Chasewilliams222 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Hello All! I'm new to this game, but it seems like I have already caught the bug. I'm already pretty obcessed with following players and thinking of potential trades before the season starts. But like anything I am new to, I need to learn how to do this and what is best, and I have had experince using forums like these to help me figure it all out. Teach a Man to Fish I guess. So Here are the details I assume you need. I can provide any other info if needed: My Roster: TONY ROMO (QB) MAURICE JONES DREW (RB) ROY HELU (RB) ANDRE JOHNSON (WR) AJ GREEN (WR) JARED COOK (TE) JORDY NELSON (FLEX) FALCONS (D/ST) MATT BRYANT (K) -----BENCH------ BEANIE WELLS (RB) ROBERT MECHAM (WR) SANTONIO HOLMES (WR) LANCE MOORE (WR) FELIX JONES (RB) LAGARETT BLOUT (RB) MATT FLYNN (QB) Its a 12 team league. I have a few trades proposed. Someone wants to trade my Beanie Wells for their Michael Vick, which I think is good. With this pending I have made an offer to pick up Greg Jennings for my Tony Romo if I decide the Wells/Vick trade is legit. Let me know your thoughts, I'm very willling to get addicted to this and get dedicated to get a good team ASAP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 If you can parlay Beanie and Romo into Jennings and Vick, I'd say you are off to a great start. Your next order of business will need to be to then swing one of your two Packer WRs into a legit RB2. Then you'll be solid. Also, you need to get a better backup QB. Flynn may not even be the starter. Pick up Jake Locker if he's out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasewilliams222 Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) Would Reggie Bush be a good RB2? If so he is being offered up Also, there's a player in my league who has Marshawn Lynch, and he's relatively inexperienced at football in general, would it be a good idea to try and fool him into taking my two bench WRs for Marshawn?

MTSuper7 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Meh... You can do better IMO. But some people might like Reggie Bush that much. I just think Miami is going to be terrible this year and that Bush won't hold the primary job all year. See if the Doug Martin owner is interested in Jordy. Other RBs you could consider are Ahmad Bradshaw or maybe try to upgrade TE at the same time by trading Jordy and Cook for something like a Vernon Davis and Willis McGahee combo. You definitely need a better RB2 and TE and you have WR depth at your disposal to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still learnin the ESPN system but I think I can get Doug off of waivers Edited August 26, 2012 by Chasewilliams222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Doug Martin shouldn't be on waivers. If somehow he is, grab him and drop Flynn. You can worry about getting a new backup QB later. Also, you can make any offer you want, but even inexperienced people won't likely give you something for nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasewilliams222 Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 Doug wasn't on waivers. I made an offer for a trade for him for Jordy. But if I can get Marshawn for my two bench WRs would that be good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasewilliams222 Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 Are you sure I should give up Jordy Nelson for a RB2? He seems more useful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 He wont be that useful on your bench though. If you really like both Packer WRs, then try to trade Andre Johnson for an even better RB. Or trade Jennings instead. Either way, you need to turn one of those WRs into a RB2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Against Machine Rage Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 I like Lynch if you can pull a deal. He's a RB1 and has a favorable schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chasewilliams222 Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 Someone's offering me Owen Daniels for Santonio Holmes, good idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
