It Happened

Can't trade Foster to anyone in my 10 team league. Of course him being $42 makes it hard to move him but I wasn't expecting the market to dry up. Foster is done.

trading foster is one thing....trading foster at the price of 42 bucks in what im assuming is a 200 salary is gonna be damn near impossible

Yeah I just gotta keep him at this point. Been trying to aquire him for yrs and the 1 yr I have him he goes to crap.

I think Foster has actually looked good, and that they need to stop giving the ball to Tate so much. Foster can take over a game when he can develop his 'rhythm', but the over-incorporation of Tate limits his ability to do that. Kubiak used to say, when referring to Foster, that the 'great ones' need to be given the ball as much as possible. Like the Giants, the Texans aren't going anywhere until they get the ball to their best back on a regular basis.

Tate averaging 6.8ypc and Foster 3.9ypc...ya they need to get foster the ball more...

Sorry man! That sucks, yeah ride him this year then cut him if you can

They struggled last year when Tate was in the lineup. Sure he can break off explosive runs, but he doesn't catch the ball as well and he doesn't consistently make the right reads. Foster isn't as explosive, but he can take over a game and keep an offense on track in a way that Tate can't. Why does Fred Jackson take carries from Spiller, under two different coaching staffs now? Because he makes the right decisions. It's not just about yards per carry.

I have no dogs in this race so I don't care and I agree with you to a point about Foster needing to get in a rhythm but tate is just wayyy to explosive to phase out imo.

Trading Foster at that price is impossible. I think you're stuck with him, sorry to say. But I disagree when you say he's done. No he's not going to give you the elite numbers like a few years ago. But you will still get serviceable numbers. It's not like he's dropped off the face of the earth.

Something else to remember is how much time Foster missed in the off/pre season. He is off to a slow start but should be steping up soon.

If only everything happened in fantasy football as they should happen, this game would be a lot easier.

Hold on, I think I got a nibble. Ill report if its successful.

I did it. Not sure if I like it but I did it.

I give:
Foster
Sidney rice
2014 3rd round pick

I get:
Vereen
2014 1st round pick (team is currently in 9th place)
DHB

At $42.50 I can't have Foster getting me single digit pts, I think if/when he bombs against Seahawks D this week you'll see a massive drop in his trade value. It was either this trade or Foster/Gates/Rice for Tavon/Finley and current 1st place team's 2014 1st rounder (and other pieces to make it fit under cap). I decided to go for what should be a very nice late season RB and excellent flex player in Vereen and what should be a top 3 2014 pick. At $42.50 Foster is virtually unkeepable and with our trade deadline 6 weeks away I haven't seen enough out of him to think he'd turn it around. It is what it is.

Howdy, Stranger!
