Would you trade Roddy White for Lagarette Blount and Julio Jones (or Percy Harvin)?

You high?

No, but my rb's are weak. I got Moreno, Deangelo Williams, Jon Stewart, and Pierre Thomas. I'm hurtin for a rb. This guy has Hillis and Charles too. I tried for Hillis and Blount but he balked. Blount scares me this year. Maybe Charles, or Hillis plus Harvin?

I think Charles and that whole Chiefs offense was helped greatly by Weiss and won't be the same without him.

If you have depth @ WR, sell the farm to get Hillis or Charles. Blount is a gamble. He might get you 20 points one week, but only get you 4 the next.

Yeah, and its not like he is a great talent. He runs hard, but lacks game breaking speed, or moves. I like the fact that he doesnt really split carries, and gets the goal line carries, but that could change I guess.

I'm sure that had an effect. Like with Blount I like the fact that Charles doesnt really split carries or goal line ops.

I'm in 4 leagues, but in my money league I have Hillis and Forte. Beyond that I'm a Bears fan, I have them for the fact that I know that those two are getting 95% of the goal line carries. That's huge in fantasy.

Give a good WR to get a good RB. WRs are a crapshoot. Fantasy games are won and lost with RBs.

Thats my thinking. I may ask for Hillis or Charles rather than Blount, but this guy likes to over value his own players, and under value others.

Well it is best to come out with the upper hand in a trade...

I'm also in a scoring league. No points per reception, which further limits a WR totals. Its strictly yardage and TDs.

I counter offered Maclin and Moreno for Blount, I cant see trading a top 3 WR for a 10-15 RB, and a 20-30 WR, regardless of need. I would trade a WR2 and a RB2-3 for a RB1. Hope he goes for it.

I'm glad he wouldnt budge on Charles. LOL

As for Blount he confirmed my suspicions that he would have a big game. Roddy White was quiet (for him) again with only 6 points. Hopefully they even out. Hope I dont regret turning him down. I am happy he turned down my counter as Maclin had a huge game for me.
