LEAGUECHAMP Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Like many this season, I took a chance on MSW and was greatly rewarded.............however, I still feel like I'm living on borrowed time with this guy due to his injury history. I know that Forte is exactly tearing things up, but I'd like to take a chance on a "buy-low" RB that has the talent to improve. Mike Bell is just riding my bench at the moment and is hard for me to start unless I know PT is injured. I've tried sending MB to the PT owner in my league but he's not interested. This is a standard-scoring (6pts for TD's and 1 pt per every 10 yds) league. Any thoughts? Would you do it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davegroel Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Sorry but i think that trade would weaken ya. Your wideouts aren't that good. MSW was a missed pickup for me but i think ya cant try to guess when an injury is going to happen. What if you trade him and then he ends up being a top 5 WR for the year. Forte isn't doing all that well. I think Jackson is better than him just not gettin the scores that he should. So I don't really like the trade.

Also, the Saints are gunna keep going with the three headed monster as long as its working and notice that when Bell is in there he runs harder than Thomas! Meanwhile Forte just can't get anything going! I have him and am greatly dissapointed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, he mentioned a valid point. Your WR are not amazing and MSW may turn out to be a garbage yardage pro due to Jacksonville sloppy play. However, with Cutler in town and the offense opening up, Forte may not be the best fit for this team. They should have kept Benson. Watch as Benson teaches them a lesson this week. Forte is the type of back who get's better the more carries he gets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEAGUECHAMP Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 Good points about MSW guys. To answer your question, yes we can start a 3rd RB at the W/R Flex spot. I was hoping to be able to replace MSW with either Gonzo or Schilens, which is obviously a stretch. So with that being said, pass on this one? I appreciate ALL the advice. Leave a link if I can provide any input on your questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take the trade, you will have 3 big RB names that could produce any given Sunday... new/hot WR's breakout weekly. Much eaiser to grab one of them than a RB. Depending on your record and bye weeks, i'd go for it and make the trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
51Butkus Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Forte looks like fools gold at this point. Stick with Sims and Bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
