I want Mike Wallace on my team. I'm 2-2 in a 12 team non-ppr league. With the way my guys have performed, I feel fortunate to be on the board with a "W" at all. Anyway, I'm trying to make some moves to strengthen my roster, and I think Wallace is a viable candidate to do it. The owner in my league that has him is 0-4. He's definitely hurting and in a hole. Here is my roster:
My Team: QB Eli and Favre RB Tomlinson, Charles, Forte & Greene WR Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, Floyd, Naanee & Knox TE Finley DST Bengals & Bears
His Team: QB Breesh RB DeAngelo Williams, Cadillac, Ronnie Brown, Sproles WR Garcon, Moore, Manningham, Wallace, Moore TE Gonzalez & Winslow DST Cowboys & Texans
In order to make a play for Wallace, I'm prepared to offer Floyd. Or, should I offer Forte instead? If I give Forte up, it'll leave me thin at RB. However, our league only plays 1 RB each week. We also play a flex (RB/WR). Thus, I'll be deep at WR and I think I can make it with LT, Charles and Greene. Here are my options:
1 - My Floyd for his Wallace 2 - My Forte for his Wallace
Anyway, I would appreciate any and all advise I can get. If I should go another direction, please let me know.
QB: Eli Manning, Favre & Kitna RB: Charles, Tomlinson, Forte & Greene WR: Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, Floyd & Knox TE: Daniels K: Longwell D/ST: Seattle & Chicago 1 QB, 1 RB, 2 WR, 1 RB/WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 D/ST (Non-PPR 12 Team)
Well, Wallace > Floyd to me, so I can't see him doing that. I think the problem is, his WRs aren't good. In fact, Wallace is his most valuable WR, IMO. You could offer him Forte, but I'm not sure you need to. I actually think you have a good roster. If you give up Forte, and Charles goes down with an injury, you'd be hurting. I think you would have to give up too much for what would be a WR3 for you.
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

You're right. As bad as Forte has looked the past couple of weeks, it would be difficult to cut him loose for the reasons you mentioned. Hopefully, he'll turn it around. I hope the rest of my roster does the same. Thanks for the help.
