    I have Steve Smith and there is an offer on the table for him for Marshawn Lynch. Do you guys think I should make this trade? Usually running backs are more valuable in Fantasy Football because they're more consistent but Steve Smith is just a beast. Here are the two players respective FF points:

    Who's your other WR if you deal Smith? Lynch's only bad matchups the rest of the way are the Jets games and he's got 3 great ones with the Chiefs, Broncos and Browns. If you're going to be starting some awful team's WR3 if you trade Smith though it's probably not worth it.

    If I were to deal Smith, Hines Ward would be my only WR and I would use two Flex RB-WR-TE, with Marshawn Lynch being one of them.

    Yea, weird looking league. So instead of starting a second WR, you can just start another flex?

    Its run by NFL.com. There are 12 teams and unfortunately I drafted 11th. But yeh, I only need 1 WR minimum.
