Absolutely agree with this post. IMO Turner and Forte are pretty equal and the .5 PPR makes Forte's value rise, that said Royal is heads and shoulders about Holmes in a standard league, add to it the .5 PPR and hes leaps and bounds better then Holmes. Id stick with the goods you have unless he comes back over the top with a better WR, which i don't see happening cuz the last resort is Wayne and i think he would be overpaying then.

help me out...

there talking about feeding forte 400 carries...even if its 350 carries...that poor RB is being used up way to much...hes gonna be in a damm wheelchair by the endof the season.

Atlantas O line is more protecting, and turner has a much better YPC % then forte.

I would of said no to this trade if Cutler was still on denver, but he isnt...that said...this trade is prety much equal.

I personally would go with turner and holmes. Holmes has more exp then royal, and a better QB to toss it to him.

its basically your call on this one

Once you add that .5 per reception Forte/Royal is definitely the pick. They are a more consistent points wise since both catch a lot more passes. Not sure what previous poster was saying about Forte being over worked they are trying to work Kevin Jones into the mix much more and Forte had a 60 less carries last season. Atl is going to throw the ball more with a year under Matt Ryan's belt and the Bears offense is still centered around Forte whether the run or throw the ball.

I say definitely not, and I'd also move Eddie Royal into that flex spot over Morgan.
