Fantasy Football Trade Question?

Question

I like the way my fantasy football team is shaping up. However, I feel I have weak starters at RB. I am thinking of trading Brandon Jacobs or Rudi Johnson along with another player for a top RB. My roster is below. Any suggestions to which RB I should trade? What player I should package with them? Lastly, what RB should I try to get?

QB Peyton Manning*, Ind QB

RB Clinton Portis, Was RB

RB Brandon Jacobs, NYG RB

RB/WR Rudi Johnson, Cin RB

WR Larry Fitzgerald, Ari WR

WR Santonio Holmes, Pit WR

TE Todd Heap, Bal TE P

D/ST Giants D/ST, NYG D/ST

K Stephen Gostkowski, NE K

Bench Roy Williams, Det WR

Bench Selvin Young, Den RB

Bench Joey Galloway, TB WR

Bench Ahman Green, Hou RB

Bench Jeremy Shockey, NO TE

Bench Matt Leinart, Ari QB

Bench Jabar Gaffney, NE WR

Answer 1

I agree, you need a big time RB. Your WRs are pretty nice, and I think you can make some moves with your top tier recievers and still be a top team.

Look to trade Fitzgerald and Shockey - you can try for a prime time RB this way.

You'll still have Santonio and Roy Williams + Todd Heap (I think Roy is a number 1 this year).

Also recievers are very inconsistent, even the best. RBs are what make the league.

You can try for an AP or LT type player, but maybe a brian westbrook or steven jackson, you can use Roy Williams + Shockey.

Answer 2

Shockey has very high value right now because of his trade to NO. I would package him, Roy Williams or Santonio Holmes and Rudi Johnson for a top tier rb like Addai or Gore and a 2nd or 3rd tier WR with upside (think a Reggie Williams/Roddy White/Lee Evans type)

Answer 3

i would probebly trade rudi johnson for frank gore of the san fransico 49rs only beacuse i dont think rudi will get mutch action with the recievers the bengals have plus the coach of the 49rs coached marshel faulk and look  how good he is and the 49rs coach is planing to turn gore as good as faulk

Answer 4

magahee,addai, gore, i would trade rudi and leinart think about lamont jordan he was going off last yr whenthe season started now he is with ne pats easiest schedule this yr i see him getting goaline carrys  

Answer 5

Rudi, Heap, and someone else for a any top 5 RB

(Bengals throw the Ball, Shockey will make more catches than Heap)
