Trade advice

[b0ng]

OKay here's my conundrum. I have no runningbacks and I'm sitting a WR each week that's making somebody cry. in a 3WR league I have:

R. Wayne (IND)
R. Moss (MN)
H. Ward (Pitt)
S. Holmes (NYJ)
M. Williams (TB)

And then Louis murhpy for kicks. What sort of rb's should I be looking at. A guy in the league had Thomas Jones on his bench because he had better starters.

I'd be looking for a top 15 RB. Thomas Jones is NOT worth one of your top WRs.

Look for a team that has 3-4 good RBs but needs help at WR. Then see what happens.

Also, I just made another trade. Curious what you guys think.

I get Calvin Johnson and Beanie Wells and he gets Cedric Benson and Kenny Britt.

My team now looks like this:

QB: Philip Rivers & Kyle Orton
RB: Arian Foster, Ahmad Bradshaw, Jamaal Charles, Mike Tolbert, & Beanie Wells
WR: Calvin Johnson, Brandon Marshall, Wes Welker, Mike Wallace, & Michael Crabtree
TE: Zach Miller & Aaron Hernandez
D/ST: Seattle Seahawks
K: Matt Bryant

What I am now thinking of doing is trading Ahmad Bradshaw & Wes Welker or Mike Wallace for Steven Jackson & the Steelers D. The guy badly needs a decent WR & has both the Titans D and Steelers D.

Thoughts?

I have Ahmad Bradshaw

They will trade all 3:

Jonathan Stewart
Shonne Green
Nate Washington

No. Shonn Greene has been a bust that shows no sign of getting better, Jonathan Stewart is not getting any opportunities and the Panthers offense sucks, and Nate Washington isn't even the Titans top receiver anymore (that now belongs to Kenny Britt.

Don't do it. Quality>Quantity

I think that changes on a weekly basis.

That's what I was thinking. I already have DeAngelo Williams (bust) and I have kept Knowshon stashed for a while to be my flex guy.

So any of you guys have opinions on my trade?

I sent Cedric Benson and Kenny Britt for Calvin Johnson and Beanie Wells (has been terrible but has some potential upside and is getting the majority of the carries in AZ).

Think I should do a trade of Cedric Benson for Hakeem Nicks?

I could also possibly do Andre for Ahmad Bradshaw & Brandon Marshall. Think I should do either one?

I would jump at that one if I were you. Bradshaw and Marshall are both starters and each will get you about what Andre will. Dre just doesn't get the TD's like other WR's do.

I like that trade even without Weenie Wells.

A little behind buddy.

Already made that trade. Well almost the same trade. I sent Andre, Kellen Winslow, and Felix Jones for Marshall, Bradshaw, and Zach Miller.

Now I have turned around and traded Cedric Benson and Kenny Britt for Calvin Johnson and Beenie Wells.

Thanks man. I am having to do my best to make up for a bad trade I made. I traded Mendenhall and fillers for Wes Welker and Cedric Benson. I am finding out that Welker helps very little in non ppr leagues. He simply doesn't get enough yardage so now I have Marshall and Calvin Johnson as my wrs and Bradshaw, Charles, and Foster as my rbs.

I am happy with that. I may turn around and trade Bradshaw or Charles along with Welker or Mike Wallace for Steven Jackson and the Steelers D. What do you think of that? I would be extremely solid at every position, Jackson is getting his swagger back, and the Steelers D has been the best in the league so far. He badly needs wr help as all he has is Driver and Colston. Thoughts?

I definitely wouldn't let go of Bradshaw and I probably wouldn't do it anyways. Defenses are a dime a dozen, 2 of the top 5 defenses are free agents in one of my leagues.

If you really like SJax, maybe offer Charles and Welker/Wallace but that's pushing it. And Steelers D should just be an afterthought IMO.

Thanks bro! I am definitely going to heed your advice this time around. I was reading back through the thread, and you were adamantly against me trading Mendenhall for Benson and Welker. Definitely a mistake on my part, but I think I have made up for it with some of my recent trades and waiver signings.

Available defenses in my league are the Seahawks, Cardinals, Falcons, Lions, Chargers, Redskins, Chiefs, Dolphins, & Buccaneers. Think I should sign any of those?

Depends on your league scoring settings. In my money league Seattle is the 4th ranked defense and SD is 5th, so not bad pickups at all.

Assuming add/drops are free you could always just play matchups week to week. Seattle plays Arizona this week and they will probably rack up a bunch of points going against undrafted rookie Max Hall.

Wow! I would have thought league scoring for defense would be pretty similar across the board. In my league Seattle is ranked 4th but SD is ranked 9th.

I went ahead and stayed with Seattle this week. Already had them on my team and will stick with them I guess.

I might pick up SEA defense and drop the SD. What do y'all think? SD has NE this week, then TEN and HOU and then they are on a BYE.

*Edt, SEA is not available. I am worried about keeping SD. Skins, Rams, Cards, Cowboys, Panthers are available.

I have SD in my main league and I plan on sticking with them at least through the bye. But it's 10$ per add/drop so that's factoring into my decision also.

My advice would be to keep SD and pick up Was for the week if you have the roster space available.

I like Was for the week but I have to drop someone. Lee Evans or Spiller is about all I would part with but i don't think I want to for a defense.

Hes offering:
Carson Palmer
Jamal Charles
Donald Driver

Hes wanting:
Eli Manning
Ray Rice
Mike Wallace



Manning and Palmer have been statisticlaly pretty equivelent, although palmer has been slightly better

Rice has been a big disappointment, and Charles has been better, however he has not scored very often

Wallace has performed better than Driver, but he doesn't start most weeks for me
