Here is the trade proposal:

He's offering:
Bobby Rainey
Riley Cooper
Michael Floyd

He wants:
Frank Gore
Eddie Royal

My roster looks like this:
QB: A. Luck
RB1: Marshawn Lynch
RB2: Frank Gore
WR:Kendall Wright
WR:Eddie Royal
WR:Greg Jennings
TE: Jimmy Graham
DEF: Seattle

My Bench:
WR: Marvin Jones
QB: Big Ben
RB: James Starks
RB: Roy Helu Jr.

I started the year kicking arse and taking names, but lost Reggie Wayne (ACL) and Justin Blackmon(Dumbass) for the rest of the year. Right now WR is like a black hole for points to me, and my chances at a playoff spot are slipping because of it. What do ya'll think? Will losing Gore's production be made up for by Cooper and Floyd.

It would suck losing Gore's points but I'm quickly sipping with the lack of WR production.

If i don't accept this trade, yall got any ideas of potential trades i could make to others to pull in some decent WRs?

TIA

Damn. That's like the worst WR core (corps?) I have ever seen.. but I still wouldn't give up Gore for the garbage he is offering you.

Yeah and it sucks so much dick because the rest of the team is fricking stacked(imo). I've had 4 weeks where my three WR's have a combined less than 10 points....

I'd lean towards doing it. Rainey has a favorable schedule and cooper is playing well too

I can't believe I'm about to suggest this.. but I would find the Vernon Davis, Julius Thomas, or Gates owner and see if they want give you them plus a solid WR for Graham.

Interesting. I drafted Cooper, Floyd, and Gore (obviously, not in that order). I dropped Cooper way back when for lack of production. Floyd has never started for my team and hasn't done much until last week. I also lost Foster and Julio Jones, so Gore is the only one of my top three picks still on my roster.

Thank goodness I have Gore. He's been incredibly consistent and ranks 7th overall among running backs in my league's scoring. Not bad considering where I drafted him.

This is my thought on the trade proposal: DON'T DO IT! Keep Lynch and Gore in your backfield and you should have a chance every week.

Better plan--offer Ben up for a wide receiver. Try the guy who has Kaepernik.

I've never suggested it before.. but your WRs are so God awful that a mid-TE1 plus someone like a Garçon or DJax will outscore Graham + your best WR.

I would do what I could to keep that RB tandem. At least don't trade Gore unless you get someone more established than the flavor of the week Rainey.

I actually agree with PhiTiger... Only if you can get one of the higher end TE back though to pair with a good wr. It's all about total pts scored and that pairing will do you better than what you have now
