I've been trying to shore up my WR corp in my 10 man league. Currently I'm starting Decker and Nicks with TJ Hilton and Deandre Hopkins backing them up on the bench.

I'm starting Jimmy Graham at TE but picked up Julius Thomas after week 1 and he's basically my best and only trading chip with the paucity of productive TEs thus far this season. So I was checking on teams in my league for people with shite TEs but good receivers and threw out a couple offers.

I offered one team Julius Thomas for Randall Cobb straight up and they almost took the bait, but his partner vetoed it and countered with Boldin. I'm think Boldin has some upside but I'm not sure if he's any upgrade from Nicks and Decker. Would anyone pull the trigger on that trade?

No. Stay with Nicks/Decker.

I think you can get a better WR for J Thomas

You are only going to ever start JT in week 7. I'd get what value I could for him.

Anquan isn't a horrible deal, but I think you could do better for a guy who has 4 TDs in 3 games and gettin dem targets every week.

JT in my standard scoring league: 42+ points 23,10+, 9+

Anquan: 32+ , 28 of which in one game

JT has been more consistent. I'd say shoot a little higher

Any ideas? I was thinking about putting out offers for Andre Johnson, Antonio Brown, Danny Amendola, Dez Bryant, and Jordy Nelson too and see if I get any takers.

I guess I'm just trying to get a sense of Julius Thomas' trade value. I picked him off the waiver wires and I'm starting Graham so I feel pretty good about letting him go, but I need a player who is an upgrade from Decker and Nicks. I'm pretty sour on Nicks after that 0 point performance last week.

And I'm guessing you can't play TE in the flex spot?

I would send an offer for any of them, but I'd be weary of Amendola. I just don't trust him to stay healthy. I'd send an offer for Nelson and Bryant and if no bites, send an offer for Brown and Johnson.

Taking a risk, but with Heath Miller back and Bell starting, Rapelessberger should be able to get him the ball with less targets but more efficiency.

quote:

Andre Johnson


Don't think anyone would do that as he is likely their #1 WR or at least one of "their guys" that they won't let go. Worth a shot though.

quote:

Danny Amendola


Also risky unless you have Edelman to play when he's hurt, but the value is there if you have both guys (I have JT and traded Witten for Amendola)

quote:

Dez Bryant


Not even close. Anyone would be crazy to trade Dez for JT straight up

quote:

Jordy Nelson


If the person with Jordy is deep at WR, this would be the best bet IMO
