Team 3 in sig. Half point ppr. QB/2WR/2RB/2Flex/TE
Rebuilding after finish last in 2016.
I have 3 2018 1sts, one should be top 2.
Current Team
QB: Wilson, Ryan
RB: Howard, Gordon, Mixon, Ameer, Booker, Dixon, D Washington, Pumphrey
WR: Cooks, Parker, Tyrell, Doctson, Ross, M Williams, White, Brown, J Hunter
TE: Ertz, OJH, Hooper, Jonnu
I think with some luck this team can compete, as this league is only in its second year and there are no real powerhouses yet. Obviously my biggest need is WR, and I've considered trades of moving Howard for Watkins as the centerpiece but cannot get myself to pull the trigger. I easily have the strongest backfield in the league and think I may be better off using WR2/3's rather than paying up for a big name WR1.
Open to all suggestions, just trying to figure out how I should approach trades through camp. I could also look to use some of my future picks to help shore up WR.
appreciate the feedback.

Re: What next? Need team advice
If you can get Watkins for OJ Howard or close to it in a non TE premium league, I think you have to do it. If it's for Jordan Howard, I'd probably hold too, unless the pot gets sweetened. Beyond that, you have a very good team. Don't rush to make a move. John Brown could rebound, Doctson could develop into something. Your bench is fairly strong, even if it's filled with a few question marks. Those 2018 1st rounders will be most valuable after this season, so I'd really try to hold off moving them.
If it were me, I'd try to move Parker because I'm not a fan. If you are, wait for the season to begin, figure out your weaknesses and make slight tweaks here and there.

Re: What next? Need team advice
My guess was that it was Jordan Howard for Watkins, using his RB depth to bolster his WR depth. Personally I would not do that because I just don't trust Watkins, but I would do O.J. Howard in a second for Watkins even though I don't trust him.
You mentioned the league is new, if any of the owners are new to dynasty I would try for a top level WR (a step up from Watkins) using Howard as new to dynasty owners won't be quite as stingy with their WRs as more veteran dynasty guys will be. If all the owners have dynasty experience, I would agree with your stance to shoot for more of WR2 level guys as trying to get top WRs is almost never worth it because the cost is so prohibitive.
The one exception for me with your team would to be to try to use Cooks or Parker in a trade to upgrade to a top WR and then filling in with WR2/3 types behind them. It would require you to have an owner in love with those guys and also have a top WR that you like, but that would be the only other way I would pursue to get a top WR if no one bites on Jordan Howard.
