Antonio Brown for Montee Ball

[HockeyProphet]

Would you do this trade? Does it make my team better?

My team:

QB-Romo, G.Smith, Carr
WR-Dez Bryant, Antonio Brown, Reggie Wayne, Sammy Watkins,
RB-Lacy, Gerhart, Ingram
TE-Witten, Delanie Walker, Dwayne Allen
T/W/R-Decker
K-Tucker
Def-Denver

How many do you start at each position?

Qb, qb
wr, wr
rb, rb
te,
wr/rb/te

Honestly, I think I would take it. Monte Ball is going to be the main guy for Denver this year and even though I think Brown is going to have big year, if you can land Ball for him, I'd do it. It's easier to find replacement WRs than it is quality RBs. I just dont know how much I trust Gerhart as your RB2.

[SoCalRob]

might be off topic but why are you carrying 3 tight ends? makes zero sense to me...even carrying two isn't a great idea unless you have Gronk or an injury prone guy, which Witten is not.

I would do it too. I like Gerhart, but adding Ball gives you a really nice set of 4 RBs. But who's out there on the wire as far WRs go? You'll need to bolster the WR corp after making this deal and have a TE (or 2) to spare.

My first football league, in which I have no clue what I'm doing! Ha. Any other comments about my team? Would be appreciated.

Well, on waiver we have Wheaton WR, and about it.

I'd add Wheaton and drop one of Walker or Allen (I'd drop Walker personally, but reasonable minds can differ).

After picking up Wheaton, would you pick up Allen/Walker for Kelce?

Yeah, I'd rather have Kelce's upside over Allen or Walker. But still curious about whether there might be any other worthwhile WRs out there on the wire to give a shot and see how the first week or 2 looks. Anyone like Kenny Britt, Jarrett Boykin, Greg Jennings, James Jones, Malcolm Floyd or Mohammed Sanu out there?

[HockeyProphet]

Britt, Boykin, James Jones, Floyd, Sanu..

Wheaton, Hawkins, Stills, Dobson, Williams, Latimer, Marvin Jones.. are a few others..

Any names in there that would help make my team better if I were to move Brown for Ball?

[SoCalRob]

Boykin or Wheaton are your best bets...I'd go with Wheaton...he's supposed to be the Steelers #2 WR behind Brown. Although Boykin is interesting considered Jordy Nelson's band aid boy status. Also look into adding Tim Wright as he joined the Pats as a TE and they love the TE. They have shown they can have 2 productive TE's and Gronk is hurt often. Especially since you can play a TE in your Flex spot.

Lose both Dwayne Allen and Walker, I don't see them helping you much to be honest.

Also Cody Latimer or Andre Caldwell with Welker suspended 4 games would be a good pickup

1.) I’d do the trade. I have Gerhart and I have Greene, Gore, Ben Tate and Fred Jackson on my bench if he falters. They aren’t great RB3, 4, 5’s but 3 are starters. Antonio Brown will have a big PPR yr, but with Dez and Decker (who’s going to get a lot of catches) you can stomach losing Brown
2.) I’d get Latimer because of Welker now. Keep him on your bench for week 1 and 2 to see how he does.
3.) I’d stream your defense. I have 0 faith in that defense now. Even with Miller back, I think they will be average.

Is it a PPR league?
