Hi Jeff, I've been reading your excellent articles and was wondering if you could give me some advice.

I'm in a 14 team PPR League and we can keep 3 players, but only 1 at any position. My keepers are Chris Johnson, Fitz and P. Manning so I'm in pretty good shape. Another manager wants CJ and has offered picks 5, 24 and 33 to get him. Looking at who is likely to be kept, I think these picks would net me something like Calvin Johnson, Greg Jennings and Jahvid Best (or another WR like Sidney Rice). We start 2RBs and 3WRs with a flex.

Am I nuts to consider this? We have to declare our keepers soon and I'm a little concerned about a potential holdout, as well as the fact that I don't think CJ reaches the giddy heights of 2009 again.

For the coming year, having Fitz, Calvin Johnson, Greg Jennings and say Sidney Rice in a 14 team league would be awesome. The downside would be only being allowed to keep one of them .

Thoughts?

Thank you for the kind words. Feel free to ask anything in this thread. The deal is tempting. I would pass for one simple reason. In a 14-team league, you would be behind at RB. Having Johnson helps your team because you have a stud while most teams are struggling to find one decent back to keep. You should be able to find WRs easier than RBs in a 14 teamer.You have a great nucleus, I would not mess with it unless getting another very good ball carrier.

Thanks for your rapid and thoughtful reply. Two follow-up questions if I may:1) There is a slim possibility that I could trade CJ and my 5th round pick (#70 overall) for Peterson and a 3rd rounder (29) overall. Is Peterson close enough in value to CJ to consider this?2) If I stand pat, my first actual pick is at 43, then I don't pick again until 70 and 71. With a starting line-up of QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, WR, TE, RB/WR/TE flex, which position would you target? As there is depth at WR, I was thinking to go RB but the pickings are slim there unless a McCoy or Best falls. WRs available should include Crabtree and Nicks, but Gates at TE might actually be the best value of all.BTW, nice to see Joshua 24:15 quoted on the site.

I do not see the ADP trade as that helpful. The difference in players for those picks involved is not that huge. I think i would look at WR or RB at 43, best player available. If going WR, you can hodgepodge RB2/3 if need be. This is why I think it is important to have a strong RB1 in big leagues. If McCoy/Best are gone, and there is no one you like, wait on the Hightower, Barber, etc group. I also like Mike Bush and Forsett as great RB3 prospects. Each could be PPR starters this year. At WR, I would consider looking at Chambers, Gaffney, and Massaquoi late. One thought in PPR redrafts this year is how to acquire the Welker/Edelman combo. Edelman is a legit WR1/2 while Welker is out. Taking the pair is a great way to maximize value, knowing you will have at least one very good option most weeks. Of the rookie WRs, I think Mike Williams and Golden Tate make the most impact this year.

That is a fair deal. Only reason not to do the deal is if you think you can draft Tebow with the pick. I suspect the recent buzz will have him go earlier than a few weeks ago. I like the deal for you. Campbell has a real chance to outproduce McNabb

Hey, Brown is worth a ton more than Lynch right now. Addai is on the last year of his deal and likely will not be back in Indy for 2011. This year will determine what level of RB Indy brings in. If Brown plays well, maybe a 3rd or 4th rounder. If he does not, maybe a 1st or 2nd. I would look to buy Lynch on the cheap. If you cannot get him cheaply, wait it out. There is too much risk to give up something as good as Brown

Hey Jeff,

Hope all is well. I'm in the middle of a 16 team 0.5 ppr Dynasty startup. I'm drafting at the 7 spot and I'm trying to decide what to do with the 2.10. I took Rodgers at 1.07 so I'm set at QB. We start 3 WR and 2 RB with 1 Flex so I'm tempted to WR although I worry that if I don't take a RB now I may struggle to get a quality one.

