he has earned himself on the all-backup team no doubt. He has actually been a lockdown corner.
Thanks for reading and this is the ALL-BACKUP TEAM!
