The "Should I do this trade thread"

Dutchrudder said:
In an NON-PPR league, I would advise against this trade. Roddy White hasn't been as good as I had hoped this year, and AJ is out for another week or so, plus a bye in week 11. Your team would have 4 #1 WRs if you do this trade, and only two #1 RBs. You can't play all 4 WRs at once, but you can play all three RBs. I like your setup as it is, and if anything, I would try to trade CJ for AJ or White if you really want one of them and the other guy is hard up for RBs.

i see. the guy has miles austin as well. I know he's coming off an injury too, but is he a better option than roddy?

Yeah, I like miles more than Roddy for the future. You might try trading CJ and Vincent Jackson for two of White/AJ/Austin. Do you have any Other RBs available?

I have fred jackson as well, but the other guy doesn't seem to want him. no rbs on my bench though. I might end up just staying as is and sticking with these 3 rbs.

Well you're going to need a third RB either way, so you might want to make sure you get one in any trade you do.

Doesn't seem like you gain much there. Gresham is doing alright, but your RBs are already kind of thin. I would stick with Gore as I think his production will be worth more than what you would gain by dropping down to Hillis and upgrading to Gresham. See if you can trade CJ or SJax instead. Gore's too good for that.
 
Gresham is on the waiver wire in some leagues. Not worth trading for. Just depends on who you think will miss more games. Gore to injury, or Hillis to disgruntled disgruntleness.

yeah I just don't think much of Hillis at all. i would hold onto gore in your case.
 
Non PPR. I am trying to get Dez Bryant from this guy who needs a 2nd RB bad. I am offering Ben Tate and Felix Jones for Bryant. Would he consider this deal, or what would it take to sweeten this deal for him to accept?

He has:

QB Ben Roethlisberger
RB Arian Foster
RB Bernard Scott
WR Anquan Boldin
WR Dez Bryant
WR Antonio Brown
TE Aaron Hernandez

Bench: Dallas Clark
Bench: Joseph Addai
Bench: Joe Flacco
Bench: Danarius Moore
Bench: Michael Bush
Bench: Darrius Heyward-Bey
Bench: Plexiglass Burress

I have:
QB Cam Newton
RB Ray Rice
RB Steven Jackson
WR Larry Fitzgerald
WR Jeremy Maclin
WR Brandon Lloyd
TE Jared Cook

Bench: Greg Olsen
Bench: Shonn Greene
Bench: Ben Tate
Bench: Felix Jones
Bench: Damaryius Thomas
Bench: Maurice Morris
Bench: Terrell Owens
 
Try Tate or Jones and include Brandon Lloyd in the deal as his new WR#3. He may be deluded into thinking Lloyd will do well with Bradford.
 
Confused on if I should do either trade:

Starks RB/GB
Desean Jackson WR/PHI

for

Chris Johnson RB/TEN - I have him.

or.....

Starks RB/GB
Desean Jackson WR/PHI
Kolb QB/ARI

for

Chris Johnson RB/TEN - I have him.
Jay Cutler QB/CHI

What do you guys think? Should I even do these?
 
I'm curious what you guys think of the trade I just did. I am 3-4 and needed to shake things up.

I sent Lesean McCoy, Brandon Marshall, Jonathan Stewart, and Eric Decker.

I received Ray Rice, Hakeem Nicks, and Shonn Greene.

PPR? Hate it.

Non PPR. I like the upgrade from Steward to Greene.

Does anyone have an answer for this one?

Desean isn't doing much, but CJ24 is pretty much a bust all season.

Starks....if Ryan Grant isn't doing anything, he could help at RB for me.
 
CJ2K is a waste of space. As long as he isnt trying, he is worthless. If you can get DJ for him then do it. I could care less for Starks or Kolb.

Take the first deal.
 
Thanks, SM. I did the trade.

Now that Munchak is leaning on Ringer more than CJ, it was a good time to jump on the trade. Hopefully Desean comes through and Starks can pick up his running game or at least get receptions.

Cool. There is a chance CJ could get a fire lit under his ass, but do you really want to gamble on the coaches being able to get the millionaire to care?
 
