anyone trade A Foster this week? (1 Viewer)

[houston]

I'm glad to have Foster on my team, but with lots of RB depth, I'm considering selling now at what I assume is his highest value.

Curious what you were able to get for him in a recent trade.

I'm thinking of throwing some of these offers out there:

Foster/Witten for D Jackson/D Clark

Foster/WR for Benson/S Smith

Foster for Wayne

Foster for Fitzgerald

 

[Maui Monster]

Wow, If I was the opposite team I would consider any of those. I may be drinking Kool-Aid but Foster seems like the real deal and one of the highest value players in FF now.

 

[DerekR]

Got offered Ryan Mathews and Calvin Johnsin for him

 

[Pots]

Got offered Ryan Mathews and Calvin Johnsin for him

This assumes you didn't take it?

 

[houston]

Wow, If I was the opposite team I would consider any of those. I may be drinking Kool-Aid but Foster seems like the real deal and one of the highest value players in FF now.

I start CJ and MJD as my 2 RBs, so no chance Foster ever sees my starting lineup.

 

[DoubleG]

I got a rock.

Sorry, couldn't help it.

 

[ChuckLiddell]

Got offered Ryan Mathews and Calvin Johnsin for him

I believe in Foster for the most part, and am psyched to own him, but if someone offered me Calvin and Mathews for him I would have to clean my underwear right after I hit the accept button.

This....well, except I wouldn't clean out your underwear.

 

[Donsmith753]

I'm in a start 3rb, 2wr league so tat obviously increases his value.

I put him out there looking for a top 5rb/wr but got no takers yet.

Don't NEED to move him but was curious to see what he'd fetch.

 

[footballnerd]

Got offered Ryan Mathews and Calvin Johnsin for him

Take it and run like you stole something.

 

[mdlane]

I traded Foster/Forte for Gore two days before the explosion(s)/implosion.

 

[MikeApf]

I start CJ and MJD as my 2 RBs, so no chance Foster ever sees my starting lineup.

Wow. Just curious, how did you snag both CJ and MJD? Keeper league?

Could be Auction league (and he took reaches at WR/QB)

 

[the spanker]

Foster for Austin PPR? Good trade? Austin is locked as top 5WR right?

Here's a sample of the most recent trades for Foster on CBS.

http://fantasynews.cbssports.com/fantasyfo...611/all/all/all

Craziest I saw.

09/15/2010 Marques Colston, WR NO & Michael Turner, RB ATL for Arian Foster, RB HOU

09/15/2010 Marques Colston, WR NO & Michael Turner, RB ATL for Arian Foster, RB HOU

really? um Reggie Bush for Foster caught my eye.

 

[tjford]

Moved in a league where I had Turner, Peterson and Barber (to the team that owns Slaton and Tate)

Foster (open contract)

Driver (1yr)

2011 2nd

for

Roddy White (3 yrs)

Daryl Washington (open contract)

Also moved to a Texan homer (had Gore, Mendenhall and Barber at RB)

Foster (open)

Alex Smith (3 yrs)

D'Qwell Jackson (3 yrs)

for

Kevin Kolb (5 yrs)

TJ Housh (1 yr)

James Laurinaitis (6 yrs)

I feel great about the first deal. Second deal was made more out of desperation for LB help than anything. If Kolb pans out, I'll be happy with it.

 

[everydayj]

Somebody offered me Eli Manning and Marion Barber for Foster. Stafford was my only starting QB, though, considering that my other was Roethlisberger. I'm honestly thinking about taking it, but the upside is so tempting!!!

 

[thehornet]

i got offered R Moss and Gates for Foster and Jennings.

I turned it down

 

[No Way Jose]

saw Foster for D Jackson this week.

 

[DevilDog919]

Traded Foster for Aaron Rodgers in a redraft. Still have MJD, Ronnie Brown, DeAngelo Williams as my RB's. Hated losing on Foster, but at the time of my draft I was hoping he'd breakout and I could trade him later for another spot that I ignored. Getting Rodgers worked for me.

