My obvious question-- if you trade away 1 guy and get 3, what 2 guys will you drop to make room on your roster? James Jones, Robinson or Bortles? If it's a PPR league, I think you're safe with Brown and Cobb as your #1 WRs. If not, I'd be worried about no TDs from either one on any given week. Brown's 2 TDs were a fluke last week. He gets lots of receptions, but not very many TDs. Same with Cobb. At least you're pretty much guaranteed 1 TD every week from Green (well, except for last week. )

He gets lots of receptions, but not very many TDs. Same with Cobb. At least you're pretty much guaranteed 1 TD every week from Green (well, except for last week. ) Well, another good thing from the trade I just made, was that Jordan Reed has an ( O)designation. I'm able to put him in a nice cozy little IR slot until he's ready to play again, which has opened up a free spot on my roster now. It would then come down to releasing just one player from my roster. I think it would have to be Bortles. I can't see nobody rushing to scoop him up, and there are other decent Qb's still on the WW. Green is rock solid almost every week he plays, and he normally doesn't miss games ever. In fact, he hasn't missed more than a game for years. I'm liking the looks of my roster a LOT more with him in it. When my whole team is together, and no bye conflicts, it's pretty damn tough now I think... QB- Cutler ( 6th best Qb in this league and no more than 5 points away from 4th & 5th place: Manning & Dalton) RB- Giovani Bernard ( 4th best Rb: just 1point less than 3rd place Le'Veon Bell & just 2points away from 2nd place Murray) RB- Rashad Jennings ( Tied as 7th best Rb with Bradshaw(55pts)and just 5 points less than 4th place Giovani Bernard) WR- Antonio Brown ( Tied as 4th best Wr with Dez Bryant and less than 10pts away from 1st place Julio Jones) WR- AJ Green ( 11th best Wr and just 5pts less than 6th place, despite missing an entire game) TE- Larry Donnell ( Tied in 8th place with Marcedes Lewis) FLEX- Randall Cobb ( About 10pts away from cracking top 10. Patterson actually had 10 more points than Cobb, but I thought Cobb would be more consistent) D/ST- CAR D ( Tied in 10th place with ATL D but under 10pts away from 4th best BUF D) K- Dan Bailey ( Tied as 2nd best with PIT K) Bench QB- Bortles ( has a lot of upside because he will have no choice but to throw a lot, and I believe he's talented) RB- Joique Bell ( no more than 5pts away from players like Foster/Stacy/Ellington & Ball who were all drafted much earlier) *not bad for a 3rd Rb*WR- James Jones (more points than Alshon, tied with Cooks & Cobb, and just 4 points below Marshall)*putting in a ww to switch with Quick, who believe it or not is ranked 7th best Wr here*WR- Allen Robinson (I see potential now for him with Bortles and the need in JAC to throw the ball a LOT)*key will be what they do when M.Lee gets back*D/ST- MIA (just two points below CAR D and 4pts better than SEA D)Open spot: ( because I was able to put Reed in the IR slot) Have a waiver out right now for DeAngelo Williams set to hit on Friday morning.IR- Jordan Reed ( think he'll do real well with Cousins in WAS when he returns in a game or two) He's also after Antonio Brown. I do already like this team the way that it is. However, he does seem desperate to do something though, and I could virtually hold him for ransom right about now because he's panicking. Just not sure if any combination of the players he's been offering are worth trading for Green or Brown. Here's who he's throwing around as trade bait: Doug Martin, Bradshaw, Hopkins, Witten and Fitzgerald. Other players of value on his team include: Stafford, Demaryius Thomas, Marshall, F-Jax and "possibly" Ridley. Trying to figure out if there's a package deal I can do to exploit him during his panick mode. If anyone here is bored and would like to make some suggestions, I'm all ears. Told him I'd get back to him.

No way would I do that deal. Martin isn't anywhere near reliable enough, Fitz is on his way down, and Hopkins is a rookie. Not giving Green away for that, especially with a week-in, week-out flex play in Cobb. You're in great shape. It'd take a helluva lot better offer than that to pry Green from me. Like a straight-up RB1 (not Martin). Lynch I'd seriously consider, maybe one of the underperforming top 5.

"Thinking" about offering up a package deal:
AJ Green or A.Brown for his D.Thomas, my Joique Bell for his Bradshaw, and my James Jones for his Hopkins. I'd be upgrading nicely in Hopkins vs Jones & Bradshaw vs Bell(who knows if Bradshaw can stay healthy). D.Thomas is struggling this season though, and Green is not. That's why he'd have to consider doing it. Just not sure if D.Thomas is gonna bounce back to his production again from last season.
Edit: That seems like the only possibility of a trade I would do with him, if I do one at all. My gut tells me to just stay put.
