Trying to get an elite RB... thoughts on a few trades? WHIR!

[thejusman1]

This is a keeper league, and I chose to move on last year with Matt Forte and Steven Jackson. I'm trying to acquire a great RB to carry me through the rest of the season and fantasy playoffs, and I've got several proposals being bounced around.

.5PPR, 12-team league.
QB - Kurt Warner
WR - Brandon Marshall, Marques Colston, DeSean Jackson
RB - Forte, SJax
TE - Vernon Davis
K - Nedney
DEF - Phil, SF
BN - Burleson, MSW, Julius Jones, LeSean McCoy, Earl Bennett.

Trade #1

I send Steven Jackson or Matt Forte AND Brandon Marshall for DeAngelo Williams. Leaning towards no here, but is DeAngelo a good buy-low?

Trade #2

I send either Colston or B. Marshall for Benson.

Trade #3

I send Forte and a WR for Chris Johnson. Is CJ a better long-term keeper than Forte? Does he have more elite talent?

WHIR!!

Thanks for your help...

I think it's good to buy low on DWill, but I think either RB plus Marshall is giving up too much.

I'd trade Colston for Benson. The Saints spread it around too much to count on Colston week in and week out. Benson is much more consistent (I can't believe I just said that).

Trade 3 I like the best. When you say WR I assume you can send any of your WRs? If that's the case package Forte and Burleson or Bennett for Johnson. I like Forte but I think Johnson has much more upside long term.

Good luck!

I'd try and trade S. Jax and Burleson for Chris Johnson. I think its hard to say right now if Forte or CJ will be better so why not have them both. While S. Jax is a great back the Rams are absolutely horrible and don't look like they'll be getting better in the next few seasons.

Sjax and a WR for Johnson definitely.