Here's the top guys at each position:

RB:

Deangelo Williams

Beanie Wells

Ryan Matthews

Jamaal Charles

Shonn Greene

Ced Benson

WR:

Roddy White

Miles Austin

Greg Jennings

Vincent Jackson

Sidney Rice

Marques Colston

DeSean Jackson

Just wondering who you would take in this situation. I'm leaning towards Wells, Matthews, White or Rice.

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

Hey Don, if this was a 12 team league, I would say to take a WR because the RBs will fall. But, in a 16 teamer, QB/RB are so difficult to find. Take the RB you like best. Do not be afraid to load up on RBs if they are the best players left. There will be WRs who fall.

thanks. Managed to trade back 4 places and pick up a bump in a couple of the middle rounds. All the guys I mentioned were still there at 2.13 so I pulled the trigger on Matthews, even if he doesn't have a huge year I think he's got a pretty high floor.

[Instinctive]

PPR, 12 team

WRs:

Sidney Rice, Roddy White, Crabtree, Dez Bryant, Devin Thomas

RBs:

Chris Wells, Tim Hightower, Marion Barber, a bunch of crap

I have 2.03, upcoming.

Who would you take? I have Rivers and Celek too, so I'm definitely competing for a championship if I can get a freakin RB.

Guys taken already: Best, Mathews, Spiller, Hardesty, Tate, bunch of wideouts and Bradford

Guys I'm looking at: Gerhart, James Starks, Anthony Dixon ---maybe Charles Scott or Shawnbrey, but I think I could get them later if I really want.

Starks and Gerhart are the guys I can't decide between. Starks could be a really sneaky great pick type of guy, but over the next couple years when Favre is done, Gerhart might get close to 150 carriesa year even with AD. Who would you take?

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

I would not reach for a RB unless it is someone you like a lot. I think I would go with best player available, knowing you can trade for a RB if need be. The two Cardinals should both be Top 20 PPR RBs this year and Barber is decent. I would look at Mike Williams if he is available. You have a good group of players, so I would suggest not to overthink things. Take the player you like best across positions.

BPA is always the way to go, I agree...but I don't know who it is here. Starks and Gerhart have about this ADP, and Williams (I like him too) went 1.09 after Benn at 1.08. Both Tates (B and G) are gone. I don't have any picks next year after using my 1 and 2 for Rivers, so I definitely could use a RB, especially when none of the receivers left seem promising. Overall this is one of the worst draft classes I can recall for fantasy...I could take Brandon LaFell, but is he really any better than Starks? Or Gerhart? I liked Toby in college, but behind AD means he's practically useless except as a cuff.

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

I would say that either Gerhart or Dwyer. I am not a huge Starks fan this early. At least the other two were proven studs in college.

So, it turned out well after all. I made a "what the hell" offer of 2.03 and 4.09 for Bernard Scott and 3.02.

It got accepted. I like Scott better than Gerhart, Dwyer, or Starks...the one round upgrade is just a bonus.

Hey Jeff, a while back now I wanted your opinion on a few trades and whatnot, and was obviously thankful. However, since the Wells owner disappeared for a month, nothing happened with the trades. Since then, I have traded Jacoby Jones and IDP for Nicks, whilst I have traded the 1.02 overall for Jonathan Stewart. Key information

RB - Rice-Mendenhall-Stewart-Felix-Barber-McGahee-Harrison

Either way, I now no longer have a first round pick but felt the trade back was well worth it (The bloke already had ADP, DeAngelo, Forte and Grant with meh WRs) but the Wells owner has come back with a new offer. The offer possibly (He isn't 100% about it but said its likely his offer)

Wells/2.09 for Felix/Barber/Harrison/Jones

Either way I am upgrading RB depth, but in recent weeks have come to like Felix more than previously. Not to mention it helps to have more depth with 3 good young RBs. However, I am still a massive Wells fan. Not to mention the 2.09, which although isn't normally worth THAT much can help me improve my IDP immensely and still allow me to draft a QB in Whitehurst or Tebow.

So, what do you think I should do? Thanks, Kree.

