I got roped into playing fantasy football with some friends and I could use some trade advice since I don't know a ton about football, fantasy or otherwise:

Send:
Antonio Gates
Mark Ingram
Allen Hurns

Receive:
Drew Brees
Vincent Jackson
Duke Johnson

My Team:

QB: Aaron Rodgers, Tyrod Taylor
RB: Devonta Freeman, Frank Gore, Joseph Randle, Mark Ingram
WR: Allen Hurns, Marvin Jones, Travis Benjamin, Demarius Thomas
TE: Antonio Gates, Martellus Bennett

It doesn't seem like a great deal, but I'm not sure Taylor will be playing this week, so I'd like to have another QB and most of the even decent ones have been picked up already.

That trade looks like someone trying to scam a new guy tbh. Gates is producing like a TE1 after only 2 weeks and the Chargers will only keep throwing, Mark Ingram is way more important than Duke Johnson and Allen Hurns could do better than Vincent Jackson ROS. Brees doesn't look the same and you don't need him anyways tbh. If you need a QB just stream or get a better trade.

Well, in Whoville they say - that his tiny hands grew three sizes that day.

Who's a better waiver wire QB pickup for this week, Stafford or Fitzpatrick? Also is it time to consider dropping Peyton? I picked up Cutler at the last minute last week and started him (won me the week) so i'd either have to drop Manning or Cutler for a QB this week as both are on byes.

Stafford. He checks all of the boxes:

-A bad team that will need to score points to catch up
-A dogshit running game
-An elite #1 WR, good #2 WR, and good complementary pieces (Ebron, Wright, and Riddick)
-A willingness to chuck the ball

Fitzmagic checks a lot of those boxes too, mind you, but Ivory >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Joique Bell, and the Jets defense is really good.

I generally agree with this, but it's worth noting that Fitzpatrick is absolutely dead set un giving Marshall no less than 12 looks per week. I keep waiting for the wheels to fall off of that but it doesn't seem like it will. Marshall's a possession WR so he seems to age well. Assuming this is a bye week fill, I would probably say Stafford because of what Franks said, but it might depend on match up.

Last week in two leagues I had Witten on bye, and I dropped him for Clay. Clay played well, and has been most of the season actually, as well as TEs who aren't Gronk can play. I have an opportunity to get him back if I want. It's FAAB but I can zero bid. Who would I want here? I feel like Witten gives me a better floor, but Clay might get 8+ looks a game as the main outlet valve for checkdowns.

also what's the thought about the FAAB valu e of Diggs? Is he worth dropping any of Andre Johson, Rishard Matthews, Crowder,, Baldwin, Mike Wallace, Ertz (these are potential players to cut across multiple teams, but I own some of those dudes in several leagues). I would think the only definite there is Wallace, right?

Hope it would never come to this, but drop CJA, Bradshaw or Matt Jones for a defense this week? Gonna hang onto Denver during their bye week. .5 PPR

Keep Clay. Andre Johnson, Doug Baldwin, and Crowder if DJax is coming back healthy soon are the guys I'd drop for Diggs, probably in that order. Ertz definitely too, but depends on having at least one other top 15 TE option in that league on the wire. I would not drop Matthews or Wallace most likely, certainly not if those other guys are on the team too.

Is Stefon Diggs for real? I am hurting at WR and am trying to decide how much FAAB Diggs is worth. I have Jordan Matthews, Kendall Wright, and Marvin Jones. I need someone who can at least put up ~10 points a game with upside. Is Charles Johnson coming back a huge question mark for Diggs? Is it worth paying for him anyway?

Because I basically have to leave one of Foster/Miller/Freeman/Peterson on the bench and I'd rather find a way to put more points in my starting lineup

This is the correct way to approach this. Bench players do not score points for you. Having one legit good bench guy for a position is fine. You have five rbs, the worst of which is at least a flex player. You could totally get fleeced for any one of those guys and still be ok. You probably have had as much as 30 points on the bench from your RBs some weeks while watching Megatron, Maclin, and Hilton all put up stinkers. Julio is a stud, but after that I don't think it's as good as advertised, and you have multiple ways to put forth a competitve offer for another legit WR1. Basically everyone you have after Jones are middle of the road WR2s. That's ok but you can do better.

I'd look to move Miller then Gio first, since I don't see them having a prayer of outscoring your other backs over the rest of the season. Freeman should be your trump card if you really wanna swing for the fences for Hopkins or some top 3 player, but I would only move him if the value reflected that he's the highest scoring RB right now. As good as he's been, I think AP is a more sure bet, and Foster, barring health, is probably better too because he doesn't have a threat. Freeman will always bee a bad game or two from more of a timeshare since Coleman was good to start the season. I'd try to move those other two first, maybe one of them + a WR2 for a WR1 and a bench player back.

Thanks for the input. I figured Crowder's value is tied to Djax so I was looking there, and I honestly don't trust Andre Johnson all that much but he's tied to a good qb so I think he holds more value than those other two. I have Witten on that team with Ertz. That was my bye fill there, so that's a drop in one league for sure.

Definitely not mash. I'm kinda conflicted on it, definitely depends on your team make up. I'd probably lean towards no, but I'm not really looking to buy Crabtree or Duke, and not looking to sell low on Cobb right now. Try to drop one of Cobb or Cooper and one of Crabtree or Duke from the deal?
