Have Brees and Ryan, need help trading for decent RB
I know I can't tell you what all the other teams look like and you'd have to guess if someone would be willing to trade, but what are some combos and who do you think I could reel in with the right offer? I desperately need a reliable running back. Standard Scoring, 10 person league.QB - Brees, Ryan
WR - Cruz
WR - A. Brown
RB - Turner
RB - Jennings
W/R - M. Floyd
TE - Miller
K - Bryant
DEF - PIT, OAK (I drop/add defenses based on matchups)
BN: D. Richardson, Shorts, Wright, Gordon
Or even a reliable WR
Your best bet though is to try and make the argument based on overall team improvement. Let's assume you're trading Ryan (24.9PPG), and you're targeting someone with Cutler (14.7PPG) at QB, Adrian Peterson (17.2PPG), Doug Martin (15.1PPG) in play, and Darren Sproles (10.2PPG) on their bench.
Initially, they're going to look at it and not want to give up their RB1 for your backup quarterback. Here's how you break it down:
Martin:
They gain 10.2 points per game at QB, and lose 5 points per game at RB, so their team is +5.2 overall.
Peterson:
They gain 10.2 points per game at QB, and lose 7 points per game at RB, so their team is +3.2 overall.
You can easily argue that you should get Peterson, even though we're talking about the #2 RB versus the #5 QB.
