Asked this before, but just wanted to see how I was standing as we get closer to the start of the season (sorry for the repetition)

10-team, standard scoring league

QB: Kaepernick
RB: Forte, Murray, Gio, Sankey, Pierce, J. Hill, Devonta Freeman, Stewart, D. Brown
WR: VJax, DJax, Torrey, Maclin, Hopkins
TE: Cameron
K: None yet
D/ST: None yet

Best free agents: Roethlishberger, Randle, B. Cooks, K. Benjamin, K. Stills, J. Matthews, J. Cotchery, Malcom Floyd, C. Clay, H. Miller, L. Green, Steelers (playing Browns in week 1), Eagles (v JAX) and Detroit (v NYG)

Players that might be available to trade: Foles, K. Allen, Cobb, Nelson, Roddy

Are there any changes that you would recommend? If you think I should trade for any of the above, please suggest what you think would be a good / fair trade.

You have a nice RB stable. I'll call it RB Hoarding - & see which one hits. of the available WRs mentioned, Allen, Jordy, and Cobb will be expensive. Roddy White is intriguing - Falcons just gave him an extension & he looks to be healthy, AND he is undervalued at the moment.

Allen, Jordy and Cobb all got drafted to pretty weak teams, so may be able to make a trade there. But yeah roddy would be a nice addition, particularly if he cost something like Torrey + one of those backup RBs

I'd try to package DJax and either Gio or Sankey for an upper tier, consistent WR (Jordy, Cobb, White) along with a backup RB with sneaky upside (Spiller, Gerhart, Vereen, etc...). Your goal should be to upgrade your WR2 from a boom/bust type of player to a steady player, while minimizing your loss at RB.

Is the Randle that is available Rueben?! If so add him!

Other than thatâ€¦I think Kaep will be fine as your QB. Definitely the ability to put up top 10 #'s. I would also grab Roethlisberger for your backup. Like someone else suggested, drop Stewart and D. Brown.

↳

Warren Rixon (389 Reputation Points)
Yeah its Rueben - completely forgot about Joseph Randle. As I asked Ian - is it better to pick up guys like Roethlisberger & Randle (that would make my team more well rounded) or to hold onto Stewart and Brown who I think could be more valuable in a 2-for-1 trade (everyone already has 2 QBs and plenty of WRs, but there are a few guys that are quite short at RB)

↳

With Ray Rice only suspended 2 games, do you think Brown or Stewart might be better to keep than Pierce (I think that he is further from a starting role than either of them, and 2 games is not long enough to really add much value / win the starting role)?

What are your league starting requiements? If you start 2 RBs and a flex, this is a good team as is. But if you can't start all 3 RBs (Forte, Demarco, Gio), then I think you need to make a trade ASAP for a top WR - like Sankey & Djax for a top 10 WR. Or even Gio & Torrey for top 3 WR. You're loaded at RB - I think u need to use that as an asset to acquire WR help. Maybe even QB help - I'm not sold on Kap as a starter in a 12 team league, nevermind a 10 team. But overall, you have a lot to work with. I good trade and you're golden.

that should read 1 good trade & you're golden.

Warren Rixon (389 Reputation Points)
yeah, 2 RBs and a flex. Not sold on Kaep either, but only grabbed a QB when everyone was grabbing their backups - 15th QB off the board. Trading up at QB would be fairly straightforward, could probably do Sankey for Foles (and then probably Foles for Cam / RG3 if I wanted). Or trading for a WR, I might be able to do Sankey + DJax for Alshon (maybe)? Not sure if Sankey + DJax could get me any better than that, and not sure if I'd want to give up that much for Jordy / Cobb / Antonio Brown

you could use some help at WR, but your RB depth is pretty damn good. you could always try to trade some of that depth for a WR such as Nelson.

Warren Rixon (389 Reputation Points)
Yeah. Nelson is a guy I'm looking to make a trade for. What do you think would be a reasonable offer to try land jordy? DJax + Devonta Freeman (guy has SJax)?

↳

Michael Rehal (593 Reputation Points)
well, i think djax will probably have a good season (and I'm an eagles fan). you don't know what sankey and freeman will be this year, so see what you can get based purely on hype.

↳

Warren Rixon (389 Reputation Points)
Yeah. My concern is that DJax and VJax are both really hit and miss players, so could lose weeks if they both miss out

↳

Michael Rehal (593 Reputation Points)
Yeah, they are both hit or miss for sure. I had VJax in a league last year and he is a rollercoaster...3 points one week, 35 the next. too inconsistent for me

↳

Warren Rixon (389 Reputation Points)
haha. exactly. oh well. hopefully i can find someone to trade for one of these guys though

WR depth is not a strength but your Rb depth is unreal 3 guys in my top 10 backs and a close one with sankey is great i would trade one of those guys for a WR but your wrs are managable and will produce good enough to keep you in games i would give you an A-, also pick up cooks and or matthews and drop brown and or stewart

I will have to drop 2 players later to grab a K and a D/ST anyway, so I am hoping to make 2-for-1 trades to improve my WRs. My thinking behind holding all those RBs is that the position is a lot more scarce, so the potential value of those guys in a trade is greater than that of the WRs - basically I think I am more likely to get someone to trade with a RB-WR package instead of WR-WR. Does that make sense? Or am I better off grabbing the guys I think are most likely to be fantasy relevant (Cooks / Matthews and maybe roethlisberger given my doubts about Kaep)?

↳

Ian Baker (451 Reputation Points)
Ya that makes sense and it may work, just have to remember trades are a sure thing and people always want more. So i love the depth at RB but if no one trades you, you are in a tough spot. Yeah I really like cooks, could be a top25 receiver with brees and no moore or sproles and a fading colston.

↳

Warren Rixon (389 Reputation Points)
Given that Ray Rice is only going to miss 2 games, would Pierce be a better option to drop? I think post suspension he will be further from a starting role than either Brown or Stewart

You don't have a true WR1 but that is made up for with your RB depth so there nothing I would change and on a scale if 1 to ten I would go 8.5

Yeah, was very happy to get Forte and Murray, and then liked Gio better than the remaining WRs
