Did I get trade raped or no?

10 team standard (6 pts for passing TDs)

I traded Ivory and Russel Wilson for Bortles

My other RBs
Gurley
D. Williams
Miller
West
Hill

I'm 4-5 and 2nd (by 10 or so points) in points, but in 6th place in the league. Need to get up to 4th for playoffs.

Background: nobody trades in this league. I've been trying to peddle an RB for a WR or QB for a while now.

Sorry if typos, typed this up with my phone.

I'd have aimed a little higher than Bortles. But, he does seem to consistently put up decent numbers.

If it's a 10-team league w/ 4 spots, you likely have 5 more weeks before playoffs (10-14 regular, 15-16 playoffs).

You panicked. Unless it's a free league and no one else gives a shite about their team, you had tons of ammo with those RBs.

5 bench spots, most people hold 2 QBs, so there isn't much on the wire.

Oh well... At least now I don't have to worry about who to start as much as I would have.

The other guy got a great deal, but since you think Bortels is an upgrade from Russell, you improved your team slightly. With your RB's, Ivory wasn't helping you much.

I disagree. Bortles is an upgrade over Wilson. You don't need Ivory.

Eww. Bortles is playing pretty well, but I don't think it's worth it. I guess you aren't going to hurt too bad at rb with your depth, assuming deangelo is the williams you listed.

It'll work, but with the 6 points for TD's I would have tried to trade one of your stud RB's for a top 3 QB. You definitely didn't get raped though, you upgraded at QB and weren't going to use Ivory

He's got 5 of the top 20 backs ROS:

Gurley
West
Ivory
De'Angelo
Miller

So much ammo with 5 weeks left for him.

I think you could have done better than Bortles. He's an upgrade, but you can't look at it solely that way. Opportunity cost matters.

Romo wasn't available on WW?

I personally would have kept the RB depth with all the injuries, but if you feel that you came out on top, then . Not terrible, not great.
