Trade Opinions?

[cardinalempire 0]

Ok, here's the situation. I have a lot of RB depth I am trying to get rid of in order to upgrade my WR corps. I offered an owner Adrian Peterson and Anquan Boldin for Terrell Owens and Thomas Jones. He came back asking for Rudi Johnson.

 

My fears with Peterson are Chester Taylor and the rookie wall. If he holds up, though, you have to like his schedule better with the Giants, Lions, and 49ers on the fantasy playoff schedule. Also there is concern about Rudi being involved if Palmer is throwing the ball 50 times a game. The projections I have seen actually give Peterson more total yardage and TD's for the rest of the season.

 

Thoughts?

 

My Team

QB - McNabb, Kitna

RB - FWP, Rudi, Adrian Peterson (MIN), Lamont Jordan

WR - Boldin, Calvin Johnson, Bernard Berrian, Mark Clayton, Ronald Curry

TE - Gates

DEF - Pittsburgh

K - Elam

 

Start: QB, RB, WR, WR, RB/WR, TE, K, DEF

You are in a VERY similiar situation to me. Take a look here:

I think the deal that you offered is pretty fair, and now he is just trying to one up you.

See I think you are in a good situation with a lot of depth at RB but I dont think he asked for too much when he asked for Rudi. I think that TO kind of makes the deal in your favor and he needs something of that quality in return. TO is a great addition, but losing Rudi may hurt just as much, if not more. What it really comes down to is your gut. If you feel like you should make, make it. Its your team, but beware.

As a MN fan, I don't think you're going to see nearly as much of Taylor once he returns. ADP is solid for 18-20 carries a game because the MIN offense desperately needs him on the field. The ONLY reason he won't get a massive workload is concerns about his health as a rookie. That being said, I don't think that upgrading from Boldin to TO is worth losing the steady contribution of Rudi, unless you can get a RB in return with more consistency that Thomas Jones.

Is this even advice? I think that's you laying down all possible angles and telling me to choose. If I could do that, I wouldn't be posting the question in the first place.

 

Thanks for the bump, though...

I think you have offered a fair trade as well - Jones won't do much this season IMO.

 

Really though you have to decide what is important - your RB's are pretty good so I don't see you missing a beat without Rudi and TO is going to be sick all year.

 

I would think in the long run you would be better off even if you did overpay a little for TO.

 

Any insight on mine is appreciated: My Trade Issue

You made a nice offer, it's actually good gor both teams,

although losing a consistant Rudi Johnson would hurt your team.

 

I would not accept his counter offer.

 

I do like Adrian Peterson to do very well this year and beyond.

I think Chestah will be slowly phased out, eventually

assuming a fulltime backup role.

 

plz see....

If you were in a 2RB and 2WR only league then maybe, but I wouldn't do it because you get to play a flex. To me:

 

Rudi

FWP

Peterson

Boldin

C. Johnson

 

is a much better lineup than:

 

FWP

TO

C. Johnson

and any 2 of Peterson/Jordan/T. Jones/Berrian

 

You'd be giving up two no-brainer, every week starters for one definite starter and a season full of headaches about who else to start.

Keep in mind that there is only ONE RB position, not two. In other words, I can start 2RB/2WR or 1RB/3WR. I would agree with your assessment if I could start 3 RB's every week.

I think you do it. You start fwp and l. Jordan. L. jordan is going to be a monster. you don't need rudi. But TO would make your WR situation much better. I f you feel boldin is going to have a good year then you might want to counter with berrian and fwp for TO and T jones.

[vicksdawgs 0]

I think you need to get this guy to give you TO regardless of what it takes. Your deep in RBs and would suck to lose Rudi but you have enough to make up for it. TO gives you an every week receiver who will end up being top 5 this year. Try to give as little as possible but get him on your team to play this week!

[theyhateme 0]

for the fact that you can only start up to 2 rbs i would pull the trigger , i think peterson is capable of putting up rudi type #s and you have jordan so your rbs will be just fine and youre getting a sure shot top 5 wr in owens, the only thing i would change is i would try to take boldin out of the mix and offer a lesser wr like berrian with rudi for t.o. and jones,see if he goes for it

[tj houshmazilli 0]

i would do it as well.

 

i think ad will put up rudi's numbers as well. getting t.o. now is great for you as he is blazing a trail. i see him putting up MONSTER numbers now that he is happy.

 

i agree with putting a lesser wr with rudi as well.

[The Train 0]

I would definitely go for it. I feel like I am always in the position of not having a good WR corps. I just never jump on a stud WR in the early rounds of the draft. The end result is I am stuck with a #2 guy in my #1 spot. I think the trade being offered is awesome. I would jump on it in a heartbeat. I am trying to do the same thing, but unfortunately for me I can't really give up Rudi Johnson. My backup is Ladell Betts, who will do nowhere near anything Lamont does.

 

Go with it and just consider what your team will look like. Having Jordan + FWP is great IMO, as is having TO in WR.

[deckard 0]

With your starting format I think that you have enough depth at RB to pull the trigger, painful as it might seem.

 

 

thanks for you input on mine.

[throttlers 0]

I'm not big on Jones. I think you are overpaying. The Drop from Rudi to Jones is bigger than the gain you get from Boldin to T.O. Is there another player you can ask for besides Jones?

Thanks for answering mine.

 

I'm not crazy about Jones either. As long as the Jets are hurting at QB, teams are going to gear up to stop their run and make Clemens or an injured Pennington throw to beat them. That said, I wholeheartedly believe TO will be the #1 WR by the year's end (or close to it). So I think your original offer is fair. Don't bite on the Rudi deal -- if he won't take your original offer, go elsewhere.
