L.Miller for S.Ware + E.Rogers - WHIR (1 Viewer)

[Rnock]

Hello,

This is for a 16 team 0.5 PPR league. I am 4-6 and need to win this week for a shot at the playoff's.

Should I trade:

• Lamar Miller (@Oak)
  

And Receive:

• Spencer Ware (TB)
  
• Eli Rogers (@Cle)
  

I like Ware a lot more this week and I don't think he is huge downgrade from Miller, if at all.

Also It's beyond sad, but I would start Eli Rogers as my WR2 this week. (Ty.Williams on BYE, and J.Maclin injured, and WW is thin in 16 team)

Should I make this trade?

Here is the team in question: (Only need to start 1 RB)

4-6 Record - 16 Team 0.5 PPR league (1QB, 1RB, 2WR, 1TE, 2Flex, K, Def, 5Bench) 

QB - M.Stafford, J.Flacco

RB - L.Miller, T.Hightower, C.Ivory

WR - TY.Hilton, T.Montgomery, Ty.Williams, J.Maclin, J.Brown

TE - J.Reed, J.Graham

Usually I would advise against giving away the best player in a trade, but in this case and your situation I think it makes sense.  You have to win so this seems to fit.

I also think that Ware is very close to Miller.  Oakland is no pushover and Lamar Miller may have an injury (no one seems certain but the back-ups both played a lot last week).  It is too bad that Williams has a bye and Maclin is injured.  I would do the trade... gives you a better chance to win.

I am not so sure that Miller is the best player in this trade.  He has a nagging shoulder injury that isn't getting any better and it has affected his snaps the last few games.  Ware is the only guy in town for KC and is a dual threat for rushing and receiving every week.  The offense runs through him.  I would make that deal easily and would prefer Ware over Miller going forward for the rest of the year so getting Rodgers in addition is just a bonus.