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

You have a great group of rb/wr. I like the deal consolidating players. You get a bigger upgrade than it appears. Wells is a top dyn rb. Whether you do this deal or not, I would look to add qb depth, even a cheap guy like Campbell or Garrard.

[Kree]

Thanks Jeff. Unfortunately QBs are sold at a premium and are much much harder to get, even over good young RBs like Stewart and Wells. Campbell is being held onto by a QB hoarder who is difficult to trade with when it comes to QBs, and the Garrard owner only has G and V Young, so he won't be moving anyone any time soon. Based on previous discussions though, I may be able to get Stafford for my 2011 1st round pick, Barber, Harrison, Jones and 2.06. Its a lot of parts but that would be my best shot at getting a young QB, thoug I still hesitate over Stafford. When it comes to QBs it comes down to overpaying and whether you are willing to do it. Any opinions on that trade? Kree

keep Palmer. That is way too much. I would take a chance on Tebow at2.09 if you do that deal and he is still there. How would Whitehurst cost? He will start games this year and would be a good guy to get cheap and stash. Also, I expect one of orlovsky &/or grossman to see action. Neither schaub or mcnabb is overly durable. Just thinking how to get cheap qb depth if you have the roster space

 

[Kree]

I am fairly confident I can trade Harrison for an early 2nd, so I could theoretically grab Tebow and Whitehurst in the second (Was also planning on grabbing Orlovsky late).

Hey Jeff.

Hoping I can bounce this off you.

Hey again, Jeff.

Dynasty/Contract League

PPR Scoring

Start QB / 1-2 RB / 2-3 WR / TE

My Team:

Rookie / FA picks: 1.06, 2.12. 3.12

QBs: Rivers, Freeman

RBs: Peterson, Chris Johnson, Bernard Scott

WRs: Boldin, Bowe, Harvin, Holmes, Steve Smith (Car), Schilens, Floyd, Massaquoi

TEs: Witten, Cook

I've been hot after Nicks. I think he is going to be huge and I'm willing to overpay a bit to get him now, because, ultimately I think it will be a bargain.

So the guy who has him is pencil thin at WR besides Nicks and New York Steve Smith so I think he could want to diversify his WRs. He said he wanted depth so I offered Bowe + Holmes for Nicks + 2.03. I know I may be selling low on Bowe and Holmes but I thought I could afford the move with my depth at WR. Surprisingly to me, he rejected the offer with as he is very down on Holmes.

He now says his draft picks bust and he's tired of that crapshoot, so he's looking to package Nicks and his 1.02 for "established talent". He asked for Harvin but I don't know if I'd trade Harvin for Nicks straight up in a PPR league. It would be close.

Now I'm thinking of offering:

Boldin + Bowe for

Nicks + 1.02 (I'm 99% sure that Matthews is going 1.01)

or would you rather:

Harvin + Bowe for

Nicks + 1.02

I want Nicks and think he's going to be a top tier WR, but I don't want to get blinders on and vastly overpay for him. Also, now that Steve Smith (Car) broke his arm, I don't know if I can afford to trade away Boldin and Bowe. That would leave me with starters, if I did the trade and Smith wasn't back to start the season, of Nicks and Harvin or Floyd, depending on where Jackson is.

We've been going round and round and I want to make something work, but I'm afraid I'm loosing my perspective on this.

Thanks for the opinion!

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

Hey,A couple of thoughts:I would do the Bowe/Holmes for Nicks deal (without 2.03) and I would happily accept the Boldin/Bowe deal. I am down on Bowe and think he will struggle. Boldin will have trouble most games. I think you are coming out way ahead on the Boldin deal and in decent shape in the other.Good luck.Jeff

Also, now that Steve Smith (Car) broke his arm, I don't know if I can afford to trade away Boldin and Bowe.

