Give Percy Harvin for Matt Forte? Non PPR
Got offered matt Forte for my Percy Harvin in a non ppr league.My WRs are AJ Green, Percy Harvin, Dwayne Bowe, Denarius Moore
My RBs are Darren McFadden, DeMarco Murray, BJGE, Ben Tate
Do I need to make this trade with Murray's injury? My team is 2-4, so Im feeling the pressure. But I just love Percy Harvin so much. What do I do?

2Andy Cochrane (110 Reputation Points)Given the problems you have at RB and the fact you have more WR then yes. If Murray is back in a short amount of time then no. Can you not pick up FJones for the time being instead of trading away Harvin?1 Comment↳AK Murthy (500 Reputation Points)I'll find out pretty soon if my waiver for Jones went through.

1Anthony Best (381 Reputation Points)I would rather see if you can give up Bowe instead of Percy.. I love Percy since he does more on offense than the rest of your WR's.. that could be a big loss for you. Forte is a great back, but loses out on too many touches in the red-zone.. He really doesn't get that many Td's unless he breaks for long runs. BUt yeah if you can get Jones of waiver than no reason for this trade.2 Comments↳AK Murthy (500 Reputation Points)Missed out on Jones by 1 spot, ended up with Hardesty instead.↳Thomas Naughton (458 Reputation Points)I agree Anthony, but how much of your season do you want to put on the health of Run DMC and Murray? And they've both been underachieving so far this year and their offenses are a mess (They may have a good/great week here and there, but those are on the backs of their QBs). AK's top 3 RBs are currently ranked 18th (DMC), 19th (Murray), and 20th (Law Firm) in points scored. He still needs to upgrade at RB regardless of getting Felix, and Forte still gets his touches, getting 18 pts on 19 touches in week 1 (8th among RB), 8 pts on 11 touches in week 2 (30th ranked among RB, but got injured in the 2nd quarter), and 12.70 pts in week 5 when he came back (13th among RB). That's better production than he's getting now.

1Thomas Naughton (458 Reputation Points)Well you did an amazing job of drafting WR, you have 2 legitimate WR1, and Bowe can play like 1. Like Andy said, given your problem at RB, i would probably do it, especially considering the constant injury problems of DMC and Murray (I last heard he has a torn ligament in his foot and is week-to-week). But Harvin is 6th in the league in targets, 4th in points scored, but having said that, he's cooled off a little the last 4 weeks (10th among WR in points) and hasn't gone up against the Packers or Bears and their defences yet either, and he doesn't score TDs. However I do still like him. I would try and trade Bowe for Forte, because that disaster that is the Chiefs offense is getting better anytime soon, and if he won't bite on only Bowe, I'd probably toss in the Law Firm, who is proving that he was productive in NE because of the system, not his talent, and that he can't handle a full load.2 Comments↳AK Murthy (500 Reputation Points)AJ Green was acquired in a trade for CJ Spiller and Alf Morris after week 1.↳Thomas Naughton (458 Reputation Points)Wow, that trade took some major cahones at the time, but I think you've come out on top. The last 4 weeks, Spiller and Morris have combined to outscore Green by himself a whopping total of, starting in week 3: 0.2 pts, 1.0 pts, 3.4 pts, 3.1 pts. So in essence, you got 2 players worth of value in Green alone. But I also now see why your a little short on RB depth (You're still in pretty good shape there if DMC and Murray ever stayed healthy). When I looked at your roster, I was more worried about your WR depth with only DMoore after your big 3, but if you start 2 RB/2 WR/1 Flex, I still think your in great shape.
