I know Coleman will take some snaps away from Freeman but I am hurting at RB because I drafted CJ Anderson

I have Currently have:
Justin Forsett
CJ Anderson
Karlos Williams
Antonio Andrews

Problem is Brandon Marshall is my only consistently reliable WR:
Brandon Marshall
Calvin Johnson
Allen Robinson
Leonard Hankerson
Doug Baldwin


Do I Have enough at WR to piece it together to make this trade?

Counter with Allen Robinson

if he says no, then you have to make a decision.

Wouldn't do it. Freeman cannot sustain this pace. Fitzpatrick and Marshall are clicking. Your running backs aren't great but they should be ok when karlos comes back and you have to assume mega will pick it up here shortly.

I don't need him to sustain the pace, I just need him to be somewhat reliable. I mean I am staring at Forsett as my best RB right now

Karlos will lose touches when Murray returns, CJ Anderson just flat out sucks. My only hope would be that Andrews somehow gets a prominent role

There's your problem. I did this exact same trade in a league, but I was set at WR and I also had T Coleman. For me, it was worth it. For you, maybe not.

how big is the league ?

value kinda depends on that.

for instance in a 12 tm league, i think you could maybe get away with Allen Robinson. But no shot in a 10 team league. Calvin johnson, on the other hand, is going to be hampered by his OL most of the season it looks like. Maybe you could nab Freeman and another player of of his for Calvin.

i wouldnt trade Marshall for Freeman, but I would try and add Freeman.

And freeman will lose at least 8 touches when Coleman comes back. It's not a good trade given your current situation imo.

I don't see a problem with trying to add Freeman, not for your wr1 though.

looks like is best receiver is Steve Smith who is hurt

he also has Hilton, Cooks, Cruz, and T. Austin.


So his WR situation isn't great

Blah, not very good trade pieces. What's your record like? If you're 0-4 and your team looks like this... It may be time to shoot for high potential guys after this week. Martavis, Matthews, Maclin, DeSean, Devante, Rishard, Tevin, Matt Jones~

Definitely keep an eye open on the WW. i.e. Pick up Ahmad Bradshaw before he gets signed, etc. that kind of thing. You can still make it as evidenced by my 2-2 to 2-7 to 9-7 run to win it all last year.

You mean, when he says no. This trade is doo doo. Freeman may not last, highly likely, but a guy coming off 6 TDs in 2 games is worth more than Blake Bortles top target.

Poo, your RBs stink. Forsett is good, but if he is your 1, you won't make it too far.

Sometimes you just pull the trigger on a crazy trade. I think you should do it. Atlanta's offense looks to be very good this year. The Oline has gone from terrible to one of the best in the league. It's early, but Freeman is the #2 overall RB in my leagues. You have to sacrifice a good player to get a player who can potentially score multiple TDs a game. Those guys win you titles.

2-2

I normally get a good waiver wire pickup every year, I am making a couple transactions every week. Last year it was forsett. I have always been a waiver wire guy over a trade guy but it just seems like the free agent pool is shallow this year. It is still pretty early though

Hmm... I think I might sit if I were you. If you're going to trade away Marshall, I'd rather try to get a underperforming WR1 and a okay RB2 than just Devonta. Maybe you believe in Devonta though. You're in a tough spot. Forsett is going to be good though so don't worry about that slot. Mega had a good game minus the freak fumble. I don't know... It's up to you haha.

I just gave up Amari for Gurley when my WRs afterwards now are Maclin, Mathews, Tavon, SSS so maybe I shouldn't be giving advice Pick up Ahmad though...!

I could try and trade for one of his running backs and Steve Smith Sr. for Brandon Marshall and one other player
