Obviously WR is my weak spot - RB is meh.

Do I look at trading Rice or Slaton? (but if I do, my other 3 RB are primarily backups)

I could try to ditch Brady or Roethlisberger for something?


Looking for ideas!

 

[gelo24]

Your running game looks very weak. I also would never carry 3 QBs on a team if you can only play 1. It also hurts that all of your receivers and mostly possession guys who have less value because it isn't PPR. I definitely would hang on to Brady and would also look to trade Big Ben or drop Stafford for someone who has potential to break out. I may also try to trade Coffee to Gore's owner for a good WR because when Gore comes back you will never play him and I just don't see him as being much better than Ray Rice. Let me know if you have any luck or have any deals offered to you and I will give you my two cents.

 

[HITown]

why do you have 3Qbs, get rid of one (stafford). Or you could trade ben. Or you could shop around brady to see what you can get but you probably took him in the 1st or 2nd so try and get a top 12 rb or wr

 

[FairWarning]

Choice could be a very nice player for you. I would be very concerned about the health of Welker.

 

[EstebanOchocinco]

get rid of gonzalez and stafford

 

[theDude24]

thanks for advice guys -

the reason I picked up Stafford was actually so I could shop Big Ben (Stafford plays STL during Brady's bye week).


I wanted to hold onto GOnzalez in case he came back in like week 8 and could help for a playoff run (from the looks i may not get there)

Also - since it is 14 teams - the waiver wire is really weak in certain spots - so didnt see anyone with value enough to drop him for

 

[eaglezzz]

You need some WR help if Sims-Walker, Burleson, Garcon or any guys like that are on the waiver wire pick them up. No need to have 3 QB's on your roster. Brady is your start every week no matter what. Your RB's are solid and all have a great up side. Coffee will be huge this week and could be the difference and help you get your first win.

Good Luck!

just saw that it is a 14 team league so those WR are gone. Your best bet is to trade a RB or QB for some help at WR

 

[SwiftyJ]

yea 14 team leagues are hard to get depth in your team, try to make some trades

 

[lax_gunman]

-Don't Panic. I think you have a solid team. But I don't think you have much too trade. The fact that you have coffee and mccoy says that their owners are not too bright so you won't be able to trade for their value now. Slaton and welker are not valued but will improve for u. Def drop stafford. I say give it a week or two and you will def have trade value and more options,
