Pick up Forsett?

[Team Gooch]

Week 8 I have a bye week conflict and cant fill my RB/WR flex spot. I have a spot open to pick someone up so what FA should I get? It looks like Forsett is the best bet depending on how more involved Lynch becomes.Or should I try to make a trade. I love my team so Im not sure I would want to trade away any of my guys just to solve my bye week issue. 10 team league, No ppr 10yds rush/rec = 1pt, 6 for TDs,

FA RBs Week 8 opponent
Forsett(SEA) @ Oak--Seems like Lynch will be used more as the workhorse back giving Forsett fewer touches
Cadillac(TB) @ Arz--had nice day receiving week 6 but not much at all on ground
J. Stewart(CAR) @ StL--not getting many chances
R. Bush(NO) vs Pitt--could be back by then but how effective against the Steelers

FA WRs Week 8 opponent
Bowe(KC) vs Buf
Ward(Pitt) @ NO
Crabtree(SF) vs Den
Gaffney(Den) @ SF
Bess(Mia) @ Cinn
Mike Williams(Sea) @ Oak
Mike Thomas(Jax) @ Dal
Branch(NE) vs Minn


The only trade I could see possibly making would be my Bradshaw for his Steven Jackson. That owner has a bye week conflict week 9.

My roster:QB Big Ben, Eli, RB Foster, Mendy, Turner, Bradshaw, WR Wayne, White, Nicks, Wallace, TE, Miller, K Gould, Def WW D, 1 free spot

Depends on how bad you want the win this week. If you think you can skim by then don't trade.
I would trade for better RB and come to love my NEW team.

I wouldn't compromise the rest of your season just for this next week. Forsett is an okay play but he'll lose more touches to Lynch and the 'Hawks offensive line is putrid. I'd stay away from the Seattle running game. Look at your week 7 lineup and look at your opponents and see if you can squeak out a victory without making a change. Your team is solid.

I really don't like the RB options. I'd take Crabtree who has been a lot better since the new OC, Bess next. I wouldn't trade on a bye week alone. So you lose a few points in one week - who do you want for the playoffs? If you don't klike the trade for the rest of the seasona nd your playoff team, don't do it

Crabtree is a good pickup, but your roster is solid.

I agree. I wouldn't sacrifice future weeks to save this one. I like Crabtree best among your options and then Forsett and Bowe. I live in Denver and their pass D is horrendous. Crabtree should get some looks that week.

I'd maybe just try to make a trade. Bradshaw for SJax wouldn't be a bad move. SJax has a favorable schedule and he won't lose goal line carries.

As for your free spot, I may take a shot with Caddy. With Huggins hurt, he could see more reps and is going against Arizona. If Royal's injury looks serious Gaffney is another solid option.
