Gentlemen, The Retired Soldier needs some assistance.
10tm 2QB PPR League w/Flx
I give up K.Orton and J.Witten....I get L.Donnell.
**Neg note**Tannehill is on Bye...so if Stanton doesn't start in place of Palmer, I'm missing one QB starting this week.
**Pos not** Witten has been garbage this season and Eli Manning does look to his TE quite a bit.
Thoughts?
QB Tannehill, Locker (Stanton, Orton, Whitehurst)
TE N.Paul (Witten)
I really like the second trade that lands you Kelce and Spiller. I think that's a similar TE upgrade and adding Spiller is nice. I'd do that trade, especially with Stanton set to start.
Thanks Ellis, Hua!
The news of Palmer's complications today might be enough to make you feel comfortable with that trade. I'd be worried about being without a QB this week though.
I love Donnell and I'm a believer in Eli finding his TE. However, it looks like you are desperate at QB. I would very likely hang on to Orton, hoping that he turns it around. It was encouraging to see Witten get a few more looks this week, and Charles Clay has some potential too... you could go that route.
Ultimately, I'm just too scared of your QB situation for you to give up a starter.
Is H. Miller, D Allen or A. Seferian-Jenkins available ? If one looks at the stat line one sees that Jenkins caught 3 passes out of 7 targets for 44 yards. M Glennon looked to him often VS Pitt. so I expect that to continue. He is a big target especially in the end zone and with Evans still out and Jackson likely drawing double coverage, Jenkins could find pay dirt.
If I were to trade Orton which trade would be better for me....
The above one to give up Orton and Witten....to get Donnell.
or
A new trade offer..
I give up Orton and Ridley....to get Spiller and Kelce.
Thoughts?
QB Tannehill, Locker (Stanton, Orton, Whitehurst)
RB Lacy, McCoy (R.Bush, Ridley)
TE Witten
Oh, and I appreciate the your service too Brandon. It's always nice to see fellow Vets doing well.
I figured this would be the answer but wished there was some way I could get Donnell on the team. Hopefully Palmer will be out awhile so I can take advantage of Stanton by trading Orton. The other benefit is that I like Bills' schedule too in case I keep him.
No doubt Donnell has passed Witten, IMO. Gamble on your QB issues at your own risk, but Donnell's a stud. Just read an article he benched himself on his own fantasy team in favor of vernon davis and lost by 15---he would have won if he played himself. He's a better TE than GM I'd say. Giants schedule is cake coming up too...
Waiver Wire TEs include....Ladarius Green, Garrett Graham, Charles Clay.....
