Trade Leveon Bell. Jordan Reed(Washingtons #2 receiver(TE) behind Garcon) and Malcom Flyod for injured and yet to see bye week players Calvin Johnson and Jimmy Grahamn?
You never trade an elite back, and Bell is clearly a top3 back, cheap and its a keeper league, or trade for injured players and both of those stars are injured. If they get healthy it puts me up there for this years championship while helping Pierce as his rb's are God awful pathetic and he needs wins now to get into playoffs. The keeper aspect will screw me for next year as Bell and Reed are High end RB 1 and young, and mid level TE 1 young and both are cheap for their value. Probably my 2 keepers. I think I talked myself out of it. maybe trade shady instead who is going to blow up second half now that O-line is back and he has had bye week, but costs a shit ton so not a keeper |

Would you trade 1-1 Bell for Johnson or Graham? No to either. Both injured. Graham is tempting but too much risk. Def not worth it. Don't let the other small fish thrown into the deal fool you - this is a Bell for Graham trade, everything else is peanuts IMHO. "bird in the hand, two in the bush", etc, who would you even have left to start this week? |

at 10:04 PM, Tuesday October 21, 2014 EDT well he's not. but I don't ever believe in injured players. choose your own strategy.
he got hurt week 3, only aggravated the injury weeks 4/5, then missed 6/7, could miss 8, it's definitely a long season but I don't think he will be of the same caliber as before. if I look at it as a bell for graham trade (no), then that makes the other piece a reed for johnson trade (no). What are you going to do when you have a roster of injured players and bye weeks, but "a lot of recovery potential"? |

at 2:14 PM, Friday October 24, 2014 EDT I'm 5-2 and Sproles/Shady have taken their Bye, Matin is still a starting load back(not good so far) at WR I opened a roster spot and was able to get Baldwin off waivers. In a 14 man league he may have elevated to low end WR1, at least a high WR2 to go with Michael Flyod, Megatron, MaClin and Lefell so plenty of WR depth to carry through byes/injuries and still use as a flex if short week on RB's
I also picked up Stephan Taylor who is a vulture to Ellington at Arizona and Ellington is your typical Clemson skill player, always getting hurt, so he has a chance at being a starter several weeks. |
