I think Vereen is going to take over the NE job in week 11. Ridley has done nothing to date, and there is no reason to think he will. Also, vereen is probably going to be the better back for PPR come playoff time. Still Alshon isn't proven enough to take this trade. I would tell the guy no, but wait 2 weeks, if Alshon continues to put up good numbers, I would do this trade.
This isn't a bad trade either way though. He thinks he is selling high on both of those guys and buying low. I'm not sold on Ridley turning it around period.