 

[houston]

Wow. Just curious, how did you snag both CJ and MJD? Keeper league?

Keep 3 league. Drafted MJD in a late round his rookie year. Traded for Johnson late in his rookie year when Lendale was still in the mix.Probably would have kept Brandon Marshall over Johnson last summer, but Marshall decided to act like a baby in training camp. Thanks Brandon, it worked out ok for me in the end.

 

[frae]

Traded Foster for Turner in a PPR league.

 

[mordacai]

Just traded him for Andre Johnson straight up in a 12 team redraft ppr. Obviously hoping for the classic sell high. My other running backs were jamaal charles, thomas jones, ray rice, jaahvid best so had depth.

 

[eldiablo]

Assuming you have depth, I would move foster for most of the above trades. Getting Rodgers or Johnson for him straight up his classic sell high and borderline robbery in my opinion. The colts sold out to stop the passing game, and were unable to change gears when foster started gashing them. Not to mention the fact that Indy is a terrible rush d when sanders is out. I think foster will have a good year, but I don't expect him to finish in the top 5. I'd take Austin straight up in a heartbeat.

 

[Badgers Fan]

Anyone that sells high on Foster may be kicking themselves. No team is going to game plan for him based off a late season caemo, training camp, and a 1st game no matter how great it was. Andre johnson is the 70 million dollar, back to back 1500 yard season man. Oh and that matt schaub guy almost threw for 5000 yards. oh and as owen daniels gets healthy he will be an asset. Teams that dont double andre, will give up 200 yards to him alone. it's hard to even double him. Foster will run on 7 man fronts all year unless injuries happen. And with the way the Texans o-line dominated, regardless of the team (Dwight Freeney is still alive and kickin on that d-line) then Foster sets up for a nice year. Also ryan moats/chris brown/steve slaton combined for 10 tds last year. remember when slaton would constantly get stopped at the goal line? or brown? or when brown fumbled at the goal line to lose a game? Foster is a great goal line back, and he's a good bet to match and exceed the 10 tds those guys did. There's a good chance he finishes with 15+ tds, that alone is going to keep him high. With even 75 rush yards a game, and 15 recieving yards a game the rest of the way, which is more than fair to think he can at the very least average with his high td upside, i cant see him not being a top 10 rb, from here on out, even discounting his week 1 game. The raiders, chiefs, chargers, colts, jaguars twice, titans twice, and broncos still left on his schedule. Aside from the ravens, no one on his schedule worries me (lets see how the jets play without jenkins, i remember ronnie brown gashing them the first game he got hurt). Foster is like a mix of jose bautista and carlos gonzalez. He played good late in the year, worked hard, got taken late, started great, everyone wanted to trade them and not believe in them, but to me, foster will end up just like them, and ill hold him and enjoy my top 5 rb.

[cr8f]

Offered Foster for a backup rookie LB before Tate got hurt and was turned down. Haven't gotten any offers for him since.

 

[Steel Dillo]

I just traded Jonathon Stewart for Foster straight up in a Zealots dynasty league.

Before the ribbing starts... here's why I did it.

1. I got tired of waiting on Stewart to get healthy. Yes he could finally shake off his repetitive injuries, but he also might not.

2. My only other viable starting RB is DeAngelo Williams. Now both my starting RBs won't be on the same team.

3. Foster isn't just a one week wonder. He performed well last year too when he got the start against Miami & New England.

So Foster is on how many of your teams? Everything moves back to the mean. Look at Schaubs pass attempts that game. Now adjust them back to an average number. Those are carries that will be taken away from Foster. Foster is not going to score 48 TD's this year. Let's see if he can go for 150 against Washington. Should be easy for Superman.

 

[Donny Loved Bowling]

I've been offered Turner, R. Moss and Gonzo for Foster and Gates. I'm trying to sub a Bradshaw/Barber package for Foster - am I getting greedy?

