ric0 23 Posted October 9, 2007 my team (bye): RB Larry Johnson, KC RB (8) RB Michael Pittman*, TB RB O (10) RB/WR Roy Williams, Det WR (6) WR Reggie Wayne, Ind WR (6) WR Braylon Edwards, Cle WR (7) TE Antonio Gates, SD TE (7) Bench Steven Jackson*, StL RB O (9) Ben Roethlisberger, Pit QB (6) Bo Scaife, Ten TE Kevin Jones, Det RB (6) Roddy White, Atl WR (8) Derrick Mason, Bal WR (8) his team: RB Shaun Alexander, Sea RB P (8) RB Maurice Jones-Drew, Jac RB RB/WR Kenton Keith, Ind RB (6) WR Chris Chambers, Mia WR (9) WR Dwayne Bowe, KC WR (8) TE Dallas Clark, Ind TE (6) Bench Marc Bulger, StL QB P (9) Lee Evans, Buf WR (6) Andre Johnson, Hou WR Q (10) Julius Jones, Dal RB (8) Mike Furrey, Det WR (6) Selvin Young, Den RB (6) Dominic Rhodes, Oak RB We start 1QB/2RB/2WR/1 Flex (WR/RB)/1 TE Since getting hit with injuries at the RB position (SJax, Caddilac, and now Pittman), I'm low on RBs. Only thing is, if I take the trade, I'll only be able to start K Jones at RB since the rest are on bye. I'd rather counter with r williams and mason for alexander and another RB but addai should be coming back, MJD been inconsistent, and I'm not sure what the situation's going to be with T Henry in Denver. edit:he's now counter-offered for sjax + (braylon, reggie, or r williams) for alexander. he's not interested in a straight up trade for one receiver. i think sjax will be hopefully back by week 8. would i be giving up too much?

AHill84006 0 Posted October 9, 2007 I don't think I'd trade 2 WRs for 2 RBs....yeah I understand about your injuries, but that will leave you REAL thin at WR. Maybe offer 1 for 1 instead of 2 for 2. Surely there are bye week opportunities on your wavier wire at RB. Wynn?? Dayne?? I know those guys are not the best in the world, but would do for 1 week.

Sportslitter 0 Posted October 9, 2007 Try getting Alexander, Julius Jones, and Lee Evans. He may want to dump Evans after his poor performances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lamb of God 15 Posted October 9, 2007 I would simplify that trade a bit because frankly both of those wr's are better than those rb's. Offer Braylon for SA straight up and I wouldn't want JJ on my team anyway since he hardly plays. Try that and see what he says. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thesaint78 0 Posted October 9, 2007 I would also simplify by offering Edwards for Alexander straight up, Williams is way better then J Jones. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=294657 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ric0 23 Posted October 10, 2007 he's now counter-offered for sjax + (braylon, reggie, or r williams) for alexander. i think sjax will be back by week 8. would i be giving up too much? leave a link. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Plexx 0 Posted October 10, 2007 I really like edwards, roy williams I would probably trade, but theres no way you can give up Sjax and one of these guys for an underperforming shaun imo. I doubt he'd do 1 WR for Shaun, but I don't think you can give 2 of those WRs up. If you still don't mind giving 2 up or want to give up Sjax and one of your WRS try an at least get Bowe or Chambers from him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enricopulazzo 0 Posted October 10, 2007 I watch the Cowboys every week, do not touch JJ - he's soft, dances around too much and it's only a matter of time before he's a 3rd down back. I would try a trade straight up your WR for Alexander. The fact that there's news about Alexander sharing more carries with Maurice may have Alexander's owner anxious to trade him away. Try Braylon or Roy straight up for Alexander. You still would have Wayne and you would have 2 great WR's still. thanks for mine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
surfnturf3g01 0 Posted October 10, 2007 Go with Roy for Alexander (if he'll buy it)...Braylon is going to have a monster year (already on his way) ...don't get me wrong, I love Roy Williams as well...but betcha by the end of the year Edwards has better stats/more TDs...plus look @ Edwards schedule during Fantasy playoff time!!! please see mine: http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=294748 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rottytiny 7 Posted October 10, 2007 Don't give up 2 WRs, it'll leave you too thin, se if you can get Alexander for 1 of your WRs. Try Edwards for SA. I like Roy alittle better then Edwards, hes in a pass first offense and has a better QB, IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tgengler4 0 Posted October 10, 2007 I don't think you can give up that much for Alexander. He would have been worth it a couple years back, but I just don't think he is going to return to that form. And as you said Jackson should be back in a couple of weeks. I think Jackson will perform better in the second half of the season, at least as good at Alexander.

If you still don't mind giving 2 up or want to give up Sjax and one of your WRS try an at least get Bowe or Chambers from him. I agree that you would be giving up way too much for an underperforming and aging S. Alexander. I would look elsewhere if possible. Those WR's alone in a straight up trade should be able to get you a solid RB. Thanks for mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dano_mano 0 Posted October 10, 2007 I'd sit tight for now, but even better if you look for a better RB on the trade. One thing to consider is that Kitna is one sack shy of a big concussion, and Roy's production will drop like a rock if that happens. Trade him as high as you can.

smartgenius 0 Posted October 11, 2007 I would sit tight, too. You expose yourself too much ifyou take the trade and probably won't get value....SA is supposed to be losing more carries to his backup, too. Thanks for seeing mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
