STUPID MOVE?

Postby YerInUrine » Thu Sep 17, 2009 7:35 pm

I traded Mike Turner for Matt Forte in my PPR keeper league.

Turner has the hardest running schedule, but I am a little leery of the sophomore slump with Forte.

Did I make a stupid move?

no you didnt make a stupid move at all...you are absolutly right about taking forte..forte has much better ppr value..not by a lot, but turner does have a tuff schedule, and week 1 was the start. The only thing that concerns me about forte is his huge workload...it seems like he could end up in a wheel chair later on in life. But turner is older and has the same workload almost.

I think you won with forte

I like Forte much more than Turner in a PPR.
A win next week and all is forgotten.

Absolutely Not!!!!

Forte wins hands down in my book over Turner in PPR (and non-PPR)......sure, Forte didn't catch a pass in week one and last year that was his main value (receptions) but I am sure the coaches and Forte had a word or 2 with Cutler and said that if they want to win and if Cutler doesn't want to turn the ball over then he will throw the short passes to Forte (like last year with Orton) since Forte is the playmaker!!!

Good......actually, GREAT swap of RB's!

Good Luck!
