Trade offered

[ColinCoby]

Background: 12 team, non PPR. My team is rolling (1st place)


Got offered Golden Tate and Andre Johnson for Ryan Matthews and Bishop Sankey.


Obviously the other owner is desperate for RB help and is willing to gamble on Matthews.

I am already very strong at WR (D. Thomas, Cobb, Sanders). Not sure if the trade helps me much.



My counter might be: Sankey or Matthews plus KC defense for Tate and Houston D (Houston plays Jax week 14)


Thoughts?

who else r ur rbs

Yep that's my Q as well.

But my initial reaction is no. With the WR's you have there's no reason to gut your RB depth

 

[TKOSpikes]

That trade does nothing for you...unless you're planning on flipping a WR for an upgrade elsewhere. On the other hand, giving up Mathews and Sankey should not effect you and you'll probably get a better back if you can make the flip.

Who are your two starting RB?

 

[ColinCoby]

RBs: Murray, Vereen, Hillman, Ingram


(Matthews, Sankey)

Meh.. offer him Mathews or Sankey for his best or second best WR.. but I wouldn't go more than that. You can afford to trade those RB's, but I sure wouldn'tfeel the need to do a "fair" deal.. he's the one in need, not you, make him pay for it

 

[SteelersPride]

yeah theres really nothing there for you........

Exactly. Plus, why help another owner out? Could come back to bite me in the ass.


Thanks for the advice.

Not hard to see why you're rolling..................jeez. I guess you don't need to to that deal as you might want to keep that RB depth the way they seem to be dropping like flies. I'd be tempted but no, Iwouldn't do it. Tate was good with Megatron but when he comes back Tate won't be throwing up these numbers.

 

[ColinCoby]

His top WR is Marshall. Not sure if he'd accept this but:


Matthews/Sankey/KC Def for Marshall/Houston D/Bryce Brown

Good point. And yes, I've caught some breaks this year. (and grabbed Rivers late in the draft…so far, so good)

Of course, in my other league I had AP so I...

Seems a bit excessive. . But that's what you're looking for.

Would you do Sankey/KC D for Tate/Houston?

 

[TREFF]

Would you do Sankey/KC D for Tate/Houston?

As a Sankey owner yes. . As a Tate owner I'd have to be extremble desperate

 

[ColinCoby]

He seems to really want Matthews. Should I switch Sankey out and put Matthews in there?

(his other RBs are McKinnon, Tate, and a bunch of injured guys…ugh. I think he had AP)

 

[TREFF]

If you really want the Texans.. go for them and forget Tate. . Take his end of the bench WR and the texans for Sankey and KC.

Sure you can afford to deal Mathews, but why? Don't need Tate, so take him out of the equation and the price tag on the Texans becomes much lower, allowing you to address you only weakness fairly cheaply

 

[HizzleRocker]

Haven't read the posts because I don't need to. Why would you trade those to guys... For your #4 and #5 RB's who will never see your starting lineup?

NO!

 

[ColinCoby]

Offered Sankey for Houston Defense. Rejected.


Would you give up Vereen for Houston Defense? I know, too much value for a stinkin' defense, but I don't need the unpredictable Vereen and I could really use a good defense facing Jax in the 1st week of the playoffs.

 

[romeo212000]

I might. Looks like Gray might be taking over in the New England backfield.

Vereen is going to have some big games ROS. Predicting when they will happen is freaking impossible.

I got a great team (at the moment at least). Trying to give myself the best chance in that game. Of course, that game is a long ways off. I would miss Vereen for sure if, say, Murray went down.