This is like the 10th time I've seen something similar to this, so I had to say something- not 1 person is expecting Foster to put up those numbers every week, so can we stop repeating nonsense? There's not a player in the league that you would trade him for if you expected even 1/2 of those numbers, so obviously no one is.The question is, what is his value if he puts up top 5, 10, or 15 RB numbers from here on out? This guy is projecting him to average 90 total yards with 10+ total TDs the rest of the way- do you think that is so outlandish?

He posts 15 tds and 90 yds a game. Reasonable.

You come back with 48 and 150 and deride his post? Don't put words in his mouth, it's not sanitary.

 

[FunkyPlutos]

I got offered Vernon Davis and Mike Wallace for Foster in a dynasty.

 

[mr roboto]

Check this trade out. Tough week 1 for the guy who traded these two away.

09/03/2010

Traded: Rashard Mendenhall, RB PIT

For: Arian Foster, RB HOU

Hakeem Nicks, WR NYG

Mendy had a good week, but ouch.

 

[OrangeCurtain]

I've been debating offering up Foster for A. Johnson straight up, or adding a WR20ish if the guy needs encouragement. With Rice, McCoy, Addai and A. Bradshaw in a league where I can start 3, I feel like I'm ok giving up Foster.

 

[hadji]

I offered Mendenhall, Jennings, M Williams (TB) and Celek for Foster and Vernon Davis. The reason I included Jennings is because we only start 2 WRs (3 max w/ the flex) and I already have Austin and Calvin Johnson. I know the other owner likes Mike Williams and he was looking for a draft pick so I even threw in a 5th rounder next year. Too much?

 

[fightingillini]

I think foster will have a good year, but I don't expect him to finish in the top 5. I'd take Austin straight up in a heartbeat.

Foster is going to be good RB this year, but if you can get a top 5WR or an elite QB for him, take it. Sure, he may be a top 5 RB, but I would gamble that he's not, and that he's a top 10-12 RB. IND could be the worst run D in the league.But I wouldn't trade Foster unless I got a top 5 WR (AJ, Moss, Austin, R White or Wayne) or an elite QB (Rodgers, P Manning or Brees) in return. That would be a 1 or 1 type deal. Otherwise, I would have to get two pretty solid players for Foster if none of these 8 guys are involved.

don't get cute, I'd take that 1st trade in a second. Turner should have a solid year, similar to Foster. Gonzo is a downgrade from Gates, but Moss really makes up for it.

How many players scored 15 TD's last year?

Total td's for starting running backs on good passing offenses:AP- 18

Ryan Grant- 11

LT- 12

Joe Addai-13

Pierre thomas- 8 in 14 games

Beanie wells + hightower- 15

felix jones + barber- 10

The only one who's situation is similar to Fosters was AP. he had the stud reciever, a great qb, and a good line (declined last year but was still good).

Just being in their respective offenses, those other guys were lookin at 10 td years. Foster has as good goal line skills and td potential as ANY of these guys, including AP. Fosters last 3 games he has 447 rushing yards and 6 tds vs the patriots, dolphins, and colts. they are on par with all the D's he faces this year. i dont know why getting 12-13 tds over his next 15 games should be that difficult.

 

[jmo87usc]

I offered Mendenhall, Jennings, M Williams (TB) and Celek for Foster and Vernon Davis. The reason I included Jennings is because we only start 2 WRs (3 max w/ the flex) and I already have Austin and Calvin Johnson. I know the other owner likes Mike Williams and he was looking for a draft pick so I even threw in a 5th rounder next year. Too much?

Can you still revoke that offer? I would right away. Especially if this is a dynasty. Jennings is a GREAT flex. Mendy and foster are at least even from here on out, but I like Mendy more. The difference between Celek and Davis is the question mark here, but I don't think it's worth giving up all that other stuff. Plus Mike Williams looks pretty good. Don't think we've seen his best game yet this season.

Man, like he said.. revoke that if you can. You are giving up everything.
