12tm PPR 1/2/2/1 (can flex RB/WR/TE)
I'm really hurting at TE right now. Drafted Rudolph then picked up Niles Paul. Since you can flex a TE a lot of teams in my league have multiple TE on their roster. Trying to work out a deal for either Donnell or Gronk.
Me:
R. Wilson
T. Bridgewater
J. Charles
A. Ellington
T. Gerhart
B. Sankey
S. Ridley
A. Jeffery
M. Floyd (Ari)
M. Wallace
M. Wheaton
J. Gordon
N. Paul
Him:
M. Stafford
J. Cutler
E. Lacy
J. Bell
B. Rainey
J. Starks
E. Sanders
R. White
J. Kerley
J. Brown
R. Randle
L. Donnell
R. Gronkowski
He offered me Gronk / Rainey for Jeffery / Ridley which doesn't seem right at all. I was thinking substitute Wheaton for Jeffery.. but maybe that's too far off on the other side. I'm looking at picking up M. Jones off of the WW this week as well and would need the space.
Thoughts?
Thanks for you time. You guys do a great job w/ this.

I don't think I'd do either of the trades. The first one is too much to give up for an injury prone TE and the second one would force you to drop a back, which I don't think helps you in this situation. I think countering with Wheaton won't convince the other guy to deal.
Charles should work out better moving forward, and Asiata and Martin are not without their question marks, so I don't like the second trade either.
I'd target a TE on waivers. I think that gives you the best chance to upgrade your starting lineup.
I would not do either trade.
I would not do first trade leaves you horribly thin at WR.
I would not do second trade as it give you no improvement. Charles and Ellington is a solid backfield with Sankey backing them up. Asiata and Martin don't give the appropriate quality to warrant Charles in my opinion.
As I was typing this another offer came my way from another team:
Me:
R. Wilson
T. Bridgewater
J. Charles
A. Ellington
T. Gerhart
B. Sankey
S. Ridley
A. Jeffery
M. Floyd (Ari)
M. Wallace
M. Wheaton
J. Gordon
N. Paul
Him:
Big Ben
K. Cousins
M. Asiata
R. Jennings
D. Martin
C. Hyde
C. Ivory
J. Nelson
Mega
M. Colston
M. Sanu
D. Hopkins
J. Witten
I was offered Asiata / Colston / Martin for Charles. I'm actually kind of intrigued by this. I don't think I'd play Colston much except for maybe a bye or injury replacement, so really it'd be Asiata / Martin for Charles from my standpoint, which means I'd have to drop a RB (there's a cap on the # of RB you can have on your roster - It'd probably be Ridley).
Thoughts on this one as well?
Thanks again,
Mike
... or... do i just pick the WW for someone like Clay Harbor and play the TE by WW game the rest of the way out?
