Remember PPR league 2/2/2Flex...

I'm offering another player Reggie Bush and Kenbrell Thompkins (less important) for Dez Bryant and Bryce Brown (also less important).

My top WR is Vincent Jackson. For RBs I have D.Martin, A.Foster, C.Johnson, (Reggie Bush), and backups of B.Tate and J. Bell.

His RBs are D.Murray, V.Ballard, (B.Brown), P.Thomas and scrubs. His WRs are (Bryant), D.Amendola, R.Cobb, G.Jennings, M.Floyd, D.H-bey.

Would YOU consider this a fair trade?

I think it is fair.

I would probably do it if i were the other guy, too.

I would keep Dez or insist on a less fragile RB. Love Reggie, but worry about him on the turf again.

Fair on both fronts and mutually beneficial.

I'd even do R. Cobb if he doesn't except D. Bryant. With Jennings' departure, he's primed for bigger numbers!

Definitely fair. Bush/Dez are second rounders

dunno, according to a guy in my PPR league:

reggie bush + bowe

for

Dez + Dmac

is completely lop-sided and I'm "doing it again" talking down to people and being all shitty car salesmany.


so I guess the OP should offer DMartin and Foster so that it's "more fair"

God damn, how did you get 2 first round RB's and 2 second round RB's?

This is a 2 keeper league and I kept A.Foster and D.Martin. In fact, I dropped R.Rice and D.Bryant from last years team. This league's owners have a tendency to go for WRs and top QBs as priority.

I got C.Johnson in the 3rd and Reggie in the 4th round. I'm fine standing pat, but would like to get a solid WR1.

Problem is, like Kash said, some owners think "fair" is 2 keepers for a 2nd-early 3rd Rd pick.

ETA: This draft was over a week ago. I actually picked up La'Veon Bell in the 8th round - but then dropped him after his injury.

I guess that it's fair, but I wouldn't accept it because I just don't think that Reggie will be that good. I think that people are over drafting him.

Just curious, but why? He's in the exact role he excels in.

Well, this is a PPR league and Reggie should put up RB2 #'s IMO. DET is a perfect fit for him.

That said, the team I proposed the trade to has little a RB. Going into the season with D.Murray and V.Ballard as your 1/2, Reggie has to be appealing. He'll outscore either of those guys by 50 points.

I wasn't thinking about ppr. He'll definitely be better with that.

He's just the type of player that I would rather avoid. He's going to miss at least a few games to injury, and while he'll have his share of good games, he is prone to throw up goose eggs on occasion even when he is healthy. The guy gives me a headache in fantasy.

Okay, you don't like Reggie in fantasy.

What if same scenario, replace Reggie with Chris Johnson for Dez Bryant (considering your RBs are Murray and Ballard).

Wow.

In PPR, I would try to keep Reggie and trade Chris Johnson if you want to upgrade at WR. But really, you probably don't need to worry about trades - that team should win the league going away.

I offered Reggie figuring he would be more enticing. I like both Reggie and CJ this year.

I hope you're right. I do have bad luck in this league though.

Those just so happen to be 2 of the rb's on my avoid list. I would have taken them where you got them, but I wouldn't have taken them much higher.

I think that Chris Johnson is more enticing than bush because he has established elite production in the past.
