Been offered R.Cobb and Greg Olsen for Julius Thomas and Brandon Oliver

I need a WR and have Bennett to pair with Olsen at TE, also have Foster, Lev Bell, Vereen, Oliver and Jennings at RB.

Oliver doesnt worry me, Matthews will be back soon and he'll be back to cannon fodder... so it's essentially J.Thomas for Cobb and Olsen. My gut feel is that J.Thomas isnt going to catch 25+ TD as he's on pace to do now, so his production will dip and maybe now is a good time to sell high?

thoughts?

With those RB's I'd try to give Vereen or Jennings and keep Oliver as my #3/4, he's shown his upside is huge, he should have that job based on performance but could get it anyway, Mathews is not known for staying healthy.

Vereen hasn't looked great this year and Jennings could be walking back in to a shitstorm of an offense if last week is anything to go by.

 

[nick87]

I tried to offer Jennings, but no dice. Want to keep Vereen, i reckon he'll put up some points no Ridley is out of the picture, but that RB spot is much of muchness, i dont really care who he takes of that spot

my WRs are Dez, Cruz (recently cut), Crabtree, Steve Smith and Kelvin Benjamin

But you reckon Cobb and Olsen are worth losing Thomas for?

 

[Tom155]

stick with Thomas imo

stick with Thomas imo

Yep, I don't even know why you're looking at trading for a WR when you already have 3 top 15-20 guys on your roster and Crabtree as your #4 haha.

 

[abpanther]

Yeah I would keep Thomas, he's far and away the #1 TE

Yep, I don't even know why you're looking at trading for a WR when you already have 3 top 15-20 guys on your roster and Crabtree as your #4 haha.

Its a buddy league, me and 7 other good mates and half the fun in that is trading. I've already done about 7-8 trades in that thing :lol:
But i am somewhat concerned about my WRs, Dez is not having the year i thought, and relying on Smith, Crabtree and Benjamin, even if so far 2 of those guys have been good, strikes me as a little dicey.

It's an 8 team league so EVERYONE is stacked.

I think ill probably not do the deal.

 

[nick87]

Knocked the deal back, he countered with Cobb and Megatron for Dez Bryant and Oliver.
Accepted :lol:

 

[gronkathon]

Had a really decent fantasy week

 

[gronkathon]

Jeremy Hill & Jeremy Maclin might just save me from a Phil Rivers -2.8 score

 

[legend]

Ben Roethlisberger for Matt Forte or Rob Gronkowski straight up? Thoughts as Big Ben is on the rise.

 

[abpanther]

I'd be all over that deal as the Ben owner

 

[zombie jesus]

You're dreaming, legend.

 

[legend]

Based on what? Ben has more fantasy points than Gronk by a fair margin and isn't that far behind Forte (24 points). If Ben isn't traded I'll consider swapping him for Manning as my starting QB.

 

[legend]

You're going to struggle to get to the playoffs with Cam Newton as your QB mate. You know it and I know it. Make me an offer...

 

[zombie jesus]

I'll be right. Your idea of value is ways apart from mine.

 

[legend]

What were you thinking? I look at value in terms of fantasy points scored and need by position. Your number one QB is out 6-8 weeks, your number two QB is not a fantasy stud by any stretch. I'm happy to listen to offers but outside of Gronk and Forte, it would have to be a two for one deal considering how well Ben is playing at the moment.

 

[zombie jesus]

I'm already the second lowest scoring at QB across the league but the top scorer overall, shows what a QB is really worth relative to other QBs. If you think Ben can maintain 40+ points a week you're a bigger Steelers homer than I am.

 

[legend]

I didn't say he could maintain that but his scoring has him in the top ten and rising and he will finish well ahead of Newton. Could be the difference mate.

What do I have to do to put you and Ben in the high rollers fantasy league today?

 

[abpanther]

Okay in a PPR league, would you guys view Decker as an upgrade over Roddy the rest of the way?

Decker scored 21 this week and had 12 targets this week and 11 last week, while Harvin will take some away I think he's still the redzone target, plus having Vick starting helps him.

Roddy has a nice schedule but has been pretty inconsistent

Thanks
