  My team is in bad shape heading into the playoffs and it's a pretty big money league.  I have a 1.5 game lead in the division with a 7-4 record, so if I'm 0-2 and another team goes 2-0, most likely I am out of the playoffs completely on tiebreakers.  I lost McFadden for an extended time and now Gronkowski.  My WRs are just not that good.  Even if I limp into the playoffs, I'm not all that confident.  Should I trade Spiller for AJ Green (if I can)?  This is a very limited keeper redraft league and Spiller has 4th round keeper value for next year while AJ Green has 2nd round value.  I probably need to start Brown until McFadden is back.  The trade deadline is tomorrow (Wednesday at noon EST).  Do I hold and hope for the best (namely Gronk returning), or desperately try to trade Spiller who is my best trade chip for a run in the playoffs?  I hate to trade Trent, but he might be my next biggest trade chip.  Other than a top WR, I'm not sure how else to improve my team considering I don't hold many trade chips.  We'll see how waivers go, but there is not much there.

  Standard non-PPR scoring (1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1 RB/WR/TE, 1 DST, 1 K).

  My Team:

  QB: Stafford, Locker

  RB: Trent, Spiller, McFadden, Donald Brown

  WR: Cruz, Lance Moore, Mike Williams, Kendall Wright, Maclin

  TE: Myers, Gronkowski

  DST: Bengals, Jets

  K: Gould

   

  His Team:

  QB: Brees

  RB: Stewart, BenJarvus, MJD, Murray, Bell

  WR: Green, V. Jackson, Andre Johnson, Titus young

  TE: Miller

  DST: 49ers, Patriots

  K: Bailey

  I was able to swap Maclin with Blackmon to help me out this week. Additionally, Hilton is the biggest guy still on waivers.

  Green cant' be covered, not sure teams figure it out this year either.  Go with the hot and consistent hand.  Green by a wide margin for me

  I love how both are mentioned in the same breathe. Go Green.

  That means Donald Brown at RB2 until McFadden is healthy and already down to Myers at TE?  That's like playing 2 positions short.
  
  Edit:  He seems to be content with Murray and BJGE.
