Standard scoring.

QB- Palmer
RB- Ivory, L. Murray, CJ2K , Lacy
WR- A. Robinson, Evans, Cooks, Moncrief, J. Brown
TE- Gronk, Olsen

Currently 6-3, I've won a lot of close match ups to be where I am. I'm tired of inconsistent play at WR and thinking of flipping Gronk for an elite WR. I've been flexing Olsen btw.

What says the FSB?

If you can play both Gronk and Olsen, why would you trade Gronk? Olsen is scoring the equivalent to an elite WR if youre flexing him.

More like a low end no.2 but if he doesnt have a better option, he's not a bad flex.

I'd sit tight.

Bassed on your roster, Gronk for a RB1 would be good for your team.

I agree. Your WRs are better than your RBs. I would def sit tight

Try packaging Olsen and one of your WR's for a RB1. May not work, but doesn't hurt to try.

He already has 2 RB1s?

Chris Ivory is the #6 RB in PPR

and L Murray is #12.

In a 12 team league they are both RB1s.

No?

Trade him, but only for players whose last names begin with Gurl, Jone, Brow, Beckha, or Hopkin.

Murray is #14.

Ok so Ivory is 6, but if you were drafting right now would Ivory honestly be a top 12 back on your board?

2 of the people above Murray are out for the year and another is an unknown to return (Forte)


And obviously Ivory would be a top 12 back right now... Name 12 RBs you would rather have then those 2 on your team right now (who aren't injured obviously.)

Forte practiced today (limited). Sounds like he might sit one more week.

Generally I think OP's team is fine but for a top RB1 (Gurley, AP, Freeman) I would give up Gronk. Problem is I think Ivory's hammy injury is lingering a bit more than they are letting on.
