Me_2006 14 Posted September 2, 2006 Alright, I'm in a 10-team standard scoring league. Passing TD's 4pts and all the others score you 6. Yardage, Defense and kicking are the usual. We start 1 QB, 1 RB, 1 RB/WR, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 D/ST, 1 K. Post draft, my roster looked like this: QB- E. Manning RB- Sjax Dunn Foster Barlow Jacobs Staley WR- Chad Johnson Plaxico Burress Roy Williams Deion Branch Drew Bennett Nate Burleson TE- Alge Crumpler D/ST- Dolphins K- Vanderjagt I signed the Redskins D off waivers, and dropped Staley. I was pretty happy with my team, but felt that it lacked a true superstar that I could count on week in and week out to carry me to victory. So I made some trades. I traded Brandon Jacobs to the Tiki owner for Gore. I traded Roy Williams and Kevan Barlow for Randy Moss I traded Plaxico Burress, DeShaun Foster and Deion Branch for Shaun Alexander and Rod Smith Now, obviously SA and Moss are upgrades over the players I traded for them, but my depth that I was so happy to have, is basically gone. These trades have been accepted and I'm just waiting on them to process on September 3rd at about 5 pm. Should I pull these off the table, save the depth, and stick with what I had? Or do I go through with them, lose my depth, and hope I dont need it? I know this was a lot of reading, but I had to include the important information. Thanks in advance for the help, or for even reading this far. Leave a link, and I'll gladly get back to yours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just keep an eye on the FA and maybe pick up some depth there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
unclemercy 53 Posted September 2, 2006 did you slip those guys roofies and make trades while they slept? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Me_2006 14 Posted September 2, 2006 Nah. One guy originally wanted Moss for CJ straight up. Which was his mistake for basically letting me know he wanted to get rid of Moss. I wasnt gonna let CJ go for anything basically so I worked him down to Williams and through in Barlow knowing I had the Gore trade going anyway. As for the other guy, I basically wrote him an email telling him to name his price for Alexander and since he's very weak at WR and I'm guessing is a Panthers fan (team name = Carolina Crushers) he offered up Plax, Foster, and Branch (who i dont even think will play) for Alexander and Smith (who I think is still the top option in Denver). I wrote a reply email acting like it was a tough move for me to make and such but pulled the trigger immediately. I had some questions about doing it afterwards though, which leads to the explanation of why I'm on here asking for input about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harrinjj22 0 Posted September 2, 2006 I really like those trades. Just keep a look on the waiver wire for adding depth. Nice job on the trades. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
