I am in a 8-team league with QB,RB,RB,WR,WR,TE,RB/WR,K,DEF as our starters and just finished my draft. My players are:
QB: Brees, Bradford
RB: Gore, Stewart, Ivory, Foster, and Martin
WR: A. Brown, D. Thomas, A.J. Green, V. Jackson, D. Funchness
TE: D. Walker
K. McManus
DEF. Dolphins
As you can probably tell, I went WR/WR/WR in the first three picks, and am wondering if my RB core is strong enough to stay as is, or if I should trade for a RB1 like Lynch. Personally, I think that Stewart has strong upside, Gore and Ivory will be consistent as all heck, Martin is boom-or-bust, and Foster will be a RB1 the second he returns. So, is a playoff RB team of Foster, Gore, Stewart, Ivory, and Martin enough?
Oh, and I'm thinking of trading Brees and AJ Green for Bridgewater and Dez Bryant because I'm super high on Bradford and I think I'll get more trades out of offering Dez than AJ
You definitely drafted by the 4for4 book... WRs early and then get the RB value later on. Yeah, I think your RBs are fine at least in this moment. I agree with you about Stew and Gore. Ivory has quietly had a really nice camp so I'm targeting him as well and Foster is on the mend. I wouldn't make any moves now because I think your team looks good.
But as for the trade ... I don't think you need to do it. I'm high on Bradford too, but there is an injury risk there. Your WRs are fine as is that I'd rather have the security of Brees I think.
