Looking for some trade advice. Thanks for your help in advance.

In a 14 Team non ppr QB flex league. My roster is as follows:

Starters:

QB1 Matt Ryan

RB1 L. McCoy

RB2 J. Bell

WR1 V. Jackson

WR2 M. Colston

WR3 M. Austin

TE1 J. Thomas

FLEX RGIII

K M. Bryant

DEF Jets

Bench:

QB M. Glennon

WR M. Brown

TE J. Finley

RB B. Brown

RB W. McGahee

RB F. Jackson

RB A. Bradshaw

Was just offered Roddy White for Fred Jackson and Ahmad Bradshaw. Do I accept or is it too much to give up at RB for the risky WR upgrade?

Also note that P. Harvin, A. Brown, and S. Vereen are all available on the waiver wire. Curious to know if one of them would be a good pickup for my team if I went forward with this trade.

Thank you again in advance for your advice.

 
Jeff,

Need to start any 4 of these guys. 6/td, 1/10 yds, no ppr.

MJD vs Indy

Bilal Powell @ Tenn

BPierce @ Buff

DWilson @ KC

Cruz @ KC

VJackson vs Ariz

Julius Thomas vs Phil

If you could, please give me 4 starters and a 5th "next guy in". Thanks!

 
Hi Jeff, I'm completely underwhelmed with Chris Johnson. Would you sit him against the Jets for Tavon Austin or Bernard Pierce (how much rice plays who knows?) trouble is Austin plays tonight.

TIA!

 
Jeff - quick start/sit for tonight.

I have Cook and Thomas at TE.

I have the option of playing both, or rolling with a 3WR, who is Shorts at the moment.

Do you like Thomas over Cook at TE, and if so, would you start Shorts over Cook in the WR/TE flex?

Standard scoring except PPR after 5 receptions.

Thanks

 
Hey Jeff

I am in a standard PPR league. Someone has dropped WR Malcolm Floyd (SD) as he has been hurt. Would you pick him up and if so who would you drop from my bench Reuben Randall (NYG) or Nate Washington (Ten)?

We start 2 WR and my 2 starters are A. Brown (Pitt) and Bowe (KC)

On my bench I have WR: Shorts (Jax), Givens (Stl), Washington (Ten), Randall (NYG)

Thanks.

Jeff -

Looking for help at RB2. .5 pt ppr. Otherwise, standard scoring.

Reggie Bush or Gio?

I'm leaning Gio, but if Bush is healthy, is he the better overall play? It looks like he's going to play.

Also, if you had to grab a desparation WR (AJohnson hurt), do you like Holmes or Rice?

Thanks

 
Jeff,

I apologize for asking this every week, but I should be in position to have the first or second waiver pick next week?

Any big Rb pu's possibly....coming up? or any season changing guy I guess.

Thanks,

Rob
No problem. I suspect at least one RB injury this week so I might wait if I could hold the 1 waiver spot

 
In deep trouble at QB, Rodgers on a bye this week and Freeman is my backup. I need to pick up one of the following for just this week. 6pt/td, 1pt/25 yds passing, 1pt/10 yds rushing...Move needs to be made by noon Friday.

Pryor vs Washington (likely choice as long as he practices Thursday)

Flynn vs Washington (if Pryor is definitively ruled out by Firday noon)

Hoyer vs Cinci

Tannehill @ NO

EJ vs Balt

Geno @ Tenn

Playing top team in the league and afraid it's gonna be ugly...

Appreciate the help!
If willing to risk it, Flynn has a chance to put up decent numbers. If wanting a solid choice, go with Tannehill. Vegas thinks this will be a high scoring game

Hey Jeff

Thanks.
I would not pick him up over your current WRs

 
Jeff.

What do you think about A Ellington in ppr?

Thanks
I like Ellington and think he is talented, but would not drop a good player for him in a redraft league
Jeff,

I too like Ellington and have that GUT feeling he is going to become the full time starter this year...do I need some Pepto or could I be onto something?
love him in dynasty/keeper but think AZ will not run enough PLUS give Mendenhall enough carries to make Ellington frustrating

I would go with Reggie every week he is playing

I like Homes, S Hill, and if desperate look at Terrance Williams DAL if Austin is out

 
Jeff, PPR

P.Thomas or Matthews this week?

R.White,Wright,S. Hill, M. Brown,Avery......I need THREE of those guys with Nelson on bye. Hoping White is on the mend.

Thanks

If RRice is out, I'm guessing I have to somehow get Pierce into the lineup. Do you agree, and who would you sit to make room for him?

