Fantasy Football Help ...

I know there is a fantasy forum, but I figured I would get more response in here.

Here is my team:
QB Cutler
RB Gore
RB Grant
RB Pierre Thomas
RB Julius Jones
WR Calvin Johnson
WR Steve Smith - carolina
WR Anquan Boldin
WR Mike Sims-Walker
WR Sidney Rice
TE Antonio Gates

I have some great WR's and 2 solid rb's. I can't play all those wr's and I always have a hard time deciding on who to play. I am sure I can trade a couple wr's and get another solid rb.

Who should I look to trade out of those WR's?
- Calvin Johnson is hurt but his value is low, so I wouldn't get much for him as I should
- Steve Smith has a pretty good schedule ahead of him and I think he will turn it around
- Boldin is always hurt but can produce as a #1
- Sims-Walker has been great, but can he keep it up?
- Rice has been great, but can he keep it up?

So who should I trade and who should I go after? Thanks!

How many WRs do you have to start each week?

I would for sure make a trade. Problem you have is obviously you'd be selling low on your 3 studs, and you're not sure what you can get for MSW or Rice. Because of your depth at WR I personally wouldn't hesitate to trade any of those guys if you have to...just try first to trade the guys you like the least.

I'd value them right now: Calvin, Boldin, MSW, S Smith, Rice.

My advice is to shop around via email. You never know when an owner will like a particular player. Sometimes it is all about perception, or in other words good or bad "vibes" for a player, and it can vary by individual. For example, if some guy owned Boldin during one of his big years, and has only watched Arizona during one of Boldin's better games this year, might have good vibes from him. Sims-Walkers' value probably varies as much as any player in fantasy...anywhere from a flash in the pan to a must-have new stud.

I'd make some offers with the WR you want to give up most, but include with the offer "you can also have Sims-Walker instead if you prefer".

Personally I'd hang onto Calvin, just because his value is low and you don't want to sell him low. Then hope he bounces back, which given his talent level I think is quite likely. But if you find someone who covets him and will give you a stud RB in return or something, go for it.

As for Sims-Walker, I think his actual value to you probably exceeds his trade market value. The guy is very talented and is the unquestioned #1 option for Garrard...he hasn't been having incredible games, just very steady good ones...and no reason that won't continue for the most part.

I don't think Rice has a ton of trade value, but he's also a guy that will probably be serviceable for you, so i'd keep him. Typically, people are mentally reluctant to trade a guy they drafted high (RB) for a guy who probably wasn't drafted (Rice), even if they are desperate for WR. But, if you have to package Rice with one of your other WRs to get a good RB, go for it.

As for who you can get, I think you can still get a solid RB in exchange for a guy like Boldin or MSW. If you package one of your RBs with one of the WRs, maybe you can get a very good RB...it just all depends on what the other teams in your league need.

good luck!

One guy in my league has Deangelo Williams and his receivers are Fitzgerald, Harvin and Jacoby Jones. Who should I offer for D. Williams?

After looking over people's rosters ... there are two people who need wr help really bad. One team has DeAngelo Williams and the other team has Steve Slaton. Who should I offer up?

I would go after DeAngelo. I would pick you top 1 or two wideouts that you like on your squad. Personally sims-walker and rice are pretty tight but that's me. Than I would go to the guy who do you want for DeAngelo. You can pick any wideouts. Let him pick the wrong ones and if it is one of the guys you want than counter trade. But than you know what he is thinking and the leverage has swayed to your court.
