    Default RGIII & Smith for Forte?

    12 team league (not a keeper!)

    PPR, bonuses at 300 yards passing and 100 yards rec/rush

    Offered Matt forte for my RG3 and Steve Smith (CAR)

    My team:
    QB - RG3
    WR - Welker
    WR - Smith
    WR - A. Brown (PIT)
    RB - McCoy
    RB - Peterson
    TE - Pettigrew
    Flex - Bowe

    BN - Amendola
    BN - Tate
    BN - Redman
    BN - Gerhart
    BN - Roethlisberger


    Thinking I should take it and plug Big Ben into QB... seems like PITT are intent on airing it out this year

    I really like Forte in PPR leagues because he is pretty much a lock for 50 receptions and I don't your going to miss much by replacing RGIII with Roethlisberger but I don;t like what this trade does to the depth of your team. Any way you could get him to also throw in another QB or WR?

    Unfortunatley thats the deal, he's not willing to add.

    I'm not concerned about the WR/RB depth, making the move based on being a little thin on RB and deep at WR. After the move I think i'm fairly deep at WR/RB with 3 legit staters, and Amendola/Tate/Redman are ok flex plays.

    QB is the worry. fitspatrick is on waivers, I could grab him

    Fair enough... another option at QB could be Russell Wilson if he's still available, if not Fitzpatrick is a solid backup

    A lot of ?s. Is Forte truly healthy? I have my doubts. However, in a PPR, i'd take Forte. RGIII is a nice talent, but Washington doesn't really have the weaponry to make him all that fantasy relevant. Smith is hurt, too. Scoop Forte.

    Forte was never truly hurt. He could have played later in the year last season but was held back becaus ethe bears were out. Forte even played in the pro bowl. My clinical impression is that forte had a sprain of his mcl or acl. Not scary at all
