TE help (1 Viewer)

Starkers

With Hooper on bye I need to pick up someone for this week. These are the options I have considered:

1. Work a 2 for 1 trade where I give Wentz and one of my RB to pick up another WR and get space for a TE. If I do this which RB should I give up?

2. Drop Funchess since I may never play him since I have OBJ and Hill.

3. Role without a TE or K or Def for this week. I am 7-0 so I could risk the loss.

Which should I do or is there another idea? Thanks for the help.

10 team, .5 pt ppr, QB, 2-WR, 2-RB, WR/RB, TE, K, Def, 6-BN

QB – C Wentz, P Mahomes

RB – M Gordon, J Mixon, M Breida, M Ingram, J Howard, A Ekeler

WR – O Beckman, T Hill, J Gordon, D Funchess

TE – A Hooper

K – Giorgio Tavecchio

D – Chargers

 
I would drop Ekeler (are you really going to use him with your RB group....although I understand the handcuff for Gordon) but he is on a bye this week and teams may not have much use or room for him on their bench and he's coming off a so-so game this past week in London. Which TE are on waivers? The other option is to just drop Hooper. I would keep Funchess as he's still getting a fairly decent target share and your WR group is small....I would try and keep 4 WR at least through the bye weeks. I do like option 1 but with QB depth this year, is there a team that needs a QB in your league? Maybe target a team that has their QB on bye this week.

Thanks.  You are right about Ekeler if Gordon's hammy is not a problem.  The only 'decent' TEs on the wire are Ben Watson and Vance McDonald so I would just be hoping for about 40 yards on 2 catches.  Watson has the Vikings who give up the 5th most points to TEs but with that position who knows what might happen.

 
True. I mean depends on what you want. Both TEs are pretty even. Watson splits time with Josh Hill at TE and McDonald splits time with Jesse James. I certainly think the Vikings try and emphasize covering Michael Thomas and Vikings are giving up 4th most yards to TEs this season. Watson is coming off a game in which he scored so you could chase the points/momentum here with him.

 
Basically with the bye you are f-c-ked.  TE is the least of your concerns. Don't wreck your team for one week.

 
Initially my suggestion was going to be to just drop Hooper and pick up a TE and stream but if your only choices are Watson and McDonald then I would just play without one for a week.  Surprised there are not better TE options because I would treat Hooper as a streaming option and not an every week TE play usually.  People must be hoarding TE's. 

 
I would try to trade either Ekeler or Howard (with your rbs would you ever play Howard?, and maybe throw in Hooper) for a TE upgrade.  Hooper has had a couple of big weeks against bad defenses to pad his stats.  

Is this a league where some teams have three TEs?

 
I'd just drop Hooper for McDonald. Hooper is nothing special. He had a nice 2 game stretch when Ridley and Sanu were both banged up, they were both healthy last week, and Hooper went right back to seeing his usual 4 targets.

I'm not sure McDonald isn't a better player anyway.

 
Thanks guys.  Good input.  I am now leaning toward to drop Hooper for McDonals option but with Doyle coming back I am thinking he might be a better choice going forward.
