Ok I need some trade advice. I'm 2-3 in my league and I feel like the season could slip away from me within the next couple weeks because of my rosters matchups. I play in a standard 12 team league, non ppr. We start 1QB, 2RB, FLEX, 2WR, TE, DST, K
Here's my roster (starters in bold) QB: Romo, Eli Manning RB: Fred Jackson,MJD,Steven Jackson, Cedric Benson, Ryan Torain WR: Nicks,Stevie Johnson Torey Smith, Manningham TE: Hernandez, Daniels
I'm trying to trade MJD away because frankly I don't like his matchups coming up (Wk6 @PIT, Wk7 vs BAL), and his team sucks. I'm also trying to get rid of Stevie Johnson because I'm not sure how much I like him going forward, and he still has two games left against Revis. Which will probably mean two automatic games under 5 fantasy points. I really have no need for Eli and Benson, so i'm going to try to use them as trade bait. Will these trades help my team, or am I giving up too much:
I would try the first one don't super love the other two.
QB- Roethlisberger, Rivers, Foles RB- McCoy, Lynch, L James, Ivory, F Jackson, D Thomas, Turbin WR- Julio, Bowe, D Bryant, D Jax, Amendola, Broyles, Gordon, Hill TE- Celek, D Allen DEF- Giants K- Zuerlin D- D Washington, S Weatherspoon, L Kuechly
I don't like any of the offers if I owned McFadden or Foster. And the Benson and S.Johnson for Austin would only work if the other team REALLY needed RB help.
I'd offer Sjax and Steve Johnson for Austin or some other elite WR. I'd even consider MJD and Johnson for Austin and something small.
But if you truly want to get the ELITE player you're gonna have to get "ripped" off by value. But it will make your roster better. I hate when people think they're giving such a "sweet" deal when it isn't improving the other person's roster...DON'T be that guy. lol

Well that's the thing, it does help both teams. The team with Foster has Fitzpatrick and Sanchez as their QB. So they would be getting a starting QB in Eli, and then a small downgrade from Foster to MJD. Lets not forget that MJD is top 10 in scoring for RB's. I think the owner is a bit worried because Fitz has tailed off a bit, and he is losing WR options (Roscoe Parrish and Jones are both out for a while). He is thinking about it, but countered with:
I Receive: Foster, Fitzpatrick, Mike Thomas I Give Up: MJD, Eli, Benson
I'm hesitant on that trade because I may need Benson for depth during bye weeks, but I do have Torain burried on my bench who could end up being better than Benson. Should I take that deal?