Hi Jeff i need some help with my main Money Keeper

16 Teams, non PPR, starting 1QB/1RB/1WR/1TE/2FLEX + IDPs. Players have both contract years (from 1 to 3) and a contract.

My roster is:

Brady, Tom NEP QB 5.50 1 Fitzpatrick, Ryan TEN QB 0.50 1 Forte, Matt CHI RB 1.00 3 Jackson, Steven ATL RB (O) 22.50 3 Mathews, Ryan SDC RB 18.00 3 McCoy, LeSean PHI RB 13.00 1 Miller, Lamar MIA RB 4.00 3 Harvin, Percy SEA WR (O) 9.00 2 Johnson, Stevie BUF WR (P) 2.50 1 Shorts, Cecil JAC WR 0.50 2 Thompkins, Kenbrell NEP WR 0.50 3 Graham, Jimmy NOS TE 0.50 1 Gronkowski, Rob NEP TE (O) 8.50 2 and i have a very good IDP core.

I can trade Mathews + a Low Rookie Second Draft Pick and get Ridley (16x3) or trade Mathews and get Decker (2,5x2) plus a Low Rookie Second Draft Pick.

Looking at my Roster, WRs is def a weakness, but in this league RBs have the most value and since i'm losing McCoy at the end of the season a core of Forte/Ridley/Miller seems pretty solid.

I know that Decker would be a starter in my lineup wich is Brady/Forte/McCoy/Stevie J/Gronk/Graham, but i don't think that the difference between Stevie J and him is so big.

What would you do?

 
Jeff,

Who is the big pu this week? Or is there one at rb preferably.?

Woodhead(prbly unavailable), Blount, R. Jennings.....or wait til after tonight to see what you think. Of course Lacy should be coming back for the team in sig.

Thanks

Hey Jeff

I am in a standard PPR redraft league.

The following players have been dropped and are available on waivers:

1. TE Brandon Myers (NYG)
2. WR Vincent Brown (SD)
3. QB Ben Roethlisberger (Pitt)
4. Carolina Def

Would you drop any of my below bench players from my team for any of the above players? The drop doesn't have to be a position for position.

1. TE Jordan Reed (Was)
2. WR Rueben Randle (NYG), Chris Givens (Stl), Nate Washington (Ten)
3. QB Eli Manning (NYG)
4. Baltimore Def.

Thanks

 
Standard PPR league

Would you trade my RB Dog Martin and WR Dwayne Bowe for his WR Dez Bryant and RB Wilson (NYG)?

My current WR's are A. Brown, Bowe, Shorts, Washington, Givens, Randle

My current RB's are Bush, Murray, Martin, J. Bell

My TE's are Clay and Reed

It's head to head and I am currently 3-1

We start 2 RB and 2 WR and 2 Flex (RB/WR/TE)

Thoughts?

Hey Jeff couple quick WW questions... PPR LEAGUE

ALFRED MORRIS went out with a rib injury, NOT going to drop him BUT on the WW: (Morris may not be back wk 6 after his bye)

Roy Helu Jr (LEANING TOWARDS HIM)

D Woodhead

Bryce Brown

R Jennings

J Rodgers

L Blount

B Bolden]

My options to DROP:

NOT====Matt Forte , Alfred Morris

Wanted to keep Ben Tate in case Arian Foster has a problem

BUT, I like having Joique Bell because Reggie Bush has already had an injury and J Bell posted some nice numbers

So, I guess Ben Tate would be the WW victim ??????

WOULD YOU & WHO WOULD YOU TAKE?

This is ??? 1 I'll send another one for my WRs....THANKS AGAIN
Dont worry about Morris for a week. He is on a bye and should be ok by then

 
tate516 said:
PPR LEAGUE WR ???

I have

Wes Welker

Jordy Nelson

DeSean Jackson

Julian Edelman

DeAndre Hopkins

***I am worried about the inevitable return of (Gronk and Amendola ) who will get hurt again) will Edelman still hold his value?

***Out of my current group of WRs I am leaning towards Hopkins as someone I should consider letting go........

WW OPTIONS:

Nate Washington

Miles Austin (possible for wk6)

Emmanuel Sanders

Denarius Moore

Santana Moss

Mike Williams TB

Kendall Wright

Kenbrell Thompkins

Trindon Holliday--( We get return yardage 15=1pt he has 1664 yards for like 85 pts so far this season)

MY OPTIONS

I CAN ONLY PICK UP ONE----WHO HAS THE MOST UPSIDE OR DO I STAND PAT WITH WHO I HAVE?

