I desperately need some better WR's. Who should I trade to get them and who should I be trying to get with the players that I have. Please Help.

Answer 1

Use McFadden and White as trade bait to get a guy like Reggie Wayne or Braylon Edwards. Use Graham and Walker to try and trade for a guy like Matt Hasselbeck.

QB-2

WR-3

RB-9

TE-8

K-8

DEF-8

Try and get a decent QB and one or two good WR's

otherwise your fine.

Answer 2

Peterson and Mojo Drew are your best players, the rest of your team isn't that impressive compared to the players that you're going to be going up against every week, try to make some trades and pray that some of the other guys have career years.try trading McFadden, he's unproven and you don't know what your going to get out of him on a bad team, but somebody will be willing to take a chance on him and possibly give you a solid WR

Answer 3

You are not exactly in bad shape entirely.  I am not sure why you stocked so high on quality RBs resting on your bench, but it can work to your advantage in trades.  Whatever you do, don't sound or look desperate to your league.  You have the power against teams suffering in RB depth.  

Let's look at what you have on bench.  You have a good RB2 with Lendale White.  You can get a good WR on just him alone.  A player like Marvin Harrison, Housh, or Buress is not out of the question and possibly obtainable for someone who is lacking decent RBs.

You have some great sleeper picks with McFadden and Michael Turner.  Both will be players that will at least be sold RB2s with a potential to be solid RB1s.  Let people watch those two in the preseason as well as pay attention to them as well.  Create the need in your league to have them.  Be patient and the rewards will come your way.  Personally, I see that you will probably keep either Michael Turner or McFadden instead of MJD because they may give more upside because MJD is in a RBBC and is still not the starter.

Sometime during the preseason, post on your league website that you are looking to pick up some quality WRs for one of the RBs you list.  Let them make the offer to see what has their interest in your team.  Feel how desperate the other team might be.  This will give you the power to counter trade.  Counter trading can work to your advantage.  Make them sweat it out and have them sit on it a while creating that need harder.  They may even get so desperate themselves for their need that they will trade to you a solid WR or WRs.

Whatever you do, do not package any 2 RBs on your bench.  Your RBs are too strong to be packaged.  You could even get a quality QB for one of your RBs.

Play your cards right bro and you will have a solid team on trades.  Take my advice bro, I have been playing FFB for several years and have always finished in the top 3 spots of a 14 team PPR/IDP league.  I am very confident in what I say and have succeeded in major trades to help me on the advice I am sharing with you.  Dangle those players out there and see who will take the bait.  Remember, do not sound or appear desperate to your league.  The way you posted this question was just the ammo I would need to take advantage of you if I was playing in your league.  They will use that to their advantage.  Enjoy the power you have in trading and good luck on your trades.  I know I can make some sweet deals with your bench.

Thumbs up to those who agree.

Answer 4

Brett Favre, GB QB needs traded or put in FA pool because of ratings cap so forget about him.Darren McFadden, Oak RB I would keep because you need some young blood on the Big O then try to pick up a swarm D like Quick handed LB, SS, FS, & CB if needed anybody can run PT / KR so not that much of a issue. Look for great new talent in the draft to free up areas you can get in the red zone but can you stay there long enough to win. Stick with a Swarm D and Big O and think you'll do great.

Answer 5

You have really good running backs...adrian peterson and ryan grant and darren mcfadden are gonna have good years....wide recievers could be better and your quarterbacks suck...tight ends are amazing overall average team...

I'd wait a couple of weeks and see if any body on the f.a list are having unexpectedly good years and pick them up and drop some other players..

Answer 6

Overall Grade: B-,

Your team is weird, but doesn't "suck."

Strengths: You have a huge pool of running backs.  Your TEs are solid, solid defense, solid kicker.

Weaknesses: As of today you don't have a starting QB.  Warner hasn't secured an extension, and Leinart is reportedly the starter.  The Favre case is well documented.

Your WRs are weak, but that's something that can often be fixed through the waiver wire.

Suggestions:

You might consider waiting to make any dramatic moves until the Favre situation is resolved, and you see how Javon Walker's knee is, and how McFadden runs.

If McFadden blows up right away, you could trade him straight up for a very solid wideout.

You could bundle Turner and McFadden for a Houshmanzadeh caliber wideout, possibly better.

You have enough pieces that you should be able to upgrade both QB and WR.  See who needs backs.  There must be a few teams, as you gobbled them all up.

A strange, but interesting team...

Answer 7

basically since you're so stacked at rb another teams guaranteed to lacking in that area. so, keep peterson, jones-drew, grant, and maybe turner. use the rest to hold other teams ransom.

i'd keep farve as ur backup b/c he could potentially have a great year if he goes to the right team. and, then i would couple warner with one of your rbs to get a quality qb.

then use the rest to pick up wrs, judging by your postition sombody's stacked at that position and willing to trade.

last and finaly i'd get a back up defense off free agency if possible for those weeks when the steelers play high caliber opponents who can score a lot of points, like pats, colts, or even bengals if they play up to their potential.

Answer 8

You need a QB too!

I would say make some offers with Maurice Jones-Drew, Tony Scheffler, Darren Mc Fadden, ETC....

Someone will hop on Darren Mc Fadden, some crazy Raiders fan that thinks he is the messiah or something.....

Also, Drop Brett Favre and Javon Walker, unless you see Brett Favre sign with a new team, but Walker is a waste, maybe you can offer him and Mc Fadden to someone (maybe if there is a guy whose screen name is RaiderNation or some c**p) for a decent WR
