FF who to start...
<!--quoteo(post=67318:date=Oct 26 2009, 11:37 PM:name=biggz)-->QUOTE (biggz @ Oct 26 2009, 11:37 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}><!--quotec-->OK, I've decided I need to make a trade. 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.

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.

What are you basing this on? I'm in 5 leagues, and in all but one Flacco has barely outscored Cutler. In that last one, it's a total difference of less than 20 points. They are essentially the same. Flacco is marginally better, but why would he be MAYBE worth Cutler and a good receiver?
I wish that I believed in Fate. I wish I didn't sleep so late. I used to be carried in the arms of cheerleaders.

Speaking of Flacco, next week I have Brady on a bye week and Flacco is my backup QB. I'm not real thrilled with him going against Denver, and Garrard is on the waiver wire, and he's going against the rotten Tennessee pass defense. So... Flacco vs. Denver or Garrard vs. Tennessee?

Garrard fo' sho'

I would stick with Flacco. You never know what you are going to get out of Garrard. You could get a good game or you could get a completely shitty game. Plus, you have to think that they are going to feed the ball to MJD and not pass that much.

I don't dislike the guy or anything, he's just a bad fantasy play like every week this year except the one week.

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.

I know what you are saying. Im 4-3 in a league where I should be dominating. I kept pluggin him in expecting the breakout game from my #1 pick. He's on the bench for me now for the near future.

I just proposed a trade where I would give up Michael Turner and Jeremy Maclin for Steve Slaton. What do you guys think about this? Fair for both sides or lopsided? Should I actually go through with the trade?
