    T. Jones straight up, or T. Jones with DeSean? We are all UVA grads, so there is a certain psychological appeal to Jones.

     

    Oh, and my idea behind including DeSean was just that he needs some more WR help while Colston is out. I actually think Welker would be a better fit for that deal, but Welker's got a bye in week 4, which makes the idea of spelling the injured Colston seem a little disingenuous.

     

    You have to separate yourself from that We Tigers :D . I'm a Penn State grad, but I'm not touching Engram, LJ or Kerry Collins to name a few stinkers. I'll just say that I like Graham more than T.Jones. I'm in NJ and watch alot of Jets. They're the same old Jets. Almost lost to Miami in week 1. Only a matter of time before Leon Washington toting the ball.

    How many WRs and many RBs do you start? If it's something near the norm, I think you take this deal. You have stellar depth at RB *and* you're getting Lewis back. Smith replacing Driver is a huge boost for your WRs, as you get a first-option in place of all the #2s you have now, and Jamal Lewis for McFadden really mitigates any loss you might have.

     

    Before the trade, you have 2 RBs you can start with confidence, one hot rookie with a lot of potential, and an injured but strong RB.

     

    After the trade, you have 2 RBs you can start with confidence, one dependable veteran, and an injured but strong RB. And a top-level receiver, possibly top 10 when the year's done. I like it a lot.

     

    Take a look at mine when you get a minute?

     

    We start 2 RB's and 2 WR's. Thanks for the reply.

    While a great WR would be a better fit, this is still a great opportunity to build some depth. S.Jax can only go up and he'll get half the Ram's offense- whatever that may be. I am high on Graham, but giving up Desean isn't really that much more. Have you tried to peddle T.Jones? He's the first guy I'd try to dangle. If not, make the offer. He could be desperate enough to go for it.

    In a PPR league, the trade is

     

    Steve Smith and Jamal Lewis

    for

    McFadden and Driver

     

    Other players at RB and WR:

    RB: Lynch, Graham, Grant, Perry

    WR: Roy Williams, Harrison

     

    To me the idea of Steve Smith is almost always better than Steve Smith, but still it's Steve Smith!

     

    A starting WR tandem of Smith and Roy would be nice and I'd still have Lynch and Graham-with Grant hopefully getting healthy one day. The big fear is that I'm giving away the next great back with Fargas out. But then again, McFadden's stock may never be higher.

     

    Please chime in and I will respond to yours.

    I have DeAngelo Williams and Ray Rice. The other team has McGahee and Stewart. He just offered me Stewart for Rice straight up. Perfect trade opportunity right? We each backup our backfields, plus I get the "better" rookie back. But for the following reasons, I don't think I should accept the trade.

    -I have no RB depth- I need all the potential starters I can get.

    -McGahee might be washed up.

    -Williams shouldn't lose this job unless he's injured.

    -Maybe most importantly, he needs Rice alot more than I need Stewart right now. So why help him?

     

    I might be overthinking this one- hence the post.

     

    Appreciate your insight.

    I kind of like the approach that the guru is taking this year. Instead of just giving the most points to the consensus top players each week, they're going out on a limb and predicting stats by player, by week. While you may not agree with the predicitions, I think the approach is fresh.

    Nothing wrong with this draft. Just looks like you drafted with 11 other guys who know what they're doing. You're also suffering from Mossitis- a condition that impacts the rest of your team when you draft the top WR. I like Delhomme. Lynch and Turner are both pretty solid. I'm not as high on HOlmes as most. I think you may find that you start Driver more than Holmes eventually- not this week. Go with Holmes this week and Young. The fins could get behind early taking Ricky out of the game.

    D.Williams @ SD and C.Perry @ Baltimore.

    PPR league. Gotta start one of these guys. Would typically lean towards Williams. Althought I think the Panthers could be awfully good this year, I'm not crazy about them until Smith returns.

    Perry has some nice pass catching skills for my PPR league, which I think should keep him in the game even if they fall behind. But then again it's Cinncy on the road.

    Seems about right. He's been going somewhere between 5-8 in my drafts. I think he'll perform like a top 10 back this year (despite the other issues), but for the folks who look at the weekly performances seeing no more than 72 yards rushing over each of the last 8 weeks of the season has to be at least a little disconcerting. If you feel you got a value pick here- be happy.
