My Minor Fantasy Problems...?

Question

My Team in a 6 Team League with 19 starting players consists of:

QB: Culpepper, Warner, Bulger, Roethlisberger

RB: LT, LaMont, Ronnie Brown, Frank Gore, Reggie Bush, and Thomas Jones

WR: Chad Johnson, Harrison, TO, Darrell Jackson, TJ Houshmandzadeh, Deon Branch, and Antonio Bryant

TE: Crumpler and McMichael

K: Vinatieri, Vanderjagt, Kaeding

DEF: Carolina, Washington, New England

I have a very solid team, the problem is how my BYE weeks fall. When I get to week 5, I do not have enough receivers to start because the Bengals and SeaHawks have their BYE weeks and I'm assuming TO won't play. So do I,

1. Take the loss/my chances

2. Drop players and pick up receivers which would be difficult to do because my bench is basically full with everything I need.

3. Between now and week 5 make a trade and who do I trade for?

Thanks guys.

We start 3 QBs, 5 WRs, 4 HBs, 2 TEs, 2 Ks, and 3 Defenses. I should have made that clear.

I'd be great if you guys could suggest me some trades to offer in the coming weeks.

Answer 1

This is a perfect example on why you have to pay attention to this stuff when you draft. Now that the harm is done, I would say cut a trade. As long as you don't get low-balled you should do OK. Look and see if someone else in your league needs to fill a spot for a bye week too. That's where I would start. I would also recommend getting rid of TO, but that's just me. I'm not convinced he will be healthy all year. First a finger and whats next? Think about it.

Answer 2

Yeah your team looks good. So if you don't do anything week 5, I believe that you would be fine. But look at the waivers and see if there are any that are available, like Crochery, Colston from NO. I think that they will be better than Jackson.

A trade would be hard because you might have to give up some studs. But if you could, Holt, Boldin, would be great.

Answer 3

Either trade or use your waiver wire to add players who can play that week. re-aquire the ones you want to keep (provided no one else does) and get a victory. if you are sure you can afford a loss and wont cost you the division, take the loss and move on. the key to a good draft in the future is to write down the off weeks as you draft the player and the team they are playing each week. it takes up more time and space but i'm 2-0 and have no conflicts whatsoever and used this idea inm my league.

Answer 4

Well with all those kickers and defense you got and it being only a 6 person league I would say you need to make moves because the other ppl probaly have stacked teams as well

Answer 5

You have everything you need huh ?? 3 kickers ? you don't need 3 kickers man.. especially when you got two of the greatest kickers in the game. Drop Kneading..and get yourself a wr..And while ur at it drop Lamont Jordan cus the Raiders are worthless this year.

Answer 6

trade TO and Darell Jackson for Donald Driver and Torry Holt. Trust me. Driver is very productive and Torry Holt always gets big catches.

Answer 7

Er... unless you make millions doing this, you shouldn't have to worry about this like crazy. Go do something productive! Just watch the games instead of worrying so much over each and every damn player!

Answer 8

i would drop a few of the defenses and or kickers. theres no reason to have backup kickers and defenses. You can alwayz go pick one up and watch for matchups.

Answer 9

Make a trade. You have time.
