Would you trade Reggie Bush for Ray Rice? Thanks

I have been offered a trade I give him AJ Green for Ray Rice What do you think? 6 points for a TD for either WR of RB Standard points

First round of playoffs. I have three top 5 rb's and two are facing horrible defenses while the other one is facing a tough defense but the new OC is involving him more and more. I have Lynch and Martin in but Rice is a guy that burns you when he is benched. The hip injury is what makes me want to sit him. Am I right in doing so?

QB Carson Palmer Ben Roethlisberger RB Ray Rice Ahmad Bradshaw Marcel Reece Bryce Brown WR Roddy White Victor Cruz Randal Cobb Danario Alexander Cecil Shorts TE Brandon Myers Greg Olsen D/ST Cardinals K Matt Prater Hey guys, just looking for some thoughts on what to do here...12 Team standard scoring ESPN league starting 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1FLX, 1DST, 1K. I'm in 7th place with a 5-6 record....need these next 2 wins for the playoffs. I've been back and forth on who to start between my RB's and WR's cause I'm having trouble leaving Alexander on the bench given his past couple of weeks and with Cruz not doing too much for me the couple weeks before his bye. Cobb has been pretty solid for me as well so I'm considering starting White and Cobb and placing Alexander in Flex over Cruz. In RB was planning to go with Rice and Reece over Bradshaw as long as McFadden and Goodson don't play. Any thoughts....suggestions?

To start with, here's my lineup: QB: Luck RB: Doug Martin RB: Ray Rice WR; Julio Jones WR: Brian Hartline WR: Jordy Nelson TE: Scott Chandler FLEX: C.J. Spiller D/ST: Vikings D/ST Bench: Joe Flacco Bench: T.Y. Hilton Bench: Brandon LaFell Bench: Martellus Bennett Bench: Danny Amendola Bench: Jaquizz Rodgers Bench: Kevin Olgetree Bench: Andre Brown Bench: Pats D/ST Bench: Coby Fleener I'm 7-0-2 (but our league started two weeks late, so all teams have two ties) or undefeated. I'm guaranteed a spot in our playoffs (which start the 15th week and run until the 18th). So, I'm planning for the future, but not just the immediate future. This is also a first year dynasty franchise with a bunch of school buds. So it's important that I win this year's Superbowl, but not that important if it means trading rookies for retiring players to win. With that being said, I want to know your guy's opinion of: Ray Rice and David Thomas (really just Ray Rice) for Reggie Bush and the Chargers D/ST. I want Reggie Bush, but a healthy Reggie Bush. I also have a thing for Ray Rice; I've had him for all my fantasy leagues since he joined the NFL. I think that Reggie has a more favorable match up during the playoffs. Below I've listed my players match ups during the playoffs for your guy's convenience: Ray Rice - Denver Broncos (15), New York Giants (16) and Cincy Bengals (17) Reggie Bush - Jaguars (15), Buffalo Bills (16) and New England Patriots (17) Chargers D/ST - Carolina Panthers (15), New York Jets (16) and Oakland Raiders (17) First I'll clear the D/ST need. I've got the Minnesota D/ST playing the Rams week 15, but after that, they're expendable. I've also got the Patriots playing the Jaguars week 16, which I like, and the Miami Dolphins week 17. I feel rather unsure about the Patriots ability to keep Reggie in check that game and I fear Hartline will burst onto the scene once more. The Chargers on the other hand play a nonexistent Jets offense week 16 and the Oakland Raiders week 17, one of the worst run offenses this year and statistically skewed on the passing game due to their inability to preform on the ground. It's not an immediate need, but it would be nice to have nonetheless. The want to discard Ray Rice stems from this. Ray Rice will most likely be benched week 17 because the Ravens WILL clinch their division despite an off year in my opinion. That means I'll probably only have him against one of the better run defenses and linebacker cores (the guys who cover the running back), the Denver Broncos. That's week 15. Week 16, I've got a very favorable match up, maybe too favorable that they'll start putting in the 2nd string running back, because the New York Giants don't have a stingy defense by any means. Reggie Bush on the other hand is more of a risk, but during playoff season, has a huge roof of potential. The Jaguars actually have a pretty decent defense, but I can't see it being too tough for Reggie to handle. The Bills will prove to be a fantasy highlight for Reggie week 16 and week 17 against a rising Patriots defense will also be a minor setback, but there's more possible worth than Ray Rice right now. Oh, and second stringer defensive match up possibility for Reggie Bush here also, since the Patriots will undoubtedly clinch. It just looks better for Reggie on the basis of match ups. But here's the other stickler. I've got this team till all 16 members quit. This is a dynasty, franchise and next year, I want to do even better (undefeated and no ties due to late drafting). So, will Reggie Bush be fantasy relevant next year after the Dolphins have tried replacing the spot with Lamar Miller this year and Daniel Thomas last year. Seems to me that he is going to be pushed out. It's a young team and year-by-year they'll get better. Reggie is there to stay, but for how long [and only if he can stay healthy]. As I finish writing this, I'm even more towards declining this trade. I'll post it anyways to get an opinion.

I currently have three RBs, McFadden, Ray Rice, and Reggie Bush. I need to pick two to start for this week. Assuming Reggie Bush is at %100, which two RBs do you think have the best matchups this week? In other words, which teams have the most threatening run defenses, the Browns. the Broncos, or the Cardinals? I'm personally thinking that with their momentum, the Cardinals are the biggest threat, though according to Yahoo Sports, Denver gives up the least fantasy points to RBs out of the three.

Who should I run as my two RBs this week? Should I go with Michael Bush against the Rams, Reggie Bush against the Jets, McFadden against Pittsburgh, or Ray Rice against New England? And if I were to drop/trade one RB from my team to make room for another receiver, who should it be?

I need help/advice bad! I need a upgrade at RB and "I got a great trade in mind that might work"... I want Ray Rice and I'm trying to send Jamal Charles an DeSean Jackson and or (a decent RB an another decent bench player "WR") for Ray Rice, my question is should I do this? I just don't know what to do should I upgrade the RB position or upgrade another position? Is this a bad trade for me and who wins this trade? Here is my team... Stafford QB Johnson WR Jackson WR Charles RB Sporles RB Hernandez TE Garcon WR Moore WR Moeaki TE Gerhart RB Broyles WR Ingram RB The other team! Rivers QB Green WR Marshall WR Turner RB Rice RB Gronk TE Bush RB Johnson WR LeShoure RB Flacco QB Winslow TE Jones WR Branch WR This is a 12 team League! http://football.fant...oo.com/f1/37357
