Blow This Up? *POLL*

This is the place for team advice - should I make this trade, should I draft that player, etc.

Do I blow this up or give it a go?

Blow it up. Sell those older guys.

Blow This Up? *POLL*

Postby Pac_Eddy » Tue Sep 05, 2017 6:46 am

Hey guys. Just made my cuts for this 12 team, 0.5 ppr, single flex league. I've taken a severe beating by injuries & retirements the last two seasons. My RB corp in particular is trash.

I have all my 2018 picks + an additional second rounder.

Would you keep trying for the playoffs this year or blow it all up by selling Antonio Brown, Dez Bryant, and Jimmy Graham? Starters (+1 flex) are in bold.

Derek Carr, Jay Cutler, Tom Savage, Paxton Lynch
Eddie Lacy, Danny Woodhead, Marlon Mack, Dwayne Washington (DET), Branden Oliver
Antonio Brown, Dez Bryant, Allen Robinson, Chris Godwin, Jeff Janis, Chris Conley
Jimmy Graham, Hunter Henry, Gerald Everett

Thanks for any comments.

I would give it a run and work the wire hard the first few weeks...if the season starts going sideways by Week 5/6, then you can make a grand announcement that your players are for sale.

Although selling now you will get a better price in all likelihood.

Go for it you have very high end players. If you start to fall out of playoff race sell those players off a high Week. Get a few younger players in the league at WR. Then gotta hope for the best with the Rookie RB coming out next year

I would try selling dez for a running back and a younger receiver. If you cant, plan on selling. Either waiting until week 4/5 or now. depending on what you can get. I dont see you winning much in the playoffs with your current backs.

If you can trade for a solid RB without giving up any studs, you have a shot at competing. Hunter should be a solid TE this year, so maybe try to move Graham and a pick (and/or Woodhead) for an upgrade at RB. Doesn't have to be a sexy name, but someone who's value is low and will still put up RB1/2 numbers. And feel free to drop Janis for something better off waivers.

I think the best position to be weak at is RBs, because undoubtedly there will be 5-7 strong WW pickups available during the season as backs get injured or catch a case of fumblitis.

If you are doing trash about two weeks before your leagues trade deadline, shop AB, Dez, and Graham around to playoff contenders. Try not to just get picks as those are hit and miss, a combo of young talent that seems to be developing + picks is the way to go.

First...see what Graham can bring...henry will be fine as a starter....then I agree see what you can get for Dez......focus on RB's...then hedge you bet...work the waiver wire ...give it a few weeks....then if going wrong direction sell Brown...but allows you to hedge your bets....

Some good tips. I'll start looking for a halfway decent RB that I can get for Graham, or maybe Dez for a WR + RB.

I would trade Dez and Jimmy right now.
I prefer Hunter to Jimmy this year, and for the years coming up.

Target a WR, RB & RB for the 2. I think you can easily turn this around and become younger.

Your top 3 WRs are great but you have no depth to sustain a single injury, so you would need a PERFECT season to win.

I would definitely give it a go. Who knows, Lacy and Woodhead could actually produce this year. If they do, then you should have a solid team. If not... it's not like you can't blow it up during the season.
