Sorry if there is another thread; I searched and could not find one in recent history. If so, please just post the link.

Wondering what Foster is worth? Now that he has returned, has his value returned to pre-injury status where he drives the price of a top 5 RB or are people still reluctant to part with him? Could you get him for 2 mid-level skill players or would you need to send stud-for-stud?

He means if you package together Arian Foster and Adrian Peterson. To answer the OBVIOUS question, a whole lot, you can get a whole lot for Arian Peterson, I mean Adrian Foster.

There was a thread on the board a few weeks ago where a guy was promoting the strategy of selling proven studs for mere potential. He called it "sell high, buy low," by which he meant you sell your top talent and get low talent in return. You might try the trade with him.

Don't think anyone else will give Foster for 2 mid level players. You can't win in fantasy football without a few studs. If a Foster owner were to give up on Foster now they would basically be giving up on the season, unless (a) they've had a few other pleasant surprises that allow them to trade Foster for a package of second tier players or (b) they get someone in return who gives a realistic possibility of stud production.

It's now bump Battle. Or from the movie the Natural we could Bump Bailey, as in Dan, but he died in the Movie. That's sad.As for Foster, now that he's healthy he's worth any top 8 player or multiple future 1st rd rookie picks in dynasty.

Would he be worth 2 semi-studs that would fall between RB/WR top 10-20? It is clear you would trade stud for stud, but what would be the purpose at this point of trading Foster for Peterson or Forte (gasp)?

Only a guppy would trade for 2 middle tier players and give up a top 5 pick. /thread

I say Foster's worth Fred Jackson or Ryan Matthews and AJ Green or Santonio Holmes imo. But even with those offers I'm keeping Foster.

Jackson and Matthews have far different values, no? Same for AJ and Holmes. The best, it seems, would be Matthews and AJ?

Is there a particular reason you're looking to sell Foster for 2 mid range players?Or am I reading this wrong and youre looking to buy?
 
The owner of Foster is really struggling (0-5) and Foster is about all he has. I am blessed with semi-stud talent at both RB and WR and was wondering if it is worth giving up 2 quality players (say top 10 RB and top 8 WR) for Foster. Don't want this to become a "should I make this deal" thread...just want some thoughts on his value...in other words, would you put a hole in your starting lineup of 5 and have to play matchup in the 5-spot to get Foster on board? Is he that good?

Nah, not looking to trade him but I think that's his worth at the moment. He's just getting it started. As long as he stays healthy, he's gonna have some monster games.
 
Was just offered Frank Gore and Reggie Wayne for Foster. PPR league. don't plan to accept it, but if it were Gore and Miles Austin, maybe.

 
I gave Mendenhall and Dez for Foster. Stub RB are difference maker. And Foster is this kind of guys, especially in PPR

In dynasty, you'd have to grotesquely over-pay to pry him from me.I think the only players which would pique my interest in a trade would be Calvin, Ray Rice, or ADP.In redraft, I wouldnt trade him either b/c you've had to sit on him for 1/3 of the season, and probably have a losing record b/c of it. Now its time to go pedal-to-the-metal, and you dont do that with two mid-level players....

4-1 with foster all season :shrug:
 
As far as I'm concerned, if I had a league who held its draft today (redraft) I'd strongly consider Foster at #1 if I had it. He has what, 330 total yards in the 2 games he's played? Where are you going to find better production?

 
I just traded for him in a 12-team performance PPR league (bonus) that is a 2 keeper league (keep in 1 round before we drafted them). We start 1 RB, 1 WR and 2 flex.

I gave him Stafford and Best for Foster.

I also have Cam that I drafted in last round.

The rest of my team includes ADP, Fred Jackson, Vincent Jackson, Santonio holmes, and a few other scrubs.

Since I trade him to a guy 0-5 in the other division, i feel good about it.

Some people think I got a raw deal, but since I probably will have stafford on the bench the rest of the season, I felt I upgraded Best to Foster.

