    Default Help putting together a 2-for-1 before the season starts

    I'm in a 12-team .5ppr Auction league with standard positions (and 2 keepers).

    I recently dropped my kicker to add McFadden after he was dropped. I feel like there's too much potential value for him to be sitting in FA. Problem is, now I'm going to need to either drop one of my bench players or pull off a 2-for-1 deal in order to re-add a kicker.

    My full roster:
    QB: Bradford
    RB: Miller, L. Murray, J. Bell, Mason, McFadden, David Johnson
    WR: Thomas, Julio, Landry, Stevie Johnson, Charles Johnson, Marvin Jones
    TE: Kelce

    Looking at the list, what 2 players (preferably 1RB and 1WR) would you be most comfortable trying to package in a deal? I'm obviously more confident with my WR situation than with my RBs. I'm also a little wary about Bradford being my only QB, but I could find help in FA with the likes of Palmer, Cutler, Dalton, Smith, Carr, etc, so I'm not sure I'd want to trade for one. The Brady owner asked me if I wanted him as part of a deal for my Miller (he also has Peyton), but I obviously said no.

    I'm thinking of possibly trying to contact the Randle owner with McFadden, the Gurley owner with Mason, or the Abdullah owner with Joique, but I'm hoping for some outside opinions on the situation.

    Thanks for the help!

    What do the other teams in your league want or need? The least valuable asset on your roster in Jones, but would he have any value for any other teams or might they think that he was not an upgrade on whoever they would have to drop or who was available on the waiver?

    The one player on your roster that might have more value to someone else is Bell for the Abdullah owner (McFadden was just on waivers, Mason is hurt).
    The most valuable player that you can afford to move is Landry if you start 2WR or Johnson if you start 3. Would one of them + Jones get you a good RB from a WR needy team?
    The safest trade would be to try and move one of those RBs you mentioned with Jones or Johnson for a better RB.

    The league starts 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, and 1Flex. There are actually a surprising number of teams that are weak at WR.

    Here are the weakest WR rosters IMO:

    Team A - I really like Woodhead from this team
    RB: Forsett, Ingram, Gore, Blount, Woodhead
    WR: Adams, Robinson, M.Bryant (suspended 4 games), K.Wright
    TE: Eifert, Rudolph

    Team B - I really like Gronk, but the GM's a Pats-homer so I doubt I'd ever get him. And 3TE why???
    RB:McCoy, Crowell, Duke Johnson, James White
    WR: Dez, R.Randle, Michael Floyd, Malcolm Floyd
    TE: Gronk, H.Miller,Davis

    Team C - this guy has both Rodgers and Rivers as his QB, but again I'm not sure if I need to trade for one (Rivers in this case)
    RB: Anderson, Abdullah, Sankey, Foster
    WR: Edelman, Maclin, Decker, J.Brown, Wallace, LaFell
    TE: Witten

    Team D
    RB: Lacy, Hyde, Ivory, Freeman, A.Williams
    WR: Cooks, Watkins, Smith, Agholor, White
    TE: Ebron

    My suggestions, in order, would be :

    Team C: J. Bell and S.Johnson for Foster. Manager gets a WR that should be an upgrade over an injured Lafell and security for Abdullah.

    Team A: Mason and S. Johnson for Woodhead. Not sure the manager would go for this as the team has depth at RB already. You could try M. Jones and Johnson for Woodhead. I like C. Johnson more the Woodhead, so wouldn't offer him in a 2 for 1.

    Good luck.
