Traded away Hightower

[markscott273]

So I traded hightower and Devery Henderson for Desean Jackson and Mark Ingram.

I think Roy Helu will have more points than Hightower so I wanted to trade Hightower while he's hot.

Did I help or hurt my team? (12-team non-ppr, ESPN standard scoring, 1QB 2RB 2WR 1WR/RB 1TE 1K 1DST)

My team:
QB: Philip Rivers, Matt Ryan
RB: Ray Rice, Tim Hightower, Daniel Thomas, Ronnie Brown, Delone Carter, Woodhead
WR: Dez Bryant, Percy Harvin, Devery Henderson, Marques Colston, Nate Burleson
TE: Jimmy Graham
K: Josh Brown
D/ST: Eagles

His team:
QB: Michael Vick, Donovan McNabb
RB: Robert Turner, Mark Ingram, Shawn Greene, CJ Spiller, Knowshon Moreno
WR: Desean Jackson, Steve Smith (CAR), Hester, Mike Williams (SEA)
TE: Vernon Davis, Scott Chandler
K: Mason Crosby
DST: Vikings

I like the trade. Big increase in talent at WR for moderate decrease with lots of upside at RB. Although, I still don't love your RB situation.

[markscott273]

I don't like my RB situation either. I might try to package Matt Ryan with Harvin or somebody to get another top 10 RB. My problem is that no one needs a QB right now.

[crg1400]

Who has Romo and/or Vick. There's enough injury question there to give it a shot.

[markscott273]

the guy who has vick I did the trade with. I offered him Ryan but he said no. Plus he really doesn't have any good RBs to give up. (Turner, Greene, Moreno, Spiller and hightower [who I just traded to him])

The guy who has Romo has Kolb on the Bench and traded Turner and Marshall to get Newton and Gore. I could try to get Gore, Mendenhall or Tolbert from him. Any ideas?

[crg1400]

I doubt you could get Gore for Harvin & Ryan, maybe target mendenhall. But it depends on what his WR needs are. If i were him I would be content with Kolb at backup and wouldn't be too interested in Ryan. Not sure you have much leverage.

[markscott273]

He has Welker, Hines Ward and jacoby jones for his WR (he traded away Brandon Marshall)

Do you think I can afford to let go of harvin? My other WRs would be Dez Bryant, Desean Jackson, Nate Burleson and Marques Colston.

[markscott273]

The guy will only get rid of Darren Sproles. He offered Sproles for Harvin.

[markscott273]

So the guy came back and offered me his Sproles for Harvin.

I would like Sproles but Harvin faces the Chiefs in a couple of weeks. I might hold off. But my RB is kind of weak.

[markscott273]

I decided I'm going to keep Harvin. Why give away Harvin for Sproles when I already have Ingram and Graham (and colston). and I'm not even a Saints fan.
