Those that have followed my Megatron for Brees and Welker.. I need advice on this.

My current team
QB- Brees and Cam

RB- Martin, Sproles, J Bell, S Jackson and Blue

WR- Jeffrey, White, Welker and J Matthews

TE- Jimmy and Julius Thomas

TE can be used in the flex. 6 point passing, no PPR, bonuses for over 300 yds passing

What would you do?

Why are you loading up on so many running backs? I wish I was in a league win you so I could trade shite for Megatron and Julius Thomas.

I would accept that. You already have Jimmy - and your current group of backs is mediocre at best.

Ivory is flex worthy, too.

I'm seriously thinking about it. I just love the idea of Jimmy and orange Julius on the same team.

I'd rather solidify your RBs and WRs.

You would be underselling Julius, no doubt. But Ball will turn it around. I feel more confident in Ball than Lacy.

If trades are easy to come by in your league, maybe you can hold off and find something better. But if trades are rare, you might just need to take this.

I don't like Forte as much in standard leagues. I'd probably rather ball and ivory.

Ball just hasn't done shite. And Hillman looks to have been taking some carries from him.

My final take: You can probably get better for Julius Thomas. You deserve better for him. It just depends on the make up of your league (likelihood of pulling off a better deal). You DO need some help at running back. Ivory has looked good and his role will continue to grow. Ball can't keep playing this bad.

Welker and white are always injured. I don't think you can count on Mathews to score 2 TDs every week.

Disclaimer: I drafted 3 WRs with my first 3 picks.

They're right - you'd be better off upgrading your receiving corp if you're going to dish Thomas.

What about Ellington and D Thomas for orange Julius?
