10-team H2H league, 9th pick. 1 QB, 3 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, 1 W/R, 1 K, 1 DEF
QB- Brady, Palmer
RB- Jacobs, Pierre Thomas, Kevin Smith, Beanie Wells, Donald Brown, Ray Rice
WR- Vincent Jackson, Eddie Royal, Berrian, Chris Henry, Josh Morgan
TE- Greg Olsen
K- Kaeding
DEF- Jets
I can obviously upgrade at receiver. I think I'd rather keep Brown and Rice on my bench, and trade Wells. Which WR could a package of Wells and Morgan net me? Enough for Marshall, Ocho Cinco, Houshmanzadeh, or Anthony Gonzalez? I'm considering trading Pierre Thomas for an elite WR like Calvin Johnson, but I think Thomas could be great, so I'm hesitant.
Should I drop Crabtree for Isaac Bruce or Kevin Boss? Bruce could be the better talent, but getting Boss will make it easier to trade if I trade for another better tight end.
12- team H2H league, 5th pick. 1 QB, 2 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, 1 W/T, 1 K, 1 DEF
QB- Ryan, Pennington
WR- Calvin Johnson, Boldin, Ochocinco, Crabtree
RB- Tomlinson, McFadden, Jonathan Stewart, Sproles, Donald Brown, James Davis
TE- Zach Miller
K- Prater
DEF- Seattle (week 1 vs. Rams, maybe drop for Cincinnati)
I know I don't have backup receiver relief. I dropped Miles Austin for James Davis. Most of the time I will have Calvin Johnson and Boldin starting, with Ochocinco at the W/T flex. But I'll have issues during their bye weeks (starting week 4).
I'm thinking of trading for another tight end. That way, I can start them if Miller only does ok, and also put them in at flex during my WR bye weeks.
Maybe packaging Stewart and Crabtree for say, Dallas Clark/Beanie Wells, Clark/Kevin Walter, Clark/Lance Moore, or LenDale White/John Carlson. Ray Rice/Torry Holt, Cooley/Santana Moss, Cooley/Santonio Holmes
But are those packages better for my team than Stewart and Kevin Boss?
I'm thinking of shopping Stewart for a less injury-prone, more reliable running back. I had thought Stewart got 10 td's while injured last year, and this year he'd get more touches and do better healthy, but his recent achilles news worries me. Or should I just hang onto him?
