Team Thoughts

I had a good draft, and then was able to trade Le'Veon Bell and Ben Roethlisberger for Matt Forte and Alex Smith. I'm wondering what if any trades I should be looking to make to improve areas of my team, or if I should sit back and see how the first few games play out. Also, because of the size of our leagues and the fact that we have 7 bench players, there is not much left on the waiver, so most team improvements have to be through trades.

I play in a 10-team PPR league starting 2 QBs, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, 1 WR/RB/TE, 1 TE, 1 K, and 1 Defense:
Drew Brees (NO, QB)
Alex Smith (KC, QB)
Matt Forte (CHI, RB)
Andre Ellington (ARI, RB)
Pierre Thomas (NO, RB)
A.J. Green (CIN, WR)
Antonio Brown (PIT, WR)
Julian Edelman (NE, WR)
Roddy White (ATL, WR)
Percy Harvin (SEA, WR)
Reggie Wayne (IND, WR)
Greg Jennings (MIN, WR)
Martellus Bennett (CHI, TE)
Jordan Reed (WAS, TE)
Heath Miller (PIT, TE)
Matt Bryant (ATL, K)
Philadelphia Defense (I'm streaming defenses)

That dude must be from Pittsburgh. I don't know how in the world you got Smith and Forte for Bell and Big Ben. That's great work. You have an excess of WR talent, and WR's are much easier to replace than RB, Find a team a little weak at WR and see if there is a backup RB that interests you.

I play in a league of real-life friends, so I get to see them in person on a regular basis...and I'm real good at upselling my players :-)

Good advice, though. I'll take a look.

Try to get the best back you can, but even if you can only get a sleeper, I think it would be worth it. Jeremy Hill, Terrance West, somebody like that

Shoot yeah you definitely have WR depth. If I were you I would try to see if someone is willing to trade away either Percy harvin white or even Reggie Wayne. In my eyes those two are good WR but with green brown Edelman you are solid with WR and even your flex option. My option is to combo two of your WR for one very solid RB 2 with huge upside like lacy or ball
