To sign them is my real test

With full no movement clause
Charles Johnson is a JAG who looked good last year because the Vikings had literally nobody on the outside so someone had to catch what little passes they let Teddy throw, and unless you were in a return yards PPR league, Patterson was a TD-dependent boom/bust WR3 who had 6 of his 9 scores in the first 5 weeks. Meanwhile, Diggs is a good route runner with good ball skills. If you had come to me each of the last three years when they were each getting their first shot at a role, and asked me who is the most likely to have long term success, I'd say Diggs hands down. Diggs was also probably the most hyped prospect of the three relative to draft position. Diggs was a 5th round pick pretty generally well regarded as a potential sleeper, while Johnson was a nobody, and it was pretty well documented that Patterson was a "project" (see: Williamson, Troy aka Bust)

The only person who wants OBJ wants to trade McCoy for him. Honestly I'd probably take that right now, but considering he's on bye and if I go 1-7 I'm even more done than I already am, I don't think it's worth it. I hate trade averse leagues where people either insta-reject everything or just leave it open for the rest of the season.

.5 PRR, guy is looking to trade a WR for an RB


My team:
QB: Rivers
WR: Thomas
WR: Landry
WR: James Jones
RB: Peterson
RB: Ingram
TE: Green
FLEX: Yeldon
BN: Marvin Jones, Stevie Johnson, Matthews, Gilmore, Fitzpatrick


His:
QB: Palmer
WR: Allen
WR: Cobb
WB: Bryant
RB: Gurley
RB: Gore
TE: Eifert
FLEX: Bernard/A. Robinson/Woodhead
BN: Ginn, Ebron, Taylor


Of my three RBs, I'm thinking that Ingram is the one I should move? I would probably want to get back Gio in any deal. Any thoughts on what would be a good trade?

e:
GIVE: Ingram, J. Jones
GET: Allen, Gio

I know this isn't collusion but hope I am not alone in thinking this is a pretty bad trade.

Team A gives:
AJ Green
Emmanuel Sanders

Team B gives:
Amari Cooper
LeGarrette Blount
Brandon LaFell
Ameer Abdullah

Team A has been struggling a lot this season so I see why he wants to mix it up. But I am not sure trading away his two best players for Cooper + a bunch of question marks is the right way to go. I am just bitter because now Team B has a WR corps of Julio Jones, ODB, AJ Green, and Emmanuel Sanders.

I don't like this trade at all. You don't have the RB depth to lose Ingram and you are giving up another starter in James Jones to get an upgrade at WR. I think this is lateral at best.

I'm also 2-5 and I don't give a poo poo about depth, I'm just trying to set up the best starting roster ROS and ride it out. But it does seem kinda lateral to me. I'm just not as high on Ingram as I am on Peterson and Yeldon, so I'm thinking I might be better off trading him for a WR upgrade?

Team A just thinks getting on the Pats train for the rest of the season is the best play. Is he right? Probably not but I can see why he feels uneasy with those two WRs.

Personally, of those three RB's I would take Ingram ROS, althought it is close with AP. Honestly, looking at your lineup, it seems like you have a solid team and may just be the team with bad luck/matchups each week. I don't think losing your top RB for a WR that has only scored 5 more points on the year is going to shake up your team.

In the end, I am not a big fan of the 1:1 trades because they are usually very small variance moves, unless you are trading a current bench player for someone who would start.

Reggie Bush may have value in PPR leagues if Hyde were out simply because he would likely get some early down carries in addition to all the passing down work, since Mike Davis and Hayne are so raw. Emphasis on "may."

Keenan Allen is a big upgrade on James Jones imo. Depending how you feel about Hill and Gio, Ingram to Gio is arguably worth getting Keenan.

That's kinda how I felt at first. IMO Allen is the only stud of the 4 players being traded. I know Ingram is like RB #2 right now, but it all just feels a bit paper tigery to me atm. I feel like between Yeldon/Gio/M. Jones/Stevie, I can cobble together a RB2/Flex that's more than servicable when my QB/RB1/WRs are Rivers/Peterson/Thomas/Allen/Landry. I don't know I'm torn on it, both you and MrSargent make cogent points.

