Sitting at second to last because I'm getting nothing out of my WRs. 12 man league, .5 PPR.

Traded D Murray and K Allen for A Brown and A Morris. Did I make a mistake?

New starting lineup:
P Rivers
L McCoy
A Morris
A Brown
P Harvin
M Bennett
T Kelce

I tried trading McCoy but best offer I received was McCoy for Roddy White

You could have easily gotten both of those players for Murray and it seems you could have used Allen. Bad trade IMO.

I could be wrong but personally I think Murray ends up getting hurt in the next month. I think he's just been getting too many touches.

That being said, I think you could've gotten much more for that trade

Terrible. Some dude in my league just traded Murray for Gio and Jeffery last night, and I thought that was bad.

You were offered Gio & Jeffery for Murray???

If so, you should take a long hard look at that

I agree. I would have jumped on that probably. I'm on the side that feels Murray will have some sort of injury in the near future though.

Two other people in my league.

Why? Gio Bernard just had his first run over 10 yards this season on Sunday. He seems to be great in fantasy so far, but I am a little concerned.

There is nothing like a guy who puts up a steady 20 points.

Nah, the team that got Murray had five start able receivers, so he made out like a bandit.

Even if you think Murray gets hurt, what about Gio? He hurt his clavicle in the last game. Not a one way street.

Yeah, you just can't trade your best player bc you think he's gonna get hurt. He seriously degraded his team bc of that.

I thought Joseph Randle looked pretty solid as well so I just handcuffed Murray. Helps ease the mind about all the carries he is getting.

It would be very difficult to get me to trade Murray. Let's say he gets hurt.....well if he's out a few games he is still back to rock and roll in your playoffs.

Touche. I'm just of the opinion that if I can get a RB1 and a WR1 for any other RB1 that it's a good deal. Depending on the team of course. If I'm already stacked at WR with two top 5-7 WR's, then I most likely wouldn't do it either.

Maybe. Jeffery is fringe top 10. Unless the team with Murray has nothing at any other position, then I am not a fan of the trade.

I hope that everyone keeps talking about how fragile Murray is. Maybe I'll be able to draft him in the second round again next year.

I would have tried for better than Morris, but you did ok. Murray has a history of being injury prone, but that really doesn't prove anything. If he goes down, you'll look like a genius. If he goes off, you're going to feel bad about it.

sounds like your receivers were doo doo.

you essentially gave murray up for brown...could be worse, but he should've given you both of those for murray alone, or given you someone better than morris since you threw in allen (even if he is garbage).

I got short changed on luck, but I had brady on the bench...your lineup is good though. Harvin is healthy and it's only a matter of time before he comes on

I think you could've gotten more... Or given less (minus Allen).
