I would love some thoughts please.
I have LaPorta as one of my TE's. My other 2 are Bowers and McBride. Is it feasible to stash LaPorta on the bench and see how he goes this week or sell him. Did not realise was coming back from a hammy injury.
I have done trades of Williams > Arnold and Kupp > Shaheed.
I have bought in Darnold re his BE, money making factor and he is playing well.
I have bought in Shaheed as team is playing well and negative BE.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. First year playing. Had not watched an NFL game until putting my team in.:)
Also thinking of boosting Corum out for a RB.
And have $35 million in the bank :eek:

Hi Kazza, your trades look good.
If you can post your Team here, it will help people to make better suggestions for you.

Hi Kazza
I'd be keeping LaPorta at this stage. Unfortunately most of the top players don't play any pre-season games and can subsequently start off slow. You see this across many teams. But more importantly who would you trade him to? You currently have the 2 "form" TE's atm. No one else is putting their hand up for selection.
With $35m in the bank I would look to trade Currum - Kamara for a short term cash grab or maybe Dobbins or Achane for both points and cash. GB's Josh Jacobs is another option while Love is out.
Bermi's suggestion of posting your team is a good one. The contributors on here will be happy to offer their suggestions.

Nothing to add to what others have said about your trades but a suggestion:
I have found the Underdog NFL fantasy podcast one of the more helpful ones.
I particularly like their weekly review show which is sub-titled Stat's vs Film (as you can see):
View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKbA6ut0U3g&ab_channel=FantasyFootballwithJosh%26Hayden

It's a discussion of every game with plenty of video to illustrate the points they make,

As long as you remember that they are talking fantasy within the context of draft competitions I think it is quite useful in helping you understand why certain players are favoured and score well.

Reverse the Kupp to Shaheed trade. London or Nabers can be fielded with Kupp benched for this round. Shaheed at too high a price range to make significant cash compared to the likes of your Thomas Jr or Pierce types. Trade Corum to Mason for the cash generation and ability to score well if the coverage is needed whilst McCaffrey is out injured.

With your cap space and tight ends failing to reach the end zone there is little benefit in trading due to the limited options for quick cash gen relative to other positions. You can bench LaPorta depending on matchups if you like.

Brown looks to be a trade out target as well since he has not scored in double figures yet. London is more of an option in draft formats than salary cap, so he could be traded soon for a Lamb/Jefferson type of player that has a high ceiling and a case for finishing amongst the top of his position.

Thank you Connoisseur I will have a look at what you have suggested.

Kupp is out 3 - 5 weeks with a high ankle sprain (syndesmosis)?? Would it be better to bring in someone who will make money or just bench him and play someone else.

Best to trade but can be left to next round depending on how many players need fixing this round. If trading, then ideally down to Pierce or Thomas Jr and if up, then to a Lamb/Jefferson type rather than the in between range.
