In a standard scoring league, what kind of return would y'all be satisfied with if you had to give up Forte? I'm worried he won't last all year, and now might be the best time to sell high. I'm thinking about a straight up trade for a WR1 like Allen Robinson or a similar WR1. My other RBs are Miller, Freeman and Ware so that position is thin, but loaded, and my WR1 is Cooper followed by a bunch of WR2s.

I like where your head is at. Green would be my top target followed by Robinson. Don't think the Julio, Beckham, or Hopkins owners would deal straight up because they drafted so high.

The Gurley and Peterson owners are probably panicking, may be able to cut a deal with them

Dude looks like he's in his prime all over again.

I think he'll continue to ball for the next couple of weeks at least, but there's no way he can repeat 30 carries for 100 yds and 3 TDs in a single game this season. If I'm trying to sell high and I think this is the best time to do it.

Bills were missing their best run stopper too.

If someone will bite for Allen Robinson I think that is the way to go.

I think you could target a low end WR1. Allen Robinson would be a good target. Jordy, Evans, etc.

Just find someone that has a RB need and also owns a WR you want and make the offer.

I didn't see that at all. He looked pretty slow to me. The Bills D was total garbage most of the game. At one point Forte was like 15 carries for 30 yards or somewheres thereabout.

*BUMP*

Just received an offer of ARob for Forte.

They also have Kelvin Benjamin, DT88 and Brandon Marshal. Their RB depth took a big hit losing AP this week. Is it too soon to sell Forte?

Do you sell high (forte) to buy low (Robinson)

It'd sure be a lot easier to decide if I knew what I was getting vs what I'm giving up. That was probably Forte's best game of the season, and ARob could have just gotten off to a slow start. I haven't been paying attention to the Jags to find out what's been holding them back.

It doesn't look good, the offensive line is a sieve

Is Kelvin Benjamin a better fantasy WR than ARob at this point?

If you're going to take on Robinson, you need to parlay Forte's hot start into another play

you currently have a bellcow in league where that is extremely rare and you want to trade him for a position that isn't really a need for you? If your WRs sucked, I'd say go for it. Try to get to get Powell for cheap if you're so worried about forte holding up

or get a 2 for 2 if you insist upon selling forte. You aren't really loaded at RB with freeman looking like he's in a timeshare with coleman getting the redzone looks in that timeshare and ware on his way out.

Yeah that's why I'm so hesitant to pull the trigger. All I keep hearing is Forte is over the hill and he's second in touches at RB behind DWilliams. Don't know why I think trading him for a WR makes my team better considering any player can get hurt at any time.
