Giving up Rodgers, D. Brown, P. Thomas, Washington & Bennett

Getting Charles, Bowe, Floyd & Olsen.

Leaves me with Fitz at QB then Charles, BJGE & F. Jackson w/ Green, Lloyd, Bowe

Seems like I have to pull the trigger right?

uhhh..... i'm hanging on to Rodgers right now. GB started w/ 3 pretty tough Ds. They're about to go off. & I'd feel very uneasy w/ Fitzy as my QB.

that's what I thought originally but then doing the math, the upgrades everywhere else were so much that I don't die with the loss of Rodgers. Plus now I have the depth to swing a deal for say a Roeth or someone similar.

I was definitely not expecting this reaction but it's good for me so that I keep looking at it

Is Olsen an upgrade at TE for you?

well nobody knows how anyone is going to finish the year but what do you need to see out of Charles to trust him? We're dealing with a small sample size sure, but that was one telling game.

If you were gonna redraft right now, tell me you wouldn't take Charles before Rodgers? Obviously he won't do that every week, but we don't know shite with anyone outside of Rice, Foster and normally McCoy so I'm thinking going with the highest upside guy outside of that group is the move this year.

Vs. probably the worst defense in the league.

If QB points are 5/6 I'm still taking rodgers over charles.

You downgrade at QB, upgrade at RB, and downgrade at TE. Why not try and swap rodgers for rice/foster?

Foster can't be moved and I missed the Rice trade earlier this week because I was asleep and didn't hear my phone.

McCoy's owner won't move him either.

All the stud RBs are locked down. This was the only one I could get in play.

With QB play being so strong farther down the ladder my thinking shifted to filling out the RB and WR position with elite players and depth so I could trade later for a QB or TE.

The way our league has played out this year, there aren't many teams with any sort of strong RB or WR depth and people will have to scramble come byes or injuries. Might be flawed thinking but all I've had time to do lately is think about this shite

I would make the trade, but you will definitely need to make some subsequent deals.

don't know if it matters but I have a choice between Nicks or Bowe if that changes any opinions

Sit tight until next week.

Let Rodgers go off against the Saints, then fill your needs accordingly if you want to deal him.
