Trading to do some risk Mitigation

[Ray_T 588]

David Johnson got hurt.

 

I need to do some dealing to mitigate some risk.

 

This is a 12 team keeper league (keep 3) with standard scoring (no PPR)

 

We start 2 RB's and 3 WR's.

 

My RB's are:

 

David Johnson-----> injured

Jordan Howard

Paul Perkins

Mark Ingram.

 

My WR's are:

 

Diggs

Crabtree

Demaryius Thomas

Agholor ------> waiver wire add

Amendola ----> waiver wire add

Zay Jones----> rookie

 

Having just added Agholor and Amendola, I think I have enough depth that I can Trade one of my starters for some help at RB.

 

Player A has the following:

 

RB

Devonta Freeman

Samaje Perine

Doug Martin

D'onta Foreman

 

WR

Jordy Nelson

Moncrief

Devante Parker

Allen Robinson -----> injured

John Ross ----> rookie

 

I was thinking of making a pitch for Doug Martin.

 

As it is, Perine isnt doing much for him

 

I won week 1 he lost week 1, and with nobody capable of starting his second RB position, he may be 0-4 before Martin returns to the fold.

also, his WR depth is not as good as it should be. I can afford to lose 2 of the next 3 games if it turns out that way. but I dont think he can.

 

so I was thinking of offering:

 

Demaryius Thomas and Mark Ingram (or Paul Perkins) for Devante Parker and Doug Martin

 

First question, should I do this?

 

second question, What are the chances he will accept this?

 

third question: do you see any better alternatives?

1. I would do this before AP gets more involved. Also I think Parker should have a good year and will not be much of a drop off from DT.

I would try to make the trade, prefer to get rid of Perkins.

 

2. Parker has not played yet and neither has Martin so they hold high value. Your offing a Rb in a 3 way committee. Low chance 5%. If I were them I would just wait for Martin to come back.

 

3. I think this is a bad trade partner, u both want a legit rb2.

I agree with Byrdman5. He needs a #2 RB too. Plus taking DThomas out of your line-up will hurt and Martin isn't enuf to stop the pain.

Wouldn't make that trade.

 

I'm still not sure what to expect from Parker, everyone seems to think he's going to be a top ten wr because of Cutler, Cutler!

 

And there is no guarantee that Martin isn't going to be coming back to a RBBC himself just like the one Ingram is in.

 

And because I do think that will be the case I'd rather keep Ingram and Thomas.

 

Great question thanks for the post m
