Need some trade advice:

I ended up with Bridgewater and Rivers as my QB's in a 10 team 0 ppr standard scoring league. (1QB,2RB,3WR,1TE,1FLEX)

Do I have to make a trade? Or should I try to ride those 2 out and try to pick up a breakout QB?

My team:

QB- Bridgewater, Rivers
RB- L. Bell, Anderson, Randle, Abdullah, J. Bell, Woodhead, Gray
WR- Cobb, Tate, Edelman, Lafell, J. Brown, Boldin, (also picked up Jordy in the 15th to stash on IR and keep next year)
TE- Daniels, Eifert

I might be able to get Tannehill, but would probably have to give up Abdullah, which I think is a bad deal for me.

Any advice please? :)

Stand pat IMO. Rivers and Bridgewater actually have a really nice meshing for streaming QBs. Each have what should be an easy matchup on the other's byes, and decent matchups when one or the other is playing a stout defense.

I'm not the only one this is happening to, right? If this is their solution over actually providing stricter password requirements they have a whole chain of people who deserve to be fired into the sun.

Thank God, I thought it was just me. That was getting old fast.

I actually have a Disney account that uses my email as the username, while my ESPN account uses my Silly Burrito name (but is registered under the same email). I emailed ESPN and they basically said they couldn't combine accounts. So, I used the Gmail trick (username+anytexthere@gmail.com still goes to username@gmail.com) to change my Silly Burrito account's email so that they technically are two different emails.

Haven't had the same login problem yet, but I only started this yesterday. It's worth a shot if you have multiple ESPN/Disney/ABC accounts somehow.

Thanks for the replies. I feel better already. Rivers did look really good last year before he got hurt. I think he was a top 5 fantasy QB in the first half of the year. Plus I like Bridgewater's upside, especially with AP back to take some pressure off.

That chart is a nearly 3 months old and has a lot of questionable assertions. AZ And Detroit are average defenses? SF and NYG are worse matchups for a QB than those two?

That being said, Minny finishes with the Bears in Week 15 and NYG in Week 16, two defenses that appear like they might be terrible. If you need a tiebreaker for taking someone like AP or Bridgewater vs. another similar player, that might be it.

You better hope Megatron goes back to being Megatron and nobody on your roster gets hurt. That is giving up a lot of depth and putting all your eggs in one very old basket. :v:

If you remove the running backs in the middle (Lacy/Randle) it is much less crazy. You're swapping 2nd + ~8th rounders and it actually looks pretty even value-wise. But if that trade is even, then the rest of the trade comes down to Eddie Lacy for Joseph Randle, which is insane.

What rounds would you have to give up to keep them?

Edit: FWIW, unless you can keep Luck as like a 6th round keeper, I'd still go with Thomas. He's a top-10 player overall in PPR. I'm also assuming that by the way you worded your post that you don't have an early pick in the first round, so you can't reasonably expect to throw Thomas back and pick him back up in the 1st.

Bitching at you because it was a bad trade? I think you can argue that one both ways - I'd rather have Gore/Spiller/Tate but its not out of the question for Calvin to be a top 3 WR and coleman and top 15 RB (unlikely but theoretically possible).

If you traded up for a top 3 pick in a 12 person league, and you already had Mark Ingram and Jeremy Hill as keepers, would you go with a WR instead of an elite RB? Here's who looks to be available in round 2 after keepers:

WR: Alshon Jeffery (maybe, he's right on the bubble), Brandin Cooks, Jordan Matthews, Emmanuel Sanders
RB: Frank Gore, Lamar Miller, Alfred Morris

I really want to draft a stud RB and have a murderer's row, but I keep looking at the rankings and I just see way more value for RBs in round 2. My next pick is pick 33, and I don't have a 4th or 5th round pick. I should probably go WR, right? :(

Actually the LM doesn't do the give up a round keeper pick, even though now that I think of it makes things way more fair.

So basically Rodgers/AP/Brees/Demarco Murry etc. Are all already taken before the draft starts.

But yeah I pick at #10

In 1 PPR Thomas has more value that Luck. I'd go with the receiver.

I'd rather have a Charles/Bell/Lacy than a Ingram + Elite WR. I'm not a huge fan of a guy who probably will see no third down work this game as being my RB2.

Last year I traded away Torrey Smith for Eddie Lacy around week 6 or 7. Lacy had a slow start, and the guy was desperate for WR (we play a 3 WR plus 1 WR/TE flex), and he was in last place with a decent backup RB, so not as awful as it appears at first glance.

Still won me the league though.

There's no way to look at this as anything other than awful at every glance. Lacy was still a top 10 pick last year, he couldn't have gotten better than Torrey Smith?
