Should I try for this? WHIR!!!

Postby LaRock » Thu Nov 19, 2009 11:35 pm

12 team league, standard scoring, 0.5 PPR, 4 pts per 100 yds rushing.

VERY strict roster rules. We MUST have 2 QBs, 3 RBs, 4 WRs, 2 TEs, 2 D/STs, 2 Ks. Starters in bold.

QB: Schaub, Garrard
RB: Forte, Rice, Thomas
WR: Megatron, White, Sims-Walker, Collie
TE: Gates, Winslow
D/ST: BUF, NO
K: Feely, Carney
-------------------------------------

An owner has Flacco and Ryan as his QBs, and he wants an upgrade. He said he's willing to ship Ryan and Benson (His other RBs are SJax and Ricky W).

I'm thinking of offering Garrard and Pierre for Ryan and Benson. Would that be a good offer? I really like Pierre's schedule down the stretch, but I don't know if he'll split carries like he has or blow up like he did last year. Benson has been a stud but will this injury linger, or will Scott/LJ cut into his workload?

Basically is it even worth swapping Pierre for Benson?

Thanks, and please leave a link so I can return the favor!

Nope I stand pat, Thomas' schedule is money, and now that Benson has injury concerns, the Bengals may choose to committee his touches down the stretch. With the emergence of Bush in the past few weeks, Mike Bell, I feel is now Mr. Irrelevant, and Thomas will play the Deuce roll to perfection from here on out.

This is a judgement call. Benson is hurt so I do feel you are putting "healthy" value on him. I like both Thomas and Bensons playoff schedule. WIth Benson hurt I would hold off.

Stay with what you have. It isn't bad. Your playoff match up is probably one of the top so you should be okay. I just don't like trading for a big player who gets hurt right before FFB playoff time. Bengles look good and they are going to want him healthy for the important games to come. It just doesn't seem advised to take a possible three headed dragon when you have a safe call in Thomas.

I would also stick with what you have. PT's schedule is awesome down the stretch
