What should I do with MJD should I try to trade him now or does he have no value left and I gotta wait until the contract issues clear up

I got AP and Turner I need another back I thought MJD was going to be back way before this

You should check the waiver wire for Jonathon Dwyer. Even though I think he'll only have value for a game or two, he'll be a nice stop gap until AP is at full health or until MJD stops his hold-out. I avoided MJD in everyone of my drafts. I think he misses 3-6 games.

How are you going to be using that TE? If he isn't going to be in your line-up every week than I'd keep all of those WRs. All of them are too valuable to drop in standard formats. If any of them though, it'd have to be Greg Little. Even though Rice has injury concerns, he'll still perform when on the field, while Little will struggle in a stagnant offense. Blackmon is the most valuable out of that list.

The TE I'd pick up would be Jermaine Gresham. He's been considered a sleeper by a lot of writers because he fits the Bengals offense so well. I think he'll be the second option to AJ Green and should see plenty of looks in the redzone with Green getting the added attention.

Just drafted 10 team PPR league. Had 4th pick.

QB-brady, schaub
RB- mcfadden, spiller, kevin smith, BJGE,
WR - welker, lloyd, colston, antonio brown, crabtree, manningham
TE- pettigrew and daniels
K-crosby
D-packers

The schaub pick was an autodraft when wasnt paying attention. Reached for some players but is PPR so had to get who was gonna get the most receptions available.

Actually thinking of proposing a trade to upgrade somewhat at RB since I been hearing negative thoughts on spiller and smith. I was thinking of offering brady, lloyd, and smith for brees, jamaal charles, and Carolina Steve Smith, or Miles Austin if need be. I would get Brees and have Colston so keep a QB/WR combo and I still keep Welker who is a PPR monster. Only worry is charles injury and timeshare but he was great before getting hurt.

Kevin Smith is a suitable RB for at least the first two games, especially in a PPR league. That'll give you time to scrap on the waiver wire for future replacements. I doubt that trade would happen. Brady and Brees aren't too far off and I think the other owner would be giving up way too much. Welker and Lloyd both hamper your high weeks because it'll be hard for each receiver to have a big week when the other does. Antonio Brown is a solid 3rd WR option.

All in all, at this point I'd look to move Welker or Lloyd for a RB or at the very least another WR. It'll be hard to keep on both especially when it looks like you drafted them at or above their actual values.

Thanks for the input. Offered a trade for Jamaal Charles for Brandon Lloyd. hoping other owner sees having Thomas Jones gives him somewhat of a timeshare for points in KC backfield even tho JC usually has more YPC. Drafted another team but unfortunately it was an auto since i aint make it in time. Luckily these 2 are just fun random leagues and my serious league drafts tomorrow. I see a huge weakness at RB, gonna have to check the waiver wire and make some moves.

QB: Tom Brady, Ben Roethlisberger
RB: Ahmad Bradshaw, Jonathan Stewart, Chris Wells, Felix Jones, Shane Vereen
WR: Julio Jones, Roddy White, Hakeem Nicks, Miles Austin, Michael Crabtree
TE: Jason Witten, Jared Cook
PK: Dan Bailey
TD: Atlanta Falcons

There really is no reason to load up on WRs like that. Especially when there are some good ones later on in the draft. That backfield is pretty rough. I'd be looking to trade Roddy White or Nicks for a RB immediately. Maybe Austin if you can. I don't think owners are too fond of him this year.
