Here was my team on Wednesday. QB: Romo RB: McCoy RB: Mathews FLEX: AJ Green WR: Calvin Johnson WR: Steve Smith (CAR) TE: Dustin Keller D/ST: Houston K: Janikowski BENCH: Felix Jones BENCH: Roy Helu BENCH: Reggie Wayne BENCH: Antonio Brown BENCH: CJ Spiller BENCH: Jared Cook I had already clinched the playoffs, so I traded some of my quality depth for an upgrade at the RB position. I made the trade on Friday, so it didn't affect my roster for this week, but obviously it will for the playoffs (which start this coming week in my league). Here is my new team. QB: Romo RB: McCoy RB: Jones-Drew FLEX: Mathews WR: Calvin Johnson WR: Steve Smith (CAR) TE: Dustin Keller D/ST: Houston K: Janikowski BENCH: Atlanta D/ST BENCH: Reggie Wayne BENCH: Antonio Brown BENCH: Felix Jones BENCH: Jared Cook BENCH: Denarius Moore BENCH: Open I am just scared that all of a sudden Megatron and Steve Smith are slowing down and that I traded away Green, who at the moment has been my only reliable receiver. Thoughts?
the lions have 4 weak defenses coming up(minn, oak, sd, gb), while the bengals have2 good and 2 crummy (hou, st, ari, balt). the lions also have no run game, so it's tough to say what will come of that. overall however, i'd say you made the better choice between the 2(mega/aj) steve smith would have been my first trade option, because to me, it seems like newton is becoming more and more comfortable running.
