I'm in a standard non-PPR league. We start 2 RBs and 2 WRs, no flex.
My RB Stable (emphasis on the horse manure):
Barber
Forte
Washington (RIP)
Bradshaw
Felix Jones
My WR situation is slightly more pleasant:
Vincent Jackson (BEAST!)
Chad Ochocinco
Anquan Boldin
Steve Breaston
Johnny Knox
I'm thinking of offering Forte + 1 or 2 of Boldin/Breaston/Knox for Ced Benson and Antonio Bryant.
His situation -
RB:
MJD
Slaton
Benson
Julius Jones
WR:
Steve Smith (NYG)
Rice
Mason
Henderson
Meachem
My questions to you guys are:
a ) Or either one of us be getting screwed? (I'm a fantasy novice)
b ) What should my exact package be? (Forte and Bryant are musts simply to trade busts)
c ) Would you pull the trigger if you're the other guy?
Also, his QBs are Rodgers and Flacco and mine are Cutler and Orton...should I try swapping Flacco for Cutler (can't stand the inconsistency)?<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
There's no way you get Flacco for Cutler. I <i>might</i> do Flacco for Cutler and one of those receivers. Maybe.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yeah, but most of the guys in this league are a bigger idiot than me. I mean, someone took Jamal Lewis in the FIRST round, for christsakes. But, OK, we'll keep Flacco and Cutler out of it. Any other ideas for a trade? I need RB help <i>badly</i>. About as bad as I need a cock.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I would offer Forte and Boldin for Benson and see what happens.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I would rather have Forte and Boldin.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
You do realize that Benson is the NFL's leading rusher right? In my PPR league Boldin has 61 points and Forte has 57. Combined they have 2 TD's. Benson has scored 97 points and has 5 TD's.
Not to mention that Boldin has a high ankle sprain and won't be fully healthy for a few more weeks.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yes. I believe it's called selling high (Benson) and buying low (Boldin and Forte). Going forward, I expect Forte and Benson to have near equivalent value. Thus, Boldin is the bonus.
