I've got Thomas, Adams, Ridley and Lamb in a 12 man league.

My RBs are CEH, Mckinnon and Ingram. Only other person in the league with a decent RB position that needs WRs has Carson, Henry and Jones.

It's full PPR and I think I could only get Jones or Carson.

Would yall give up one of the top 3 for Jones/Carson straight up? If so, who?

Thomas worries me with Brees to be honest, leaning to trade him but thinking maybe trying to go after Henry and throwing Ingram/Mckinnon in that one.

I would trade Ridley out of those 3. Try to package Ridley and Ingram for Jones if you can get it. Thomas is going to be a PPR monster when he gets back.

I like that, thanks man. Hopefully Ingram has a decent game tonight.

You like Jones over Carson?

GB offense does looks nasty this year.

I disagree. Obviously it sommes down to how the trade partner will view this trade, but in general the gap ROS scoring between those three is smaller than the gap in trade value between those three.
Now, if he can find someone that values Ridley appropriately then yeah he should ship him.

pretty confused on what you mean? You disagree but said ship Ridley out at the end?

So hang with and roll heavy with WR in the flex and have a risky RB2 or what?

Keep the WRs. Stash the handcuffs. New RBs are popping up every week. You’re good enough there to get by for now

Ridley has no fewer than 10 targets and 110 yards in each of the first 3 games and has been a touchdown machine since the ink was dry on his first contract. You're looking at the potential WR1 this season. I wouldn't be so eager to ship him off. If I was selling on anyone from that group it would be Thomas. He still has the name value and draft capital value but you can't look at the Brees throwing the ball this season and think that Thomas isn't in for regression.

If it were me though I'd hang on to all 3. I got 39.9 from James Robinson and Myles Gaskin this week after picking them both up for $0 in FAAB waivers. Backs will emerge and sink all season.

Kind of my thought process as well with Thomas.

I still think Mckinnon is going to be good enough for 10 pts/week if he stays healthy, even with SFs crapshoot situation.

Problem with our league is its standard waiver (which sucks arse) and I'm 2-0 with top points, so dead last on the wire and haven't been able to grab anyone.

I do have Cam Akers too and maybe he comes along at some point this year.

I'll see what he says and maybe sit tight. Ridley has carried me so far.

I would roll with what you have and stay put.

How did you end up with Adams Thomas and Clyde

Auction draft and wound up with Ridley, Cooper, Adams and Clyde. Also picked up Dak and Murray for fairly cheap early with my nominations. I tend to throw QBs up early in auctions so I can stash them while guys hoard money for the big names.

When Thomas got hurt, offered a guy who had Brady, Dak and Cooper to get Thomas.

People were sleeping on Ridley and Cooper in our league so they came pretty cheap. Heck, I think I got Adams for like $41 which felt like a steal. I think* Ridley went sub 30.

This year was crazy with the lack of RBs.

I would trade Thomas. Ridley is WR1 right now in fantasy and I don't think his production is a fluke. He had a good first two seasons and is breaking out in a big way this year in an offense that will lead the league in passing attempts.
