Trade advice

[brett]

ESPN standard 10-team league.

I have a dicey RB situation, mainly for my second running back. Other players aren't doing well such as Newton and Dez so far. I have Lynch as my main RB, but only have FJax and Tate as viable options as second RB. I have Calvin, Dez, and Maclin as primary WRs.

Would you consider trading Calvin for Jamaal Charles and Vincent Jackson, assuming the trade could be made? I am also considering trading Tate to the Foster owner for Welker.

Thoughts?

Jamaal Charles was an animal for me Sunday , he looks to be back 200%.

I stick with your team, it looks fine to me & should only get better.

FJax and Tate as viable options as second RB

What's wrong with that? IMO that's not bad at all going forward.

Thanks. Yes, that's definitely an option. The concern is that FJax may not be a consistent producer week-to-week with injuries and Spiller in and out of the lineup. Plus Buffalo has a tough schedule coming up. Tate is obviously not a weekly play unless Foster is hurt.

The Foster owner has already asked about a trade for Tate, but I've held off figuring that Tate would become more valuable as the season progressed either if Foster is hurt, in which case I'd hang on to him, or as insurance during a playoff run.

I took a chance with Newton this year and I think the bottom line is that he needs to produce or I'm probably in trouble regardless of what I do. However, I gave it some thought to see if I could maneuver the team into a better position.

Vincent Jackson hasn't really been putting up solid numbers so far. I guess it comes down to who will get you more points C Johnson and Fred Jackson or Jamal Charles and Vincent Jackson? I'd stick with Johnson and Fred.

Calvin is such a bad ass.

Indeed he is. Okay, it sounds like I should ride it out.

I picked up Balil Powell, Tashard Choice, and Hawkins on waivers yesterday. Hopefully, those guys can help at some point.

Thanks again for the help.
