So I am part of a 12 man league on yahoo. Well I dont have a good team this season. And so far my record is 1-5. My best player was ray rice. The reason I say was, is because I traded him earlier today and I want to get your opinions if you think it was a good trade. So like I said my team sucked. Not to say I didnt have some decent players in certain positions. but it wasn't a very well rounded team. So I traded Andrew luck ray rice and pierre Garcon for Eli Manning Ahmad Bradshaw and Ben Jarvis Green Ellis. Now I realize Ray Rice is a top player, but Eli Manning is a better quarterback than anyone on my team. Also Ahmad Bradshaws stats are compareable to Ray Rice he missed a couple of games due too a small foot injury. but thats in the past. Finally the last reason I did it, is that that I have Victor Cruz on my team. So now I have victor cruise Ahmad Bradshaw and Eli Manning. Between all 3 of them I think they will get me major points. what do you think?
that was a horrible trade, if you'd ask me. haven't that many players on the same team doesn't necessarily help, because that means all the points are split.
Good trade Eli is better than luck obviously and bradshaw has been comparable to rice. And the other guys you got Definetely fill the gap between bradshaw and rice.

Now add to Victor Cruz on top of that and you can see why I might get close to 100 points off of 3 players and maybe even only 2.
Bradshaw is hurt and I would guess by around Week 11/12 he'll lose most touches to David Wilson / Andre Brown. just in time for fantasy football playoffs and to fuck you over. i shouldnt' say it's a horrible trade, it's just not a trade i'd advise doing. but that's just my opinion.
Not the best of trades and I never like having that many people on the same team. Just takes points away from each other
[quote name='"JH2012"']Not the best of trades and I never like having that many people on the same team.

And I still have 2 people playing tomorrow night. but all his players have already played. I did the math and figured out that I wouldn't have won this week if I didn't make the trade. so I'm happy
Rice is a very solid RB. Its an alright trade, as long as you have depth at running back. Garcon hasn't done much since getting injured Week 1, so you're basically trading one good player for 3 very decent starters
you're losing points because what if Giants get a COMMANDING lead in the game? that means you wont get points from Eli Manning and Victor Cruz because you'll be running. and on the back end, if Giants are getting ANNIHILATED you won't be getting points from Ahmad Bradshaw. Where-as what if the Ravens are DOMINATING and the Giants are GETTING CRUSHED? that means that Ray Rice, Eli, and Cruz will all be getting you points at the same time. Eli can't throw to Cruz & have Bradshaw run at the same time, when Rice could be performing in the other game.
