I'm going through that also.

On that same team, I just traded my second QB Matt Schaub, Colston and Ben Tate for RGIII, A. Bradshaw and P. Hillis.

I'm kinda desperate for RBs on that team so trading Tate, who isn't being used heavily like last season for 2 more RBs helps. I have a ton of WRs so I can afford to lose Colston. No Saints WR is reliable anyway, Brees spreads the ball around to different receivers every week.

I started to second-guess it this morning because of Schaub's day yesterday but it already went through.


It's a keeper league and we start 2 QBs so I'll be starting Rodgers and Griffin weekly.

I have Percy Harvin and Calvin Johnson as my other WRs...but I'm extremely thin at RB since Fred Jackson and Jonathan Stewart have missed time.

*Griffin big fantasy upgrade over Schaub
*Colston swap for Bradshaw probably loses me a few points but helps my bad RB situation
*Hillis and Tate are both non-factors without Foster or Charles getting hurt, wash here.

Thoughts?

My old starters:

QB - Aaron Rodgers
QB - Matt Schaub
WR - Calvin Johnson
WR - Percy Harvin
WR - Marques Colston
RB - Alfred Morris
RB - Fred Jackson
TE - Vernon Davis
Flex - Jonathan Stewart

My new starters:

QB - Aaron Rodgers
QB - Robert Griffin III
WR - Calvin Johnson
WR - Percy Harvin
WR - Randall Cobb/Jerome Simpson/Brandon LaFell
RB - Alfred Morris
RB - Fred Jackson
TE - Vernon Davis
Flex - Ahmad Bradshaw/Jonathan Stewart


Any points I lose from Colston will be more than made up by Griffin and having a full roster of healthy, quality RBs, which I've had trouble fielding. RGIII has outscored Schaub 122.70 to 86.95 in this league this year. I'm not looking back. RGIII is mine for years now, keeper league! It's a 10-team keeper league with the same guys for almost a decade...very competitive league. I've been lucky with the keepers I've been able to snag. From last year, I kept Rodgers, Schaub, Calvin Johnson, Fred Jackson and Vernon Davis. I drafted Johnson and Davis as rookies and picked up Rodgers when he was injured and dropped one year before he blew up.

This team is wining this week to move to 2-2. Yep, that solid roster was below .500, like I said, competitive league! I started out 0-2. My RB production has been trash.
