    I have Andre Johnson and 3 other quality WR (Austin, Floyd and Lloyd) but no quality RB (I have s. green, r. brown, b. wells) in a standard no PPR league.

    What I am looking for is advice as to what RB is good enough to trade Andre Johnson for?

    No one in this league would give up

    Peterson
    Johnson
    turner
    gore
    MGD

    after that group who is worth Johnson?

    Mendenhall?
    Rice?
    McCoy?
    Foster?

    I'd deff work on acquiring Foster. He's an integral part of their offense who can blow up any time. You'd probly need to include another piece, however.

    The guy with Foster never trades. I put Foster there as a gage to see if people thought the value for Johnson would be equal.

    What about mendenhall do you think that would be a fair trade?

    I'd give the Mendenhall trade a shot.

    What about Stephen Jackson/LeSean McCoy/Ahmad Bradshaw?

    Jackson's team sucks! McCoy is a possibility I will try an offer and see what his owner says.

    Bradshaw's owner wants Austin for him and I don't think that Bradshaw is a fantasy number one. What's nice is I am beating the guy this week with with Lloyd and Floyd having strong weeks. We went back and forth last week and he kept insisting on Austin.

    Jacksons team sucks, but on any given Sunday he can get you a ton of yardage.

    Is it a PPR league, if so, look into getting Rice. 70 receptions last year.

    Why don't you package Johnson with Greene for one of the elite RBs. Somebody might go for that.

    Not sure if Mendenhalls load will decrease with Big Ben around now.

    mendenhall or rice is def worth it considering your roster. I would try and unload Floyd though who is at a all time high in value and keep your top 2 wr. Take a stab at a ryan matthews/pierre thomas for him.

    Why don't you try and get Matt Forte, you haven't mentioned him at all.

    It may but defenses will also have to respect the pass so he should see less "8 in the box" looks

    I have an offer out there for him. No reply like normal. So far I have made 6 trade offers and not one reply.

    I hate owners like that. What's the friggin point of being in a league if you're not going to pay attention?

    This is a good idea. Tier 1 WR with a Tier 3 (possibility of moving up as the season goes on) RB is good value.

    I don't know what your league is like as far as trade cojones. My RB crew consists of Peterson, McCoy, J Best, and Marshawn Lynch so if I was offered A Johnson:

    - Definitely not straight up for: Peterson
    - Maybe for McCoy but it'd have to be packaged with another player I like
    - Absolutely for Best and/or Marshawn Lynch in a package trade

    The guys in your second list: Mendenhall, McCoy, Rice, and Foster might be tough to get without throwing another piece in. I'd rank the RBs:

    Tier 1:
    AP
    C Johnson
    Foster
    Mike Turner

    Tier 2
    Rice
    MJD
    McCoy
    Mendenhall
    Gore
    S Jackson

    Your best bet is probably going after Mendenhall or McCoy. Maybe Gore/SJax too since SanFran and St Louis suck.

    Thanks, My problem is getting them to engage in a discussion with me so I can find out the players they like on my squad. The only guy getting back to me thinks that Bradshaw and Johnson are an even swap.

    Absolutely not, he needs to give you something else. See if he'll do Floyd and Greene for Forte. I have Forte, and while I start him every week Cutler can get in a rut and that affects Forte's value. He'll either give you 20 points or 3, nothin between. AJ is a guaranteed 12+ points per week. If hes willing to go straight up AJ for Forte id do that.
