T.O and Steve Slaton for Hines Ward and Marshawn Lynch

PPR League

Rest of season projected numbers are 194 / 217 and 236 / 134

I feel like the projected numbers for Lynch are skewed way down (he'll only miss one more game)

well i would get rid of owens will its still early and u could get something for him.eventually he will become a cancer and get susspended or will get hurt

I have Ward and Lynch. But I'm trying to deal him but it's tough cause yahoo has his numbers so low and people look at that a lot more than they should

T.O. = could be solid #2 WR, or could blow up completely
Slaton = looking like a disappointment, not a feature back
Ward = decent option at WR, Roethlisberger's production comes and goes
Lynch = his substitute is looking awfully good, might take carries away from him even when he does come back

So to me, TO is potentially much better than Ward, and Lynch is potentially only slightly better than Slaton. I'd just keep TO and Slaton. It would be just my luck to do the trade and see TO have an excellent year, while Ward gets hurt trying to block someone on a running play, and Slaton improves while Lynch gets stuck behind Fred Jackson.

My thinking is Slaton improves dramatically, since I'm in a PPR league his numbers are much better than non-PPR leagues at this point although still not living up to expectations. Ward has had a great start to his season too if you're in a PPR league.
