No PPR - 12 man league. I am currently Tied for 1st

I have Jamaal Charles, Giovanni Bernard, Ryan Matthews, Andre Brown

I have Jordon Reed as my back up tight end. But really think I need another RB and I could give up Graham to get a solid RB. Thoughts on who I could target?

My Whole Team:

Qb- Aaron Rodgers
WR- Vjax, Eddie Royal, Cecil Shorts, Doug Baldwin, Percy Harvin
RB- Jamaal Charles, Giovanni Bernard, Ryan Matthews, Andre Brown
TE- Jimmy Graham, Jordan Reed
K- Gostkowski
D- Chicago

Trade Reed - keep graham.

Graham & Gronk win fantasy teams championships.

I simply would not give up graham.

Try to sell Reed's upside for a buy low rb2 or something, but Graham is the type of player that wins fantasy championships.

I am a graham owner. He's untradeable.

I'd roll with what you have. Graham is so damn consistent.

If you trade Graham, then you should get any player of your choice.

Could I package Reed and someone else (just listed my whole roster) for a decent RB. Jamaal Charles is on bye next week. Trying to make a move.

I don't know that I would mess with a good thing. You're in first and I'm sure some of Graham's 25-30 point games have helped put you there.

With that being said. . .You can get as good a RB based upon how bad the opposing TE is. Obviously you're not getting McCoy from the Gronk or Witten owner. But from the Rudolph/Daniels type owner who have found themselves scrambling then I think you can get a top back. I think you can shoot higher than Morris and Forte in a non-PPR league. In my league (granted it's .5 PPR) Graham is the 2nd highest scoring W/R/T only behind Jamal Charles.

Agree with a lot of what was posted directly before me. Package Shorts/Reed for a mid to low end WR1. I wouldn't shoot lower than Garcon.

i have a philosophy where i always take gronk/graham in the 2nd round. these guys r the difference makers in close match ups. dont get rid of graham. he will win your league. never lost a league that i had Gronk/Graham in

this year i have Gronk and reed. if Reed has another elite game he will be good trade bait.

This.

I've won back to back titles with him at TE. He's virtually a top 5 WR at worst.

The only RBs i would give Graham up for is AP, Jamaal, McCoy, Lynch, and maybe Forte. Thats it.

In my opinion, Graham is one of the top 5 and arguably the most valuable player in fantasy, given the drop off to the next guys at the TE position. I don't think it's a stretch to say you could target any RB for him. You might not get anyone you want, but I would say that any RB you could think of for Graham is fair value.

That's pretty much what Shorts is with Blackmon gone now. That would be a loss of a trade for him.
