Randy — Trading away your best player is not the answer. Hold onto Peterson. You’re not getting equal value with this trade. Royal is basically worthless so it’s really a Peterson + Smith for Colston + Forte swap and you’re getting the short end of the deal.

This thread is now closed. Good luck this week.

John, I’m stuck on deciding on this trade. What would you do?

Trading AP and S.Smith(Car) for

Colston, Forte and Royal.

I really want to keep AP, ofcourse, but I would like to get more pts by trading for the right group of guys. I’m 3-5 in my league and need to turn it around.

Caroline K — Sims-Walker is a top 15 WR and has a nice matchup this week. There’s a report now that Westy isn’t going to play, so you could probably start either guy and be okay.

I don’t think it’s fair to call Sims-Walker inconsistent. He has had one bad week but has otherwise been terrific. If he lays an egg again this week against the Chiefs, then it’s time to start worrying.

JP-
I’m still really struggling over the flex position: I like Nicks because recently he’s been consistent, but keep struggling between Sims-Walker and McCoy. When they have good weeks, they’re great, but recently they’re so incredibly inconsistent. You still think Sims-Walker is best? Thanks!

FYI for Steve Slaton owners:

RB Steve Slaton has lost his starting job to Ryan Moats for Sunday’s game at Indianapolis, according to a report by ESPN citing coach Gary Kubiak

Hi John,
Thanks soo much for your continuous help! Why Sims-Walker instead of McCoy for the RB/WR ?

Caroline — Brees, Gore, Hightower, Ochocinco, Burleson, Sims-Walker, Miller, Gostkowski. I don’t see a defense in your question.

Alex — I wouldn’t cut Warner. He has a nice schedule ahead of him and will probably bounce back from a bad game. Sanchez and Cassel are close, but Sanchez’s schedule is superior, so I’d hold onto him.

Matt — I’d go with Ricky. I don’t know what HOU is going to do with Slaton, so I’d avoid it if I can. Ricky doesn’t have a great matchup, but Slaton’s isn’t much better. At WR, Burleson, both Steve Smiths and Clark are all very close, so go with your gut and stick with your initial picks.
