Could you provide the source of these top ten rankings list? Some of the lists have seen have Thomas Rawls as a top ten running back and there is no way he is better than Anderson, at least not this year. As for Marshall, He's old, he's a has been and I have never liked him as a player. I was just interested in Hopkins. No one else is worth giving up Anderson for, in my opinion. I will just keep him.
was your offer to me a "lets see if he's stupid" offer? cause no way marshall is worth Benjamin AND freeman, even if what you think about marshall is true and with freeman's semi lack luster performance so far....
Marshall just had a 17 point game. He's a top 10 WR going into the season and hasn't done anything to dismiss that notion, after having a top 10 season last year. Anderson laid an egg last year, and has only had 2 solid games so far this season. The sample size wasn't enough for me.
It was a starting point, but it wasn't that bad. Who knows if Benjamin can handle being the number 1 WR there and can outplay the top CBs in the league. Freeman is a bust (he was very mediocre the 2nd half of last year), and is already in a timeshare with Tevin Coleman. So offering a top 10, consistent, proven WR isn't that bad of an offer for those two guys.
I assume you think I gave up too much to get Hopkins? I hemmed and hawed on the proposal, but I thought my starting lineup looked better with the deal than without it, so I decided to accept it. Players on my bench don't help me win fantasy football games and I felt pretty deep at RB even with the trade. Is it really that bad of a deal?
He already has two top 5 RBs. Now he has a Top 5 WR to go along with it. He probably sold high on Murray, and gave me his 4th best WR and his 4th best RB. He gets a sleeper in White in return. I don't see how it's unfair.
I think you are getting the best player in the deal in Hopkins. I would have done the trade, and I would call you the winner of the trade at this point. You had the RB's to give up. I liked the trade for you.
I wanted Hopkins badly from Bones, but he only wanted Bell and I just can't give him up, until after he returns, unless it is a lopsided trade in my favor.
I like the trade for both of us because I have an okay replacements for Hopkins in Hilton, Thomas and Gordon (when he comes back). I also upgrade my two starting RBs as well. I think it's a win-win.
You definitely got what you needed in Murray. Hopkins is elite, but Hilton can put up good numbers and of course Gordon has lots of potential, but with the Browns now on their 3rd QB it's up in the air. I would rather get the best player in the deal, which is Hopkins.
My RB situation is not very good, that's why I couldn't ever pull the trigger on any of the Bell deals you proposed. Was close to pushing accept on a couple of your proposals.
I like Hilton more now because Moncreif is out which might mean more targets for Hilton. Hilton plays mostly in the slot and a lot of top CBs don't cover slot WRs, so I'm taking the chance that he will do better than he has. Either way, Demaryius Thomas and Corey Coleman are guys that had good week 2 performances, and I think one of Hilton, Thomas, Coleman, or Gordon will be able to fill the void. Coupled with Marshall and Landry, I still really like my WRs.
eh, even at mediocre at least its SOMETHING, loosing an RB when I am not very strong there as it is, and a young and potential breakout WR isn't worth an ageing and possibly injured player in a position that I may be a bit overloaded in.