I COULD KEEP ALL 5, I CURRENTLY HAVE.



I CAN DROP 1 OF MY DEFS & 1 WR THEN I ADD 2 WRS TO MY ROSTER---WHO WOULD YOU PICK?

QUESTION 1: MY DEFENSES ARE THE BENGALS AND THE SAINTS! WHO WOULD YOU DROP?

QUESTION 2: WHICH WR(S) WOULD YOU PICK UP?

THANKS!!!!
I would not drop any of those WRs. If wanting to drop a defense, dump the Bengals and pick up Mike Williams

Woodhead(prbly unavailable), Blount, R. Jennings.....or wait til after tonight to see what you think. Of course Lacy should be coming back for the team in sig.

Lacy is back. Blount should excel in the games NE is playing with the lead in the 2nd half. He gets most of his carries in the 2nd. Other than Woodhead, I do not love any of the choices

So would you take Blount .... Drop hunter or Bess. Or save my waiver pick for now. Helu another possibility.

Nevermind on this for now....I'm going to hold that high pick another week. Our waivers processed over night

My team in sig. Guy offered Sproles and 'S. Smith for Megatron.

What are you thoughts.

Here is his team:

Stafford

Forte,Sproles,Ellington,Woodhead,BGE,M.Bush

Marshall,Amendola, S. Smith,S. Moss,Tate,Sanu

Davis,Fleener

Love to have Sproles, but .......that weakens me at wr pretty bad doesn't it. If no do you see a counter offer here?

Same team in sig....ppr.

Would you offer P Thomas for Wilson? Guess depends on if Giants can get things going again, but I know you like Wilson.

Thanks

 
Hey Jeff - couple of start/sit questions in a 10 team, standard scoring league except .5 ppr

(1) With RG3 out, need a bye week replacement at QB. Leaning Hoyer, but have Pryor, Dalton, Cutler, and Bradford available on WW.

(2) Desean or Nicks at WR2. Leaning Desean because of NY defense, but he's been brutal of late. Nicks hasn't been much better. Expect a bounce back from both. Also have Wallace as an option.

(3) Stick with Texans D on the road, or opt for a WW D of Indy, NOLA, or Browns.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Jeff,

1 point per reception - Dynasty League

I have Rob Gronkowski on my team but he of course isn't back yet and have been filling in with scrubs of the waiver wire with if I'm lucky get me 3 or 4 points from the position.

The Gonzalez Owner is looking to trade him away since he has Cameron and J. Thomas at the position. He is just looking for a WR.

My team is currently 3-1 and having Gonzalez until Gronk comes back would be extremely helpful and even when Gronk comes back I can have the option of starting both Gonzalez and Gronkowksi at the same time, one of them at a flex spot.

I was thinking of offering Sidney Rice for him. I'm kind of leary of trading a young WR in Rice who is only 27 and I'm thinking he will probably be done in Seattle after this year and possibly go to a team where he can get more targets next year. Would it be worth trading a young WR in Rice for a 1 year rental stud in Gonzalez (assuming Gonzalez retires at the end of the year). Unless you think the backups I have will get me by until Gronkowski comes back.

Other then Gronkwoski I have:

Scott Chandler TE BUF

Brandon Pettigrew TE DET

Fred Davis TE WAS

12 Team Redraft, 1 PPR, 6-Pass TD.

Starts

QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1RB/WR, TE, K, DST... 8 Bench 1IR

My Team

QB: Newton

RB: Rice, Sproles, Woodhead, Vereen, Quizz, Bolden, Stewart

WR: Marshall, A. Brown, Thompkins, Michael Floyd, M. Austin, Terrance Williams, K. Allen

TE: Witten

Stream both K and DST

I'm wondering if I should trade Woodhead or keep him as a weekly FLEX. I like my receivers, but would love one more stud. Should I package Thompkins with either Floyd or Austin and try to move up? Who would a realistic target be?

I'm currently 2-2

Thanks in advance!

 
Hey Jeff

1) In a deep non ppr 16 teamer I need 2 wr and a flex from Tavon Austin vs JAC, Michael Floyd vs CAR, Keenan Allen @ OAK, Ted Ginn @ ARI, Zac Stacy vs JAC, and Jonathan Franklin v DET

2) In a non ppr league I have Gronk and Amendola so obviously if they play they go in. The problem is if they do play I have some decisions to make

If Gronk plays who of Bilal Powell @ ATL or Lamar Miller vs BAL should be my RB2?

Thanks
