Yeah, but my other running backs are not as good (Barber and Sproles) after Hightower, Rice and Williams and I'd rather just keep all three

Hello there
You had 3 nice running backs until Slaton got benched. Lynch isn't going to amass any points this season because his o-line is filled with rookies. And Larry Johnson sucks. He's got a ton of carries but shit yardage. I also think your receivers are shit as well.
You sure are loaded on QBs though. heh

QB's are the best scorers. WR's are shit and almost meaningless.
TOP 5 QB
1. P. Manning 298 points
2. M. Schaub 287 points
3. T. Brady 267 points
4. D. Brees 252 points
5. B. Roeth.. 220 points
TOP 5 RB
1. A. Peterson 202 points
2. Jones-Drew 187 points
3. C. Johnson 174 points
4. T. Jones 173 points
5. C. Benson 165 points
TOP 5 WR
1. R. Wayne 126 points
2. M. Austin 125 points
3. R. White 114 points
4. S. Smith 110 points
5. A. Johnson 104 points
I thought more owners would be interested in upgrading their QB because even with the drop-off to a lower RB the QB's scoring can still net a team positive points.
I'm looking for this type of trade...
QB for RB
QB, RB for RB
QB, RB for RB, WR
QB, RB for RB, RB

Hello there
I get what you are saying, but it doesn't work out like that.
I'll use your offer as an example.
You wanted Brady for CJ. Well if I accepted that trade, I would lose my best running back and in return get a QB. In the end, I would end up losing two players with minimal to no gain. I would have to substitute my stud RB with a RB2 or RB3 just to fill the roster spot and hope that Brady scores enough points each week to make up for the difference, which is far from guaranteed.
In layman's terms, I'd be trading 366.51 (Rodgers and CJ) points for 267 + whatever a RB2 or RB3 decides to score me for that week.
Generally the point in making a trade is to make your team better in some way. Making that trade, for my team anyways, wouldn't be beneficial. However, if you look at the trade I made with Dakryn, Rashard Mendenhall for Roddy White, that's an example of a perfect trade for my team. I already have 3 stud running backs, so the loss of Mendenhall is minimal at best. My receivers were very inconsistent and I needed a highly targeted, highly productive WR to fill in for my team to help me on a consistent basis so that I can continue my streak of awesomeness through the rest of the season.
Would I like Brady? Yes, yes I would. He has the potential to score me a lot more points on a weekly basis than Rodgers does. But trading my stud RB for him does me no good.
Also, one thing that is killing your bargaining power here is your over-abundance of QBs in my opinion. You have the second and third highest scoring players in fantasy football and are asking for a lot in return. You could trade either of those guys and still be in a better position than you were before you traded them. On the other hand, anyone you trade with is probably going to be risking another roster position for the sake of having one of those top-tier players.
If I were you, I would accept the best offer I could get for either Schaub or Brady and call it a day. Like I said before, you're still coming out on top so it doesn't really matter.
That or you could be a major dick and just keep them both and tell everyone else to go fuck themselves. However, that might ruin your chances at winning the championship. It's all up to you.
Yes I like fantasy football and I analyze it too much sometimes.

I already said this equation.
But what did it do for Dakryn?

Hello there
I must have missed your post.
and...
It gave him a RB1, something he was in dire need of. He was in a similar position as Caecius except with WRs. He had 4 legit #1 receivers and only 2 legit #1 running backs. That's a bad situation to be in so we made a deal that helped out both parties.

Meh. Mendenhall was an RB1 only for the San Diego game. He has gone down hill from there... at least FF stat-wise.

Benson, Schaub and Shiancoe for Williams, Rice and Gonzalez
Really, Caecius?
I would be willing to trade Ray Rice for Cedric Benson, though

That trade was bullshit because I DON'T NEED OR WANT A QB. I don't come out on top there.
I'm not going to counter offer because I honestly don't give a shit either way. If you want one of my RBs that is worth something to you, make an offer that is legitimate. Something like offering Benson for Rice is something that is agreeable to me.

Except they are within 7 points of each other for total points and Rice has better receiving numbers. I think it's a fair trade tbh since both people start and get the most touches on each time.

Here's the deal:
The only people on your team that I would want (that you are willing to trade) are Benson and Shiancoe. I'm obviously not going to trade Williams or Gonzalez for them, so that leaves you with Rice/Shockey or Hightower/Shockey (or Barber/Shockey if you're feeling bold) if you're up for dealing two players.
Ball is in your court now.