You should start the Thursday player in a RB or WR spot rather than the flex, just on the off chance that if one of your Sunday players gets hurt on Friday, gets an illness, the team bus crashes etc. you have more flexibility to replace him with a WR OR an RB rather than just one or the other.

It's not about the player though - you should never flex anyone on a Thursday night. If Amendola is going to be in your lineup, then it makes more sense to start him as a WR so you have more flexibility on Sunday.

Let's break it down based on 0.5PPR.

Keenan Allen - 116PTS, 16.6AVG
Gio Bernard - 75.6PTS, 12.6 AVG
TOTAL AVG = 29.2PPG


Mark Ingram - 111PTS, 15.9AVG
James Jones - 88.9PTS, 14.8AVG
TOTAL AVG = 30.7PPG

It's pretty close, slightly in Ingram/Jones favor. Obviously this depends on how you feel about them keeping up this production but my main point is that its so close that it isn't "shaking things up" for a team at 2-5.

To be fair, I've already "shaken things up" I was 1-5 with Brady, Moncreif, West, and Cooks on that roster in place of Ingram, Landry, and Thomas (traded Brady+Cooks for Ingram+Landry and West+Moncreif for Thomas) so it's not like I've just been hit with bad luck and need to ride out my guys, I'm actively trying to re-vamp a 1-5 team to try to make a playoff push. The real argument here I guess is if I've successfully done that or if there's still room for improvement? I think that I need a better WR3, personally. I'm just wondering if the downgrade from Ingram to Gio ROS is worth the upgrade from Jones to Allen. My gut says yes, but the numbers say no.

I think you have done a great job revamping the team thus far. I would either stand pat, or trade higher on Ingram. You shouldn't need to send Ingram + another starter for a WR1. I would be looking for a WR1 straight up at this point (Allen may be too expensive since he is a ppr machine).

Well, then the argument there is, if I trade Ingram straight up for a WR1, and I can't get Allen, why shouldn't I try to make that trade? if I move Ingram, I'm moving Yeldon to my RB2; and if I don't get a RB back, I'm moving Jones to my flex. Is Jones a better flex play ROS than a Gio/M. Jones/Stevie platoon? What's really the difference? If I can't get Allen, maybe I could get someone like SSS or Marshall or Calvin Johnson etc. Would you rather have:

WR: Thomas
WR: Landry
WR: Allen
RB: Peterson
RB: Yeldon
FLEX: Gio/M. Jones/S. Johnson

or

WR: Thomas
WR: Landry
WR: Marshall/Johnson
RB: Peterson
RB: Yeldon
FLEX: James Jones


because to me, just on the surface, I'd rather have the former than the latter



e: Actually, I have to keep in mind that if I traded for Allen, I would have Rivers, Allen, Johnson, and Green with the Chargers bye still to happen. I have FitzMagic and Gilmore to cover QB and TE, but I think I'm going to need Jones for WR3 that week, so I should probably hang on to him and start Marvin Jones in my flex.

Ok, here's a different trade, same team:


GIVE: James Jones, Marvin Jones
GET: Diggs, Andre Johnson

It basically comes down to who is the consensus best WR ROS between JJ and Diggs. This new guy I'm trading with has some shoddy depth (Andre Johnson, Kamar Aiken, Reuben Randle, Nate Washington) so I'm not entirely convinced that MJ doesn't step in and immediately become his WR4 but he's never really going to start for me and AJ80 would pretty much immediately be waiver fodder. I know he won't do Jones for Diggs straight up, so I'm thinking maybe the depth upgrade might get the deal done?

My preference would be to hold onto Ingram and try to trade Yeldon instead, packaging him with a WR to upgrade your WR. There have to be some serious RB needy teams where Yeldon would be a help, especially with Yeldon looking better each of the last 3 games. I just have to think that you would have to pay too much for Allen, and can get some value out of your RBs other than Ingram.

Leperflesh

I'd start Hillman over Bush, even vs. the packers. Bush is worn out and busted and he is going to split carries with the backups, and also SF can't keep its offense on the field.

Normally, Hyde and Boldin are the only somewhat startable 49ers offense players.

You all do know that Reggie Bush has played in four games this season, finished two, and managed all this on twelve touches?

Do not pick up Reggie Bush unless you want to get mad when he limps off the field after three carries and a target at his foot.


Edit: though he is coming off 34 yards on three catches and four carries last week!