I was really looking to upgrade my WR, but just couldn't find anything that people were willing to give up a #1WR, which really surpised me, and Stafford+Best is a pretty good combo.

 
:D

He's baaaaaaack. Surprised that there hasn't been a Foster thread bumped today. Seemed that some people were sure that his value was decreasing due RBBC with Tate. I didn't watch the game, but did watch his numbers go up and up and up and up as it was happening. What was Tate's role yesterday?

Tate had 15 carries for 105 yards yesterday... still Foster is the clear #1 on the team. I'd expect Tate is getting a lot of carries A) Because the game was a blowout at some point why riisk Foster... B) With AJ still out the passing game just isn't as valuable as the running game right now in Houston. I'd say Tate starts to lose a lot of carries later in the season with AJ back.
 
In the weeks he's been fully active (4 through 7), Foster is the #1 scoring RB in PPG. If you want to drop out his big week 7 performance and just go weeks 4-6, he was the #6 RB in PPG. (.25 PPR for RB scoring)

I'd expect the running game to further open up when Andre Johnson is back.

First quarter Tate didn't get a touch until the third drive, when he came in as Foster took a breather after a 26 yard gain. Tate got 2 carries, one negated by penalty. Foster came back in, then later came out again for a breather and Tate got 1 more carry.2nd quarter he got one carry.3rd quarter Foster had a 17 yard run, and Tate came in and ripped off 2 long runs of his own then Foster came back in. Next series Foster 3 carries, Tate spelled him and got a carry, then Foster back in.4th quarter, Foster started with a few plays, then Tate got 2 long gains and had 1 chance from the two and then came out for Foster who got the TD. I think Kubiak likely kept Tate in to give him a shot at the TD since he got them there (runs of 15 and 10), but then took him out after he lost 2 yards from the 2. Last series Tate got 3 carries, Ward 2, Tate 2 more, and then Ward finished it out.Most of the game, Tate would come in for only 2 plays and then back out again. 8 of his 15 carries came in the 4th quarter, with 5 of them in the last drive with the game put away when he was the primary ball carrier.
 
I think Tate only helps Foster, and I would rather have it this way then Foster in there for every running play. Tate got another shot inside the 5 yard line for a TD, but couldn't punch it in. They went back to Foster immediately and he scored after 2 tries. The only way I see Tate hurting Foster's value is if he steals the goal line touches, and thus far he's been pretty bad at that role and the Kubiak knows it. Foster as the primary back with Tate giving him relief for 10-15 carries makes the Texan's running game very deadly. And with Johnson out, they need to utilize their RBs to a point where they would wear down just 1 back.

 
Trade Rejected

Team 1 offers Foster, Arian HOU RB;Johnson, Steve BUF WR;Little, Greg CLE WR

to

Team 2 for Murray, DeMarco DAL RB;Green, A.J. CIN WR;Johnson, Andre HOU WR

:goodposting: Every Foster owner should hope for Tate to be this effective.
 
Easy answer:

The owners that stuck by Foster expected this all along, and they know he's a stud. So you won't get Foster for anything less than one or two top tier players.

I wouldn't even consider Matthews or Green. No Foster owner would. Fred Jackson is in the conversation, although that seems like a lateral move.

Yea... only way I'd be even willing to discuss parting with Foster (and has been my stance since Week 1) is for Rodgers or Megatron. Those are about the only two players I'm willing to entertain a deal for, by the end of this season he will probably be a Top 5 overall RB and that will be with 3 weeks sitting out.

The team 2 owner just might be intrigued by Murray's performance, and may want to see where it goes from here. It might bite him in the butt like most recent Cowboys runningbacks have in FF, or it might pay off big time. I personally wouldn't have been able to click accept fast enough either. ;)

Tried to trade Fitzgerald and Sproles for him last week and was shot down. He wanted Megatron and Sproles which I wouldn't do. That was before his big week this week.
