trade proposed to me. I give gore for julio. I am leaning towards no because that leaves my rb situation in a cluster frick, but i love me some julio.

12 team 1/2ppr

Stafford
Bush
Gore
B Marshall
Dez Bryant
Chris Givens

Bench:
Gio Bernard
Bradshaw
Shane Vereen
Michael Floyd
Cordarelle Patterson
Kembrelle Thompkins

I think you need to keep your backs

In a heartbeat... if your running backs weren't so crappy. I'd leave it on the table til after this week of games and then re-evaluate. Maybe BGE gets a high ankle sprain or something or Vereen goes HAM... who knows.


With that said, if I were Julio's owner, I think I would be able to get a little more for him. So if you think you're a better salesman than he is, considering making the deal and fielding offers. Something to think about.

Starting lineup of Marshall, Bryant and Julio would be AWESOME!!

I would gamble and roll with Bush and Gio.

I think gore has a solid season, and your running backs are terrible, so as hard as it is, would have to pass

Dez, Marshall and Julio are 3 of the top 5 WRs!!! Starting all 3 will will produce enough points to compensate for the weakness at RB IMO

You've got 2 top 10 guys at WR already, but I can understand where you're coming from. You may be able to make up the points, with those 3 starting weekly. Here's my two cents...it's either a Julio game, or a Roddy game. Your call, but I don't like the running backs you would then have to work with.

2rb 3wr league. I think the advantage of having 3 stud wr in this setup is pretty big due to the drop off in production from the top 5 wr.

I figured Bush would be a solid starter in a 1/2ppr format.

It's tremendous value, but you aren't really in position to take it.

I would make the trade. Gio Benard is going to become your starter anyway. Chris givens sucks

Do it. He's by far the more desirable asset.

You can make due with bush, bradshaw(will start) Vereen and Bernard. You then have a ton of assets to possibly land a really good rb or if Vereen, bush, bradshaw are hacking it in ppr you're set either way.

Gore is 30 years old with an extensive injury history. Make this trade yesterday.

It's a hard trade to pass up but I think I would have to pass.

I would do it in a heartbeat. That three headed monster would be a sick. And if all else fails, you could always turn around and trade him for a better RB than gore.

Why would you pass?

Julio and the best producer out of vereen/bradshaw/Bernard is significantly better than chris freaking givens and a 30 year old running back. Gore isn't a top rb, the difference between him and the other potential tial rbs isn't nearly great enough to justify not making the MAJOR upgrade at wr3

Vereen is going to be a major weapon in the passing game for NE. He has Sproles like potential this year. It's not a traditional power roster the OP will have but it doesn't mean it won't win a lot of games and contend.

id do it in a second. gore may be a good back but jones has the potential to be the best wr in the league.
