    Do it now. Golden Tate will not have this much value with Calvin Johnson back. That is a steal of a trade.

    I second this. Ironically, even IF Golden Tate's value stays high, Ellington's value is still higher. Click accept ASAP.

    Joique or Vereen rest of season? .5 PPR

    I would think Vereen but Joique's schedule is an absolute cupcake (especially in the playoffs).

    If they were both starting backs this wouldn't even be close it's Joique. But the fact that Vereen is actually starting makes a huge difference. I think I'd take Vereen, because of the simple fact that N.E. doesn't really have anyone else. Especially when you factor in the .5per reception.

    Tate might be better with Calvin there and all the attention he commands. Not sure he's a very good #1 guy. Several offenses can support 2 elite fantasy WRs and DET is probably one of those, along with ATL, GB, CHI off the top of my head.

    True, Golden Tate very well may be a legit fantasy WR when Calvin returns, but Golden Tate, Alshon Jeffery, Roddy White, and Randall Cobb should all be valued below Andre Ellington. (Even though Cobb is somewhat debatable due to his recent TD #'s, he's still not up there with Ellington IMO)

    Trade away Vereen, FJax, and K. Wright for Megatron? My team (.5ppr):

    Romo
    Forte, Lacy, Joique, Vereen, FJax, Khiry
    Antonio, Keenan, Wright, Randle
    Ertz

    Tried to get Ryan Mathews, too, but he wouldn't budge. Also Vereen and Khiry are my only backs not on bye next week, so I'd have to pick up a scrub and essentially chalk that one up as a loss.

    Right, but Bush barely ever plays and Belichek might find a way to ruin Vereen. All that with the schedules makes it a really tough call... But the guy I'm trading with (see above) wants Vereen, so that's who I gotta sell.

    I would. You're essentially trading away depth, for quality upgrade. I think its a pretty good deal for you. (I just traded for Calvin Johnson as well, and I'm hoping his soft playoff schedule will really come through for me)

    I think it depends on the composition of your team and league settings (ppr or no). Ellington hasn't exactly been setting stuff on fire. Tate is easily outscoring him so far in ppr.

    Exactly. I'm 4-3, tied for 5th (6 teams make it in), with three 3-4 teams nipping at my heels. With an almost guaranteed loss next week, I'm worried about even making it. However, I built this team to have an easy second half and playoff schedule. Uch.

    12 team league...

    My WRs are Megatron, E.Sanders, T.Y Hilton, Watkins, M. Evans
    My RBs are Arian, Sankey, Richardson, B. Brown

    Got offered Eddie Lacy for Hilton or E. Sanders (my choice)

    My team has been on a nice roll the last 3 weeks. It's a no brainer I think if Calvin johnson comes out of the bye healthy, but that's no guarantee. Should I bite??

    My rb depth has took a big hit.

    Standard rules i need to choose one for my rb2.

    I currently have Bishop Sankey starting but contemplatingstarting Anthony Dixon.

    Thoughts?
