My team is going to shite. I had both Rice and Peterson. Here is a trade that was offered to me. I give up Cobb and I get Keenan Allen and Ridley. Here's my team standard scoring.


This is my team:

QB: Jay Cutler, Ben Roethlisberger
RB: Adrian Peterson, DeMarco Murray, DeAngelo Williams, Asista (Vikings), Forsett
WR: Randall Cobb, Vincent Jackson, Pierre Garcon, Mike Wallace, Tavon Austin
TE: Jordan Reed, Dennis Pitta
PK: Nick Folk
TD: Denver Broncos


ETA - Now he's saying that I can pick between Allen or Alshon Jeffery.

No, don't do it.
Leaves you with a terrible WR group.
Yeah, you lost AP but you have Asista, so it isn't a total loss.

I wouldn't. I would actually try to upgrade at WR. Maybe shoot Cobb and Jackson for one big stud.


I think you are ok at RB since you have Murray, Asista and Forsett. Ridley isn't that much better than those guys. Not worth giving up Cobb.

See if you can buy low on an AJ green or a stud for both Cobb and Jackson

That's a good trade for you IMO. Allen has gone against tough defenses in week 1 and 2 and did decent. Once the schedule opens up look for Rivers to be throwing TDs to him instead of Gates. Plus, Ridley looked fine last week getting the bulk of the work. Screw that fumble BS. He will get points

He has Alshon Jeffery should I try to get him and handcuff with Cutler?

The guys above me disagree but I think you need to be looking for a reliable RB2 instead of a WR. Murray is fine, but I don't think that Asiata and Forsett will give you the production that you seek long-term. Asiata has a soft rush D schedule coming up the next few games with the Saints, Falcons, and Packers (22nd, 26th and 31st in rush yards given up respectively). Let him shine for a few games and then move him. By that time it'll be clearer whether or not he's the option for them long term given the split in carries.

Your WRs are fine with Cobb, VJax, and Garcon. Garcon will do better with Cousins at QB as well.

All just my opinion though. None of us can predict the future.

You take that all day! Cobb won't continue to put up the same numbers and K Allen has huge upside. Ridley is icing on the cake and helps with RB depth. Go for it!

Go for it Allen will get more targets with Matthews sidelined for a while. Ridley will help with depth but will be up and down depending on what Rb is hot. If he has another back look into it
