I have an embarrassment of riches at the RB position (Charles, Spiller, Bush, and Miller in a 1/2 ppr) and only Greg Olsen as TE.

Would you consider this a good trade:

Greg Olsen + Lamar Miller for Witten (+ Fasano)?

I already offered to someone else:

Greg Olsen + Lamar Miller for Gronkowski (+ some scrub), which I don't expect to happen in preseason. Maybe once Lamar proves some people wrong and if Olsen has a good start to the season.

I'm really set at QB, WR, and RB, but want to improve my TE. Or is the non-sexy Greg Olsen better than any of those offers?

(Oh, we only start 2 RB's with an open-flex position which will be occupied by my 2nd QB)

I'd take that Witten deal in a heartbeat. Two RB's with a good backup in a PPR league should be plenty. You're looking at an extra 40-50 receptions from Witten over Olsen.

AGREED. DO IT NOW !!!

Witten is Romo's BINKY at all times and rarely gets hurt. Hell he came back last year before he was actually ready and still produced. Tough as hell.

I get your thinking here BUT Wayne will still out produce Bowe IMO because Smith won't have an O-line to protect him because our interior O-line sucks and Bowe goes back to his ADD hands this year IMHO. Luck is still young and he will still rely on that great chemistry he has with Wayne and I see Luck being a top 5 fantasy QB this year !!

At the beginning of every season everyone's team seems very salty because it is on paper. Paper and reality are two different worlds. Not trying to be a Debbie Downer here with all due respect but.....

1. Our interior O-line better get better quickly IF Charles is to have a good to great year. Initially he will only be good out of the backfield and at the WR/Slot positions IMHO and then once opposing D's realize our interior O-line sucks they will start to game for Charles out of the backfield/slot positions and take that away as well.

2. Spiller - injury risk, inconsistent and he plays for the Bills who have QB drama going on which means teams will stack the box until their QB play gets better.

3. Bush - HIGH injury risk and plays behind an O-line that is just about as bad as our interior O-line which means teams will do the same to the Dolphins as they do to the Chiefs. See point 1.

4. Miller - see point 1 without the injury risk.
