Trade: Eddie Lacy for Gio Bernard?
First off here are my trade options (details about my team below) Option 1: Keep Lacy Option 2: Trade Lacy and get either DeAngelo Williams or Maurice Jones-Drew Option 3: Trade Lacy and get Giovani Bernard OK... so on to the details: PPR league, QBs: Stafford, Dalton RBs: Shady McCoy, Steven Jackson (injured for 2-4 weeks), Eddie Lacy (injured for 2 weeks) ****Soon to be added Frank Gore (trading Starks for Gore tomorrow) WRs: Vincent Jackson, Dwayne Bowe, Jordy Nelson, T.Y. Hilton TE: Jermichael Finley No one else worth mentioning. Obviously I need a RB. I am #1 on the waiver wire and am picking up James Starks. Problem is that with Steven Jackson out at least 2 more weeks I still have no one to run as my RB2 in week 4 (packer's bye week). Plus no one likes starting 3 players from the same team. I am going to trade Starks immediately for Frank Gore to solve that problem, but I have a couple of other outstanding trade offers involving Lacy as listed above. Which do you think is the best course to follow? Personally I am leaning towards keeping Lacy or trading him for Gio Bernard. I think this trade partner might require a wide receiver swap to sweeten the deal for her (she is a big Gio fan) - If I did need to throw in a WR swap, which would you guys suggest swapping to sweeten the deal for her a little? her WRs are Eric Decker, Julian Edelman, Vincent Brown, Alshon Jeffrey, Emanuel Sanders. Thoughts?
Trade my Eddie Lacy for Edelman and Starks?
Keep in mind Lacy is my RB1 in a 2 RB league, and my other RBs are weak - Jon Stewart, Joseph Randle, Alfred Morris, Ahmad Bradshaw. My WRs are already strong, Allen Robinson, Alshon Jeffreys, DeSean Jackson, Willie Sneed, Davante Adams in a 3 WR league
Should I trade Matt Forte for Eddie Lacy, Giovanni Bernard, T. Richardson, and Larry Fitzgerald?
I need some outside insight on this trade. Forte is my favorite player and is #1 in scoring at RB in my league. It is 12 team PPR League. I am in need of another WR and a Flex position. Seems like a good offer but I don't want to regret it.
Would you do this Fantasy Football trade? (Bowe+G.Bernard for Lacy+M.Bush)?
12-team, standard scoring, 2RB, 2WR, 1 Flex ** I receive: Dwayne Bowe and Giovanni Bernard ** I give away: Eddy Lacy and Michael Bush ** My starters before the trade: RB1: MJD RB2: Reggie Bush Flex: David Wilson WR1: Calvin Johnson WR2: Eric Decker Bench: Eddy Lacy ** My starters before the trade: RB1: MJD RB2: Reggie Bush Flex: David Wilson WR1: Calvin Johnson WR2: Dwayne Bowe Bench: Eric Decker Bench: Giovanni Bernard
I finally got the first overall pick in my league this year. Who should I pick?
I assume people who are way more fantasy savvy than I am will tell you what to actually do, but I strongly recommend against picking quarterbacks early. I would say go look at people who do fantasy for a living and they don't pick quarterbacks generally till round 4-7. The reasoning I think is because there are so many quarterbacks who start that will play the entire game, so they all get close to the same amount of points. The highs are projected for 300+ points in a season while the mid-range quarterbacks are projected for like 250+ points. That's a lot quarterbacks that are decent and everyone only starts one. So 20+ of them and your league only starts 12.On the other hand, how many running backs are three down backs who will rack up crazy points? 5? 10? 15? and your league can start 36 running backs. That's a huge disparity between quarterbacks. A lot of teams are pass heavy ->Not a lot of points for running backs. A lot of teams rotate 2 or 3 running backs constantly. -> No high scorers there. For me I ended up with ninth pick and picked Anderson and then Demarco Murray on the second round (Only a 10 team league). Second time through picked a wide receiver and a T.E. (Graham was on the board and very tempting). On the fifth round I picked another wide receiver and THEN on the sixth round I picked Peyton Manning because there was a huge selection of quarterbacks left. I would suggest looking up professional sites like ESPN or Yahoo and see who they say is number one. I ended up with 6 running backs, 6 wide receivers, 1 quarterback, 1 TE, 1 defense, and 1 kicker. And there are still quality quarterbacks I can pick up if need be whereas almost every decent running back or wide receiver has been chosen.
