Ver monster Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I just traded J. Gordon and B. Oliver for A. Green (pending league approval). I'm hopeful that A. Green's toe injury heals, but I realize this trade carried some risk with it. Not looking for a pat on the back, but honest reactions to the trade. We start 2 RBs and 3 WRs- this is my team when trade goes through: QB: C. Palmer, N. Foles RB: A. Ellington, A. Bradshaw, J. McKinnon, T. Mason WR: B. Marshall, A. Green, G. Tate, B. Quick TE: D. Allen K. C. Catanzaro DST: Dolphins BE: 1 empty I was willing to give up Oliver because I have some options at RB. This also helps me with bye week maneuvers if Green can come back healthy. Did I overpay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeus69 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 The Browns don't have anyone near Gordon's talent on the current roster, and I think Shanahan will find ways to get him the ball when he returns. I just feel he has the BOOM potential to push someone through fantasy playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ver monster Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 Thanks for replying. I was struggling with bye weeks as well. I made the rookie mistake of having multiple players with week 9 and 10 bye weeks. This trade helps with that, but I think you might be right. The more I read about green, the more I second guess this move. Oh well, we will see. Any other reactions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taknuout91 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Gordon is the man. Holding him in 4 of 6 leagues and trying to trade in a 5th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ver monster Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 Doh! So far 2 out of 2 think I botched this one up. I feel like I have made some ok moves since losing ap but this one might have been a mistake. I make myself feel better when I realize I have turned 2 waiver wire pick ups into aj green. Just need him to get healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gallagorilla Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 i like it for you. more certainty with aj than gordon, and like you said, oliver was riding your bench. nice work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
