I have a trade offer, 10 team ppr league. I give up David Wilson and get RG3. Here is my roster

QB: Eli Manning
RB: Marshawn Lynch, Chris Johnson, Eddie Lacy, David Wilson, Bryce Brown
WR: A.J. Green, Victor Cruz, Wes Welker, Jordy Nelson, Tavon Austin, Sidney Rice
TE: Owen Daniels, Zach Sudfeld

We can only start 2 RBs (no flex) and I think RG3 would be a good upgrade for me though he would be getting the better deal overall as David Wilson has shot up the ADP. Should I pull the trigger?

I'd rather gamble with Eli Manning and assume that RG3 won't necessarily be a huge upgrade, and I think David Wilson is a great talent and an explosive runner. His YPC is in the CJ Spiller, Adrian Peterson range. Just imagine what he can do with the amount of carries he'll be getting and he'll be taking over goal line duties, too, while Andre Brown is out for a few weeks.

I would rather trade away Lynch or Johnson. I'm also crazy, though, so maybe you should do the opposite of what I suggest. :D

I wouldn't.
1. RG3 will probably miss games for injury if he continues playing the same way.
2. RG3 isn't going to score THAT many more points than Eli.
3. Brown is a huge fumbler. Don't count on playing him at all.
4. CJ2k will probably disappoint, like most years.
5. Lacy is still unproven.
6. Just drop Brown after week 1 and pick up a backup QB who plays well. Palmer/Cutler/Flacco/Dalton.

You are STACKED at RB. I'd try to trade Lynch probably, maybe Lacy. You should be able to upgrade a couple spots in a package deal. Maybe another WR1 or a QB/TE.

1. that's if he gets injured. he got injured by a flukey hit ngata laid on his leg. he didn't rest it enough and the team paid the price. however, if he reinjurs that knee in a serious way, it could be the end of his career. however, that's a big if.
2. you're wrong. he will crush eli manning's points.
3. brown is going to make some awesome runs, especially if mccoy dings himself.
4. i disagree. also, he was only a disappointment the first half of last season. every other time, he's been solid.
5. lacy won't be too good, which, you know, who cares... however, he could be good for fantasy because he'll get fed the ball a bunch in the red zone. between the red zones, it's all about aaron rodgers.
6. alex smith, if available, should be your backup. he's going to have a great season. sleeper backup qb pick.

Wes Welker, WR (39)
Antonio Brown, WR (58)
DeAngelo Williams, RB (63)
Andrew Luck, QB (82)
Owen Daniels, TE (87)
Josh Gordon, WR (106)
Knowshon Moreno, RB (111)
Kenbrell Thompkins, WR (130)
Andy Dalton, QB (135)
Bilial Powell, RB (154)
Brian Hartline, WR (159)
Randy Bullock, K (178)
Dolphins, D/ST (183)

Your fine at RB though I am not jumping on the Steven Jackson wagon yet. Vincent Jackson is not a bad #1 WR but I like the other receivers around that group better.

I have been avoiding Deangelo Willams and Antonio Brown in every draft as I think they are going much too early. I consider them early round 8 picks at best.

Man you really reached for Moreno, I have a soft spot for him as he helped me win a championship last year but his ADP is 160. You have some inside info or something?

Anyways not the sexist team but with some work on the waiver wire to get better RB & WR depth it could work out.

Quick question, suggestions on who I should start in my flex spot? Standard scoring league. I was autodrafted so my options are limited.

Monte Ball, Giovani Bernard, Chris Givens, Pierre Garcon

Normally you roll with the best running back you have for flex, but I would actually go with Garcon myself. His foot is healed, and end of season last year even with injury still bothering him he put up good stats, and RG3 trusts him. Decent amount of upside, and with Ball and Bernard I would rather see what they do week 1 before deciding.

I need a flex suggestion.

Ppr league. -6 for fumbles lost. 3 wr and a flex.

Garcon, dez Bryant and Larry Fitz are my 3 main.

I got greg Jennings, James Jones, Kendal wright and Chris ivory.

Right now I have James Jones but Jennings is tempting since I see the lions as a better matchup. Other two guys are not ready for prime time.

Hmmm, with Andre Brown hurt, Wilson is primed for some major fantasy points. Kinda makes the choice harder

I was going to make the trade but after some thought I decided to hold off for now. David Wilson could have more potential trade value as a #2 RB is more valuable than a mid #1 QB, especially in a ppr league. Plus touchdowns are 4 points and I don't expect RG3 to run as much.

Thank god. RG3 for Wilson is absolutely horrible. You could get much more value for Wilson. I don't know what eits is thinking.

Id go with Garcon of those 4.

If Garcon stays healthy he could be a top 10 WR. He's super fast and has big play ability and great hands. It's not unheard of for him to get a 40 yard TD frequently. He won me the championship last year.

I had to take RG3 even though I didn't want to. Hope he doesn't get hurt.

Jennings is going in my flex this week due to the matchup. Although I'm not entirely sold on Ponder being even halfway capable, but my RBs suck so that's what I'm stuck with.

brown will come back somewhere around week 9.

find me a running back who's had as many points as rg3 did last season and i'll eat my words.

wilson will put up good numbers, but when andre brown comes back around mid-season, the numbers will diminish.

with no backup quarterback worthy of mention, it seems like a good trade in order to make eli manning the backup.

also, the trade really depends on what the other guy's team looks like, too. if he looks stacked enough and adding wilson will make him even more stacked, it probably wouldn't be worth it. however, if he is hurting that much for a running back and he's willing to give away one of the top players in the league for wilson, it's an easy decision.
