Question, Fantasy Gurus. Wells for Cribbs

I am really wanting another RB who might break out. I have Ryan Grant, Reggie Bush, Maroney, Mendenhall, Hightower, James Davis and LeSean McCoy (who I may drop and pick up Chaz Scilens).

I was offered Beanie Wells and Michael Vick (a non factor) for Joshua Cribbs and Mendenhall.

My question is whether you think that Wells is worth letting go of Cribbs, even though Cribbs us a return man in a league where returns count. To give you a little perspective, in my league, Cribbs is projected to do about 23 points this week, and Andre Johnson, 19. Wells only 8 so far. I am thinking about doing it despite the points, because I think that I'll be able to fairly quickly get production out of Beanie in my Wideout/RB slot (but James Davis could be that guy), and that he just may be a steal. But I hate to lose out on Cribbs' production, which could conceivably fall off if Massaquoi or Robiskie take root. Cribbs is listed as the number 2, but Mangini said that he will probably rotate the three. But, a lot of good things happen when Cribbs gets the ball. I just don't know if he's worth giving up for a POSSIBLE gem.

For the moment, my other receivers are Andre Johnson, Santanna Moss and Derrick Mason. I also have Kenny Britt(who had 15 points tonight).

I got cold feet yesterday. I guess I could offer the guy a trade today. I am thinking that maybe I should take Wells, but the way my league scores return men is 1 point for every 10 yards, and 5.9 when reaching 100 (which I convinced the commissioner to change to 150 or 200 for next year), which is almost like getting 5.9 points for free. RBs score 1 point for every 5.5 yards and 5.9 when they reach 100 (and 5.9 when they reach 200). Of course both get 6 points for a TD.

Come on, guys. What do you think? With Cribbs being one of the best in the game, plus a possible regular 2WR, should I keep him, or take my chances with Wells?

This week Wells is projected to do only about 8 points, and Cribbs, about 23. Those are just projections, and only for this week. If Beanie ramps it up, he'll probably project around 20-25 a week also (for instance Deangelo is projected to do about 23 as well).

this is almost a toss up.

if it were me, i would make the trade just for wells...even tho i believe vick will be a nonfactor this season. unless mcnabb gets hurt or stinks it up, i don't think he'll see the field except for the occasional gimmick play.

it may not happen in week one, but when all is said and done, i think wells is going to be BIG.

on the other hand, cribbs could money right now while mendenhall is dead weight.

BTW, I did drop Mendenhallm but that was to take a chance on Meachem. Unfortunately I had to give up McCoy because I had to fill out a roster spot on the D-Line. But, I traded him away to a team who can't possibly do a whole lot of damage. I also picked up Chaz Schilens off waivers to stash away.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
