RB1 for WR1 trades

Postby rjeffers » Wed Sep 30, 2009 3:07 pm

Hey guys,

12 team PPR league with 1pt/25yd return yardage. Start 1QB,2RB,3WR,1TE My team looks like this:

QB: Warner, Sanchez
RB: MJD, Chris Johnson, D.Sproles, R.Grant
WR: A.Boldin, A.Bryant, E.Royal, B.Edwards
TE: D.Keller

Sproles has absolutely blown up in this league, equaling the point production of MJD and Johnson. Which of the three should I try to pan in exchange for a WR1, which WR1, or should I sit tight?

Thanks.

With MJD, Chris Johnson, and Grant, you're pretty stacked at RB even without Sproles. I don't like your WR core at all. If you can move Sproles for a WR2, I'd seize that opportunity. Otherwise, try and package Grant and Royal/Edwards/Bryant away for either 2 WR1s or at least one WR1 and a WR2. For your WR1, target at least one stud performer, because you'd be giving up a stud, like VJax, Colston, Andre Johnson, Reggie Wayne, etc. For your WR2, I'd try and sneak in slow, but surely bounce-back players like Roddy White, Greg Jennings, or Calvin Johnson. If your league mates don't fall for that, your WR2 list might look like Desean Jackson, Donald Driver, Cotchery, Bowe, etc. Some names to stay away from when you're dealing RBs possessing the caliber you own - Housh, Roy Williams, T.O., Fitz (mainly b/c of Boldin's presence). These guys entered the season as WR1-2s, but unreliable play thus far has really hindered their value. There's no need to acquire such risk unless you're dealing Sproles. If you are dealing Grant/MJD/CJ24, you should net SOLID, no-risk return.

Thanks for the help with mine.

Thinking about proposing Sproles for Colston straight up. Sound even, or should I package some of my detritus WR's?

Thanks for your help.

I own Colston, and I would reject that trade outright. If you can swing it, you're a master of negotiations. Sproles has been good, but he's still just the handcuff to LT.

Not sure I agree in this league. Sproles has produced just as much (55 points) as Johnson and MJD with the return yardage. Straight up beast considering I got him in the last round of the draft. This means he'll never put up a goose egg, which carries some value.