[Avery]

Hey,A couple of thoughts:I would do the Bowe/Holmes for Nicks deal (without 2.03) and I would happily accept the Boldin/Bowe deal. I am down on Bowe and think he will struggle. Boldin will have trouble most games. I think you are coming out way ahead on the Boldin deal and in decent shape in the other.Good luck.Jeff

Jeff- I would like your take on this trade option, dynasty PPR. I'm really deep at all positions so I'm looking to move depth for a stud and improve at TE.

I was offered:

Colston

Morgan

Stroughter

Clark or V. Davis

for

L. McCoy

R. Bush

H. Ward

Cooley

F. Davis

I do not want to give up both McCoy and Bush so I countered with:

Colston

Morgan

Clark or V. Davis- his choice

for

L. McCoy

H. Ward

Cooley

F. Davis

**EDIT** this was shot down and he counter offered:

Colston

Morgan

H. Miller

for

L. McCoy

H. Ward

Heap

Pitta

What do you think of his counter offer?

Thanks!

Hey, I like Colston and Miller. I like the value for you mainly because of Ward's age and I am not a huge McCoy fan. Miller is more than serviceable, as is Cooley/Davis. Colston is worth more than McCoy in PPR, and Miller/Ward are fairly equal.

I might try the 1.07 and Bowe .. adding in Royal if need be. If you add Royal, you might ask for TO or a pick back or offer just Bowe and Royal. No way would I move Austin or Wayne or Nicks for the pick

 

[Kree]

Thanks Jeff. Unfortunately QBs are sold at a premium and are much much harder to get, even over good young RBs like Stewart and Wells. Campbell is being held onto by a QB hoarder who is difficult to trade with when it comes to QBs, and the Garrard owner only has G and V Young, so he won't be moving anyone any time soon. Based on previous discussions though, I may be able to get Stafford for my 2011 1st round pick, Barber, Harrison, Jones and 2.06. Its a lot of parts but that would be my best shot at getting a young QB, thoug I still hesitate over Stafford. When it comes to QBs it comes down to overpaying and whether you are willing to do it. Any opinions on that trade? Kree

keep Palmer. That is way too much. I would take a chance on Tebow at2.09 if you do that deal and he is still there. How would Whitehurst cost? He will start games this year and would be a good guy to get cheap and stash. Also, I expect one of orlovsky &/or grossman to see action. Neither schaub or mcnabb is overly durable. Just thinking how to get cheap qb depth if you have the roster space

Should have clarified that the trade was for JAMES Jones on my end, not Felix.

I still think that someone with QB depth will be willing to part with one if/when they need rb/wr help preseason or in season

 

[Crazy Tony]

Jeff,

Trying to figure out how to fill my RB position post Draft.

I've been hoarding QBs which are premium and good trade bait in our league.

Tried to build around top WR/QB play.

Going for any handcuff I can and any RB I can.

I've tried to insure my position so any moves are improvement and current team is as 'bad as it gets'

10 Team Dynasty PPR League 25 rosters spots

2 QBs 2 RBs 3 WRs 1TE 1 W/T 2 W/R K DEF and 1 IDP

Pass 1pt 25yd 5pt TD 300+5pt bonus

REC 1pt 15yds 1PPR 100+ 5pt bonus

RUSH 1pt 10yds 100+5pt bonus

KR/PR 1pt =15yds. 150yd+5pts bonus. (Cribbs scores 278pts in our league last year. D.Amendola 209pts as example)

Also won't carry DEF/K/IDP until closer to start of season.

QB: Rivers, Kolb, Garrard, A.Smith, Bradford, Gradkowski (will drop)

WR: SSMITH NYG, DJackson, PHarvin, Burleson, Bess, Decker, S.Logan, J.Williams S.D., (FA K Walter, Nate Washington, Lance Moore)

RB: Forte, C.Taylor, JeHarrison, Hardesty, Dexter McCluster (Yahoo has at WR/RB), Gerhart, Ringer, Julius Jones, Mauris Morris.

TE: Gates, A. Hernandez

Before the draft.

