Trying to get Calvin Johnson

[Smack]

Is my offer of Roddy White and Sproles fair in a 10 Team non-PPR league?

 

The trade would leave me with

 

RB Gore

RB Rice

Flex Cobb

WR Calvin Johnson

WR B Marshall

 

The only RB depth on the bench would be injured Mendenhall, Rashad Jennings, and Gore/Rice handcuffs.

 

White has outproduced Calvin Johnson to date, should I just keep him and the depth that Sproles provides?

I wouldn't do it. It leaves you pretty exposed at RB if there is an injury and I'd think White and Johnson will finish the year with the same amount of points from here one, with White likely to have more if the trends continue. If anything I'd trade one of White/Marshall for a RB upgrade/depth if you are looking for a move.

I wish you were in my league. I'd love to get rid of Calvin.

 

I'd keep what you have though.

It's a decent offer. Have you had any back and forth with the other owner? I'd start with a lower offer, but if it came to it, I'd pull the trigger on that. I think there's a pretty good chance Johnson rakes from here on out. He's still getting a lot of targets, the TDs just haven't come.

No way in hell I'd get rid of those guys for CJ this year. Matt Ryan is having a hell of a year and is sure to keep feeding White. And god I wish I had Sproles on my bench. That's awesome depth there.

Same here. I'm the all time worst at first round picks. I drafted Chris Johnson with my first last year. Ugh.

I'm kind of worried that Ryan (who is my QB) and White, etc wont be playing in Week 16 because they're going to clinch a playoff spot in November. Oh and I've got Gonzalez too. They've been good to me so far!

 

I posted the trade offer and left it up all day with no response so I took it down. I'm going to sleep on it.

Eh, I don't see what's so bad about the trade. It's kind of a pointless trade, but I don't think it makes you any worse. Having Sproles on the bench doesn't matter when you have Ray Rice, who isn't going to miss a game. Gore might miss time, but you have his handcuff and Mendenhall who will be back by the time Gore misses time (if he does). With most of the bye weeks going off the boards, now is the time to make a 2-for-1 or 3-for-2 type trade, if you can get a star player in return. The only issue with this trade is even if Calvin blows up to last year's norm, he isn't going to be that much better than White. If you have a hunch that Calvin will get a bunch of those 16 TDs back from last year and White will fade to the clear #2 behind Julio Jones, then I'd do the trade. But if not, I don't see the point.

Damn. Sproles broke his hand.
