Trade offer is off.

The Bengals have released Benjarvus Green Ellis, promoting Jeremy Hill to #2, adding value as a flex player, and not merely a handcuff anymore.

I said the Graham offer (whichever it was) was good until my other trade in another league was completed. I have completed it, so have satisfied my "trade urge", and no longer have an interest in either Graham, Ball or Bush.

Ill get back to you if i see any future value (clearly personal urges) arise.

Right, I'm gonna drop him, cos I was hoping that....hmmm?!?... Wait a minute!
Man, it's too early for mind games!! At least let me have lunch!
What's happening, are they using Sanchez as a Full Back instead?
Oh I'm scared now... What do I do?

I tried, you cant say i didnt.
I even went as far as offering DThomas and Bernard for Graham and Bush.

I needed west because im not too optimistic on Tate's durability, and could have used Graham or JThomas as chips to get them, ellington and potentially Bryant as well.

But I offered deadlines, when they passed, I had no option but to scrap the whole trade.

I will look at my options and see what happens over the first week or two of the season.

Stringer, dont fall for the Sproles lack of interest.
He is more than likely going to get 1000 combined yards and 4-6 touchdowns, which isnt great, but it will shoot up once mccoy misses a game or two, then mick will come back to you.
Stash Sproles on your bench, dont release him. He is more valuable than Mick is trying to let on.

also, the release of benjarvus green ellis has added about 1000 yards, which will be split between bernard and hill, as well as his 6 touchdowns.

There are almost 3000 yards that need to be covered by Bernard and Hill, and another 18-20 touchdowns. Law firm being released added maybe 2 rounds to my 14th round pick and changed his potential in my team from just a handcuff, to a viable flex option some weeks.

btw stringer, did you realise you picked up West about 40 picks before his ADP?

Sproles is NOT McCoy's handcuff.

He will get those yards, but return yards don't count here (do they?)
======================

He is not Mccoys handcuff, which is why he is valuable. He could easily fill in for some of Jackson's yards last year, and has the potential to form a committee should mccoy go down.
Admittedly, his value is far greater for Mick than for anyone else in the league (both personally and teamwise), but his value will go up greatly SHOULD mccoy go down, either trade bait or flex, maybe rb2?

Williams would never of started for me.
I was interested to see if Sproles was gonna be used as both a RB and a receiver...
Oh well...

I believe that to start the season in fantasy you need wins and the bench is for upside.
Sproles is full of upside.
If not purely points, he is in a position at a team where he could find himself starting. Maclin, polk both injury potential, mccoy will get so many touches and as a result, hits, its plausible he picks up a knock.
