Your RBs are beyond shitty and you have Gronk...if Gronk plays this weekend, definitely yes. If not, then you won't have a TE (why isHeath Miller on your team)

MJD hasnt been up to par but with Julio going down I needed more consistent fire power at RB to compensate. I think he will still end up going off at some point and at worst is a legit RB2...which is starter quality on my team.

Gates on the other hand is having a great season so it pains me to part with him but age is a factor and he could start slowing down...there is no way I can see him sustaining his current pace.

I dont think this was a bad trade but just wanted some outside opinions

Heath was on my team to help sustain through the Gronk injury. Between losing Mike Wallace and the fact that he was a top 15 TE last season it was just good value for the waiver wire.

I also always planned on flipping Gronk, Gates, or Miller for a RB...we had a snake draft and in between 20 picks I missed out on all the RBs so I acquired depth elsewhere

There are backup TEs better than Heath Miller. He is averaging about 2ppg

Heath has only played 2 games this year...he missed the first 4 games. the first game back he played 30 snaps...the next game he played all of them and he had about 7 receptions...he is also one of their main red zone targets. trust me no one of value is left at the TE position in my league.

It's been mentioned but yea he's only played two games. I think he's a guy that has a floor of 5 points (standard scoring) with added value if he scores a TD.

Doesn't sound like much but there's only one Jimmy Graham.

nobody is trading in my league...at least not with me...they dont want to see me win it again and unless i trade them something like peyton manning and calvin johnson for reggie they will claim trade rape on my part.
