    Im in a flex league where you don't need to start a TE (I Have Witten), and I have A.Peterson and D.Mcfadden as my one/two, but have cj spiller, ryan grant, and Michael bush as my back ups. Grant/Bush/Spiller have not done much so I wanted to trade one of my quaterbacks for another running back. like ray rice, matt forte, fred jackson. what do you guy's think...

    Which quaterback should I stick with, and which one should i use as trade bait. (ps. they both have the exact same bye week)

    Since they both have the same bye week, I think you should definitely shop them around.  Unless the guys in your league don't understand fantasy that well, there is no way you are going to get rice, forte, or jackson though.  I would say just put them both on the block and take the best offer.

    I was in your exact situation.  I drafted both stafford and newton and then figured out they both had same bye week.  I decided to put newton up for trade (I feel stafford has a monster year and newton will have up and down season, but certainly has high upside). 

    The trade i went with was:

    traded newton, felix jones and jacoby jones

    for josh freeman, chris beanie wells, and mohammed massoqui.

    I thing wells is going to have big year, so i was happy with what i got for newton.

    since then ive dumped freeman and picked up tim tebow.

    Keep Can Newton... He is racking up passing yards, passing TD's, rushing yards and rushing TD's.

    Statford is only gonna get you passing stats which are not worth as much.

    The only downside with Newton is his INT's but he will improve on that and his stats make up for those anyway.

    Schedule is very important also.

    Odds are Carolina will be playing from behind more often so Newton will be forced to make points while Detroit and Statford will be ahead in more games and start to hand the ball off to Javid Best in those games.

    Can Newton is fantasy football's new Golden Goose.

    Good Luck

    Try and get James Sparks - RB- Packers. He will and is taking Grant's spot as the Packers main RB.

    Also, keep Michael Bush... He is a great insurance policy just in case McFadden goes down with an injury which it seems happens every season so far.

    Dump C.J. Spiller... even IF Fred Jackson goes down the Bills will not pound Spiller since he is a change of pace speed back.

    Try and nab Beanie Wells - RB - Arizona... or Javid Best - RB - Lions as a nice flex RB.

    I was offered Jeremy Maclin and Darren Sproles for Matt Stafford. Cant pull the trigger though, because I am giving up a prime time fantasy qb for two okay players. Thinking of offering Stafford and CJ Spiller for Frank Gore. What you guys think.

    Don't deal Stafford, deal Cam. Don't pick up Frank Gore either. If you have to deal Stafford then find the guy who has Calvin Johnson and target his best RB(assuming he has a good one). He will be more inclined to make the deal with the potential to pair the two up.

    I still say don't trade Stafford but it sounds like that is your choice.

Grant/Bush/Spiller have not done much so I wanted to trade one of my quaterbacks for another running back. like ray rice, matt forte, fred jackson. what do you guy's think...
