    12 Team League - Point Per Reception 1 QB 2 RB 2 WR 1 Te 1 RB/WR/TE 1 K 1 DEF

    I have some solid WR depth and was offering a few trades I was curious if I am valuing these few players too much.

    WR:

    Reggie Wayne
    Brandon Marshall
    DeSean Jackson
    Dwayne Bowe
    Patrick Crayton
    Eddie Royal

    I was looking to deal either Jackson Crayton or Royal. Royal is my top option right now since I also have Marshall.

    I am looking for RB depth.

    Offered Trades:

    Eddie Royal for Chris Johnson
    Eddie Royal for Thomas Jones
    Patrick Crayton for Steve Slaton

    I was just curious if I am overvaluing Eddie Royal's trade value.

    Any opinions would be helpful.

    Thanks

    no way i would give u thomas jones for royal... but i can see you trading royal for slaton or chris johnson though. slaton is about to see alot of carries as he is becoming a starter with ahman green out and chris johnson looks good so far but will be sharing with lendale white. both good for RB depth

    Yes, you are but no harm in offering.

    I wouldn't do Crayton for Slaton, though.

    Yea I didnt expect Jones straight up for Royal. He needs a RB in return which I understand. The only RB I can offer him is Jamal Lewis. But I dont feel like he will give me Cotchery too.

    His depth at both positions are weak and I dont think its smart for me to give Royal and Lewis for Jones and someone who wont last on my roster.

    I need to try to get rid of Royal, hopefully he stays hot this next week and I can spend next week working deals. Royal for Slaton is questionable I feel. I would prefer Johnson over Slaton. But I might need to settle.

    So is Royal for Slaton a bad deal for me?

    You know how it works with trading not a lot of people see equal value. I am overvaluing Royal a bit but only because his stock is high right now. The question is there any other RB's I should look at with Royal?

    Slaton and Johnson are the only options, I have seen so far. Maybe Felix Jones but that owner is trying to trade me Rudi Johnson straight up for Royal lol.

    I am waiting to hear back from my offer of Royal for Johnson. I got a feeling he will not accept it. But should I wait for it or offer Royal for Slaton now?

    Thanks

    Your WR corps is awesome. Royal's stock is sky-high right now...Marshall's return makes it a ?...If you can get Henry, good...Jones is a fair trade IMO.

    I think Crayton has more value than Slaton, especially when Green returns. If he doesn't go for the straight up WR for RB trade, what about Royal/Crayton for Johnson or Jones/Slaton? I don't like the way that looks after typing it out...I probably wouldn't do it at this point, but if you're in need of RBs, you're trading a rookie WR and a 3rd option for a bona fide starter at RB, so I say do it.

    edit: I hate Jamal lewis.
