BradleyM Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I am weak at receiver in a 12 team PPR league. I was considering trading away Brees and trying to upgrade at WR. I would have to fight through the first 4 weeks with Brady being suspended.. but could use help at WR. Thoughts on who to try to trade and trade for.My team:QB: Brees/ BradyWR: Brown, Baldwin, Diggs, CoatesRB: Charles, Ingram, Foster, Yeldon, Coleman TE: Gates/FleenerHis Team: (He just lost Romo)QB: Garroppolo/ Romo / Alex Smith RB: Gurley, D Williams, Sproles, A Morris, MckinnonWR: Jeffrey, Sanders, Cobb, Funchess, CruzTE: Olsen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkraft896 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I would try Brees and Yeldon for Cobb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradleyM Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Any more advice? Thank you everyone :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MnLefty Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 While it would be nice to pounce on the guy who needs a QB, he's really thin at rb and not strong at wr... not sure there's a deal there. I would maybe throw out the same deal that jkraft did, only with Brady instead of Brees since he's already on Jimmy G... or look for somebody else weak at QB?

blaw23 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I agree on trying Brady instead of Brees, since he already has Garropolo. You could try Brady and Yeldon for Cobb. Although I am not sure that gets it done. You may have to go up to Foster and Brady to get Cobb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyRoos Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 You only need a solid WR2. Surely there may be another team where you could workup a deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradleyM Posted August 30, 2016 Author Share Posted August 30, 2016 Unfortunately, he is the only one that needs a qb. Do I help or hurt my team more.. by giving up brees for 4 games.. til brady is back? i would be streaming of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MnLefty Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 Hurt... Not to get wrapped up in a preseason performance but Diggs and Bridgewater looked really sharp together yesterday... enough for me to move Diggs up a notch or 2. Don't sell one of the qbs cheap now... wait till Brady is back and that guy or someone else is desperate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wist43 Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 You don't need 2 QB's, so see what he'll give ya for Brady. He's got a terrible team - can't imagine how he arrived at that roster on a per/round basis, lol... not thrilled by your team either, but at least you have some pieces to work with. Don't get caught up in QB's - the difference between the #5 QB, and the #14 QB isn't enough to get worked up about. QB's are cheap. You dug yourself a bit of hole by taking 2 QB's and 2 TE's. Those are roster spots that you could have used at the most valuable positions in FF, i.e. RB and WR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol and that dude has 3 qbs....i dont see you trading a QB for one of his best WRs when he has 3 of them. but i would try and shop Brady before Brees. QBs dont have super value until season starts and theyre doing well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QBs dont have super value until season starts and theyre doing well Look at the numbers - QB's are cheaper than cheap. In a 12 team league, the difference between the #6 QB last year (Brees), and the #12 QB (Philip Rivers) was 19.7 pts for the season. Divided by 13 equals about 1.6 pts/wk. Is that worth giving up valuable depth at the most critical positions of RB and WR?? The answer is obvious - of course not. I picked up Blake Bortles off the waiver wire last year, and he finished as the #4 fantasy QB. The year before it was Carson Palmer, and year before that, etc, etc... I've only had one live draft so far this year, and every time I was targetting a QB late in the draft, someone sniped him, and I decided to keep waiting. Most of the teams in that league had 2 QB's before I drafted my only QB, which turned out to be Jamies Winston. I wasn't thrilled with Winston, but I'm sure he'll be fine. He passed for over 4,000 yds last year, and 22 TD'. I certainly expect him to improve on the TD totals. I drafted him in the 13th round. I'd much rather have that kind of production from the 13th round, and a quality #2/#3 RB/WR in round 4/5, than to panic and jump on a QB early.

Sorry, misread your take... If he's nuts enough to carry 3 QB's, and has Garappalo, assuming you have an IR spot, I'm sure he'd be interested in taking Brady. See if you can snaggle Funchess from him... I think he's got a chance to breakout this year. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
