Cubby4 Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) Hi, I'm in a standard 10 team league and I'm looking to trade for Josh Gordon. Any advice on who to trade to get him? My Team: QB: Stafford RB's: Foster, Lynch, Ellington, Ivory, J. Bell, T. West WR's: Nelson, Boldin, Decker, Randle TE: J. Reed, O. Daniels His Team: QB: Newton RB: Lacy, Bradshaw, J. Hill WR: A. Brown, Maclin, Gordon, Marshall, James Jones, D. Adams TE: J. Cook, Quarless Edited November 11, 2014 by Cubby4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DbWell004 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Maybe Ellington? Strrrraaaight up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P2Nation21 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Maybe Ellington? Strrrraaaight up absolutely not. Ellington has been a top 5 fantasy rb this year and Gordon has a ton of upside for the remainder six games but not taking that big of a gamble on him. Thats obsurd.

robotpimp Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Might be hard to trade for Gordon if Marshall isn't performing and tweaked the other ankle, you're trying to get a guy that is a hot pickup and either was held onto for next week which means this guy has been waiting for the day to play Gordon or trade him.. I think it's the wrong guy to trade for.. steal Marshall away from him for West and J.Bell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DbWell004 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 If he's got Foster and Lynch and this is standard 2rb he's always gonna be on the bench. Barring foster being hurt. His wrs other than Nelson are awful. He's got running backs to burn. Ivory and the Jets have the most favorable playoff schedule in the league sir. So yeah. Gamble is worth it. Nows the time to burn depth for a championship imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nows the time to burn depth for a championship imo I'm with ya, Ellington has been ok but he hasn't been anything to write home about.. it's very risky for picking up Gordon but if he pans out you're playing him no matter what, I'm cool with Ellington for Marshall or Gordon as well, nice take! Let us know. Edited November 12, 2014 by robotpimp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nows the time to burn depth for a championship imo Standard leagues also have a flex position so you can play all three stud rbs at the same time and that's exactly what I would do if i was in his position. If your going to gamble for Gordon, make it logical. Throw up J bell and Randle and see what happens, chances are you'd get him for that or a little more but gambling with a top 5 position player could be the type of move that costs you the championship or a playoff game.

DbWell004 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Ellington isn't top 5. He's 7th or around there. Look I'm just saying you can play it safe and hold your depth or you can go for a roster upgrade at another position while losing a player with depth around him. It's all about what type of player you are. Also not all leagues carry a flex. I'm in standards with no flex, not sure if the OP rolls a flex or not.
