blockbuster trade, please help! (last one I swear)

[dudekid]

ok guys i know i've been asking for a lot of trade help lately but this is a huge one, in my big league, and the trade deadline is today...please give me some ideas, im torn!

i give up: brady, demarco murray, d bowe, shonn greene
i get: matt ryan, megatron, sproles, daryl richardson (throw in)

basically i feel like brady for ryan is pretty similar, but adding megatron to my team is the key...

i am 4-6 in 10th place, so i need wins ASAP...not really looking at playoffs right now...but i do have a chance to get in as the top team is only 6-4 and there is a whole mess of people with 4 and 5 wins...so its not like im eliminated...my current lineup is this:

t. brady
d. bowe, s. johnson, m. austin (start 3wr)
r.rice, s. greene (start 2 rb)
tony gonz
donnie avery (flex...this would be demarco murray when healthy)

bench:
p. garcon, d. murray, t. young, a. brown (PIT)

i guess my question is, will this help me win now, while not killing me for the playoffs? i love shonn greene and demarcos schedules down the road, but i unfortunately cant look that far ahead....i feel like sproles, megatron, and ryan can help me win this week more than bowe, brady, and greene would...what do you guys think?? i promise this is my last trade question and i will give help in return to any and all posters...thanks!!

sorry not sure if this will help at all, but here is his lineup before the trade:

m. ryan
aj green, h. nicks, megatron (3wr)
d. sproles, c. ivory (2rb)
g. olsen
donald brown (flex)
bench: d. alexander, d. richardson, m. bennett, d. williams, f. jackson, e. manning

[dudekid]

any ideas? anyone?

tt, i know you arent big on trades but any input at least? onlooker, speedy?

[BigSpoon]

I'm not sure I like this trade, you are giving up a bit too much imo. You will have no RB depth after this trade. As far as this week, if Sproles does not play you would have to start Richardson as one of your RB's, yikes.

[dudekid]

yeah you are right, i actually declined it due to that exact reason...i just read that sproles has hand swelling, and he is questionable at best..plus they have a 4pm kickoff so i couldnt even play richardson (he goes at 1)...so i am going to just tough it out, hope shonn greene can run hard, and maybe by some chance demarco murray can come back healthy enough to play next thurs :/

[GamblerSpirit]

Wow you declined that? You're nuts! Is that bc matt ryan might not play towards the end of e seasn, bc they might secure a playoff spot and be resting?

Btw i thnk you will like this week's performance from shonn green

This league a PPR?

If not, I wouldn't take D.Sproles. His value is only great in PPR leagues.

[convick]

Should have done the trade. Only player you were giving up that was worth a damn is Brady. You were getting two really good players in Calvin and Matt Ryan. My opinion might be slightly biased since I have Murray, Greene and Bowe in a couple of leagues and they have not done much the last month. Hope you don't regret this down the road.

Little value from Richardson an sproles

He gets better end

Incorrect. Murray hasn't played in weeks and is unlikely to return fully healthy. I'd much rather have Sproles at this point.

[dudekid]

the league is not PPR, but i mean sproles has surprisingly put up decent enough numbers in non-ppr leagues as well...the way i look at it, i will have rice-murray-greene as a 1-2-3 for RBs and not have to worry about a different flex every week, that is, if murray can come back healthy...brady and ryan are a wash in my book, brady is still brady regardless of what ryan did against the saints last week...obviously id rather have megatron than bowe, but it really just hinges on demarco murray...if it wasnt sproles and was an rb i could actually use this weekend id do it in a heartbeat, but i cant bank on sproles playing

[dudekid]

the main issue here is that i cant afford to lose this weekend and try to win later...every win counts for me at this point, and if sproles doesnt play i'll have to start some scrub in the rb2 spot...at least this way with greene (i like his matchup with stl this weekend) i have a solid 1-2 with rice and greene..and bowe is still the top target on his team so who knows maybe he will pull through for me

[GamblerSpirit]

Yet, you're banking on murray coming back? How long has he been out now? The guy was only supposed to be out two weeks.

[dudekid]

i do think murray will be back, but the point is, even if he's not i have shonn greene to play....if i trade murray AND greene for sproles, if sproles doesnt come back i dont have an RB to play this weekend you know?

You're getting T-Rich, am I missing something?

Rice/sproles/trich > rice/greene/murray

Daryl Richardson, not Trent Richardson.

[dudekid]

trust me if this was for trent richardson, i wouldve jumped at it and never looked back...sorry if i didnt clarify, but the trade is for daryl richardson...im really going back and forth with this one, i know a lot of people have leaned towards making the trade, but its just hard due to the situation of my team...while i do think sproles may play this weekend, its hard to be sure, and he joins a 4 RB committee...i think id rather roll with brady/greene/bowe this weekend than ryan/megatron/daryl richardson, but i guess that may be my personal preference? either way it seems close
