Trading away Beanie Wells

[dlf_ericd]

Several owners in my league are interested in Wells, but I'm not quite sure what to value him at. I think he is due for a really nice season ahead, with a ton of potential after that if Leinart proves he's capable of leading that offense. One of the owners has offered Vernon Davis, Mike Wallace & a a 2nd round pick (#7 rookie draft). He also has Felix Jones that he would probably be willing to deal. What do you think I should do?

That offer is close but I don't think it's a good deal for your team. Wells has even more value in your league since it is non-ppr.

Given your roster, I'd certainly consider moving Wells. But Davis isn't a sizable upgrade to Celek and Wallace serves you little purpose. I'd target a much better WR with him. Felix is just another throw in player.

I would pass. When looking at your roster and starting requirements, I would probably just hang onto Wells considering you can start up to 3 RBs, which means you probably want to have 4 very solid ones if you can. Vernon would be a slight upgrade over Celek imo but not near enough to make this deal. Your lineup is very solid, don't think I would make any major changes to it before the season.

Thanks for the input guys. I declined the trade offer and he countered with Vernon Davis, Felix Jones, and next year's 1st round pick (probably in the 6-8 range). If I accepted a trade for VD, I would probably try to move either him or Celek in another deal. Does that change your mind at all?

That's a fair offer, but I wouldn't make my decision to accept this trade based on what you could do in another deal unless you have one near-finalized already. Look at this deal and decide if you are getting enough value for Wells. It's a fair offer, but as I'm no fan of Felix or low future first-round picks, I would still pass.

I think I would take that deal...

While I think you're close to even value, I don't think you'd be improving your team. Keep him unless you can get a nice name.

The upgrade from Celek to Davis is much smaller than what you are giving going from Wells to Felix. Not a deal that makes sense to me. Why give away a player with top 10 potential in Wells for a bye week fill in RB?

Still would not make that deal. The dropoff from Wells to Felix is fairly substantial imo.

you'd be better off using Wells then to get what you actually want. i'm all for flipping players, but when you have a stud in making like Wells, you need to make sure that you are getting good value for him. I dont see felix a nd a mid 1st as being good value after you trade VD

Even if you hate Wells, i'm sure there's someone in your league who would offer a better value.
