You would Propose this trade right?

I want to buy Ray Rice low, guy who has him is 0-4 and needs to make a move esp since Grant got injured for him as well.

Already have AP and Pierre Thomas and Ladell Betts to handcuff Pierre.

I offered:
Thomas Jones and Beanie Wells

I get:
Ray Rice

Seems like with my running back depth its a no brainer right? Told him to take a look and counter if he doesnt like it.

Its .5 ppr. He has Ray Rice, Brandon Jackson , and Maroney. Cant get much weaker than that, my opinion is it would be in his best interest to move Ray Rice, seeing as its his best piece, in order to get 2 quality guys as oppose to 1 under performing banged up stud. I also have John Kuhn for some added depth.

Yea that make sense considering the lack of quality outside of Rice at his running back position.

No brainer for you to try this; however if he shops Rice, he could do much better than 2 RB's who split carries.

Not sure why he would make this deal. You would be ripping him off!

Ray Rice is splitting carries as well, not to mention not getting goal line touches. Rice has only scored 1 TD in his last 11 games dating back to last season, and has only DD fantasy points 1 time this year. Not to mention hes banged up, so is it that much of a rip off? I obviously think Im getting the better end of it, but with his lack of depth, I dont think the move would be bad for him either. With a rookie QB Wells carries should go up each week and will prob be getting 15-20 touches per. Thomas Jones is the starter and will be seeing the same, and KC is the #1 ranked run offense in the NFL, and has a fairly easy schedule.

I really think people are a little too high on Rice and are hypnotized by what he did last year and his draft position this year. He is the Matt Forte of last year. I pulled the offer off the table before he had a chance to respond. He text me and ask me why I pulled it and I explained the exact same thing. I wanted to take a shot in hopes that Rice can return to last years form and have a gross 1, 2, 3 in AP, Rice and Pierre, but at the same time I dont want to sacrifice my depth for a banged up RB spitting carries, and getting no goal line touches. These will become very valuable pieces if anymore injuries arise. Thanks for the input tho, even though I disagree with many of you in terms of me ripping him off.