My RBs were Harrison, Forte, Jones, Morris, (Faulk. JLewis, Cartwright, Q.Ganther, ChSimpson)

I traded Mannhingham for Chester Taylor. Insurance for top RB. OK to go down a WR.

Draft

Had lost of picks but felt stuck.

#5,9,16,18,19,25.

I had to take Hardesty to handcuff Harrison. Couldn't let other own take him and have him win starter spot.

Needed instant impact player. Wanted McCluster #9. Then Gerhart #16 but learned neither might fall.

I traded 16 and 2011 1st rounder for #7 overall pick. Now I get McCluster. But Bradford, Benn #9.

I was indifferent on those guys. I have QB/WRs but 1st rounder on Gerhart was overpaying.

So I traded #7 for #12,13 pick on condition that he not take McCluster.

Got Gerhart and Bradfort anyway at 12, 13 spots.

THat's how I got the roster you see above.

Now I have to make the most of it.

FYI I rostered Kolb since week 4 2009, McNabb owner turned down offer. HAHA.

People aren't big on Garrard for some reason. He's not awful.

(The owner of Campbell, Orton, Hasselbeck, Whitehurst rejected my Garrard Gradkowski offer...countered for KOLB/Grad for Barber).

Justified it by saying how much Kolb sucks... if so...why does he want him? Garrard could start on that guy's team. He's got 4 RBs ahead of Barber (Matthews, Benson, McCoy, Wells)

What players should I target above my current roster players?

Obviously any upgrade in RB...but I think this can work itself out as season goes on.

Meanwhile I need to improve my WR4 WR5 WR6.

RB Forte OR Taylor

RB CLE starter

Flex McCluster

Flex Burleson

Flex Bess?

Which QBs do you think I should trade?

Do you think I should go with 2 TE set? Seems like talent out there but I hate guessing if this is the week or not they'll get their TD.

Do you think I can plug in a RB the does KR/PR? That's why I had Logan, Cartwright, Simpson,

FAs:

WR

K Walter (I dropped him)

Nate Washington

Lance Moore

Hartline

Avant

Camarillo

J. Webb

m. EAsley

TE:

Boss NYG

Pitta

Dickson

Gronkowski

Heap

Scheffler

David Thomas NO

Jimmy Graham NO

J. Cook TN

RB

L.MClain BAL

DWard TB

Gcoffee SF

JJ Arrington DEN

Mike Hart

Deji Karim

Blount

JqBell

ShawnbryMcNeal

Cartwright

P. Hillis

LStephens-Howling

J. Parmale

J.Davis

Doubtful many of these guys will fill a void.

How long do I wait on younger talent? What are signs I should look for things are going well....not going well?

Of my young talent how long do I wait? Who do I drop and come back for later?

Decker, Williams, Hernandez, FAs, Bradford, A.Smith,

Who do I hang on to?

Handcuffs

Starter and my Handcuff

Best ~ Morris

AP~ Gerhart

Johnson ~ Ringer

Any other suggestions (Maroney is only NE RB taken)

QBs..

Any reason to grab any of the following young talents right now?

Crompton LeFevour Kafka LBrown, Pike McKown, Cantwell, Skelton, NDavis, S Wallace

Thanks in Advance!

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

Hey, at least you have some talented guys to work with. I think the first thing is to figure out who you like long term. I think Forte is worth more than what you would receive in return. Here are some ideas:dump julius, momo, and jwilliamsI would pick up Walter, L moore (could return kicks), karim or dward or even jdavis since you have the other two cleve rbsAt RB, I think I would look to consolidate some situations. Is there anyone who would give you a good starter for the Cleve pair? I am thinking of guys like Benson? I do like Harrison next yr but the situation could be a mess. I am thinking cheap options. What would Mike Bush cost? How about Ricky Williams? Just thinking cheap guys with upside. The I love the Ringer move. Is leon washington rostered? One sleeper to watch is patrick cobbs in miami. he could be their rb3 and returner. I think I would hold tight as long as possible and not look panicked to your leaguemates. You have a good team. In return leagues, many will emerge in training camp. Good luck.

