12 Team Competitive-Trade-Thoughts? (1 Viewer)

[The Scorpion]

I'm 6-1 and rolling as total points leader, but have big bye week issues weeks 10 & 11(Div game).

I traded Rivers, Tevin, Crabtree, & Jared Cook for Cousins, CJ Anderson, Amendola, & OJ Howard. 

I wanted to improve at QB and have a decent backup RB without sacrificing too much depth. I had 4 of top 12 WR after this week, but Adams is a huge downgrade now and Hogan was hit or miss.

Cousins, Stafford

Hunt, Hyde, CJA, Breida, Char, Collins 

Green, Hogan, Adams, Amendola

K & Jax Def

Whatcha Think  What % did I improve from to, to win it all? 

Thank you, I look at yours

About 1%.  Upgrade at QB assuming normal scoring rules, upgrade at RB, downgrade at WR, downgrade or wash at TE.  On the plus side you got 2 starters for your team and two decent depth moves.  Why only 1%?  FFL is a game of chance, you could trade for the best player at every position on your roster and you are still going to be hovering around a 50% chance to win it all due to the element of chance.

It seems like you meant to post this in the AC.

The trade looks alright. I don't really know if CJA is an improvement on Coleman this year, maybe more steady, but Denver backfield is not exactly reliable. Coleman has more "king maker" potential if Freeman were to go down. For your starting lineup, you got better at QB and worse at WR.

Does your league have a bye? Are you in a good spot to get that, or do you need to win the next couple weeks to lock it up? If you are in a good spot to get the playoffs locked up, you are better off building your team for the playoffs than to get through the bye weeks.
