I would get Mike Evans and Andrew Luck and would give up Derrick Henry and Robert Woods. I like Robert Woods upside this season and i don't really know about Derrick Henry but he is one of my starters and I don't have a great backup option. I also have Cousins as my starting QB and i think he has more potential than Luck this year. Every site I check says i'd be coming out on top but i'm not really sure with no good alternative at starting RB.

To add, PPR league.

I think you're good where you're at personally.

I think that would leave you way too thin at RB. You'd need another RB a lot more than Luck.

Yes, you do it. Plug Barber in there for now, and you have the ammo to go get another RB down the line if need be. Evans Diggs Hogan Hill, you wont need them all. Let Hogan have a good game and sell before Edelman comes back

I'd look at dropping one of you eight WRs, or making a trade using them for a RB, before acquiring another one.

What do you need 8 WRs for?

Post his roster as well. Maybe you can counter with something that addresses your needs better.

It's just kind of how my drafting went. I tend to find the best players with the most possible upside for PPR and I just didn't like the RB options that were available after a couple of rounds. Plus, i just find the league is not RB driven anymore. Outside of you 5-10 studs at RB, you are left with RB by committee. I like my chances more for a few receptions and possible touchdown with WR in a PPR league.

I get that, but 5 of those WRs are going to be useless every single week.

Looks like he rescinded the offer within the hour he sent. He didn't like the trade, was doing it just to put feelers out, or he saw this thread.

What is his RB situation? You could possibly offer 2 of your WRs and Henry for a higher caliber RB on his roster and Andrew Luck.

I think drafting 8 WR’s and 4 RB’s made that decision for you.

Sanu, Doctson and Trequan Smith are useless on your roster in my opinion. Is there not anyone worth picking up as a free agent you could exchange?

Take a stab at Aaron Jones or AP or some back with similar upside? I get that it’s PPR, but 50 yards, TD and maybe a catch or two is more upside than 5 targets a game. Sanu may be the best out of those 3 if Calvin Ridley doesn’t pass him up.

You do realize some of these picks are very late round boom or bust type of guys, right? I highly doubt my bench looks like this after week 1. I will hold on to them for a week or 2 to see production and then move on if I see nothing.

Sanu saw a good bit of targets from Matt Ryan last year and could be a good fill in player during bye weeks.
Doctson has the chance to be have a good year as a #1 or #2 WR if Alex Smith can do well in that offense.
Smith is simply a pretty decent rookie in a pretty good offensive system. If he competes and gets targets, good for me. If not, he gets dropped. I did the same for Kamara his rookie year and look where that went.
