ffplayer_unknown Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Help me decide pls? I'm in a ppr league, and here's my WR/RB lineup: WR: Dez Bryant Antonio Brown Cordarelle Patterson Percy Harvin Golden Tate Kelvin Benjamin Josh Gordon (in hope that he will return) RB: Matt Forte Le'Veon Bell Andre Ellington Pierre Thomas Justin Forsett (who sank me to the bottom of waivers) I don't really have a tight end, since I had jordan reed but dropped him after the injuries; I could pick up Levine Toilolo or someone of similar caliber, but the owner of jimmy graham is offering me him and rashad Jennings for Matt forte and Kelvin Benjamim? Should I take the trade? All help appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooch420 Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 hmm. I thinks its good deal. I have J. Graham and was very disappointed last week because he was my #2 pick and got me 8 points. But I know he will come around, you giving up forte you still have bell so I would do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I would because Benjamin is unlikely to start in your team whereas Graham is an automatic lock at TE. Should survive losing Forte with the depth at RB, is it an 8 team league? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugbynoodles Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I'd go for the trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcat Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 definitely make that trade. You get what will be the most productive TE in the league. You don't need Benjamin and although it may hurt to lose Forte, Jennings should be very productive this season. thanks for answering mine.

ffplayer_unknown Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 Thx for the help guys, any more help would be appreciated though. I'm still trying to decide since i wouldn't have a real stud RB. It's a 10 person league; I killed it on draft day:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IrishPride Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Make the trade you have enough depth to survive and Graham is a definite start except for BYE week or injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECK Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 I'd do it. You have a ton of Wr depth so losing Benjamin won't hurt at all. Forte to Jennings is a drop off but it helps that you also have Bell and Ellington so it shouldn't hurt too bad. But having Graham is such an advantage over everything else because he is typically soooo much better than the next TE near him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotpimp Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Because of your other options you upgrade to Elite at TE, yes you give Forte who's a stud but Jennings for the meantime looks to be the every down back and goal line.. granted it is Coughlin and he is weird with his RBs... Jennings in my amatuer opinion has passed the eye test for the meantime and looks to be slated to have the bulk of the work (more than double the snaps of Williams). Lock in Graham and add another starting RB with a significant lead for carrying the team. Also getting another RB allows more bench flexibility/security and they are great trade-bate, I like Kelvin B a lot but sell high...

Skarzon Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Top TE production is a huge advantage and Jennings is a legit starter so the value of Jennings + Graham will outweigh Forte + Benjamin, especially with your depth at WR. I say take it and run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I take the trade? All help appreciated! I would think about this deal. you still would have 3 solid backs in Bell,Ellington and Jennings but you would become elite at TE. as far as the talent goes I think you are giving up slightly more. but for your team needs I think you are gaining. Plus you also have Pierre Thomas who is a very solid 4th RB.your WR's are nice and deep enough to lose Benjamin. I would dump Gordon myself and get someone that can give you flexibility the next 10 weeks when you are waiting for a guy to come back who you don't have any idea if he will fit into the offense at that time anyways.

ShuckCreations Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) I say take the trade as well. Jennings + Graham will make up the difference of losing Forte...If not more. Benjamin is fodder with your WR depth. He wasn't scoring you any points anyway. Graham will put up to WR numbers.

Koolclones Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Can't disagree. Take the trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffplayer_unknown Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 The thing is, I think Forte could be a top-3 RB by season' end, especially in a PPR league. I would lose him as a stud RB and would have 2-3 inconsistent RBs playing. I know Graham is a stud TE but I'd be much happy to trade away my 3rd or 4th reciever (e.g. Harvin) and Le'veon or Ellington for graham as opposed to sacrificing my clear-cut, locked in #1 RB. If anyone can fully convince me otherwise, then I'll take the trade. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluetooth Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Well like me I have a hard time thinking of giving up Forte or a first rounder but you are getting Graham who was a low first or high second rounder depending on your league and if its a PPR. I think with your depth at WR and RB's the trade would be great for you and you get a pretty consistent TE. As far as the WR/RB you have a lot of option for a week to week or head to head format. You might be a little bit weaker at RB but I think that Graham will more then make up the point week to week and over the season for sure. IMO Good luck.

Babalis1019 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Tough one... Like you said I would feel more confortable giving up Harvin or Tate with Bell or Ellington instead. Try that and see what he says! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satch Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I wouldn't do trade. If you need a TE you can pickup decent one off the waiver wires. TE are hit or miss with points from week to week unless you have one of the top 3. The TE would be you lowest output since your are loaded on WR. You trade your stud running back and you are very week at this position and could have potentially 2 spots with low points week to week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
