My team got off to a horrible start. 0-5 to be exact. I've righted the ship by going 3-1 the last 4 weeks and have an outside shot of a playoff birth if I finish strong. And that's all I need is a shot in the playoffs. It's team 3 in my signature. PPR league. I've made some decent moves over the last few weeks to get some play makers on my squad. Here are some questions...... The TE position has been an issue all year. I'm wondering if I try and propose a trade to a guy who has Julius Thomas and Antonio Gates. I doubt he would give up Thomas so I'm focusing on Gates. Just wondered if I tried to send him LaFell or even Fitzgerald (since I'm so deep at WR) to snag Gates would be a dumb move. Also I like how Tannehill has played the last few weeks. Just wondering how long that will last. Not too sure if he will continue to play like this going forward but I sure hope so. As his back up I have RGIII. Decent upside but a guy I wouldn't play unless Tannehill gets hurt or until RGIII proves he's healthy and can play better. With that being said is it dumb to go after Ryan Mallet as a back up to possibly use later in the season based on matchups? What makes this so awful is that I had Tom Brady and he was playing average at best the first 4 or 5 weeks and I made a bunch of trade offers to switch things up on my team and wound up with Cousins and a few other players in return for Brady. Seemed like a good move at the time. But now it's looking like the worst trade ever. Then I just wondered if I should go with Martavis Bryant (NYjets) or Mark Ingram (SF) in my flex spot. And lastly what does everyone think of Seattle's D? I just noticed someone dumped their D and I have KC's D. Is that an automatic pickup? Or something to think about?
As far as my sit/start question goes.... Jamal Charles and Jeremy Hill are my must start RB's. Then two spots at WR between Larry Fitzgerald (StL), Kelvin Benjamin(Phi), Martavis Bryant(Jets). And then the Flex spot between the one left over WR and Mark Ingram (SF).
Sorry for taking long time. Here it is my input. and I wasn't sure from signature if you started 3 WR or 2 WR If you start 3 WR I wouldn't trade Fitz for Gates. Reason is you start 3 WR. Meaning you will need to start Fitz almost every week with Benjamin and Ty Hilton. Fell will be your bye week filler for TY (week 10) Kelvin week 12. You need those. Yes the TE is week, but you would be swapping on position with another. (I don't think it makes too much sense) If you start 2 WR Do it. if he accepts. QB. I like Tannehill especially week 12 and 13 I don't like his playoffs schedule though. and I LOVE RG3's schedules during 14, 15 and 16. I know the schedules by heart because I have the same situation in league 1. Tannehill and RG3 (I do have Ryan but was going to trade him) Mallet: Normally I prefer to see 1 week at the very least. in your case wait. I don't see who you would drop STarters: Start Ingram unless he is sidelined
Thanks for the thoughts. Appreciate it. We do only start 2 WR and 2 RB and 1 Flex. So that's what makes Fitz expendable. I will offer the trade then and see what happens.
Yeah my ohter concern is who will be your flex. I do like Hill but if Gio gets his job back your back out looking for a flex. I Am torn on this trade.
Love them this week. but I prefer to look at Defenses week on week. This year especially it's tough to pick out 1 team
With Hilton and Benjamin at WR with Lafell and Martavis Bryant on the bench even in the bye weeks I could get three of these four in the lineup with Hill getting his work load reduced. Am I focusing on the wrong guy to trade here? Should I be offering Lafell or Bryant instead of Fitz?
Yeah that makes sense. The D'S have been hard to lock in on. So far I've just gone week to week. Hoping to get the Seahawks for this week.
I found another guy with three TE's. He has M Bennett, O Daniels and D Allen. Should I make a move on with a lower WR like Lafell for one of his lower guys?
if he is pickj Try LaFell for Daniels or Allen. if he has a WR not playing this week try Bryant for one of those two. might entice him. is Kyle Rudolph on your waiver wire by any chance? He was on quite a few leagues of mine
PICK HIM UP AND DO NOT TRADE. Rudolph should be back week 11, week 12 at worst. and I am hoping for big things.
Completely forgot about Rudolph. That is who I will pick up. Problem is I don't know who to drop. I have to start Charles Clay with Jordan Cameron out. So I can't dump Clay.
Personally I would trade any WR Im not starting for a TE that upgrades me - I'd trade FITZ or Lafell or BOTH in a heart beat for a solid upgrade at TE - I'll personally pay out the ass for a upgrade and you sir need a upgrade in league 3 at TE - I do agree with Jad on Rudolph - but "what if" is to much risk - Look at your bye weeks - make sure you'll be okay at WR if you trade one or even two WR for a nice upgrade at TE - You gonna start HILTON - BEN and Bryant most week anyway.
