Hi guys, sorry to create a thread on this, didn't know where else to put this.

I've been talking trade with this guy all day, and who do you think wins this trade? I won't say yet which one is mine.

Trent Richardson, Julio Jones and Shane Vereen for Arian Foster, Lamar Miller and Dwayne Bowe.

Shane Vereen is hurt, and was put on the IR. He will be out at least 2 months. Because of that, I'd go with Foster, otherwise, I'd go the other way.

Whoever got Richardson and Julio. Two superstuds, gotta take quality over quantity. Also depends on the rest of your team, I guess.

I just picked Moreno up off waivers today. Honestly, that is the only spot I really want to improve. I could always start Givens or Britt there instead I guess.

ummm it's not just a no from me, but a "HELL FUCKING NO."

You have Julio and Richardson - 2 young studs that are going to get the ball and surefire high picks. Julio is going to get even more targets with roddy white injured.

I intentionally stayed away from Foster - I was drafting 5th in one league,and still passed on him for Spiller. Why? Because I don't like his huge workload history (350 or so carries last year I think, and he's been at the 300+ number for a couple years straight..there is a strong correlation with a lot of carries and injuries and/or effectiveness), he's injured as it is, and he's splitting carries with Ben Taint - that was known going into the season. Splitting as many as did with Taint, double hell no.

Work that waiver wire dude and look for receivers. Keep your 2 running backs as starters and use a WR for that flex spot. Based on your roster, I'd do givens.. there are some other receivers that i'd look for if I were you, like Julian Edelman, Josh Gordon, Denarius moore, etc.

Thanks man, ya Foster's split duties were scaring me off. Those three wide outs are already on other teams, but I'll keep looking. Hankerson? Lol

in fact, do me a favor and go search for available players from the flex (wr/rb) position and take a screenshot. if you don't know how, go to the search screen, get as many players on the list visible as possible, press print screen, go to paint, press ctrl + v (or right click/ paste), save it as a jpeg, and upload it in your next message.

does your flex allow te's?

J. Bell looked pretty good last week for the Dolphins, he might be a great grab, because Bush ALWAYS gets hurt. He's available in my league.

U mean Lions of course. Keep Julio and Trent. Foster is just like Spiller, destined to split carries with another decent back (Ben Taint/Fred Jackson)

Hopefully this works, and no TE's in the flex spot. As for Bell, I tried to get him off waivers today but was beaten to the punch.

Hmm, not working, although I'm on a tablet.

Brown
Kearse

Julio was on injury report today and didnt practice with knee injury

I saw that. Wonder how bad it is.

Just offered Chris Johnson, Austin and Joquie Bell for Julio, Vereen and Ivory. Very tempting.
