Yep, Don't rate Ingram at all (and I'm a saints fan)

I'd rank them

1) Holmes (primary receiver in a half decent team. Not great this year but I expect him to improve)
2) Battle (primary rusher but he looks poor enough when I see him)
3) Ingram (Now down to 3rd RB in NO? Sproles No 1 and Pierre Thomas is coming back into the line more each week)

The question really is whether Battle will be your no 2 RB more than you'll play Holmes at WR. it close enough

I'd be more inclined to let Ingram go rather than Battle to be honest.

I'll put the lot of them on the trading block anyway and see what comes back.

edit - the other owner has come back and said he'll accept Ingram.

To be clear, of the 3, INgram is the player I'd like least

1st offer in - Lance Moore for Jacobs from a Bradshaw owner.

And I've also got an offer in my other league (the TE debacle one) - I get Mathews and give up Maclin.

Dodge · 04-11-2011 04:34PM

That's some league you're in ashdale. I'm in 4 and have been offered one trade all season.

Good work

Idiocy. Some people don't know how to propose trades at all and think as long as it's mathetmatically fair - i.e. 1 for 1, or even 3 for 2, that you'll automatically accept.

The Prem is generally alright for non idiotic trades. There is some questionable ones every now and again but for the most part the are outside the complete an utter moron box.

Have to agree with you though some of the leagues im in I get the weirdest retarded trade offers ever. If they offered them in the paid leagues im in they would be turfed next season for being so silly

I dont get why fantasy is such rocket science to some. Even as a newbie to it you should be up on it after the first month of it.

Dohnny Jepp · 05-11-2011 02:48AM

I've offer like a trade a day, every day to people, but people seem to fall in love with their players and don't switch even if it benefits their team xD

ashdale5 · 09-11-2011 02:42PM

I'm baaack

For once I've been offered a trade - Cedric Benson for Roddy White

Current roster flex league

QB Romo, Eli

RB MJD, Wells, Felix Jones, Ogbonnaya

WR White, Bowe, Manningham (thanks to advice from here), Burress, DHB, Robinson (DAL)

TE Henandez

With Well's injury I'm really struggling for RB's but White seems a lot to give up.

Before you say yes or no wait until after todays Practices as Jones is making good progress and they will know tonight our time if he has any chance of making Sundays game.

Even if he plays I'd still be worried about Jones production with Murray playing well in Dallas.

The other owner also has McGahee, Mendenhall and Greene so maybe I could try and get McGahee instead?

Dodge · 09-11-2011 03:09PM

Plus the fact Felix Jones is rubbish. I loved Roddy White. Own him in as many leagues as I could get my hands on him. Bit of a disappointment tbh, and with Julio Jones approaching full fitness again, I'd trade him for Benson (who I don't really rate but I can't argue with his production)

I'd do this tbh, ask for McGahee or Mendenhall (in that order).

He was gaining 4 yards per carry before his injury. In fact he was actually starting to look good before he got injured. Even with Murray he will share carries and Jones is very effective out of the backfield on passing plays which could add a few extra points.

Benson is good against the poorer teams but his next 2 games are the Steelers and Ravens. In fact they have the Steelers twice in their next 4 games. With Dalton favouring the Pass with Green and Simpson on fire Benson might not be the big earner over the next few games. Benson has only got 2 games over 100 yards this season.

With the Falcons playing the saints titans Vikings and Carolina in their next 4 games White could see more action. If the Saints key in on Jones it might open up White but even then if the Falcons have to chase the game expect Ryan to throw the ball a lot and the Saints have shown to give up yards in the air as have Tennessee and the Vikings are the 3 worst team defending the pass. Houston are the only consistent team of the 3 defending the pass.

In our Fantasy setup excluding the suspension Benson has an Average of 8.5 pts per week. White has 7.5 but White has the easier of the 2 remaining schedules. Food for thought.

was offered benson for my wr colston.....

benson has pittsburgh, home and away, baltimore at home and cleveland.

Jeez that's a hard call. I genuinely can't pick, but I recommend you deal Owen Daniels, you may get a RB for him, or Colston's replacement if you accept the trade.

Cheers for accepting...i think itll work well for both of us.

Trade wont go tru till saturday. If there is a game on Thursday, how do i setup my lineup so Colston starts on Sunday?

The Thursday game only affects players on Thursday.

matthew8 · 10-11-2011 01:43AM

Guys if anyone in division 5 is desperate at qb I'll give you Palmer for a very very very low price.

ashdale5 · 10-11-2011 02:16AM

A Bradshaw owner has offered me Lance Moore for Jacobs which I've turned down. He's come back asking what I want for him. Here's his roster -
QB Rodgers, Eli
RB Bradshaw, Starks, Bush, Mathews
WR Wallace, Nelson, Harvin, Moore
TE Daniels, Celek

My roster is
QB Brady
RB Green-Ellis, McGahee, SJax, Jacobs, Battle
WR Megatron, Holmes, Smith (CAR), Jones (GB), Brown (PIT)
TE Hernandez

What can I realistically expect to get from him? I'm thinking Nelson or Harvin? Or just stand pat?

Let me know when I start bugging ye with all my trade dilemas.

Dohnny Jepp · 10-11-2011 02:30AM

jordy or david nelson?

Dohnny Jepp · 10-11-2011 02:34AM

Tbh i like your wr's. He wont give wallace, Be it either nelson or harvin would be a bit of an improvement on your 3rd wr. but..

I'd offer brady + jacobs for rodgers and see what happens :P

Sorry Jordy Nelson (GB)

Should also have added that he's top of my division so maybe I should leave him swing for Jacobs.

Hi guys. Would any of you give up White plus one of the QB's for Forte if you had the roster above? Not sure if I can pull it off but Forte's owner has been snifing around for a QB. Alternatively, I think I could persuade him to part with Murray for White straight up.

Again, thanks for all the advice.

Peyton Manning · 10-11-2011 01:39PM

I'd bargain with him, offer Jacobs, Holmes + Moore for Mike Wallace.

Haha apologies that was my good self, i was annoyed that Bradford missed the game against New Orleans and had seen that you were seeking a trade for him on the waiver (its my first year) basically just wanted rid as Rodgers was out for the bye week, if he had of played i would have won that game week as i was narrowly defeated!

Which side of this deal would you like to be on?

Rob Gronkowski and Eric Decker

for

Roddy White and Antonio Gates

Well I've had Gronkowski and White both this season. Gronk has over-performed while Roddy has under-performed.

White seems to have recovered from the injury that has plagued him all season. I'll be expecting a serious improvement from him in the next few games. He has the ability to have a real stand-out week, beating all others. He needs the targets though.

On the other hand, Gronkowski is almost guaranteed a decent score. He has Tom Brady throwing to him. Last week he got 16 points. Not a bad score for a TE and he's already got 4 games in double digits and one 9.4 game.

I'm not really sure when you factor in the other two really but if you don't have Jimmy Graham on your team then I'd prefer to be getting in Gronkowski.

AGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHh! That trade wrecks my head. Roddy White and Antonio Gates, both when healthy extremely good at fantasy and both very good last year. It depends on where your team is. If you want to get a guaranteed no. 2 wideout and guaranteed TE starter going into the playoffs I'd rather the Gronk and Decker. But if you need some upgrades to simply get to the playoffs I'd rather get Gates and White.
