Targeting a WR2

Postby garretterik » Tue Aug 28, 2012 8:37 pm

I had the 7th pick in a standard yahoo scoring league. I got Brees ;-D and Gronk ;-D . I ended up with depth at RB ;-D and my major weakness is WR. See team below.
Two guys in my league only have 2 starting RBs
Team 1(Richardson/Bush) WR Megatron, Fitz, Green, Moore, and Baldwin
Team 2(McCoy/Jones-Drew) WR Nicks, SSmith, DJax, Collie, Rice, Moore

1. Which WR should I target? I am thinking I could make an offer for SSmith or AJ Green without paying an arm and a leg.
I was thinking of offering them a 2-1. (picking up DWilson(NYG) or RWilliams(ARi) or Freeman as my QB2)

2. Which WR/RB combo should I offer? I was thinking Jennings+Garcon or TSmith Both of these guys are tier 4 type guys with lots of upside.

My team:
QB Drew Brees (NO - QB)
WR Roddy White (Atl - WR)
WR Pierre Garcon (Was - WR)
WR Torrey Smith (Bal - WR)
RB Steven Jackson (StL - RB)
RB Willis McGahee (Den - RB)
TE Rob Gronkowski (NE - TE)
BN Ahmad Bradshaw (NYG - RB)
BN Donald Brown (Ind - RB)
BN Malcom Floyd (SD - WR)
BN Ben Tate (Hou - RB)
BN Titus Young (Det - WR)
BN Rashad Jennings (Jac - RB)
K Matt Bryant (Atl - K)
DEF Green Bay (GB - DEF)

WW:
QB: (lots of good options, so I am comfortable with only Brees) Smith, Freeman, Locker, Palmer, Fitzpatrick
WR: (my biggest weakness!) Burleson(Det), Amendola/Quick/Smith(StL), Baldwin(Sea), Manningham(SF), Simpson(MN suspended), Sanders(Pit), LaFell(Car), Henderson(NO), Nelson(Buf)
RB: Spiller, RWilliams(Ari), DWilson(NYG), Gerhart, PThomas(NO), Blount(TB), Pead(StL), LeShoure, Vereen, FJones, Starks, Hightower, RBrown(SD), DThomas(MAi),Best(Det),

I think Most valuable receivers there are in this order: megatron, Fitz, AJ green, Nicks, SSmith, Djax. Truthfully, the main ones I would want to target are megatron Fitz and AJ green. I feel they are all gaurantees for a good season. Nicks shown injuries can get in the way amd SSmith is gettin older and the panthers are running more. Plus killer cam didnt look that great in the second half of last season. Djax is iffy and I say the rest of the WR's you listed are useless.


I would pick up ryan williams if u di a 2 for 1

and I would try and shop Ahmad bradshaw and donald brown over other because they may lookm ore appetizing to others then they actually are. Not saying the 2 together but I am saying that those are the main 2 I would want to get rid of if i had. I would keep Steven Jacksion if possible...hes a work horse

I offered TSmith and DBrown for AJ Green as a starting bid. I have a feeling I will have to replace Brown for Bradshaw, but I still think I would do it.

Thanks for your help with mine earlier.

If you can believe Michael Vick, DJax is apparently having a monster camp, and has a lot to prove after tanking on his team last year. I know everyone loves AJ Green, but I don't trust that offense at all.

You have a bit of a trump card with Team 2's Jones-Drew handcuff, who we know is going to start the season - I'd try to swing Jennings and D. Brown for DJax to open that conversation.

And with Team 1 I'd be willing to go McGahee/Garcon or T.Smith if it would land you Fitz. I like Bradshaw more than most, but you could also him with one of these WRs for Fitz.

Good luck!
