PPR, 12 team league

My WRs: Julio Jones, Cecil Shorts, Mike Wallace, TY Hilton, and Vincent Brown.

My RBs: Arian Foster, DeMarco Murray, Daryl Richardson, Ben Tate, Lamar Miller, Ronnie Hillman


Alright..as you can see, Cecil Shorts is currently my #2 WR. I'm not very confident in him, so I'm looking to upgrade at that position.

Some offers I'm writing up (before I send out) are:

1. Cecil Shorts/ Ty Hilton and one of Richardson/Miller/Hillman for Jordy Nelson

2. Cecil Shorts/Ty Hilton and one of Richardson/Miller/Hillman for Reggie Wayne

3. TY Hilton and one of Richardson/Miller/Hillman for Mike Williams

4. Cecil Shorts/TY Hilton and one of Richardson/Miller/Hillman for Vincent Jackson


Am I asking for too much? If so..then if you don't mind, what are some WR's I should be aiming at with the group of players I'm offering up.

I would hold tight if I were you. Wait a couple of weeks and see what happens.

If you could pair Hillman with one of your WRs to get a slight upgrade then that's fine. Otherwise I wouldn't do anything.

Shorts, Wallace and Hilton are not a bad 2-4 group

And all your backs have pretty significant question marks right now. So you need to keep a stable of them

On Cecil Shorts? Gabbert scares me. I know I can wait til week 3 or 4 and sell real high on Shorts..but I'm a little impatient.

Honestly, with Wallace, Hilton and Shorts you could be holding onto a top 15 WR. Just hang tight and see what happens.

Shorts will be a good play through the 4th week. Stand pat.

I'll see what I can do in that regard.

Thanks

Dude... STAY PUT

You have plenty of guys who are more than capable of being a very solid number 2.

Any of those trades is very poor for you and YOU are giving up potentially too much.

Just go to the Ball owner.

Throw him Wallace (a pretty big name) and Hillman and see if you can't get a DBowe or Colston

I guess I'm just trying to fix my weakest unit by breaking down one of my better ones. Over managing has always been my problem.

If you could somehow swing Shorts/Hillman for VJax, I'd do that in a second.

I think that couldn't work out more perfectly for you then.

It's now on you to sell him on Hillman getting the majority of the reps with the first team this preseason and that he would have the Denver backfield locked up.

Julio, Bowe, TY, Shorts;

Foster (with Tate), Murray, Miller, Richardson - I'd be fine with that heading into the year.

Dwayne Bowe is his #1, and Torrey Smith is his #2.

This is also the same guy I've played against in the last two championship games. It's going to be really hard to convince him to even trade with me..let alone get him to listen to my reasoning.

Yea, and if I could trade Deji Karim for Calvin Johnson I'd do it too.

Do you think that's a fair trade on both sides? I'm in the business of winning, but not screwing teams over.

No, but it sure as hell makes you better.
