Should Trade Bengals Defense for Sammy Watkins?
I have both the Lions and Bengals defense. He won't accept Lions for Sammy but should i trade Bengals for Sammy. For WRs I have Julio Jones, Randall Cobb, Michael Crabtree, and Kendall Wright. (in need of extra gusto) There are no notable WRs on the wire and don't wanna get rid of RBs ( LeSean McCoy, Andre Ellington, Montee Ball, Fred Jackson, Shane Vereen, and Donald Brown.)
I don't know what you mean by needing more gusto at WR. You only have one marginally startable WR in Kendall Wright, and your other 3 guys should all carry you just fine, even in a 3 WR league. But even more importantly, I don't think Sammy Watkins brings anything extra to the table for you. I'd like to see a week or two of Orton before I make a decision on whether or not he helps Watkins.
Ultimately, as for the trade you proposed...yea, if you have the Lions D as a backup, I don't think trading away the Bengals is going to hurt you that much. One thing to remember about locking in to the Bengals for ROS - they play the Broncos in week 16, ordinarily championship week.
