Trade advice: Ingram for Ryan (1 Viewer)

[Scooter71]

Standard ESPN non-PPR 10-team dynasty league.

I am hurting at QB (Palmer, Taylor, Kaepernick) and have been offered Matt Ryan for Mark Ingram.

It will hurt my depth at RB. I would still have D. Johnson, C. Michael, McKinnon, Rawls, Smallwood, Henry, Peterson (IR), and K. Williams.

I am growing increasingly frustrated with Payton's use of Ingram. He's not seeing many goal line chances, and Cadet is vulturing a lot of 3rd down work. If he keeps up his hot play, Ryan could get me an additional 5-8 points a week.

Pull the trigger?

With the RB's you have losing Ingram isn't really a huge blow to your starting lineup.  Ryan seems to be the guy this year so I think it's worth the risk to go for it.  I would then look to trade at least one of your other QB's to replace some of your RB depth

Assuming you have enough WR depth to fill any flex spots, I would do it, you've got enough RB depth that you'll be ok.  It's very hard to trust Palmer at QB right now and Seattle is next on the schedule. 

If you do it, then Kaepernick is droppable I would think.

Thanks, guys. I went ahead and included Kap in the trade as he was expendable anyway. Trade is done, and I now am a Matty Ice owner.

And to answer wlwiles, yes, I have plenty of WR depth to fill my flex position for the ROS.
