 2013 trade questions
12-team league. 0.5 PPR. Being offered Spiller for DeMarco Murray/Golden Tate.
Hesitation: I'm getting a bit skinny on depth with Vareen going on IR (big-time bummer). I missed out on Edelman on Waivers due to waiver priority. Spiller had a rough outing, has what looks to be a brutal schedule and Fred Jackson clawing at a bigger role. Of course, Spiller should be a top-5 fantasy RB (particularly in PPR), which means a likely upgrade on Murray. And Tate isn't anything special (especially when Harvin returns) and easily replaceable by Gordon and/or Richardson as a flex play.
Thoughts?
Roster:
QB: Cam Newton RB: Doug Martin RB: DeMarco Murray WR: Demaryius Thomas WR: Pierre Garcon FLEX: WR Golden Tate TE: Jimmy Graham Def: Cowboys K: Janikowski
Bench: RB Daryl Richardson RB Knowshon Moreno WR Josh Gordon (suspended one more game) QB Michael Vick IR: Shane Vareen (out until week 11)

 Re: 2013 trade questions
I'm 5-0. Vick down. I have no backup on my roster. I'm trying to acquire Cutler on waivers (dropping Woods), but am last in waiver priority with some guys on bye I may not get him. Do I dare trade Murray (or Martin) for Rivers?
Roster:
QB: Vick* (inj) RB: Doug Martin RB: Reggie Bush WR: A.J. Green WR: Pierre Garcon FLEX: Antonio Brown TE: Jimmy Graham Def: Texans K: Greg Zuerlein
Bench: DeMarco Murray Cecil Shorts Greg Jennings Bernard Pierce Jordan Cameron Joique Bell Roy Helu Robert Woods Percy Harvin

 Re: 2013 trade questions
Hmm...well never mind. I just traded Shorts for Kaepernick.

 Re: 2013 trade questions
Another trade has caught my attention. I think I gotta do it. Request your thoughts!
Give: Knowshon Moreno Get: Dez Bryant
QB: Vick (inj), Cam Newton RB: Doug Martin (sucking) RB: Moreno WR: Demarius Thomas WR: Eric Decker TE: Jimmy Graham (please don't be hurt) K: Blah Def: 49ers
Bench: C.J. Spiller Eddie Lacy Josh Gordon Vereen (inj)
My only hesitation is Moreno is KILLING it and Martin is SUUUUUUCKING. Moreno is essentially my best RB, and it's not close. My strength should theoretically BE my WRs and I'm looking to acquire another at the expense of my best running back (even though I, theoretically, should be solid at RB).
But, you gotta do it, right? I mean, RIGHT?

Do it, and see if you can grab Brown from the Giants off waivers for Vereen. He will be out a bit yet, but he will be the starter, and he put up nice numbers last year in limited play, 8 TDs. Personally there isn't too many WRs I would trade a starting RB for, except Dez, AJ, and Calvin.

Personally there isn't too many WRs I would trade a starting RB for, except Dez, AJ, and Calvin. I made the trade. The way I justified it was that Dez has an absolute cake schedule as far as matchups go. Plus, with Murray hurting, they may choose to air it out more. That's an interesting idea re: Brown. I'm not going to pull the trigger on it...yet. A lot will depend on Wilson's injury/how long he's out and how Jacobs does in the meantime. Vereen was going to be an absolute stud for me (particularly in PPR), and with so much uncertainty with the Pats' receivers (and RBs) I'm going to hang tight. I have ample RB depth to sustain the Moreno hit, particularly if Martin/Spiller get healthy/out of their funk.

 Re: 2013 trade questions
Notice I grabbed brown in the VMB league, but it might be too late, I think I get everyone on their best week.

 Re: 2013 trade questions
So with Martin done for the year, what's your strategy now? Jackson is clearly outperforming Spiller, it's only a matter of time before the Bills give him the load. He's good at catching the football too which is big in PPR. Another guy to keep an eye on is Andre Ellington, he doesn't touch the ball much but averages over 6 yards per carry and is another guy who catches the football really well out of the backfield. Both are obviously long shots but I'd imagine the waiver wire is thin by now.

Both are obviously long shots but I'd imagine the waiver wire is thin by now. I'm ####? In my money league I'm 5-1 (could be 6-1 if Walsh scores less than 12 tonight). My RBs are: Martin (inj), Bush, Murray (inj), Pierce, Joique Bell, Helu. I'll probably add Martin's backup (Mike James), but I'm keeping my eye on Chris Ivory, Jonathan Stewart and even Khiry Robinson. It's not a great situation and I might have to try and swing for a trade. I'm hoping to score Alfred Morris for Jorden Cameron and Greg Jennings. But I'm only going to do this if I can secure Jordan Reed, as Graham's injury is still in flux. I may also have to try and field another trade somewhere. My WRs are: Green, Garcon, Antonio Brown, Jennings and Harvin, so I should be able to deal one or two of them. In my other league, if it was the beginning of the season and you looked at my roster, there's no way I shouldn't be undefeated. Right now I'm 3-3 (about to go 4-3). RBs are: Martin (inj), Lacy, Spiller (inj) and Vereen (inj). Once again, I'll likely be looking to add Mike James. Unfortunately with such skinny benches, this is going to be rough. I'm probably going to be forced to drop TE-fill-in Heath Miller for James and prey Graham is full-go. And I know I shouldn't have done it, but I traded Moreno for Bryant, which royally screws me right now. But once again, I have ammo with my receivers (Decker, Bryant, Demarius Thomas, Josh Gordon, Garcon), so I'm going to see if I can find someone with a rough WR situation. Maybe I can wrangle Bernard. I'll keep an eye on Ellington too.

 Re: 2013 trade questions
I think I might pickup Ivory and Harvin this week if I can. Looks like Harvin might play as soon as next game, and I think Ryan is going to give Ivory the carries after that performance.

Grab Brown from big blue, he will be starting after the bye I bet. You want no part of the J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets running game.