[The Real Hipster Doofus]

Hey Jeff,

First off great work on the articles you do and the info you provide in this thread. I am looking for some feedback on a rebuild project that I am in the middle of. I took over a team that was a disaster and have made a lot of moves this offseason to try to change things.

12 team league, start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 RB/WR/TE, 1 K, 1 DEF. No PPR for RB, .5 PPR for WR and TE.

Here's the roster I started with.....

QB: Joe Flacco, Kevin Kolb, Jason Campbell, Matt Leinart

RB: Matt Forte, Laurence Maroney, Tim Hightower, Bernard Scott, Rashad Jennings

WR: Derrick Mason, Donnie Avery, Julian Edelman, Patrick Crayton, Johnny Knox, Brian Robiskie, Sammie Stroughter, Kevin Walter

TE: Kellen Winslow, Anthony Fasano

K: Garrett Hartley

DEF: Green Bay Packers

2010 Picks: 1.02, 1.13 (sandwich pick), 2.02, 3.02, 4.02

I have made around 20 deals since taking over the roster.

My current roster

QB: Matt Stafford, Sam Bradford, Jason Campbell

RB: Tim Hightower, James Starks, Shawnbrey McNeal

WR: Dez Bryant, Chaz Schilens, Donnie Avery, Dexter McCluster, Jacoby Jones, Steve Johnson, Malcolm Kelly, Darius Heyward-Bey, Legadu Naanee, Brian Robiskie, Sammie Stroughter, Kevin Walter

TE: Zack Miller (Oak), Rob Gronkowski, Martellus Bennett, Garrett Graham, Tony Moeaki, Shawn Nelson

K: Robbie Gould

DEF: Green Bay Packers

2011 picks: My own, plus 4 first round picks from the teams that had picks 1.03, 1.05, 1.07, 1.08 in the 2010 draft.

This league has 3 teams that are a clear cut above everyone else so I felt I needed to go for a different strategy. I felt I probably could have made this team into a playoff team in a year or so, but doing that would have always left me as just a low level playoff team with no chance of winning anything.

My team is pretty much a lock to have the 1.01 pick, and I can safely say that the other four picks will be in the 1.02-1.09 range, with a good chance that a couple end up as top 5 picks. My strategy is to wait until the draft next season when those picks are at their peak value and shop them for a combo of veteran talent as well as making some of the picks myself.

What are your thoughts on my overall progress?

Thanks Jeff

 

[Jeff Tefertiller]

I agree on the move to blow up the team. Your Rbs/WRs were not good enough to carry you. I think I would continue to acquire 1sts. I know I swim upstream on this but I think they gain in value the more you have. You can move around more. How many 2nds do you have? I ask because you have some players whom I would try to pair with a 2nd (esp if not yours) for a first. I would also keep one longshot QB just to hope to strike gold (for value). I am thinking of guys like Orlovsky, Thigpen, or Leftwich if available. Who are the best RB/WR on the waiver wire? Jeff

RBS - D Williams, J. Stewart, Mendenhall, Moreno, Ray Rice, F Jackson, Lynch, depth

WR's - Fitzgerald, AJ, Jennings, Harvin, Dez Bryant, Avery, Royal, B. Tate, Devin Thomas, then nothing else

TE- V Davis, Winslow, Lewis

Start QB, 2RB, 3WR, TE, FLEX, K, DST (12 team dynasty)

PPR, 6 PER TD, 1pt per 25 pass, 1pt per 10 rush/rec

We get 1pt per 25 KR and 1pt per 20 PR yards

I'd be getting 1.2 and sending 1.3 and Royal

I already drafted Bryant at 1.1

and pick 1.4 as well

I like it a lot if you love a RB more than the others.

What would you offer from my team for the 1.01 pick the team needs WR's and I have a couple of them.

