I'm hurting at RB and needing to make a decent trade. I have Doug Martin, Terrence West, and Joique Bell along with AP at running back. At WR I have B. Marshall, Fitzgerald, Mike Wallace,Keenan Allen, Pierre Garçon, Kendall wright and Josh Gordon stashed. PPR league.

Good trade for you, especially PPR. You've got WR depth, win-win fair trade.

Man, Keenan went off later last year and the guy who had him torched everyone. Bradshaw available? I think T-Rich era is on the way out in indy. I believe they just added another RB to their roster.

Yeah Bradshaw is but who do I drop....Bradshaw isn't equal to any of those WR's

Thanks for the responses!

Keenan is a low-end WR1. He's had/has the unlucky task of playing Arizona and Seattle his first two weeks, but he's still being targeted. Once he is out of this stretch, I have to imagine he will start to match what he did last season. Dude is in a elite category when it comes to getting separation and running crisp routes.

I would almost see if the other owner would bite on a Fitzgerald for Ellington trade before I go offering Allen.

If applicable, who is your TE2?

EDIT: though it can be argued as 'risky,' there are plenty of people that roll with one QB. I suppose it depends who your QB1 and QB2 is, though.

I'm an Ellington owner, I wouldn't take Fitz for him. If I was deep at RB and needed a WR, Allen for Ellington I would consider even though he stunk it up last week. It's a fair trade, especially given his WR depth...he can't play them all. Ellington has a chance to be special and this trade could end up looking really lopsided by the end of the season.

I wouldn't take Fitzgerald for Ellington, either, but it is probably worth offering that before Allen and see if the owner bites.

I guess, if you have to. I'd try to trade Keenan for someone else though. Or wait and see what happens to AP (unless its a keeper league.) My initial thoughts are that the NFL can't do anything right at the moment, so more than likely, AP will receive a 3x lifetime ban from anything with the letters N, F, and L.

He didn't bite on either Fitz nor Allen....countered with Brady and Ellington for Stafford. It's enticing but my gut says not a win for me.

You may have to wait a week or two for those guys to have some decent games and sell high. I think SD offense will be good, they just ran into two really tough d's early on. The way Zona throws the ball around, Fitz will have a few big games.

You could look to buy low on a Zac Stacy or Doug Martin owner if you think they will turn it around. I would probably hold and reevaluate in a couple of weeks. Be patient, it's a long season.

If ellington stays healthy then he could be very good in ppr. I think it's a fair trade.
