That's a good team but I'm pretty surprised you're 5-0. Your WRs are pretty weak. You need to drop a QB, Smith or Winston, having three is kind of a waste of a roster spot. Or trade them, even if its pennies on the dollar, sell to the highest bidder. If Jordan Reed doesn't produce soon, he can go. I'm not keen on waiting for David Johnson either. The Cards look pretty bad, who knows what they'll do with him if they have a bad record come holiday season. Drop the Packers D after the Bills' bye. Boom, 4 roster spots. Look for WR help. If no one is available, take a shot on Mike Williams (LAC).
I had over 100 points the first 3 weeks, mainly because of Hunt and Brady.
I almost made a trade for Kelce in exchange for Smith and Reed but eventually the deal wasn't accepted.
This is the first week I carry 2 defenses, picked up the Packers for the Cards this week and will drop them after the Bills had their bye week.
Dropping Johnson is just hard to do, it might bite me in the ass during the playoffs and I just don't want to give him away and upgrade other teams who have room to carry him on the bench.
I was looking at Williams and will try to pick him up when I drop the Packers.
I know WR is my weak spot but Fitzgerald and Jackson have the potential to give me at least 13 points a week. I've tried to trade Smith and Reed for TY Hilton for when Luck returns, but that trade got turned down too.
The reason my WR position is weak is because I picked Johnson, Hunt and Brady in the first 3 rounds and just missed out on Kelce and Garçon in the 4th and 5th or else my team would have been aces. The good WRs are gone by the end of the 4th. I was pretty happy ending up with Fitzgerald and Jackson after all, I did expect a lot more from the Cards this year but their O-line sucks.
I'm playing the only 0-5 team this week and might be up 2 W's on the entire league after this weekend. I'm already looking at matchups for the last 2 weeks of the season to be as strong as possible in the playoffs but in this league it's really hard to pick up any decent players as every single player is very active dropping and adding players and it's hard to do anything when you're #12 on waivers.
Thanks for the input guys.
I'll keep you updated later on in the season.
