PPR league.

I would be giving Tate and Britt for Calvin Johnson. That guy has Foster, so I figure this might entice him to ensure he had the handcuff.

Do you guys believe in Britt?

Who are your RBs?

Tate is a top 10 RB on weeks Foster doesn't play...and it seems like FOster missing time will be a common occurance

I could not do that...while I believe CJ is legit as they come. Foster's injury seems like it could linger and I do believe in Britt.

If you are deep at RB, may as well do it.

It's a lot to give, but CJ is a lot to ask for.

Well, I wouldn't do it with your RB core. Rice is legit and Beanie is playing well now, but Hightower won't be the starter by mid season (IMO). Giving up Tate AND Britt is too much for Calvin IMO. Britt is a WR1 right now.

Figure for my sake it's going from Britt to CJ...since I have the 3 guys mentioned (Rice, Hightower, Beanie)...and Addai is actually my 4th RB. Not great, but as RB4 I'm happy with him.

Britt is good, but Calvin is better.

Do it. Like you said, it's basically Britt for CJ. Tate is a good rental, but Foster will be back eventually.

Actually think Hightower will continue to do well. I don't put too much stock into Helu's 2H last week for two reasons (just my opinion)

#1 Shanny likes to ride the workhorse...Obviously Helu can completely pass Hightower in the depth chart, but I don't see it happening

#2 Most of Helu's yards came as Hightower was tired after 20 touches in the 1H, and the defense was pretty beat after getting owned in TOP.

I'd probably do it. Maybe try to get some type of RB back also.. like a lower tier guy just for insurance.

Worst case scenario is that Foster goes down permanently and Tate ends up being a top 10 back, but that's an unknown at this point and Foster could end up playing 13 games and Tate being not much of a factor.