I might try the 1.07 and Bowe .. adding in Royal if need be. If you add Royal, you might ask for TO or a pick back or offer just Bowe and Royal. No way would I move Austin or Wayne or Nicks for the pick

I offered Bowe, Royal & 1.07 for 1.01 and he countered me with Austin, Royal & 1.07 for 1.01 & 3.06 don't really know if I want to do this but I do have some WR's to work with.

I agree on the move to blow up the team. Your Rbs/WRs were not good enough to carry you. I think I would continue to acquire 1sts. I know I swim upstream on this but I think they gain in value the more you have. You can move around more. How many 2nds do you have? I ask because you have some players whom I would try to pair with a 2nd (esp if not yours) for a first. I would also keep one longshot QB just to hope to strike gold (for value). I am thinking of guys like Orlovsky, Thigpen, or Leftwich if available. Who are the best RB/WR on the waiver wire? Jeff

Hey Jeff,First off great work on the articles you do and the info you provide in this thread. I am looking for some feedback on a rebuild project that I am in the middle of. I took over a team that was a disaster and have made a lot of moves this offseason to try to change things. 12 team league, start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 RB/WR/TE, 1 K, 1 DEF. No PPR for RB, .5 PPR for WR and TE. Here's the roster I started with.....QB: Joe Flacco, Kevin Kolb, Jason Campbell, Matt LeinartRB: Matt Forte, Laurence Maroney, Tim Hightower, Bernard Scott, Rashad JenningsWR: Derrick Mason, Donnie Avery, Julian Edelman, Patrick Crayton, Johnny Knox, Brian Robiskie, Sammie Stroughter, Kevin WalterTE: Kellen Winslow, Anthony FasanoK: Garrett HartleyDEF: Green Bay Packers2010 Picks: 1.02, 1.13 (sandwich pick), 2.02, 3.02, 4.02 I have made around 20 deals since taking over the roster. My current rosterQB: Matt Stafford, Sam Bradford, Jason CampbellRB: Tim Hightower, James Starks, Shawnbrey McNealWR: Dez Bryant, Chaz Schilens, Donnie Avery, Dexter McCluster, Jacoby Jones, Steve Johnson, Malcolm Kelly, Darius Heyward-Bey, Legadu Naanee, Brian Robiskie, Sammie Stroughter, Kevin WalterTE: Zack Miller (Oak), Rob Gronkowski, Martellus Bennett, Garrett Graham, Tony Moeaki, Shawn NelsonK: Robbie GouldDEF: Green Bay Packers2011 picks: My own, plus 4 first round picks from the teams that had picks 1.03, 1.05, 1.07, 1.08 in the 2010 draft. This league has 3 teams that are a clear cut above everyone else so I felt I needed to go for a different strategy. I felt I probably could have made this team into a playoff team in a year or so, but doing that would have always left me as just a low level playoff team with no chance of winning anything. My team is pretty much a lock to have the 1.01 pick, and I can safely say that the other four picks will be in the 1.02-1.09 range, with a good chance that a couple end up as top 5 picks. My strategy is to wait until the draft next season when those picks are at their peak value and shop them for a combo of veteran talent as well as making some of the picks myself. What are your thoughts on my overall progress?Thanks Jeff

I don't have any 2nd's. I had a few, but I moved those in deals to get another 1st and to get Zack Miller. I think he has a Brent Celek like breakout this year and his value rises big time. There really is next to nothing on the waiver wire considering the rosters are pretty deep. Shawnbrey McNeal was the best RB I could find, and there isn't anything I can find receiver wise. I did make another trade yesterday, moving Sam Bradford and Legadu Naanee for Kenny Britt. I am not super high on Britt personally, but I felt he might make a better trading chip to try to acquire more 1st's with.

I also have Malcolm Kelly, Early Doucet and M. Easley on my taxi rookie squad.

Thanks

I would keep Johnson because of the price. How many years can you keep him? I would look to move Moss, esp since he has another year left on his deal. I think you can get a high pick or a great taxi player. How many can you keep?
