fitzpatrick is on waivers thinking of dumping luck for him also

Don't do it..

You're getting 2 guys who can easily get injured..

Another way of looking at it, you are also giving up 1 QB, 1 RB, and a half..

While you are getting 1 RB, and 1 QB..

At the end of the year, if you were to add Cam Newton, and Doug Martins' total points, and add Foster and Schaub, you have a good chance you will come out ahead because Schaub and Foster are so injury prone...

Martins' not proven but he has a shot of doing some good things in TB and he was named the starting RB there, so I wouldn't do it..

Don't dump luck, he has a high resell value, if he does well, because of his popularity, you can use him as bargaining chip to trade later on in the season..

What if luck does well, and one of your players in your slot gets injured?

You have a higher chance of turning Luck into a good bargaining chip then with Fitzpatrick..

yeah .. just dont like these backs at all

I think you should do it... you're weak at RB and you're giving away an unproven RB for the consensus #1 pick. Plus, it is highly unlikely Newton will repeat his rushing TD's from last year.

Schaub was on pace last season to throw for 4000 yards, and had a 15-6 TD-INT ratio at the time he was injured. Yes, he missed the last 6 games of the season, but I wouldnt say he has a history of injuries. A Lisfranc injury could happen to anyone. I could argue that Cam Newton will be more injury prone than Schaub because of how much he runs the ball.

This would be a great trade for you to make...

Foster has missed 2 games due to injury in his 2 full seasons as a starter. And this guy is calling him injury prone.

It's actually kind of interesting how some people have an illusion that certain players are "injury prone" when in reality this is not the case. I hear the term thrown around pretty loosely, which is confusing... The NFL is so violent that any player could be injured at any time. Or maybe it's because people think of one instance that a player is injured and they are now forever labeled injury prone?

Newton and Martin = hype
Foster and Schaub = money in the bank

This is a yahoo league? Same thing happened to my league last night.

Commish just reset the league.

ngates815 · 08-28-12, 05:59 PM

Much rather have Cam/Martin.

And like the other fella said, keep Luck. Never know how he'll do, but my buddy was at the ESPN fantasy convention this past weekend, and jon clayton said to "watch out for luck, he could end up throwing for 4,000 yards"

Strange. Yahoo had the exact same problem last night, not a person was allowed in the draft.

Not a bad team at all, especially if it is 4pts for Passing TD. Makes Cam as worth while as the top 3 guys.

I am big on Doug Martin this year, but it is a time share - with Blount getting the nod in the red zone.

Also, LeSheur is a solid stash and wait guy. He is the RB in detroit once he gets back. Kevin Smith is nice for a few weeks, but nothing more after that. Best is probably done from football, as sad as that is. So, Mikel is the guy by default - and basically he is really talented on top of it. Since everyone has to defend the pass in Detroit, the running game will get some nice looks, especially in the redzone.

Doug Martin's been looking pretty good..

You never know what's going to happen..

And to the guy who said Foster doesn't have history.. check his college and the nfl combine why he messed up..

He has hamstring issues. Is it gone? Maybe. Is it the ONLY reason for me to say that's why you shouldn't trade. Absolutely NOT..

You can roll the dice but as the bad guy said, I'd rather have Cam + Martin..

Just know this Firedawg..

You have Luck who you might be able to use as a bargaining chip, but more importantly, the dude came to YOU for the trade.. You already have the leverage..

Is it a pretty fair trade? I'd say yes, but why take a fair trade when he's the one coming to you for the trade.. See if you can get something better..
