Haven't gotten any offers for him yet and won't be overly shopping him either. Got him as a throw in on a trade after week 1 and now it's looking like he'll be replace my RB2.
THE UNDERCOVER BROTHA
Footballguy
traded the best team in the league future 1st for Slaton and a future 3rd 2 weeks ago.

I was curious on gameday to see how he would do - I am pleasantly surprised he did that well and he is getting some attention from other owners. I would love to hear what he is going for, so keep the reports coming.
Personally I have a decent RB depth, so I may try and move him. Thinking of pairing him up with Warner for a top Qb to a team that is struggling with RBs. Maybe to the FWP owner, too.

I am extremely glad to have him. I was short on RB depth and hoping someone would emerge. He looked good Sunday. I wonder about his durability though. I have contemplated offering to the guy in my league with worse RB depth than me for Witten, but I think I'd have to add someone else.
My other thought was to package him with Delhomme and offer him to the same owner for either Santana Moss (whom I don't really like) or Jennings (whom I'm sure he wouldn't give up.)

you think you'll be able to get a better running back in the second next year than slaton

Thinking about offering Slaton/Bryant Johnson for Steve Smith (Car). No official offer yet but initial inquiries have the Steve Smith owner mulling it over.

yeah, you think that's lopsided? (if so, which way?)Seriously?

That should get rejected as well.

I put out an offer just to test the waters:
Warner, Cassel, Slaton, Colston
for
P. Manning, Felix Jones, Calvin Johnson
Mixed feelings on it, but I wanted to get the ball rolling. If he buys into Slaton I could see him accepting. But I am unsure whether I want to let Colston go for playoff time. Just an initial offer, so we'll see.
ETA: Just realized another guy is sitting CHad Ocho and has zero RBs, seems like a fair trade, offered it up.

Mixed feelings?
If you eliminated the QBs from both sides, maybe he would go for it.

I think whats more important than trading for/away Slaton is keeping Slaton and trading you drafted RB2. Depending on who you have as a RB2, its a fairly risky play to try to depend on Slaton each week, but you might be able to greatly improve your QB1 or WR2 trading away your current RB2.

Sorry to hijack -You're saying it was a terrible offer? He doesn't have any RBs..I think Lendale, Felix and Deangelo are his starters. It's a starting point, I might be inclided to include Thomas Jones rather than Slaton. To be honest, I don't really need to make any deals (3-0, total points leader - not bragging just providing information), just trying to minimally improve at this point. His WR depth isn't bad either, so who knows.Mixed feelings?If you eliminated the QBs from both sides, maybe he would go for it.

It was a terrible offer. You consider a terrible offer to be a starting point, I consider it to be extremely annoying.Sorry to hijack -You're saying it was a terrible offer?

So stating that you are 3-0 and total points leader is relevant how?
Who the f- cares?
Excited about being 3-0 aren't we?

For some reason I was assuming this was a dynasty league. My bad. If it's redraft, it's not nearly as one-sided. In a dynasty it would take a lot more than that to get Peyton and Calvin.Sorry to hijack -You're saying it was a terrible offer?

late last week i was offered holt for slaton, got a 4th tossed in and took it. not sure i am happy about it but with Portis, Gore, Perry, Mendenhall already rostered I didnt expect him to see the starting lineup. With TO, R White, VJax (SD) and Mark Clayton help at WR was needed. I think if i had waited until this week i could have landed a better wr like Housh....

not sure trading your RB2 in a keeper league is prudent. advice was more for redrafts

First, there is at least one person here who cares about me being 3-0 (hint, he is posting). Second, I stunk last year, so yeah, I am a bit excited about being 3-0 this year.It was a terrible offer.

Third, I forgot posting on a fantasy football forum was serious business, I apologize for spoiling your day.

Guy was willing to trade me Ocho Cinco for my Slaton but I declined...with a little persuasion from Jeff T.

is that true? i ask out of ignorance mainly. i just traded chris chambers for randy moss in a PPR league and i am having buyer's remorse, so i am hoping you are right.I know people who would love both sides of that deal. Was hardly worth an icon blast.Phlash said:gorf said:

MY RB's MB III, Turner, Slaton, DeAngelo Williams
QB's, TJO and Cambell
was offered (QB)Rodgers for Cambel and Slaton
or
(TE) Gates or (TE) Fasano (we get 3 points per rec. for TE, my other TE is Whitten) for Slaton
have not decided if I want to ok either trade.
Might do the first trade if they throw in RB Taylor or Jacobs

Dynasty league
I traded the rights to Slaton and late 3rd next year for Jacob Hester and what looks like early 1st next year(top 5).
Even with only LT at RB and Green as my backup, I thought Slaton would never be a go to guy and while 1 good game, lets wait and see,
I am pretty happy with the deal as 2 QB league and with Crabtree, Stafford and Tebow going early, I should be in line for a really good RB.

foolish. Slaton is a flash in the pan. Chad Johnson is a stud on a bad team.
MCguidance
Footballguy
Yeah, I thought of this as well. My WRs are Fitz, Marshall, and Colston. Do I really need Ocho for the interim? Or should I keep the depth at RB? It really is the question a lot of teams face. I could have a great starting lineup or have very good depth.