We've changed our league to a keeper league and my RB's are:

Fred Jackson/Ray Rice/Cedric Benson/Mark Ingram

I typically start Jackson/Rice/Benson.

However a guy is offering me Torain for Benson. Benson is really a steady guy to have in the lineup for 7-12 points, but Torain is in a more legit rushing offense and is all potential right now.

What do you guys think? He could also be a keeper.

I like Benson. Also who knows what skelator is going to do in a week from now. He could start Helu for all we know. Benson is the guy.

I feel the same way. Let me ask this... Would you trade Benson for Best? I tried researching his injury status and it's still up in the air. But he's a complete animal when he's on the field!

Straight up, yes. Depending on what else you have to throw into the deal, maybe not...

I'm pretty sure I can get him straight up. The concussions though are a little troubling. As far as I know he could not even play this year. Decisions...
 
Should I take an offer of

Chris Johnson and Dwyane Bowe
for
Shonn Greene, Daniel Thomas, and Jordy Nelson

?!?

My Rb's are Ray Rice, Darren McFadden, Michael Bush, Shonn Greene, & Daniel Thomas.

My Wr's are Larry Fitz, Hakeem Nicks, Jordy Nelson, Darrius Heyward-Bey

Why haven't you hit the accept button yet? You're already crowded at the running back position and are weak at WR after Fitz and Nicks. Bowe is the best player involved in that trade and you're getting him. Greene has picked it up lately but has been a bust up until then. I don't have Nicks on any of my teams so I haven't been following him closely but he seems to be off and on injured throughout most of this season. Bowe gives you 3 studs at the WR and you get the potential of CJ2.8 busting out of his slump and reverting back to 1st round status. Either way you're getting the best player (Bowe) and the highest ceiling player (CJ2.8) without giving up much. The other guy is getting trade raped

Why would you trade for a player who has concussion issues? Do you really want to lose a constantly productive Benson for a guy who may not even come back this year?

They are talking about Torain not even starting this week. Be glad you didnt trade for him.

Chris Johnson is worthless. Bowe is hot and cold, and you already have Fitz, Nicks and Nelson.

You need Green in case McFadden foot issue doesnt go away.

I say hold your cards.

When he comes back, his scores should be off the charts. Also, I have Jonathan Stewart and Mark Ingram on my bench. I can use one of those guys or a wr, which I have James jones and crabtree.

I think it's worth the risk

Thanks. I prefer Bush though should McFadden's foot not heal like they think. Bush is better, IMO, than Greene.

Michael Bush that is.

Your call. Having Bush definitely gives yo some options. I just dont like CJ2.9.

Its a no-brainer for you then. I look at the trade in 2 parts. Statistically the major pieces are Greene/Nelson for Bowe. Greene was a fantasy bust last year and was one all this year until the last few weeks. Since you prefer Bush to Greene and already have Bush, it's basically Nelson for Bowe. I would take that 10/10 times. Nelson unfortunately plays in a GB offense that spreads the ball around. He's nice to have but is not a keeper IMO. The keepers on that offense are Jennings and Finley outside of Rodgers of course. Bowe gets way more opportunities to put up numbers

The second half of the trade is Thomas for CJ2.8. I liked Thomas going into the season and stashed him on as many of my rosters that I could, because he offered you that sleeper rookie upside. He's been injured too much to hang on too now and is basically a waiver-wire juggler. CJ2.8 is playing like trash but he still has a massive upside and can be a huge trade asset if he starts turning it around.
 
Agreed above. This guy wanted to give me CJ for a ham sandwich. I wasn't even hungry and still held onto my sandwich!
 
I give:
Vincent Jackson
Willis McGahee

I get:
AJ Green
Ben Tate

I'm 8-1 and McGahee is on my bench. Vjax is so inconsistent that I have been starting Colston in his place lately. I'm looking at the week 15/16 playoff matchups and check this out:
VJax - vs Balt and @Detroit
AJ Green - @ STL and vs Arizona

That's all I'm looking at. My RBs are Ray Rice, Fred Jackson and Michael Turner. Not benching those guys for McGahee unless there is an injury. What do you think?
