[21:46] <Edible> It's called buying low, trading reliable starters for players that aren't performing up to their draft stock is pretty common practice
[21:48] <Edible> Charles is a gamble at best for the rest of the season, it's clear he's no longer the focal point of the offense
[21:48] <Edible> Plus he's injured still
^ To add to the above, Fitz is completely useless as long as Kolb is throwing the ball, as proved against the Pats last week. I also should point out that Decker is averaging 8 targets a game on the Broncos, whereas Kolb targets Fitz an average of 5 times a game (a similar trend to when he was throwing the ball last year), because he tends to give up on deep plays and check down a lot. While I won't deny Ben Tate is the backup on the Texans, he still has more touches than the average starting RB and is used in the red zone at least as much as Foster. That's a very even trade for a guy who is now competing with two other RBs on the Chiefs, who spend most of their time passing the ball.
However, even if I think the trade was fair and the numbers add up for it, this is a for-fun league and I'm not going to try to screw anyone. yuyukos: If you feel that strongly against it, I will leave both Charles and Fitz on the bench this week. Let me know.
