You can try trades...

i.e.
Najee or Stevenson plus Smith or Olave for an upgrade.... then add Pittman. Or Baker and a WR for a better QB.

But in a 6-teamer, that might be difficult. Pittman probably isn't the only talent out there. Any given week there will be loads of points on waivers. But you can try.

I am very shocked I got Smith considering one of my buddies is a huge Eagles fan

Those are all replacement level players in a league with Pittman on the WW.

Nobody trading for those guys.

Maybe. Maybe not. No harm in an offer

Agree, in league size this small, never know who someone might prefer in the same tier, but I think it would be improbable to land an upgrade by packaging 2 of your lessor players - there's guys of the same value available on the wire

You could always just bail on the league and never say anything.

Like you did with us and baseball this year.

I totally blanked on the season that's for sure :L:L

Improbable, yes. We don't see the other five teams of five WR/RBs either though.
Always start trades in a place of convenience, I say. Others begin negotiations with soft offers. Maybe someone is lacking RB. Waiver is full of WR, but there's only two "starting" RB left...or a few more if two from one team have been drafted, but I digress.

Paying up for a QB might be the better aim.

Point being, in a league this small, "overpaying" isn't a terrible idea.

I think there is an art there.

You start off with a bad offer and often the other owner gets offended and doesn’t bother a counter.

Offer the last 3 guys on your bench for a starter and the conversation is over before it starts.

Bad offers of any kind are bad offers. I didn't suggest that combo would net him Henry or anything... I wouldn't lowball a QB upgrade offer in a 2QB
