That would depend on rosters, but if the Turner/Benson guy can get to the playoffs, that would be a great pair. Turner may not play for a couple more weeks though.
12 Team League. We start 2 QBs and get .5 PPR, otherwise standard scoring QBs: Stafford, Fitzpatrick, Collins RBs: Charles, Mendenhall, Best, Starks, Carter, Karim WRs: D. Jackson, Marshall, S. Smith, Green, TE: Hernandez, Cook
yeah that would be me getting Turner and Benson. I also have chris Johnson so my RB core would be superb.
The only reason i'd do this is because Rice has to face steelers away in the final week of the playoffs. A tough matchup especially when both teams are fighting for postseason spots.
But with Turner against Jets and Buffalo and Benson against Kansas and San Diego I would be sitting pretty.
As for getting to playoffs. At the moment I have a one game lead in my league from 2nd place. And I am 2 wins above 5th place. So things look good for me reaching the playoffs.
Slaton is at best, a RB by committee situation. No guarantee he is someone to start for the rest of the season. Rice is good but not as good as either Turner or Benson. Latest RotoWorld report has Turner already back to limited practice. I'd make this trade in a second.
yeah unluckily I was too late. He withdrew the trade offer.
So i'm looking to counter to another offer now.
I have chris Johnson who i'd probably play every week anyway in the playoffs. So i'll only offer for one of his Michael Turner or Cedric Benson. But which?
What would be a trade you think would be best? These are our 2 teams
Me: Brett Favre, Eli Manning Chris johnson, Ray Rice, Steve Slaton, Darren McFadden Calvin Johnson, Dwayne Bowe, Desean Jackson, Donald Driver, Michael Crabtree kellen Winslow Neil Rackers Saints DST
Him: Donovan McNabb, Kevin Kolb Michael Turner, Cedric Benson, Ladainian Tomlinson, Ricky Williams (BEAST IN RBS) Chad Ochocinco, Roddy White, Percy Harvin, Braylon Edwards Dallas Clark Jay Feely Dolphins DST, Broncos DST
I was thinking: Ray Rice + Calvin Johnson for Michael Turner + Chad Ochocinco
