Sell Rivers, not RG3
Rivers lost vincent Jackson and Vincent brown.

Whatever someone is willing to pay. The real question is, who needs a QB? So many QBs played at an above-average level this week. Sanchez and Gabbert will be sitting on WWs and they will probably finish top 10. Unless the league is deep, I don't see anyone going out of their way for a QB right now.

Agree on selling Rivers, not RG3.
I have RG3 behind Rodgers. I've sent some feelers to the only real QB-needy teams in our league. Guy with Schaub/Cassel said prob not Welker, but doug Martin could happen. Guy with Vick/Locker has Spiller, although I'd want to get a little more with him.
Really considering Doug Martin heads up though. RB2 is a group of Donald Brown, Kevin Smith, Michael Bush right now.

Agree with this - you have to luck into a QB needy team, or hope for a huge RG3 fan.

you have an overload at QB - might as well deal RG3 for a guy that is guaranteed carries on a weekly basis.

Yeah. Skins fan with a major man crush on RGIII.But if you already have Rodgers I'd deal him for D-Martin pretty quick. You could try to hold out for more but we are still talking about a rookie QB who WILL struggle at some point. Plus he's not gonna be in your lineup more than Rodger's bye week.Take Martin and don't look back. Starting RBs with 3 down ability are increasingly rare nowadays and a great commodity in FF.

Yeah, I agree. I'd jump on Martin and just run away smiling. That's a really solid deal getting a possible low-end RB1 all season for RG3 who may not even be as good as advertised in Week 1. With Rodgers you need not worry about anything unless he goes down. I'd sell for Martin easy.

Oh I'm pretty much planning on it if it comes down to it. Guy has Mcfadden and Peterson, so Martin is even somewhat expendable to the guy.

I agree with everyone here, if you can get Martin I'd consider that an absolute steal.
Not even that. I believe Rodgers and RG3 have same bye week.

I don't really believe in Bye Weeks when I'm drafting. I didn't take RG3 trying to get a bye week fill in, I took him for this exact reason.

You acquired Gore, or RG3? Your first sentence seems to indicate you went and got RG3. Your second indicates you now have Gore.

Yea sorry. I had Gore, acquired RGIII. Was just trying to show what I had before the trade.

Yup, definitely like it. Much rather have RG3 to your 2 previous QBs, and Gore was pretty much dead weight among your RBs.

I drafted RG3 to backup Ryan but he's been on the block since the draft ended, hoping someone would buy into the hype and overpay. I offered him to the only QB-needy team in the league (Fitz/Locker) prior to week 1, hoping I could spin Griffin and F.Davis into Jimmy Graham. I struck out, but after an awful week 1 that same team has come calling, offering me Bowe/Leshoure. I'm holding out for Graham.

Update to my Doug Martin pursuit from above in my 12 team PPR.
He was (rightfully) a little more stubborn with Doug E Fresh, but we struck a deal.
I send RG3 & Donald Brown
for
Doug Martin & Brandon Lafell
Leaves me with Rodgers at QB, and now McCoy (acquired preseason trade, before you ask how I got McCoy & Rodgers), Martin, KSmith, Hillis, Michael Bush, & Vereen. May not be done moving RBs yet. Lafell slides into my mess of options at WR3 including him, James Jones, Donald Jones, Austin Collie.
That's my next project, shoring up that WR3 spot. Kenny Britt, I'm coming for you boy.

Welp, maybe I should've waited 1 more week. Another huge game, and my trade target had stinkers from McFadden & Peterson, and would've had a turd game from Schaub. Still happy with my Doug Martin score though, even if things were quiet for him this week.
Blasphemy, but maybe I should've traded Rodgers instead of RG3?!
