This guy has offered me Devin Hester for Matt Forte.
My other RBs are Ronnie Brown and Slaton and Felix Jones
I'm not so sure if I want Hester but he has outscored Forte so far.
His other receivers are Maclin, Percy Harvin, Roy Williams, Brandon Marshall, Berrian, Hester, Knox, Auston Collie, and Crabtree
My guys are Steve Smith (NYG), Ochocinco, Dwayne Bowe, Desean Jackson, and Steve Breaston
We start 4 receivers, and 2 rbs, there's no flex position
Should I accept or counter? and if so for who?
Decline the offer and tell your buddy to eat a salty bag of d*cks.
He's screwing you hard. You're thinking of trading one of the top 5 picks in this year's FFL draft for a late round WR? Hester is at best a #3 WR. There are probably Kickers that have outscored your RBs too. That doesn't make it a good deal to trade them away. It sucks that you picked a guy who is struggling, but you have to either ride it out or try and trade him on name value. I bet there's at least one guy in the league who will take him off your hands for a real starting RB. Maybe make a move for a guy like Benson, Ray Rice, or Michael Turner? You should be able to pickup a guy with a big name who has played poorly (Turner, Westbrook, LT, Steve Slaton, Ryan Grant)) or a young guy without the big name who is outplaying his draft position (Ray Rice, Cedric Benson). Under no circumstances should you be trading a starting RB for Devin Hester, in my opinion.
My old #2 RB wasn't any better, but Forte has been a royal bust thanks to that O-line.
