First question Gates or Olsen for the rest of the season?
Second question the trade:
My Team:
QB: Ryan
RB: Foster, Lewis, Gore, Hyde, Yeldon
WR: Green, D.Thomas, Edelmen, Dez
TE: Clay, Walker (both would be dropped or traded if this trade is accepted)
His Team:
QB: Rodgers
RB: L.Murray, CJ Anderson, Hillman, Abdullah
WR: E.Sanders, J. Matthews, J.Brown, Landry, Snead
TE: Olsen, Gates
He is decently week at RB & WR but I feel a bit weaker at RB.
A few ideas I had are:
1. Yeldon or Dez for Olsen straight up.
- Would hate do see Yeldon go, but as my RB5 I don't think he would see much playing time
- Dez is due back in 2-3 weeks but even if he does come back who is throwing to him
2. Rodgers/Gates for Ryan/Yeldon (or Hyde or Gore)
- Doubt he would get rid of rodgers,especially for what im willing to give up, but worth a shot maybe?
3. Dez Straight up for Gates
- May put me in a bye week bind situation, but seems pretty even.
- Again the fear of who woudl be throwing him dez the ball.
4. Stick with what I have, and ride the Walker/Clay train for as long as I can
I guess I am blessed when the bottom of the totem poll players on my team are an injured Dez bryant and a mid rand RB2. Im currently sitting at 2-3 (gotta love most points against) and I feel my greatest weakness is my TE. But, since this is standard, giving up a lot for a TE is hard to do.
TL;DR version of my post:
Is the upgrade at TE from Walker/Clay to Olsen or Gates worth me losing the depth at RB/WR of Yeldon or Dez?
I'd probably rather give up Yeldon than Hyde. I agree with you that he's ultimately the better back, even if the 49er offense is struggling heavily.
I like both Olsen and Gates. I would probably rather have Olsen rest of the way. I would think Yeldon could get it done for you. Seems like a lot to give up but he's your fifth guy. Don't think I'd do Dez esp. since it seems like he's going to be back sooner than later.
I would try the Rodgers deal but yeah, don't think he'd agree.
I wouldn't do Dez for Gates. First option probably your best bet.
Thanks for the response.
One last thing ship Yeldon over Hyde? Yeldon has a better schedule coming up but Hyde is agruably the better back.
I guess I should also add that I could replace giving up Yeldon with Hyde in situation #1 if that would be more benefical to me.
