Just got offered this trade in a 12-team league. I am in desperate need for RBs, but I don't think that I am going to accept this trade straight-up. What kind of counter-offer would you send? Here are our rosters

My roster (2-1/hurt by Charles injury)
QB Tony Romo
RB Shonn Greene
RB James Starks
RB/WR Flex Sidney Rice
WR Calvin Johnson
WR Hakeem Nicks
TE Brandon Pettigrew
Bench
QB Matt Hasselbeck
RB Reggie Bush
RB Isaac Redman
WR Mario Manningham
WR Mike Thomas

Here is his:
QB Phillip Rivers
RB LeSean McCoy
RB Felix Jones
RB/WR Javid Best
WR Julio Jones
WR Anquan Boldin
TE Rob Gronkowski
Bench
QB Mark Sanchez
RB Willis McGahee
WR Davone Bess
WR Mohamed Massaquoi
TE Ed Dickson

Maybe see if you can get just McCoy for your Nicks and Starks. That would be a steal for you. Or see if you can do Felix. Boldin, and Julio for your Nicks, Starks, and Manningham.

I can see why that offer came along. I wouldn't take it either, but it's a fair offer.

What do you think of Julio Jones? You could ask for him rather than Boldin. Or you could try to downgrade the WRs, and reply with Starks + Manningham for Felix + Bess/Massaquoi. Not sure he'll go for it, but that would upgrade your starting RB at the expense of weakening your bench.

I don't love this deal. I think that Felix will struggle at times and is not going give you consistent production like Nicks will. If you are going to give up a player like Nicks you need to get a better RB in return IMO.

yea bro i wouldn't take that trade. nicks is a potential top 5 wr. i think you need to get a better rb in the offer to make it worth your while. as much as the cowboys want to ride the felix jones train (and trust me, he has the talent), he's just not built to be a 20-25 touch back. and thats what you would need to reciprocate the value of nicks.
