So I made a trade this week of Ellington, Allen, and Andre Holmes for Jordy Nelson and Frank Gore. Leaves me with Murray, Forsett, Gore, D. Robinson, and B. Brown as my RBs and Green, Nelson, Watkins, and Wright as my WRs. Good trade?

Great trade for you. Forsett has been putting up points, so has Robinson so that softens the blow of losing Ellington. Nelson is such a massive upgrade on Allen and Holmes.

Made a trade yesterday, keep in mind this is a Dynasty league (we carry over our whole roster to next year)
I sent AJ Green, Cordarelle Patterson, Tre Mason, and Jordan Reed and I received Sammy Watkins, Ahmad Bradshaw, DeAndre Hopkins, and Chris Ivory.
My other TE is Jimmy Graham, other WR's are Gordon, Michael Floyd, and Cooks. My other RB's are Bernard, Lacy, Forsett.

Need a quick reassurance here, as I have a trade awaiting my approval. We did some back-and-forthing, but this is what I'm pretty sure I'm about to accept:
- I get: RB Shane Vereen and WR Michael Crabtree
- I send RB Antone Smith and WR Alshon Jeffery
I realize I'm probably sending the more valuable WR away, but I also have Desean Jackson and TY Hilton as my starters, so I think I'm OK. I have abysmal RB's, in fact, my 2 starters got me a combined 3 points last week. So needless to say, I'll even accept a low-end RB that Vereen seems to be.
Thoughts?

I don't know...I don't think I'd pull the trigger on that. I think you are selling Jeffrey at a low point, he can and should play much better for the rest of the season. Who are your other RB's?

Zac Stacy, Tre Mason, Isaiah Crowell, Pierre Thomas.
My 2 starters totaled 3 points this last week and have been horrible all year. I've got good WRs, so I could afford to ship Alshon just to be able to get some sort of point production from a RB.

I agree you need to upgrade at RB, that's pretty rough. I just think you can do much better than Vereen if it's Alshon you are offering up. You should be able to get an Ellington, Forsett, Ivory, Gore, Lamar Miller type. Maybe you've already tried and can't find a dance partner and if so then maybe Vereen makes sense. What is your record? If you are looking good for playoffs I'd hold off on the deal for now.

Ya I'm in desperation mode at 2-6, just trying to make anything happen. I posted a message to the league two days ago that I'm looking for a RB and am willing to part with any of Desean/TY Hilton/Alshon depending on the return. This is the only offer I've received.
Started the year with what I thought would be my strength, AP and Stacy as my RB1/2. Oh how that hasn't panned out...

2-6, yeah you need to pull the trigger then. You pretty much have to win out.

That's exactly it...would never make that trade if I was in contention, but I need to do something. This should add a few points/week I'm hoping...but alas, I will still fall short.
The good news is my division is the weaker of the two and I actually only need to catch someone who is 3-5. One can dream...

I may pull off another win this week. My opponent only has one QB on his roster (Tony Romo.) If Romo doesn't play or plays extremely poorly I will improve to 4 and 5.

Odd that your opponent wouldn't pick up another QB with Romo maybe not being able to go.

Maybe he feels sorry for me and wants to give my pathetic team a chance at winning this week. He is in first place.

He probably thinks he can find a replacement starter off free agents in case Romo doesn't play so he can carry more RBs and WRs on his bench instead of a backup QB.

Yeah, chances are he's waiting for Sunday morning to make the move.
I love how some guys think they can psyche you out by benching their entire team until 10:52 on Sunday morning. I'm going to kidnap the one guy in my league Old school style on a Sunday morning at 9:30 just to teach him a lesson.

In my regular league I have Delanie Walker on his bye. I picked up Owen Daniels, but he is listed as a game time decision (and Baltimore plays the sunday nighter)
Top available TE's that are playing this week.
Niles Paul, Lance Kendricks, Timothy Wright, Daniel Fells, Clay Harbor.
Im leaning towards picking up Kendricks, he doesn't put up many receiving yards, but has 4 TD's in his past 5 games.
Other options would be waiting to find out what happens with Daniels and if he cant go, I could pick up Fells and hope he gets more targets the Donnell, or I could pick Gillmore who would likely be the starting TE if Daniels cant go.

Tim Wright, you know it'll be a Brady vs Manning shootout today, Gronk likely sees double team so Wright should be open.

He ended up picking up Flacco for the game today. He is going to get destroyed.

That is gross.
I'm 6-2 in my main league. Agreed to trade Romo + Sanders for Brees + Decker.
Right now if playoffs started I'd be going with:
Drew Brees, AJ Green, Kelvin Benjamin, Terence Williams, Le'Veon Bell, Arian Foster, Jimmy Graham
