I'm thinking about giving up Shonn Greene for Matt Forte. What do y'all think?

I like a bounceback year for Forte. Probably lots of receptions w/ Martz at the helm if in PPR.

Greene will have to deal with 8 in the box until dirty sanchez proves himself more, but damn his O line is awesome.

I'd probably make the trade, but real iffy on it.

PPR maybe

Non-PPR, meh... I'd hold Greene, although the Jets O needs work.

Will Forte be the Marshall Faulk of the Chicago Bears? Possibly.

How many touches will LT usurp from Greene? Quite a few, IMO.

It is a PPR league and I also think Forte will have a bounce back year. I'm also a little superstitious with Forte, because I have had him on my team since entering the league.

If you are ever not sure about two FF players, take the guy on the best team. That means Greene......

I don't trust Forte, because I think Chester Taylor will be getting more carries than most people think. frick RBBC.

Dont do it. Green>>>Forte right now. I like Forte to have a good year, but your talking about giving up a 2nd rd pick for a 4th rd pick.

Wrong. Take the guy on the best offense. Both guys will be splitting some time with back ups, but Forte will out score Greene in a PPR league. Plus, LT will take more touches away from Greene than Taylor will from Forte.

Mike Martz raises Forte's value IMO.

You should try and get another player out of the other guy for Greene, cite their overall value and draft position

greene is going to have a big year. I think forte is going to end up giving alot of touches to taylor. heck, taylor is alot better than forte period so he may end up stealing his job.

Taylor fits Martz system much more than Forte does. I fully expect Taylor to have the lion's share of the catches. The rushing yards are obsolete in this offense too btw.

No way I would make that trade.
