Just took over team 2 what do you think I should do ?

Maybe I can go with..
C.Newton (Best QB)
L.Miller (Top 5 RB)
C.Hyde (Good RB should have a nice year)
D.Hopkins (Top 3 WR)
A.Jeffery (Top 5-10 WR)
K.Allen (Top 5-10 WR)
R.Cobb (Should have bounce back year)
K.Wright (Solid WR3/4)
E.Ebron (High upside TE)

So I gotta get 1 good RBs out of..
2017 1st , 2nd , 2nd , 3rd , 4th
C.Latimer
J.Cutler
M.Bennett
M.Lee
T.McBride
R.Rodgers
K.Bell
J.Hunter
M.Rivera


Think it can happen ?

I would look for help at RB without jeopardizing your WRs. You have a good starting 4 WRs with not much depth behind them. But your RBs aren't going to get you there. If it was me, I would look to move Kelce + a pick to get a solid dependable RB. I'd try your 2nd rounder first. Say move Kelce + 2nd to TE needy team for whatever solid RB you can get. Then use your 1st on a rookie RB if the pick placement deems it necessary. But, keep in mind, I'd do that cuz I'm willing to gamble on the Ebron/ASJ combo giving you at least a streaming TE option, if not one of them turning into a stud. If that scares you or you aren't much of a gambler, then trading Kelce doesn't sound too sexy I don't imagine. But, I think Kelce's market is higher than it should be, so I'd cash in on that and shore up what is easily your biggest weakness.

Good luck! :thumbup:

Yeah I'll try to move any TE , Duke , Crowell and 2017 picks for some RBs .. I feel like my top 4 WRs are real strong and my 5 , 6 WRs are pretty good with Wright and Agholor

Aside from cutting the fat (Bradshaw, Lee, Hunter, Rivera), I would definitely try to move a TE. But I don't think I would try that hard right now since their values should still be on the rise.

You should be able to get serviceable RB production from Hyde and Crowell/Johnson.

You're obviously set at QB, WR, and TE so I would draft some RBs and hope some of them hit.

Yuck. That's a sticky situation with no draft pics. Might be good to know how many years the contracts are for each player. If I'm reading your rules right in team 2, it is loose play after 3 or trade.

So how long have you had Cam? He's your best trade piece and only hope of improving your RB situation.

Other trade bait with value is: Crowell&Johnson, Agholor-or-Moncrief, Rodgers, Ebron. Look to move these players for 2016/2017 pics now. Horde those until closer to rookie draft, and then package them with players to move up. If you can get high enough in the draft, your priorities are RB, QB

Just out of curiosity, what does your waiver wire look like and when can you play that? Any decent RBs there?

Cam has 2 more years I wouldn't move him yet , I feel like I have a lot left to trade my whole 2017 draft , 2 or 3 TEs , Agholor , Wright , Duke/Crowell

Waiver wire is real bad nothing on there

Contract concept aside, I actually like Kenny Bell a lot this year (that's just a tangent). I agree with the post above about Kelce. Last offseason I unloaded him for AP and aside from week 1 was happy I did, and I only had Clay to roll out each week. You've got young options at TE and the difference between TE3-5 and TE 6-8 is pretty negligible so unlock the perceived value into real value where you can and get someone with an expiring RB contract to give you an overpay for Kelce.

Yeah i agree but I have ASJ or Ebron to plug in that I think are just as good as Kelce

I agree. I like the trade, and I like ASJ and Ebron enough to not worry about Bennett. Bennett is like a freeroll now, if he pans out - great, if not - no loss.

Not sure I like that trade - Cleveland likely restores respectability to its run game with Hugh there (but if Mack leaves that might put a damper on that take). I think you should have been able to get Miller for Kelce outright, but apparently the Miller owner didn't think so.

I would send ASJ and Moncrief for a better RB and a WR. Maybe take a slight hit at WR but upgrade your RB core. Hopkins, Allen, and Alshon should be able to carry you.

The other option would be to ride it out and wait until 2017 when the RB class should be excellent!

Its not a TE bonus league I view Miller as a top 5 back and Kelce as just another TE like all the others not named Gronk..

One more solid bye week type RB should put me over the top

Nice work on the trade! I like.

Now see if you can bundle Agholor, Bennett, and Bradshaw for that other RB. Target team with week WRs. Failing that, pull Bradshaw back (hope for the best) and move the other two for 2017 picks (hang onto those, your building next year to championship level).

My waiver targets for RB are Hightower, C.Michael, J.White, B.Bolden, and M.Davis. Any of those floating around?

g'luck!
