Ok here are the teams. He wants to trade a WR for one of my RBs. We start 2 Rbs and 3 Wrs. My QB is Tony Romo.

My RBs: Ray Rice, Fred Jackson, Frank Gore, Tim Hightower
My WRs: Hakeem Nicks, Mike Wallace, Julio Jones, Jacoby Ford, Jordy Nelson

His RBs: Steven Jackson, Chris Johnson, Ryan Torain, James Starks
His WRs: Greg Jennings, Miles Austin, Hines Ward, Dwayne Bowe, Nate Washington

Should I make a trade? My team is in 2nd place right now and I'll be 5-1 after this week.

Yeah I would like that trade but don't think he would be up for it. He just offered me Miles Austin for Frank Gore... I think I could get more.

Why would you want to? I would stay put with what you have. Romo has nice matchups coming up so you will be fine at QB and you dont really need to upgrade your RBs or WRS. Maybe you need an upgrade at TE but you didnt list that.

LOL Well.. obviously you dont want to make any trade then. Seriously, why would you even entertain making a deal.

Always trying to get better. I just hate benching one of those backs every week. Feel I could upgrade somewhere.

I have Forte, FJackson, S Jackson, and Rice in my 10 man money league and basically sit SJax every week. However, with byes and potential injuries its a good thing to have that depth especially when your competitors struggle for RBs. I know I am tempted as you are to make deals as well. I just think your team is loaded and better to stay put.

That's very true. Last thing I would need is to trade one of them and then suffer an injury. Probably going to just stick with my roster. Thanks for talking me down.
