10 team standard league

Qb - Cam
WR1 Welker
WR2 Amendola
WR3 Bowe
RB1 Leveon Bell
RB2 Gio Bernard
TE - Julius Thomas
Kicker - Succop
D- Indy

Bench
Rivers
Emmanuel Sanders
MJD
Deangelo Williams
Joique Bell
Doug Martin (Do I drop him?)

I'm 6-2 with a couple of cupcakes so I'm probably going to make the playoffs with this shitfest (Cobb, Martin - injuries + MJD and Bowe being a waste of space). What can I do to make this team be able to win a playoff game?

Do I trade Cam for a WR1? Cam + a RB for a RB1?

Attack the waiver wire for a WR and hope Cam + Welker + Julius Thomas carry me?

It's surprising that you're 6-2 in a 10 man league with that team. That roster looks more like it's from a 12 team league.

Not trying to sound like a dick, but Jesus are you lucky to be 6-2 with that team.

Definitely need to trade one of your QBs for a WR1 or RB1.

No shite, I'm 8th in points out of 10!

It was an auction league and I got caught bidding up Martin early (60 after AP went for 74)

$25 for MJD,
$15 for Bowe


Luckily I got Welker for $8, and Julius for $1

So the only strength of my team is QB, TE and depth at RB I'm trying to get creative since there's a really good chance I make the playoffs.

What do you think I can get for Cam?

I just offered Rivers for Roddy White (the guy is 0-8 so he may not even check this league anymore)

Is there anybody with upside I could trade one or two of my Rbs for? I'd much rather give up my RB depth for even 1 good RB.

If it makes you feel any better, I spent $18 on Bowe...what a letdown this season.

Trade either Cam or Rivers for any help you can get.

I just purchased Cam last night from a team that owned Cam and Rivers for Andre Ellington and Terrance Williams. Maybe you can land Demarco Murray if this is a 2 RB/3 WR league. You probably need a WR more than a RB.

I would start Sanders over Bowe. Maybe start MJD over Bell. Move one for a WR?

I'd kill for a 2/1 for Cam right now.

My best bet may be to see if any big name QBs get injured going forward and catch someone in a bind.

There's only a couple of guys thin at QB since it's only a 10 team league.

Sell low on either of your QB's to get in a new starter or two this week. Just find the one or two other teams with a shitty qb and explore options. Who has Brady? Is there an RGIII owner who is disappointed?

Unfortunately Brady's team is 0-8 so he hasn't responded to any of my trade offers. Hard to imagine people mailing it in with a $100 league but what can you do about it.


RGIII's team is 4-4

RGIII
Mike Wallace
Andre Johnson
Ginn
Ridley
Foster
Vernon Davis

Bench:
Boldin
Ivory
Cruz
McGahee
Olsen

I guess you could gamble on Ridley.

Are there any guys on free agency? There has to be someone better than Bowe.

Eddie Royal, Greg Jennings (same situation), Deandre Hopkins


What about Rivers for Andre Johnson?
