I'm really weak at TE in one of my leagues. Starting Ladarius Green. I have decent depth at RB... Forte, Jennings, Bell, Woodhead, Rice. I reached out to a guy who has Jordan Reed and needs some help at RB to see if he'd be interested in dealing him. He offered Reed for Rashad Jennings and Ladarius. Not really liking that, but wanted to see what you guys think? Joique/Ladarius seems a little more comfy for me, but still not sure. Thoughts?

No way would I do either of those trades. RB> TE. Pick someone of the wavers if you have to. I mean Charles Clay and zach ertz have been available in my league

Definitely would not do that for Jennings. Even Bell/Green for Reed would favor him, but given your circumstances could be defensible.

Reed is a top 5 TE. How many RBs can you start? Is it a ppr league?

It's a 12-team, 1 pt. PPR. Start 2 RBs, then we have a flex. Right now I have Forte as my RB1, Jennings as my RB2, Bell as my flex. Also have Woodhead as a flex option, and Ray Rice who should be back in the mix in 2-4 weeks. Yeah, neither option feels right. I may dial it back and see if another guy would want to deal Martelius Bennett, I know he likes Woodhead.

Graham, Thomas, Gronk, Davis, Cameron, Witten, Olsen ahead of Reed. Maybe Rudolph too with Norv Turner around. Not to mention Ertz, Bennett, and Pitta (and Rudolph depending where you put him) are pretty much equal with Reed.

That puts Reed anywhere from #8 to #12 TE.

That said, Reed is an upgrade over Ladarius Green for sure

Jennings is better than rice and bell but not as much as reed is better than green in a ppr league. Reed is going to put up at least 60 more points over the season than green in a ppr league. Jennings might put up 20 more than bell/rice. Bell and rice are basically even. If you can get reed for bell/green or rice/green, that would be ideal but you'd come out ahead in a reed for Jennings/green trade as well.

Graham, Thomas, gronk, reed,Cameron would be my top 5. Witten, Rudolph,Davis,Olson would follow.

I didn't realize he barely failed the test.

I didn't realize someone was dumb enough to claim they failed a drug test due to secondhand smoke yet still feel the need to check into rehab just for "life skills" advice. What a chucklehead. How dumb does Gordon think we all are?

Cecil Shorts was going to be my flex play this week, who should I use now? Joique Bell, Ryan Mathews, Darren Sproles. Those are my 3 options in the order I'm leaning.

That would be my order too going into week one. We'll see how they use Sproles in Philadelphia. He might be more valuable later this year

For some reason Lagarett Blounte is available in obe of my leagues. I kind of have to pick him up for free.

Should I drop Tannehill, my backup QB, Jordan Matthews unknown quantity at WR, or my backup TE Charles Clay?

I took him in the 16th round of my draft. Figured anyone else I took at that point I could likely find on the waiver wire anyways. Still not counting on him being in, but if he is, total score.

Please tell me you just drafted straight players and then picked up K and/or DST off waivers after the draft, and then please tell me that you don't have an auction wire.
