I have really nothing going on at WR, and besides the two monsters at RB - no real depth there after the next couple weeks. Do I flip Ray Ray for some quality WR's and maybe more? Or sit on this and let the two beasts go to work. (DMC bye week next week) If you think I should flip him, who should I target?
Agreed, Rice is BAL's offense so dont trade him unless its for Calvin. As stated above try to package some other RBs/WRs for a solid WR. Help with mine? viewtopic.php?f=19&t=504793

If you are dealing Rice you have to get a WR AND RB back. Megatron would be a solid WR for Rice but you'd also need a startable RB back in the deal. Maybe someone like Wells or Daniel Thomas or Mathews.
Doubt he'll agree but I wanted to put the feeler out there. He agreed to come up with some packages around Rice and Megatron so we'll see what he counters with. I'm assuming he's not accepting this...
I'm in trade talks with the Megatron owner.... Here are his offers:
Calvin Johnson Maurice Jones-Drew
for
Darren McFadden Steve Smith (possibly a sweetener here)
Or
Calvin Johnson for Ray Rice
I pretty much will not deal McFadden under any circumstance, I love him and think he's an absolute beast but that deal is making me think. And will not trade Rice unless I get a WR and RB in return. His RB's are MJD, Ryan Matthews (who he's high on), Deji Karim, Danny Woodhead, CJ Spiller.
Calvin Johnson Miles Austin Dwayne Bowe Jacoby Jones James Jones Julio Jones
So if I were to offer a trade like: Ray Rice/Steve Smith for Miles Austin/Ryan Matthews or something like that, would that work or is Rice too valuable to give up at this point? Check up top I'm obviously desperate for some WR help.

That trade is not a good idea for you at all. I actually like the McFadden/Smith for Calvin Johnson/MJD trade. Yes McFadden is a beast, but the upgrade you get at WR far outweighs what you lose going from him to MJD.
Look at it this way:
Here's what you have right now: McFadden averages 17.5 points per game Rice averages 19 points per game Smith averages 14 points per game Breaston (highest of your other WRs) averages 7 points per game Total: 57.5
After the trade: Rice - 19 MJD - 13 Johnson - 18.5 Smith - 14 Total 64.5

I see you included Smith in that total, but he's included in that trade. It's SMITH/DMC for Johnson/MJD. If I put Breaston in there at 7, it'd total 57.5 also.
