Would you trade Brandon Marshall for Arian Foster

[SFNL]

Or vice versa?

 

[Sam Sportboy]

I own Foster and Tate and I am considering offering that exact trade..................I keep Tate and maybe he gets traded next year. Keeper league.

 

[SFNL]

I have Marshall & am looking for another RB

My receiving corp is pretty full (AJ Green, Stevie Johnson, Heath, Eddie Royal, Hartline) so I think I can afford to give up Marshall to get Foster as a #2 RB to Jamaal Charles.

Wondering about Foster's productivity for the rest of the year.

 

[SmokingMonkey]

I would rather have marshall. Foster is stuck in more of a RBBC than in previous seasons, and as things look right now, Tate is the better RB, while Foster gets a lot of the short yardage/GL work.

If I was losing Marshall, I'd want something better, definitely if PPR

I picked Foster 15th overall in one league I'm in, and I'm seriously regretting not taking Marshall (who I had planned on taking to pair with Calvin...but Foster "fell" to me in the 2nd).

The only thing going for the Foster is the schedule after their bye... and that's never a sure thing by itself, let alone the Tate factor.

If not for A.P. last year, I think people would have felt more at ease dropping Foster way down in their preseason rankings.... at least I know it played a part for me (I actually picked A.P. 19th overall last year).

So, in short (too late), I would rather have Marshall as well. I agree it will have to be him for a good RB2, ... but have you tried the RB2 you want to be replaced and Stevie or Royal or Hartline for someone? ... by the way, who is your RB2?

I read that the Texans are planning to run more but who knows if they will or not. I would rather have Marshall because he is a sure bet to get you good points and Foster is still a question mark.

 

[SFNL]

I only get points for a reciever if they catch 7 passes (3pts) 100 yds (3) or a td (4)

rushing 20 carries (3) 100 yds (3) td rush (6)

Last week Marshall got me 0

 

[HizzleRocker]

Whoever gets Marshall won that one - Not even close, imo.

Marshall will have over 100 catches this year and be on the field almost every offensive down. Foster has a 50% chance of making it through the year. Even if he does he is splitting carries. Marshall is outplaying him right now and should continue to do so.

 

[SFNL]

1 pt bonus for every additional 3 catches, 5 rushes & 25 yds rec or rush

 

[The Foot]

You cant believe what these coaches EVER. I learned that a long time ago. Look at Spiller the coach said he would run Spiller till he threw up yet Fred still gets about 50 percent of the carries. Thats why i like Lamar Miller going forward cause the coaches are over empisizing that there will be an even split int carries going forward. Watch what happens, lol.

 

[SFNL]

I extended the offer. Marshall for either Foster or Demarco Murray.

Why? Don't do this!!!

rushing 20 carries (3) 100 yds (3) td rush (6)

Last week Marshall got me 0

but Marshall will get you points the most out of Stevie and Hartline and them! You know how many 0's you'll get when you take out Marshall? This scoring system is even more in favor of keeping Marshall.

 

[TKOSpikes]

by the way, who is your RB2?

...still waiting.

 

[SFNL]

My RB2 has been Ahmad Bradshaw or Montee Ball. Now its LeVeon Bell.

The guy didn't take the offer BTW. Maybe I wait and see how Bell does this week?

 

[SFNL]

My lineup this week will look like this

Dalton
J. Charles
L. Bell
AJ Green
B. Marshall
S. Johnson
Royal or Hartline or Heath
Bryant ATL
Cin D

 

[TKOSpikes]

I'd take whatever RB you can get from Bell and Stevie. It may not be much, but trading Marshall is a huge mistake, IMO.

 

[SFNL]

Im going to stay put for this week. On paper it appears like i have an easy win coming. Injuries & lots of byes should shake things up next week again.

 

[BrockForBroglio]

IMO, you should be able to get more than Foster for Marshall....Houston is such a fickle team with their play calling and personnel used. Reach a little higher.

 

[SFNL]

With a lack of solid #2 running backs out there, people in my league almost never trade away their #1rb for a different position.
