    I may sound crazy for even asking this, but check out our scoring system before advising.  I am getting offered MJD for Sproles and Tolbert.  I'm in a 12 team league that rewards 2 points per reception and 1 point per carry, as well as many of the other standard scoring options out there.  We start 2 RB, 2 WR, and a Flex RB/WR.  My roster looks like this:

    RB:  Rice, Greene, Blount, Tolbert, Sproles
    WR:  Wallace, Holmes, Harvin, Lee Evans, Sims-Walker, Braylon Edwards

    What do you guys think?  I think MJD is still a top tier guy, but don't know if I want to lose my depth at RB, especially with Tolbert and Sproles getting a lot of catches out of the backfield.

    Tolbert and Sproles should get many recs. At 2 pt/rec this is a no brainer. Even w/o that that would be a bad trade.

    Jacksonville is a lost cause, thus MJD is toxic along with the rest of the players.

    Does it really matter? Are any of those gonna get any pt except maybe 1 bye week. (HAvent looked)

    I mean u start

    Rice and Greene and Blount (2rb and flex)
    Harvin and Wallace and Holmes (2 wr and flex).

    Ur 2nd starter at each and flex in question but no way do you put Sproles, Tolbert or MJD in the lineup

    So you guys wouldn't think that even with 1 point per carry, MJD wouldn't be possibly a starter on my team?  I mean he's going to get anywhere from 17-25 carries each week and maybe a couple of receptions.  Seems like he's better than Sproles/Tolbert, and might even deserve a starting spot behind Rice.

    I think the trade is good. But no I dont think he should start over Blount at this point.

    Tolbert is really underrated fantasy wise. The main is the lead Halfback for the team, goal line back, and somehow manages to catch passes out of the backfield. He is a big part of the offense.

    After 2 knee surgeries I dunno if MJD is still the same back anymore. Deji Karim is more than capable, and MJD"s YPC was absolutely putrid vs. the Jets.

    I wouldn't count on too many passes coming his way if McCown is still the QB. That guy just holds onto the ball.

    Ok I think I proposed a trade to him that he may be interested in.  Let me know what you guys think. 

    I'm thinking about offering him Schaub, Tolbert, and Sproles for Rodgers and MJD.  I kind of still like MJD as a top RB and I like that Gabbert is getting the nod to start.  Or I could even hang onto Tolbert and package Greene in there, b/c I actually think Tolbert is a little underrated too. 

    Regarding our QB scoring, we get 6 points per TD, +1 for each reception and -1 for an incompletion, and 5 points for 300 plus yards passing.  They also receive 1 point per carry.  My team would then look like this:

    QB:  Rodgers, McNabb
    RB:  Rice, MJD, Greene, Blount
    WR:  Wallace, Holmes, Harvin, Sims-Walker, Edwards, Evans
    TE:  Pettigrew
    K:  Folk
    DST:  Bears, Chargers

    I lose my RB depth, but I upgrade at RB and QB imo.  What do you guys think?

    Also of note is that MDJ has logged 204 total yards in the first two games; it's the best start in the 6 years he has been in the league.  And that was against two pretty solid defenses, Titans and Jets.

    I dont think this loss of depth hurts at RB as u are still extremmely deep. 4 top 15-20 RB's is deep. Be intersted to know who u start at flex? Harvin, Greene, Blount, I think Edwards and Sims Walker are underrated right now. I would try to package 2 of the guys you dont think will start on roster much and get a stud. Something like Harvin and Blount for Desean Jackson, Fitzgerald, White, event Vincent Jackson????   I think u understand what I am saying.
