Trade now on hype?

Ok, so my team is weak at RB, and i'm thinking of trading some bench WRs to improve. Here are my starters...12 man, No PRR

QB - Flacco
WR - A Johnson
WR - B Marshall
Flex - Desean Jax
RB - R Grant
RB - Felix Jones
TE - T Gonzo

BN - M Floyd
BN - M Williams (TB)

BN - F Jackson
BN - M Hardesty
BN - B Scott

Now, since both Floyd & Williams are getting some preseason hype/love...should I pawn them off now to get a decent RB2, or wait it out and see if they get off to a good start and possibly get an even better RB? I see people out there saying 1000yd/8+td for Floyd. Thoughts?

I guess the question really comes down to the probably of these two being busts.

If someone trades for williams, they are fricking idiot. floyd, maybe. but he will probably net you a cadillac williams or arian foster type, at best.

You won't get anyone better than Grant or Jones

but I'd still trade Floyd to the highest bidder

Try Floyd for Foster, both players have huge upside this year but might end up being busts.

I think I'd take one of them. I just need some RB depth. Felix as a #2 scares me. No chance at Foster though, a big Texans fan took him early.

The guy who has Cadillac has crap WRs, I could possibly swing that. Even if he doesn't have a fantastic year, I could spot play him or Felix on matchups or who is hot/cold.

Is this because you think Jones will have a decent year, or because Floyd doesnt have much trade value?

both

I think Felix will have a solid year. It's hard to ignore his 6 yards per carry last year so he'll be getting the ball more. He was starting to get it more towards the end of last year as he had double digit carries in each of his last 4 games.

If they can just give him 13-15 carries a game he's gonna have a very solid year for a #2 back

As for Floyd, yeah he has as big of trade value as he's ever had so you'll be able to get something for him, but it's still not terribly high as he's yet to really prove anything and noone knows what's gonna happen with Vincent

Can Floyd be a legit #1 guy there where he can catch 80 balls? Maybe, but I'm not so sure of it

If he could get either of those backs, I'd take it, run, and don't look back
