Do I Need a WR1 Upgrade?

Postby Petrolbomber » Thu Jul 27, 2017 11:21 am

This is for team one in sig. I have been making some moves. I just acquired Ajayi to add to my RB stable. Even owning some number one WRs from their respective teams, should I chase a WR1 by trading one of my three top RBs? Who would you prefer to trade away?

I have the opportunity to acquire ARob, or I could also target Alshon + and maybe get a pick or additional RB back. What are the thoughts out there?

Also, quick question for team 3: Would you trade Ebron for Edelman, straight up? (I get Edelman)

In a .5 PPR league I don't think you necessarily need a stud WR to win you championships. Between Gurley/Gordon/Ajayi you should be able to make up the value of your lower end WR1s points wise throughout the season. I'd stick with those 3 unless someone is in dire need at RB. Plus you have better depth at WR than RB so if you sold an RB you could be in trouble with injury/bye week fill-in.

I do think you could use a WR1. What would it take to get Arob or Alshon+? Have you already been in talks with the owners?

ADP and value wise I could get Alshon+, I'm thinking the plus could be a 2018 1st. He was originally interested in Gurley (prior to Ajayi acquisition). He hinted at Gurley and Mike Williams for ARob. That is an overpay IMO, and would require another piece back. He just posted today he is looking to package T Coleman and Decker. So Coleman is available.
All 3 of my backs are close in value. I want Gurley to succeed, and being the younger back would prefer to hold him.

In addition, same owner has both WRs.

As a side note, you would get more responses if you included your team in the message. I never follow random links around; it's both annoying and bad practice.

But since I have your attention, check this squad out! http://www60.myfantasyleague.com/2017/home/20746

I would give Ebron for Edelman in a second, given your TE depth.

I think you are OK at WR, but adding a WR1 never hurts. I would trade Gordon, but I would wait to see if Gurley plays better first, and make due with current WRs until then.

I would trade Gordon or Ajayi. Their ADP probably won't get much higher than it is right now. .5 ppr, could you target doug baldwin? I also like alston if you could get a 2018 1st.

I got Edelman and 2018 3rd for Ebron.
Still working on a deal for the WR1 in the other league. Any other thoughts?
