Greene/Shiancoe for R.White/A.Gates?

Postby ZeroPointZero » Wed Sep 08, 2010 10:41 am

I'm thinking of offering my Shonn Greene and Shiancoe for his R. White and A. Gates. No PPR. His team is really terrible right now. He's starting Olsen as his flex. He could really use another RB and already has the LT handcuff, and I'd like the upgrade at WR and TE.
So would you make this trade? This means I have to rely on A. Foster to be a stud RB for me, and probably need Spiller to hang on to the starting job in Buffalo. My best flex options would be Spiller and Welker.

My team is in my signature. His is here...

QB: T. Brady, Eli Manning
WR: R. White, B. Berrian, J. Knox, Jacoby, Burleson
RB: PT Cruiser, Bradshaw, Ladanian, Rashad Jennings
TE: Gates, Olsen
K: Kaeding
Def: Tennessee
12 team H2H league, standard scoring, no PPR.
QB: Cutler, Kitna
RB: All Day AP, CJ2K, F.Jax, R.Brown, S. Greene, Dixon
WR: G. Jennings, Roy Williams, M. Williams (sea)
TE: J. Tamme
Def: Denver
K: Hartley, Carpenter

No, I don't think you should make that trade. Like you said, you NEED Foster to be a stud and there is no guarantee. Why don't you wait the first few games and see how things go and then make the move?

I don't think you can do this right now imo. Also, I think you are just fine at WR with Welker/AJ.

Might need to upgrade shiancoe, but I think he presents good value with S Rice out for an extended period of time.

gut feeling...no, don't do it...you might be okay with the remaining RBs, but you have little room for error. I think your WRs are pretty decent for a 12-team league. White would be nice, but not sure if it is worth the risk.

Eh no dude. I'd be shooting for a better backup QB than Smith. What is available? If you can squeeze a QB from him I'd jump on it, but otherwise stay put and look for a deal later.
