This is a 14 team league. I wasn't able to view all the settings before the draft because my internet was out and the app wouldn't show them to me. Come to find out, after I did my standard move with QBs and draft middle rounds. There is .5 pts per completion, .5 negative pts per incompletion, a 5 point bonus for 300-399 yds passing, and another 5 at 400. Also 5 pt bonus at 100 yds rushing, and 100 yds receiving. Then it is .5 ppr, and .5 per rushing attempt.

My Team:

Qb: Cutler, Ej Manuel
RB: Bernard, Joique, Vereen, Pierre.
WR: Jordy, Keenan, Terrance Williams, Cecil Shorts, Torrey Smith
Te: Jimmy Graham, Ladarius Green
K: Freese
Def: Ravens(meh)


I like Bernard in a PPR, but Hill and Lawfirm will cut into his carries. The guy who has Brees also has Gerhart. Who I think will get a crapton of carries this year. Brees is the closest thing to a sure thing for 300 yds per game. Should I try and piece together a trade to get Brees/Gerhart, and will I have to give up Graham to do it. Or should I package one of my WRs(he only has 3, really), Cutler, and say Vereen or Bell to try and get them. Or only go for Brees. Green I think is a solid TE, and Graham is a valuable bargaining chip...

His team
QB: Brees
RB: Ellington, Gerhart, Shonn Greene, FJax, Spiller, Dunbar
WR: Tavon(now worthless), Dez, Antonio Brown, Reuben Randle
TE: Dwayne Allen, Jordan Reed.

What TEs are on the waiver wire? Ertz? Heath miller?

Green is not ready to be your starting TE week 1.

Slim pickings at best. Timothy wright, toilolo, or Zach miller are probably the best choices.

I probably wouldn't accept it - even given your league's QB bonus settings Cutler is no slouch.

Anymore thoughts from the night crew?

Make him throw in Allen or Reed for another player.

He can't play 3 TE's.

If you can swing that, I like the trade.
