    I'd drop or trade Gates to a TE desperate team. Hunter Henry has filled in nicely the last two weeks. Is he available? I like him over Tamme.

    I'm trying to trade Gronk for a stud WR, or a mid-tier WR and good QB combo. I've got a nibble on Antonio Brown, but the guy is asking for too much in return (he also wants Le'Veon Bell). Hoping I can convince him to take Gronk and someone else, maybe Yeldon.

    I'm trying to trade Gronk this week because I think this hamstring injury is lingering and severely limiting him. In his two games back, the Patriots have barely even sent out in pass patterns. He's primarily been used as a blocker. I'm not sure he's going to break out with Brady coming back, so I'm trying to deal him while everyone still assumes he will. If he goes out Sunday and has a bad game with Brady behind center, his value is going to drop significantly.

    Henry would be your best bet. As long as Gates is out. I don't believe in the Falcons long term, and Tamme has a terrible matchup this week. I'd grab Henry, then stream if Gates returns.

    Trade Ben. He can put up more TDs in any game than Rodgers, but he's inconsistent and injury prone. Plus, after last week, you'll get more for him.

    You want Brown for Gronk and Yeldon? You're one of those guys.

    Henry is taken, unfortunately. The guy who has Gronk also has Graham, so I'm trying to pry him away.

    And I agree that trading Ben is the play. A wise man once told me that conservatism wasn't just for politics.

    I initially offered Gronk for Brown straight up. :D

    Of course I want Brown for Gronk and Yeldon. Doesn't mean I expect to get it. But I'm also not going to give up Bell and Gronk for Brown alone. More likely, I'd need to give up Bell and Gronk for Brown and someone else. Unfortunately, his RB corps is fairly thin and I'm thinking he wouldn't trade Roethlisberger and Brown together. Not sure I even want to part with Bell, since Yeldon would then slot in as my No. 2 RB with CJ Anderson.

    Matt Ryan: Sell high, or ride the hot arm as long as he's slinging?

    Sell.

    I just got offered Carr and Hopkins for Winston and Evans. But I don't need Carr. Thinking of countering with Hopkins and Howard.

    Now that I think about it, I'm leaning toward offering Winston, Evans and Michael for Carr, Hopkins and Howard.

    My other QB is Wilson; my other receivers are Brown, D. Thomas, T. Benjamin and Jordan Reed (we have no TE spot); my other running backs are Lacy, Hyde and Henry.

    Have to choose between Matt Ryan and Andy Dalton today. I have Julio Jones as well, so I'm tempted to pair up Ryan and Jones, but if the Denver D shuts them down, it could sink me. However, Ryan is playing so much better than Dalton it's tempting. Thoughts?
