@majesiu Got bored, decided to address your comments team by team. I left out money for obvious reasons.
NO
Current champions, and most likely to repeat. Will see some regression, but are the easy favorite in S11 if no one changes teams this offseason. After that, they will likely start going downhill, as most of the team will be facing regression. With bovo as a GM, though, I don't expect this team to really decline. I think he is one of the two best recruiting GMs in the NSFL (the other being Bzerkap). People want to play for him, so I expect NOLA to be a legit contender through S13.
YKW
As I mentioned, Bzerkap is a very pleasant person to play for, but I just don't see much of a future here. Kennedy is gone after S10, leaving Tegan Atwell (free agent) and the inactive Glenn McPoyal as the only receiving options. Pennington is actually just as good a fit for you in terms of draft class, as the two of you will likely retire around the I worry about this team's strategies, as they seem to lose the most winnable games. Unless they make a big FA splash, I don't see them making the playoffs in S11, though they would with you.
You may not know it, but your list has an interesting pattern, in that your top two teams are run by the GMs with arguably the best personalities.
ARI
With 4 of the top 11 picks in the upcoming S11 draft, ARI is definitely a solid team if you are looking for long term success...but only if you are willing to miss one year of making the playoffs. I have ARI as going 7-7 next season (again, assuming no FA moves), and being narrowly edged out by NO and OCO. Starting in S13, I have ARI as the favorite to win it all (though a lot can change by then). RunCMC is one of the two most competent GMs in this league, so you can trust the improvement to continue, which counts for a lot.
BAL
There is only one manager on par with RunCMC for competence, and that is iamslm22. So for the top 2 you seem to favor likeability, and next competence. Baltimore is in an odd spot, as they have drafted quite well, but being near the top for so long has hurt their draft picks. Blocksdale is in his last season as a top tier QB, and will be barely below average in S11. Taylor will regress as well, but will likely still be the best fantasy RB in the league thanks to the insane blocking support he has there, so the offense will still be good enough. With you there, they could compete for an Ultimus as a legit contender in S11, but downhill hard after that.
COL
Brister is gone after this season, and Bly has declared inactive. They are a fringe playoff team next year, and a playoff lock with you there opposite Bly. Unfortunately, this team has suffered from piss poor management since at least S8 (wasn't paying much attention prior), so I don't know if I would ever consider them a real contender.
PHI
I like the moves they've made, so I won't write them off, but know that this team is still getting worse, as they lose (I think) seven players to auto-retirement after this season, and a few more the following year. They don't have the draft picks to replace what they are losing, either, so you would likely be the hero of a 1-13 team should you go there.
SJS
The rebuild they began in S2 appears to be about where it started, and I just can't say I have a lot of faith here...or any. One playoff appearance in 10 seasons, all with the same GM, pretty much tells you what to expect.
OCO
Expect them to spend one game in the playoffs this year and next, but to make a legit Ultimus run in S12. With you there, they would likely be the S12 champs before declining. Won't say anything else, though, since they seem ruled out.
