My RB corps is pretty terrible, but have a possible trade deal to get Lynch on the table:

I give: Mike Evans, One of CJA/Stew/Yeldon/MJones/Spiller
I get: Marshawn Lynch

I'm a bit worried about Lynch's health and the Seahawks O-Line this year, but feel like I need to take a swing at a possible RB1 to round out my team.

Here's my roster (12 team, .5 PPR):

QB: Big Ben, Dalton
RB: CJA, Stewart, Yeldon, Spiller, Matt Jones, CMike
WR: Cobb, Evans, ARob, Martavis Bryant, Stevie Johnson
TE: Olsen, Richard Rodgers
D: Broncos

I am high on Martavis and would feel decent about rolling with Cobb, ARob and him as my WR1/WR2/Flex if it meant getting an RB with a ceiling over 10 points. Thoughts?

Reposted since it got missed.

Give: Evans, CJA (or any other of my RBs)
Get: Lynch

Should I do this? Do we expect Lynch to bounce back?

I'd stand pat. Lynch is a question mark right now. If you're going to give away pieces to upgrade RB, do it for one a little more sure than Lynch.

I mean, you MIGHT be able to get AB for Gurley and Brady if the owner is worried about his production with Vick but even that's a bit of a stretch.

Don't get me wrong, Gurley is Really Good but that trade won't even get a counter proposal.

Tough to say, Hopkins has twice as many targets as Benjamin, and Benjamin scored about half his points in week 2 off of 3 catches. With that said, it looks like Cleveland is making an effort to feed him the ball (10 targets in each of the last two games.) The problem is both receivers are the only good receiver on their team and have a crappy quarterback throwing the ball. The difference is Houston theoretically has a good run game to take pressure off of Hopkins. That and Hopkins is much more talented. 10 times out of 10 I'd rather have Hopkins of course but I might be considering that trade if I needed RB help. Ingram has been a rock solid RB2 so far.
Thanks for the insight. I countered with Allen Robinson + Ingram for Hopkins. Another WR1 on a crappy offense, but I'm more confident in Robinson than Benjamin.

Blount is on the wire. I have first priority. 4 man bench in a 14 teamer, 0ppr. I have Forte, Jhill, and Lamar. Normally I'd jump on something like that but the extremely short benches make me hesitate to play Pats RB roulette. Should I pick him up anyway?

Not sure who Davies is but unless LB waivers are bare as hell I would roll with Bradford and drop Davies or Barr for the best replacement option. Next best option is to roll with Carr and pick up the best replacement option. Worst option is to take a zero...

Oops, I meant Thomas Davis. I don't want to drop Barr or Davis because they consistently get tackles and sacks (rank 11 and 2, respectively). I don't think Kuechly coming back will significantly affect Davis' numbers. Every down LBs are the most important IDPs, imo. I think I'll drop Bradford if I can find a suitable DE. #BelieveInCarr

My matchup will be played out before SNF this week, so I'm thinking about rolling w/ no D through the late games, and then picking up either NYG (though someone will likely pick them up tonight to stream), SD, PIT or SF (SNF/MNF teams) if I'm behind at that point. Is that crazy? I'd lose out on the opportunity to get one of the better D's currently available (Cincinnati and NYG are the best, then it's pretty barren), but that would keep Carolina (or whoever else I'd drop) locked until waivers clear next week.

I'm in the exact same position and I think I"m going to do the same thing. I'll grab the Steelers D if it will impact the outcome of the matchup (Chargers and 49ers are also available, so I'm not worried about my opponent grabbing them all. I probably wouldn't try this if there was only one D available)

e: Also, make sure the Panthers are on your bench and don't get locked into your D/ST slot. Not sure when bye teams lock.

Stevie or Harvin. If I pick up Blount I could throw him in my flex and drop Harvin or Stevie. Is Blount worth the #1 waiver though? It's move to last after claim so I won't get one this high for a while. I usually like to save high waivers for emergencies.

e: my WRs: Decker, Evans, Moncrief, Stevie, Harvin

That's a tricky one. Blount should absolutely be claimed, but I'm not sure in your situation it's necessarily the best use of the #1 priority. He's a lot more valuable than Harvin though.

Are people open to trading in your league? You could claim him and then trying moving a RB for a WR.

Oh yeah, they love to trade. I actually acquired Decker because someone wanted Golden Tate so he could start 2 healthy receivers when Decker was out. I think I'll do that. Thanks!

I'm starting Blount this week because I think I can take the hit if he lays an egg, upside crazy though in garbage time.

My big question mark is Luck, I haven't dropped Bort (@TB) yet, who filled in admirably last week, other FA QB options for this week:
McCown @ BAL
Weeden vs NE
Cousins @ ATL

I thinking about rolling with Bort even if Luck plays...

After thinking about it, I like the Patriots D/ST coming off a bye, at home, with Dallas missing both Romo and Dez over the Giants at home vs. the 49ers.

The 49ers are garbage this year but I have a feeling they're gonna be playing with a chip on their shoulders after the last two weeks of crap football

Dalton, Bortles, or Smith?

Currently with Dalton, will probably drop Matt Jones or Marvin Jones for the QB.

A guy in this league is trying really hard to get a running back from me. He offered me Cooper for Ivory, straight up, but with my RB situation I had to decline (also it's not PPR).

Basically my WRs are Julio, Hilton, Garcon, and Dez. My RBs are Gordon(ugh), Ivory, Karlos Williams, and CJ2K.

I turned down the Ivory offer, but then he offered up either Allen Robinson or Alshon Jeffery for CJ.

Is that worth it, given my roster, or should I maybe hold out for a little while and see if I could do better?

Landry is extremely valuable in Full PPR, the dolphins may be a shitshow, but Landry's floor is still pretty good and has upside too. Ivory could be in for his breakout year, but due to his running style, it leaves him banged up a lot as we've seen in recent years.

I'd consider taking it since you have decent depth at RB. Is it 2xWR, 2xRB, flex?

Bonus points if the league has return yards.

I don't think selling Eddie Lacy for Hillman and Moncrief is going to turn around an 0-4 team. It's going to cause you to keep losing. Alshon will hopefully be back this week and your team doesn't look that bad once he is. Just gotta hope Evans can start producing.

Hopefully it works out well for both of us, I'd rate Murray better than Gordon on a better team, but it certainly hasn't been that way so far. I needed RB help and he needed WR help. I still have D Thomas and B Marshall for WR, but literally no depth at RB and Gordon wasn't doing poo poo so far and isn't proven.
