Thoughts on hoarding players?
I have both Witten and Gronk. I don't think I will use Witten. I have been offered Alfred Morris for him. I am not sure what to do. I normally flex a WR since it is a PPR league and I start either Sproles, Gore or Spiller as my RB (I also have Redman and Mendenhall). I really don't want to help out another team for a player I most likely wont use. So what do you guys think?

I am a Skins fan and I really hate having Skins players on my team. That maybe why I am sitting on the fence.

    I would take Morris. He is a leading rusher. You're helping yourself more then the other team.

    First of all, I don't understand why you wouldn't be using Morris if you received him. You could make a strong argument that, as long as Fred Jackson is around in BUF, Morris would be your most valuable RB in that scenario. Second, I don't understand why you hate having Skins on your team when you're a Skins fan. No matter what, I would try to move Witten for something valuable because (1) any team can always get better, (2) you will never use Witten, as you mentioned, (3) having 2 TEs on a team makes no sense unless TE can play flex and (4) you're wasting a roster spot on depth at the need positions. I don't see any reason not to do this.

    Yeah, I mentioned the possibility of trading Morris once you receive him, but I'd keep him and use him. Especially as teams are starting to figure out RG3. Sproles is out, and by the time he gets back, Jackson might also be back, denting Spiller's value some. I'm an Eagles fan and I HATE carrying Redskins, Cowboys, or Giants. You have an opportunity to get rid of a Cowboy, who you're trained to hate, and get a guy who you're already rooting for every week. Do it.

    Seems like a no brainer to me with Sproles hurt. If Sproles were healthy (meaning you could start Sproles/Gore/Spiller), I'd say maybe hold off. But to get a top 12 RB for a guy you aren't going to use.....you can't go wrong there.

    Especially since your RBs, while good, are question marks. Sproles is obviously hurt. Spiller is usually in a time share (although not now with Jackson out) and is an injury risk due to his size. Gore is old and has like 15 decent RBs behind him. He's also an injury risk.

    You could always flip Morris for a good WR, like Eric Decker, who would be perfect for you in a PPR. Or maybe turn him into like a Denarius Moore and a RB thats good in PPR like Marcel Reece or Joique Bell
