Real money blind bids so I can go get anyone I want. (no waiver) Also have roster restrictions where you have to carry a certain amount of each position.

10 team PPR league
M Stafford, Cutler
J Charles, L McCoy, R Mathews, E Lacy
Fitz, A Brown, M Wallace, E Decker
O Daniels, B Myers
Bears, Bengals

Im not doing anything at RB but am looking at maybe replacing Cutler with Pryor/Bradford? and Edelman in place of Wallace or Decker?
Also, Cook and J Thomas are both out there at TE. Either of those guys worth a long term look over my current TEs?

Get J Thomas if you can. He might have a breakout year since Peyton Manning said he will have "a big role" in the offense. The Broncos running game is suspect, and we all know what Manning can do with a TE that has a nose for getting open on one on one coverage like he did with Dallas Clark in Indy.

Edleman was starting over Welker last year and the guy played on like 90% of NE's offensive plays. 75+ and 2 TDs won't happen every week, but it looks like this is the guy filling the slot role since Welker is gone.

I have Cook and Sudfeld, but I put a claim on Edelman for Sudfeld. I'm wondering if I should drop Cook for Julius Thomas? Or drop Vincent Brown/Mark Ingram?

Thomas look great but with all the weapons Manning has don't you think Cook will get more targets from Bradford? And which of my Tight Ends would you cut bait on?

With Fitz and Wallace at WR 1&2 I think I am going to take the gamble on Edelman just incase he ends up putting up Welker like #s.. Who would you drop out of M Wallace and Decker? I really don't think either of them have much upside right now..

I ended up putting a claim on Thomas for Ingram. If he or Cook keep doing well I could use one for trade bait. Good strategy?

Absolutel! It's always a benefit to be deep at a position at the midway point to be able to deal for a top WR or RB. Last year I had RG3 on my bench behind Payton...After Mannings bye week I dealt him for McCoy

Why not have both Cook and JT? I have Witten and I picked up Julius Thomas for free before the season. Since my team kinda sucks, I'm seriously considering flexing JT since no one has shown trade interest in him or Witten.

Jared Cook is Billy Butler of the past.

People are always saying this is his year. But for real, this could be his year. It all depends on Bradford's development and number of targets. If he can see 7+ targets a week, then I like his chances.

Chad Henne starting this week
Jags might actually put up some points

It is real money bidding. Is what I have to pay to get both of them going to be worth it? Most breakout players go between $12 and $25. I already have two descent TEs with Daniels and Myers so I am only looking to pick up one of the two..and which one of my current is more droppable?

Cook is with a new team under a premium TE contract. The Rams intend to use him. He looks to be their best receiver as well. He streaks down the field like a wide out.

If Henne is playing, which he is, that offense became a lot better. I'm picking up Winslow and dropping Fred Davis. Also picking up Edelman
