robwhart Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Folks I'm 7-1 so I'm now playing for weeks 15/16 pretty much. I got a chance to get Calvin Johnson/Cooks but I have to give up LeVon Bell. It's a PPR league so he could be $$$ down the strech. I'm not banking on Watkins putting up huge numbers all season and the chance that Gordon comes back as a top 5 is risky. I think I could roll with Charles/Murray at RB and start 3 WR's and put up a good fight. my roster QB Rivers RB Le'Von Bell RB D Murray RB J Charles WR J Nelson WR S Watkins TE - ugly streaming bench J Gordon/LaFell/A.

Finn5033 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 (edited) Yes I would do that. Bell is a stud but he doesn't score TD's. Murray and Charles is the combo you want. I like the trade, it would be a shame to have any of those RB's on the bench when you could have a stud like Calvin Edited October 29, 2014 by Finn5033 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhurley19 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 If you can play 3 rbs at a time i would not do that. RB's are more valuable in my book and i think lafell, watkins or Gordon will def be able to hold up that. If you could get a descent TE with Calvin then i might do that.

Footballjoe Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Could you play 1 RB and 4 WR if either Murray or Charles goes down and on bye weeks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn5033 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Could you play 1 RB and 4 WR if either Murray or Charles goes down and on bye weeks? What is the sense of having Leveon Bell on the bench? If he can't flex him than getting Calvin Johnson for him would be a smart play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robwhart Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 I can play 3 RB's or 3 WR's in the RB/WR flex. I've been killing with all 3 backs when they hit. With Johnson coming off the injury and bye he could be doing what Golden Tate is but with TD potential. I'm obvously taking a gamble here. I guess the question here is who's more likely to be healthy weeks 10-16... Bell with a heavy workload or Johnson after sitting a few weeks. Thanks for the thoughts!

If you can play all 3 of those RB's than I would keep all of them for sure. I only thought it was a good trade if you couldn't flex one of them. This way you have yourself covered for Murray's bye week and in case of injury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubdaddy Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 So are you saying you start 2RBs and 2WRs with a WR/RB flex spot?...assuming this is the case it looks like you would be left too thin at RB...only carrying 2 RBs is too risky if you have to start 2 per week...You don't need another WR in that deal so Cooks doesn't help you at all...you would need to get a RB and/or TE instead of Cooks....
