I'm going back and forth on who should start between Morris vs GB or Sproles against TB. Reggie Bush gets the RB1 spot right now as it's the CP PPR settings. I have Sproles in right now because it's a PPR but I do think Alfred Morris will get a lot of touches today.

Yahoo fantasy not working for others?

Well after benching Kaepernick for Vick last week, I feel slightly vindicated for making the exact same decision this week. 80+ points for Vick and Jackson have me set up pretty well.

So as the commisioner in one of my leagues, I have this situation:

There was a trade proposal up since about 7:30am this morning, involving Ahmad Bradshaw in a fairly even deal. Problem is that the trade was accepted right after the Trent Richardson deal, within 5 minutes.

Whats the call here.

[kermitology]

It's a done deal. If it happened later today or tomorrow, does that change anything? No.

So you dont think both parties should have a chance to pull the trade down after the Richardson news?

It went from trading Eric Decker for a starting running back in Bradshaw to trading Decker for a backup running back now.

No, like I said, this could have happened any time and they still would have had to live with Richardson becoming the starter. Sucks, but that's fantasy. Like when I traded for Spiller last year and he lasted half a quarter before getting hurt.

Yup, I don't see any issue regarding the trade.

If the deal was agreed to before this trade went down, you have to let it happen. It's no different than an injury.

Maybe I'm not explaining it right... It wasnt agreed to prior to the trade, it was afterwards. Before, I would completely agree to it, crappy luck

7:30 am > Trade proposed at (Ahmad Bradshaw for Eric Decker)

4:00 pm > Trent Richardson traded

4:10 pm > Fantasy trade accepted

My question is if the quite literal 10 minutes is a little bit unfair to the one who is now stuck with Bradshaw or if he should be granted the ability to pull the trade off the block.

The real life trading of these calibre players mid-season is fairly rare, so I havent come across this situation before

[Sylvanfan]

Well....Bradshaw will still be the feature back this week, and still figures to get some carries.

Two years ago I drafted Peyton Manning in the 4th round of a fantasy drft thinking he was out 2-4 weeks. 10 minutes later, a notification pops up that he's out at least 8 weeks possibly longer...Buyer beware.

[Sylvanfan]

What about this deal...Someone wants Ray Rice from me and offers up Eddie Lacey and Jordy Nelson. It's not great, or even good. But I have Starks, and Finley already. So it would get me a lot of Rogers weapons, although not the one I want in Cobb.

I have a bad feeling about Rice this year...too many seasons without much injury, and I think the Ravens tight end situation and no Boldin to compliment Torrey Smith. Add in Pierce who looks like a more dangerous back at times to take touches away and I think the time to trade Rice is getting near. Maybe not today, but if it sounds like he'll play come Thursday maybe then? I think I should shop him at the least.

[DropIt]

Thats a lot of bye weeks, but I agree with you that owning Rice doesnt feel as safe as it used to. Bernard Pierce worries me after his playoff performance last season and looks to have picked it back up this season. I think that will eventually be phased into a Rice/Pierce tandem soon which is too bad for Baltimore after signing that new contract last year.

No one knows how long Lacy's conky will keep him out, big risk there

Well I have a QB dilemma again this week. Vick or Kaepernick? Vick was outstanding last week, but Kap might have a better matchup.

[Da_Chief]

I'd say Kaepernick at home against an Indy D is a better play for ya.

[SportsJunky]

Plus I think SF is po'd about last week's performance. I wouldn't want to line up against them this week.

I'd agree that it's unfair considering he didn't accept until right after the trade happened. Obviously the seller would have taken it down if he was able to get to his computer first.

Calvin Johnson for Jamaal Charles? Would you do it?

Depends on your roster...

How deep is your WR and RB?
