My running backs suck. I've got Leveon Bell, Trich, Spiller, and Vereen. I have Julius Thomas and Jermichael Finley. I was using one in flex when my wideouts sucked. I now have Roddy, blackmon, josh gordon, and torrey so I won't be flexing the te's anymore.Looks like I can swap finley for Doug?

Hate to lose the depth there, but that's an auto-accept correct?

Yea Doug is doing ok. If someone accepts that they are a fool but yes I would take Doug.

Are you saying Thomas for Martin?

If I'm the Martin owner then I would decline that and give you the finger.

Naw...he already told me he would take finley.

Spiller has too much potential. He needs to get his head on straight and the bills need to use him correctly.

If that is what he is dangling then you quickly accept that.

Forgot to mention it's ppr so Finley is actually averaging a few more ppg at the moment. Also, the bucs qb situation is bad, so stacked boxes might be a problem for Doug. I know finley can be injury prone and drops can be a problem, but I also know he's motivated since this is a contract year. That's why I asked. I'm doing the trade though rb is the weakest part of my team. I've basically rebuilt the whole team.

PPR makes it a bit more even. But comparing it points to points isn't the way to do it. How many more points will he get you than the rb who he replaces in your line up? Even going against stacked boxes Martin has more value because a rb who is the focal point of his offense is getting to be a rare thing in this league.

Yeah I know. I went through with the trade because the trich/spiller combo is killing me (in addition to roddy worrying about his consecutive game streak ). Just dropped vereen for Charles Clay to get my depth back.

I am just blown away that people would make this trade. Martin is a 1st round pick playing like a 4th rounder, but he is still a RB and the #1 option for his team. This is an easy trade. Surprised people aren't crying foul.
