Tough Trade Decision

[Hoosiercatdaddy]

I LOVE trades and usually know one way or another whether I like it. I just got one that stumps me.

I give: Miles Austin (Which I made sure I got early in 2nd)

I get: Arian Foster and Mike Williams(TB)

I was high on Foster before the draft but the guy took him way too early for what I was expecting. I really need a stud WR but I also really like Mike Williams and think he will be a decent WR. I already have 3 RBs that I drafted but Foster could be a special back this year. Yes this it was the Colts run D, but he was nice at the end of last year and in preseason. A stud RB could carry teams in this league as long as you are getting some production from your other players.

I would start Foster alongside J-Stew and use the others as trade bait. I can only start 2 RBs and 3 WRs.

RB- Shonn Green (and LT)
RB- Javid Best
RB- JStew
WR- Miles Austin
WR- Santana Moss
WR- Mark Clayton
WR- Mike Williams (Seattle)


The trade is definitely fair but is it worth adding another RB to downgrade at WR? Even though I think Mike Williams could be a solid #2.

anyone else in your league weak at RB and strong at WR?
you could flip one if your backs an WR for a stud/#1 WR?

i personally would try to setup a rb for stud wr deal first. If I have something lined up then I would make this deal. If not I think I would stay put.

actually yes a few. I can actually trade Javid Best for Boldin right now if I wanted so that could settle it. I like Boldin but not sure he a solid #1 like Austin. What sucks is this guy can deal Foster because he had the #1 waiver spot and got Brandon Jackson so he can afford to deal a RB.


This would be my team after these trades:

RB-J.Stewart
RB- Greene(or LT)
RB- Foster
WR- Boldin
WR-S. Moss
WR.- Clayton
WR- Mike Williams(TB)

or

RB- J. Stewart
RB- Greene
RB- J. Best
WR- M. Austin
WR- S. Moss
WR- M. Clayton

Which one is better? Is Foster a big enough upgrade over my other RBs to downgrade from Austin to Boldin and getting a free Mike Williams?

That would leave you vulnerable at wr in my opinion...wouldnt make that trade I think your rbs could turn out to be really good.BOL

You are probably right and I was very high on all 3 this year and the only one I am a little worried about so far is Greene and thats because LT was shining and he was fumbling. J-Stew is going to be nice this year and wouldn't trade him for anything.

[danv6]

Dont fret over 1 game with Greene or Foster youll be fine.I do like Foster but I think Austin is top 3 fantasy wr this year.GL!!

[ryhenry09]

Would not do it Cat... I think Austin is gonna be top 3 wr this yr... Romo absolutely loves him and he will get 10+ targets a gm

[Hoosiercatdaddy]

Alright, i am not going to do it but will do Best for Boldin. here's my starters now

RB-Shonn Green (LT)
RB- JStew
WR- M. Austin
WR- Boldin
WR- S. Moss
TE- J. Witten

backup
RB-Hightower
WR- Mark Clayton
WR- Mike Williams (SEA)
