My RB situation is garbage. Have CEH, Mckinnon, Akers and M. Brown.

WR: M. Thomas, Adams, Ridley and Lamb.

The only two other teams in a 12 team league with 3 solid RBs are:

Team 1: Sanders, Hunt, Mixon

Team 2: Jones, Henry, Carson

Which WR should I shop for a RB? Leaning on Thomas for Mixon or Jones.

Thoughts or should I be looking to move Ridley? He's been rock solid minus last week when he was obviously hurt and Jones was out. I don't think Lamb has done enough and I think Adams will be great when he's back.

Is there another trade partner out there. Mixon doesn't have too many good games like last week.

I'm actually in almost in the same boat as you. 12 team 1.5 ppr with a superflex.

My RB's are CEH, Mike Davis, Malcolm Brown, D'Ernest Johnson, Le'Veon Bell, and I just picked up Justin Jackson to see how he handles.

My receivers are Calvin Ridley, Chris Godwin, Jarvis Landry, Russell Gage, Scotty Miller.

I tried to trade for Gaskin yesterday, goofy fricker expected me to give up Ridley. I'm just gonna roll with it and see who shakes out on my RB's. I'm scoring well enough at every other position. With the way injuries are, I'm okay streaming.

Michael Thomas might not be a bad idea though. I wouldn't touch the a-hole in a trade, but somebody may take him.

I think I could pull possibly pull Jones, Carson and Mixon. Maybe Sanders.

Just hard to love any of those besides Jones or Carson.

Mixons usage is one of the best in the league. Now they are targeting him.

Not to say he’s a Top 5 ROS, but he’s your best value buy if you can reasonably trade for him. I think he can be RB10 or better by the end to the season.

Agree, he put up 15 on Baltimore.

But of those WRs, is Thomas the one you would shop? Feel like Ridley could land Mixon at this point.

Any thoughts here guys? Struggling with letting Thomas go based on last year but really really need a RB.

For Thomas I think I'd only do Henry, Carson or Jones.

But with Ridley or Adams, would you go for Mixon, Sanders or Hunt?

As a Ridley owner, I wouldn't give up Ridley for any of those three. They'd have to throw in a low-end WR2.

I'd give up Adams for Mixon or Sanders right now.

Fair to say you'd keep Thomas vs those other RBs?

I also have E. Sanders and he blew up nicely last night. Think he still might be decent with Thomas getting all the coverage when he's back.

I might trade Thomas. I wouldn't count on Sanders to continue his production when Thomas comes back.

I know the argument is that RB's are more valuable than WR's, and yes, that's true, but that's a bad reason to overtrade for an RB. Ridley is the #3 WR in my league right now, and he's consistent. He got shut out in week 4, yes, but otherwise he is putting out WR1 numbers. My WR2 is Godwin or Jeudy.

The fact is, Ridley will score more points than any of those RB's this season. If someone wants to offer me an RB for Ridley, it needs to be an RB with some consistency, and if he's not going to score as many points as Ridley week to week, than I need a WR2 in that trade also.
