If you don't have the depth, or perhaps injury at RB - going with a TE at flex (to me) was far more viable then a WR.

In my yahoo league I have Graham as my starting TE. If I don't like the matchup that my flex RB's then I have Owen Daniels off waiver wire.
Andre Johnson is the #1 target, Daniels is #2 in a very efficient passing offense. If the matchup is right he's usually good for 8-14 points.

Agreed.

However Brown is a solid "consolation" prize - he might be the most complete WR's on the Steelers roster.

i got antonio brown and joe flacco for mikel leshoure and RGIII. i feel pretty good about it.

Offered Percy Harvin and Anquan Boldin for Jamaal Charles.

I really don't want to get rid of Harvin, as he's the best FLEX WR option. But if it means acquiring Charles, I can live with it.

It's about as even as a trade can be in our league, especially since his receivers are: Demaryius Thomas, Leonard Hankerson, and Jon Baldwin. He's fucking STACKED at RB though. Charles, Rice, AP, and CJ Spiller... I have no clue how he ended up with a RB situation like that, but I'm certainly not mad about it.

Well, I am, but you get what I'm saying. :lol:

Wow I didn't know that was the trade. Or perhaps I overlooked the specifics... Umm. I wouldn't feel to good about that. RGIII has been a
fantasy sensation. Pretty sure the #1 overall fantasy QB..? Your WR situation aside - Stafford is made of glass. If he goes out they'll lean
heavily on Mikel.

Charles is hit or miss. He's such a viable option in the receiving game though that his value is through the roof.

Yeah, this is my only money league, so I'm trying to finalize my team by making this trade. I've worked some trades around, and I've got a pretty stellar team, minus my RB situation which will be straight NASTY if I get Charles.

QB's: Romo, Cutler (not the best two, but serviceable)
RB's: Matthews, Mendenhall, Stewart
WR's: Megatron, Dez, Harvin, Boldin, Amendola, Lafell, Little, Blackmon (I stocked up for trade bait, as you can see)
TE's: Mercedes Lewis, Heath Miller (FA pick up, was so stoked to see him on the wire!)
D/ST: Packers
K: Bironas

He would be replacing Percy Harvin in my FLEX, which is why I am trying to get him so bad.

I'm not sure if I'd call that team "stellar"...

QB - You have Romo's inconsistency then a turnover machine.
RB - A gimp.
RB - A crippled
RB - nagging injuries plus splits carries with 2 other backs.

WR - Stud
WR - headcase
WR - flexable
WR - Reliable
WR - Reliable

TE - decent

DEF - One decent week against, oh look... Cutler

I'd try to get a more consistent QB lineup. Perhaps RB's who aren't
a) constantly injured. b) getting less then 12 carries a game

People in this league are holding on to RB's like they are fucking gold... Given the fact that it's a 14 team league, I'd say it's a pretty stellar team if I added Charles to the mix.

that's the trouble I'm having, except with WR's.

This is the first 14 team I've ever done, and I freaking hate it...and it doesn't help the league was full of dumbasses...

first rd, 8 QB's went..I actually went RB with my first 3 picks because everyone was picking QB and WR, and with a 14, because I couldn't get a top WR, i had to go deep at RB and maybe trade one..unfortunately the RB's that I picked haven't panned out much so far (Forte, Murray and Bradshaw)

I got left with Jennings as my #1WR, and now my #2 WR is a waiver wire, so i'm scrambling to find just one consistent WR

Ouch, not sure how long Forte is going to be out, but I got rid of Bradshaw as soon as I could. Nothing against him, I just don't think (with his style of running) he can stay healthy.
