Should I trade for C.J. Spiller???

Postby Seanster3000 » Sun Sep 21, 2014 6:09 am

First off my team is off to a shaky start as I am 1-1 and I barely got my win(I won by 0.46 points). I'm trying to make a push for the playoffs/Championship this year (I have only made the playoffs once in the league's 7 year history). In our league there is one completely dominate team that is likely going to win it all (no joke he has a top 5 player at every position). So with that little bit of back story my question is should I trade for Spiller? As you can see my RBs are old but still perform, but as I said before I am looking for that "push" and I am wondering if Spiller could be it!

Here is the trade I have been negotiating with Spiller's owner: my 1st in 2016, my 2nd in 2016, and D. Thomas (for cap purposes) for C.J. Spiller

What do you guys think?
12 Man League - PPR Start: 1 QB, 2 RBs, 3 WRs, 1 TE, 1 K, and 1 DEF
QBs: Philip Rivers ($32/4), Alex Smith ($2/2), Zach Mettenberger ($1/2), Bryce Petty-r ($1/3)
RBs: C.J. Anderson (1$/1), C.J. Spiller ($20/1), Joique Bell ($1/1), Pierre Thomas ($14/2), Jay Ajayi-r ($2/4), Mike Davis-r ($1/3), Jeremy Langford-r ($1/3)
WRs: Antonio Brown ($32/3), DeSean Jackson ($8/2), Victor Cruz ($21/1), Stevie Johnson ($20/2), Dwayne Bowe ($18/2), Eddie Royal ($1/2), Greg Jennings ($15/1), Jerricho Cotchery ($1/2), Denarius Moore ($1/1), Marlon Brown ($1/2), Michael Campanaro ($1/2), Devin Funchess-r ($4/2), Jamison Crowder-r ($1/3)
TEs: Jason Witten ($17/1), Owen Daniels ($6/2), Lance Kendricks ($4/1), Clive Walford-r ($1/3)
K: Patrick Murray ($1/2)

Don't do it. You can get a better back then Spiller for that haul. He is so hit and miss (and most of the hits happened in 2012).

Agree. Spiller is a flex play.....dont trade more value than a flex to get him.....Thomas alone, even for cap reasons, is too much.

Demaryius and a 1st for Spiller??? No man, not a chance. I don't care how salary cap leagues work, you don't trade away guys like Demaryius for mediocre RB's like Spiller
