Where to go from here.... Looking to move Jimmy Graham? (1 Viewer)

[wheeleke]

I play in a 10-team, 2 QB, .5 PPR league. After this weekend, we'll have one team at 2-0, 8 teams at 1-1, and one team at 0-2. So by no means am I panicking yet but considering some moves to make in the next week or two. 

My roster is as follows:

QB - Cousins, Rivers, Siemian, Palmer

RB - David Johnson, Jay Ajayi, Theo Riddick, James White, Thomas Rawls, Derrick Henry

WR - Michael Thomas, Golden Tate, Stefan Diggs

TE - Jimmy Graham

K - Walsh

DEF - Cincinnati

Since it's a 2-QB league, guys that have additional value are QBs and there are some teams with only 2 on their roster (which means they don't have a 3rd to account for bye weeks). Thinking of moving Palmer or Cousins for some help at RB or WR. Hunter Henry is also on waivers. Granted there are lots of mouths to feed in the San Diego offense. Curious if you think they will phase out Gates now that he has the TD record. I could get Henry off waivers then trade away Graham (maybe to Greg Olsen owner) for RB or WR. Any thoughts on who to target at RB or WR?

Just go get Henry.

If you are going to trade a qb, I would trade Palmer. Cousins always starts slow and drop Rawls. Not Graham.

Here are the two teams in my league with only 2 QBs  on the roster. Keep in mind that the remaining QBs on waivers are Josh McCown, Case Keenum (assuming Bradford doesn't play), Jacoby Brissett, and Mike Glennon

Team 1:

QB - Dalton, Prescott; WR - Antonio Brown, A.J. Green, Dez Bryant, DeVante Parker, Corey Coleman; RB - Ameer Abdullah, Tevin Coleman, Chris Carson, Jonathan Stewart, Doug Martin, Samaje Perine; TE - Delanie Walker; K - Gano; DEF - Oakland

Team 2: 

QB - Brady, Roethlisberger; WR - Demaryius Thomas, Kelvin Benjamin, Davante Adams, Donte Moncrief, Corey Davis; RB - DeMarco Murray, Leonard Fournette, Christian McCaffrey, Jamaal Charles; TE - Tyler Eifert, Jesse James, Julius Thomas; K - Gostkowski; DEF - Seattle

Any trade you would make if you are moving Carson Palmer to either of these teams? Brady and Roethlisberger (Team 2) share byes in Week 9. Prescott and Dalton (Team 1) share byes in Week 6.

Any other takes on this. Would really appreciate some feedback. Trying to decide to move Palmer for a RB or a WR. Considering trading Palmer and James White to Dalvin Cook as well. (owner has Kareem Hunt, Tarik Cohen, and Ezekiel Elliott at RB with Matt Ryan, Tyrod Taylor, and DeShone Kizer at QB)

would team 1 consider palmer for doug martin? doesnt get you immediate help though.

i dont think team 2 would give you anything of value since palmer is a clear 3rd qb on that roster

your oirignal question, i think you can expect more of the same from last year from the SD TE's. Henry is a decent add though as if gates were to get injured he becomes a decent low end TE1. i wouldnt trade graham now, he has no value and you are better off waiting for him to get healthy and hope he plays better.

I am going to try and swing for the fences first. May try and offer up Carson Palmer to owner with Dalvin Cook. If that doesn't work, may go the route of Palmer for Doug Martin. May sit tight and see how this weekend goes first.

Thanks for answering mine.  I'd pick up Henry for sure.  He may not be the stud goalline target until Gates is gone, but he should be better than Graham in a .5 ppr. The guy is look to deal is Siemien. He is at his highest value.  Maybe you can package someone with him and go after Demarco Murray (ironic given that I'm trading him). But locking up TEN backfield could win your league.

True but I think long-term, I'd rather hang on to Siemian. He is in a better offensive environment than any of my quarterbacks other than Rivers and I believe in his offensive coordinator Mike McCoy (has done awesome job getting career seasons from P. Manning and Tebow when Tebow was a thing). But I see your point. Cousins has one of the worst schedules for QB this season. I'm not sure I want to spend a QB on getting D. Murray back when I have a guy that may steal his job by season's end.
