So im 1-3 and need to make a move or 2(PPR league). Im fine with Rivers at QB. I need another RB due to Rice and Morris being unreliable. My dilemma is what WR I should trade to get one and maybe trade another for an elite TE if Finley is going to be out long with a concussion. Right now I have a trade out that is Edelmen for Demarco Murray. He would still have Bush and Foster at RB and needs a WR pretty badly so it might go through but I doubt it. Should I just trade D Thomas for a big time RB even though he's an absolute beast? I have a shit ton of ways to go when it comes to trading my WRs, im just trying to think of the best route.

QB-Rivers, Kaep.
RB-Rice, Morris, Quizz Rodgers, Brandon Bolden.
WR-Cobb, D Thomas, Wayne, Edelmen, Austin.
TE-Finley, Miller

If he did the Edelman trade that would be money since Gronk will be back soon.

I think trading D Thomas is your best option to upgrade RB. I think morris picks it up after this week (i hope since i have him) and Rice is usually very reliable, but i'm not sure what his status is. If you get a decent RB until they're healthy/playing up to their standard then I think you'll be in good shape, especially in a PPR format.

Who's available for TE? I wouldn't trade for one unless it's gronk or graham.

I don't think the guy who has Graham would trade him. 1 of the guys has Cameron and Tony Gonzalez so I MIGHT be able to get Cameron off him if the offer was right. His 2nd WR is Sydney Rice so he is in a HUGE need for a WR to say the least.

Hold onto Rice for the time being, I think he's at an all-time low right now and you're not going to get much value for him. I know (as a Rice owner) he sucks right now but I really fail to see him not turning it around somewhat and at least becoming a viable flex or RB2 play most weeks.

i would trade rivers or kap and keep the rest of your team and easily make the playoffs. there is where the value is on your team in my opinion and really the only way to get a player of any caliber that is really going to help.

Kaep has been terrible, nobody will want him. What's the point in Keeping 3 top 10 WR(Cobb has top 10 average he just had a bye) and another top 20? Especially when both of my RBs are currently dealing with injuries and my back up is going to be useless whenever Jackson comes back.

kap not gonna be terrible all year...and someone could want him..he was top 5 last year i think...also having that flexiblity at reciever allows you to play matchups..not just starting one guy who might be running up against seahawks d or joe haden and get shut down.. either way i would explore dealing a qb to add a rb without losing any of my talent is all im saying. in theory tho i totally get what your saying with that strategy.

Never even crossed my mind. Only WR I have that I would even consider trading for Pierce is Austin. Quizz Rodgers has been pretty reliable for about 12 points per week so im fine with him until my guys are healthy or I can get another big time RB.

pierces value is limited to when rice comes back so you may be able to get him for cheap and handcuff rice going forward. other than that most runningbacks worth anything dont come cheap in fantasy and most of the time cost two players for one if they are any good to make a difference in the first place. i still would consider moving rivers kap will be serviceable and you probably can get a nice no2 running back for him.

Looks like my Edelmen for Murray trade was accepted. I apologize to all the Murray owners on here because he will now either get hurt or start sucking.

Just offered his Doug Martin and Miles Austin for my Reggie Wayne and FJax (non-PPR). Am I crazy to think this is a no-brainer for me?
