I'm facing a dilemma in week 9 that I hope to address in advance. Currently 5-1 in a 12 team 1PPR league. My WRs are Antonio Brown, Megatron, & Maclin. Both Megatron & Maclin have week 9 byes. I was thinking of proposing a trade with a guy having a similar WR issue. He has Julio, TY, & Martavious Bryant. Julio & TY have week 10 byes.

I was thinking of proposing a 1 for 1 trade --- either Megatron or Maclin for TY. That way I could roll with TY and Brown week 9. He would then have Megatron or Maclin with M. Bryant week 10. Given this scenario, any thoughts of who I should offer for TY? I was trying to not involve my other roster spots. For what it's worth I have:

Rivers
Tannehill
M. Ingram
Lamar Miller
Carlos Hyde
Olsen
Barnidge
Josh Brown
Rams

I'm open to a completely different approach to deal with this, so feel frere to blow this strategy away. ;)

Idk but don't trade Megatron for TY. Megatron is worth way more. I have him in one league and just traded for him in another league before last week. His schedule is getting easier and I'm expecting Megatron like numbers. He played 3 of the best defenses in the league for 3 straight weeks being Arizona, Seattle and Denver and put 10+ points on all of them.

Detroit offense has sucked, but I think that was part of their opponents and not going deep to Megatron. They finally realized last week they need to throw deep shots to Calvin and look at the numbers he put up. Before last week they had only thrown 20+ yard balls to Calvin like 3 times or something like that all year.

People stress too much about bye weeks. I don't even look at that shite when I draft. Some people literally draft around bye weeks. If you have a good team and a good record, I wouldn't worry about this. Plug in whoever you got and hope for the best. If you have a bad record and need the win, you should probably trade. What's your record?

I agree that trading Megatron for TY is not getting nearly enough value for him. Mega is going to be trending up with an easier schedule. Maclin is injured and possibly trending down with a weaker offense. I guess if you can hilton for him then go for it, but I wouldn't make that trade if I was the hilton owner.

Absolutely don't trade Megatron for Hilton. I would consider doing it for Maclin.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. I guess I'll throw out the Maclin for TY trade offer and see if he bites. He's currently in 2nd place and may not want to go with a lower level WR for on what may be a pivotal weekend for him.

My other option may be to drop Barnidge and pick up someone like Diggs (Vikings). Barnidge has been money for me the past few weeks, so I wouldn't be thrilled with that move.

Don't drop Barnidge. Offer him Maclin and a bench player for TY. If he takes it you will not only have helped your minor bye week issue, you will have picked up the better player overall

Thanks. Although my only other "bench" players are technically Hyde and Tannehill. :-)
