Pick up WR now or wait and pursue trade? WHIR

[2b-or-not-2b]

I'm in a 12 team auction league – “standard” scoring (QB gets 4 points for TD pass). No points for return yardage only return scores. My roster is at the very bottom of this email.

I was thin at WR so I picked up Amendola before the end of week 1. So far that's not working out so good. He appears to be making a quick recovery but not a done deal by any stretch. The free agent pickings are a bit slim at WR but there is some value there. I'm wondering if I should pick up another WR and drop a RB (probably CJ Spiller) now?

What do you guys think about CJ Spiller? How durable is Fred Jackson?

If my running backs continue to perform as they did in week 1, I should be able to trade for a pretty good WR in the next few weeks but will have to give up a solid RB to get a WR of value in return.

If I can pick up a decent WR and give up Spiller that would certainly be less costly and the trade option would still be in play if my backup RBs continue to do well.

There are 2 lists below of WR free agent options. Top WR options based on week 1 targets then by receptions.

Who looks good in the two lists below? Your feedback and thoughts are most appreciated!!

Free Agent WRs with 6 or more targets in week 1 in descending order:
Jerome Simpson, Cin WR
Antonio Brown, Pit WR
Jabar Gaffney, Wsh WR
Jason Avant, Phi WR

Darrius Heyward-Bey, Oak WR
Mohamed Massaquoi, Cle WR
Arrelious Benn, TB WR
Ben Obomanu, Sea WR

At this point I would drop amendola for anyone. Use it as a plug week to week if need be. Since you already own henne, look at bess or hartline. I would pick bess.

I think you drop Spiller and p/u either Jacoby Jones or Gaffney. Jones has more upside (better qb) and Gaffney maybe more consistant. If neither wr works out, then you can try trading one of your rb's.

FJackson has had some injuries in the past, but what rb hasn't? I wouldn't consider him injury-prone.
