Is it time to trade CuMar?

As of this point in the season, what RBs do you guys see as better prospects than Curtis Martin for the rest of the season? I am thinking that his value has topped and he will drop off to more reasonable stats the rest of the season, but as of right now he is easily leading the league in FF points. Scoring is standard with 1 point per reception. Priest LT? S Alexander? Portis? Also, Chris Brown was drafted in the 11th round and this is a keeper league - unlimited keepers, yet you lose the pick + 3 rounds. At 4-2, I am very much in the thick of things - am I crazy to consider trying to get Brown for CuMar? Because of a good draft on my part in latter rounds this year, I could become a dynasty in future years, but I don't want to ruin my chances this year. FYI, here are some projected keepers along with where I drafted them (14 teams, 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 RB/WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 D): Roy Williams (8th round) Steve Smith (11th round - actually 14th round in 2003) Big Ben (15th round) Antonio Bryant (16th round) Terry Glenn (18th round)

| I agree, bg, that Martin's value now is as high as it can get/will ever get (again). So, employing the "stock market" method of fantasy football, now is a good time to move him (especially in deep keeper leagues). He may not slow down this year, though he will inevitably continue to age (ever-increasingly in football life) with every passing week and carry. It all just depends on whether you like the "futures" (to put it in "market" terms) of the players you can get for him more or not. It's a good time to shop him, for sure; it may or may not be a good time to move him, but it's not a bad time to, either: you'll likely get more than he is worth (in the long haul and perhaps also at the end of the day this season).
