Just traded Dion Lewis for Lamar Miller and Vincent Jackson

12 team PPR.
The guy offered me Miller and Jackson for Keenan Allen and Lewis initially. I laughed at that, then he came back with both of them for Lewis and I immediately accepted. That's a pretty good trade, right?
I know Lewis is a top 5 back so far, but I haven't trusted him enough to start him yet. Belicheck just worries me with how he uses them. I feel like Miller will turn it around and Jackson gives me some WR depth.
My team is now
Ryan/Newton
Miller
Randle
A Brown
Julio Jones
Keenan Allen
Ertz
With Morris, Matt Jones, A Robinson, VJax, Hillman, Stevei J on the bench.

Was it a bad trade? Not necessarily.
Would I have made the trade if I were you? No.

yet you're comfortable with the way the Dolphins continually under utilize Miller?
jackson is a non factor on your team because you'll likely never start him over any of those guys in your top 4.

Why would you do that?
Its not the fact that you got rid of Lewis. Its the fact that you gave him away for way less than you should have.

But two of those have byes the same week, including one of my bench WRs, so I will need two WRs to start that week.
Posted on 10/1/15 at 1:53 pm to rballa19
so you brought jackson in for the one bye week?
I could understand wanting to sell Lewis high (I wouldn't) but understandable....I just don't think you did that here. If a WR was going to be included in the deal, I'd have wanted one with some trade value, VJax doesn't really have that. So its essentially Lewis for Miller....meh.

Miler isn't performing poorly, he's be under utilized so far. The Dolphins are throwing 72% to 28% so far this season. That will eventually start evening out and Miller will get his. It's not like it's a RBBC in Miami.
FWIW, I doubt the Jets will allow Tannehill to throw all over them forcing the Dolphins to run the ball this week. I don't like Jackson but Miller >>> Lewis

Honestly I am more comfortable with Miller than with any Patriots RB.

This has just become an ignorant narrative at this point. Lewis has dominated the snaps and touches, with and without Blount. There's also no one on the roster to threaten Lewis' defined role each week.
IMO this wasn't selling high, more of a gamble on your part. It could work out greatly or completely backfire.

I traded Lewis for Moncrief in a 0.5 per reception league, BilJ
Thoughts on that?

well I don't know your roster make up MWG!
Posted on 10/1/15 at 2:27 pm to rballa19
I've given up on Patriot RBs so I don't blame you for looking to trade, but not sure you gave yourself anything that is much more reliable in the trade. Would have looked for safer points.

I do everything in a vacuum
I have sufficient enough RBs...
Who would you rather ROS in a 0.5 per reception: Moncrief or Dion?

unless I was hurting at WR, don't think I make that deal with those cats. I'm still not a randle believer.
RB scoring is ugly so far, not sure I'm parting ways with a lewis yet.

Just for reference im about to trade doug martin and spiller for miller. You could've gotten more for lewis, even though I think miller ends up turning it around.
Posted on 10/1/15 at 4:17 pm to Keeble9145
I'm counting on a Miller turn around also, think its at least a few weeks away though.
