baronmd77 0 Posted September 23, 2006 I just received an interesting trade proposal from another owner in my 12 team league. Scoring is 50/50 with 1 pt/2 receptions. We start 3 combo WR/TEs. He requested Javon Walker and Jericho Cothery for Randy Moss and TJ Houshmanzadeh. Normally I wouldn't have to think about this, but with Housh's nagging heel injury and the Raider's scoring problems, I am not so sure. The upside is huge, but the downside is huge as well. What do you think? What would you think if I countered with D. Mason instead of Walker? __________________________________ QB - D. McNabb, R. Grossman RB - R. Johnson, B. Westbrook, L.

Melvinbet 5 Posted September 23, 2006 I wouldn't do it. Giving up to much "for sure" for some "maybe" and some "could be". Don't trade for names. See mine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But Walker has a better chance to be a decent player than Moss this year (unless Moss somehow gets shipped out of town before the trade deadline, which isn't likely). I'd keep your team.

Cadmandeux 0 Posted September 23, 2006 I wouldnt do it. You got better odds of winning the lottery than Moss acheiving greatness in OAK so that gives Walker the "+" column, TJ and Cothery are basically a wash. Just my opinion. click HERE to help me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mix 0 Posted September 23, 2006 I like Hush but Oakland might not score a TD all year. Oakland also has a bye this week so If you do the trade you will be without your starting WR two times. I'd go with Walker and Cot http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=236555 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bretthski 0 Posted September 23, 2006 You're right. Seems like a no-brainer, but I wouldn't take the offer. Moss/Oakland aren't going anywhere anytime soon. I see GB and Walker doing better this season than the way they've started and Cotchery is looking really good with more to come. Take another peek at mine: No PPR, 2 RB, 2WR + 1 flex starting. Thanks! http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=236650 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bravo 0 Posted September 23, 2006 Don't do it. As a Randy Moss owner, I wouldn't want any part of him at this point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beef and sausage combo 0 Posted September 23, 2006 wow, this is a real risky one. i have a feeling like cotchery might fade as the season goes on, so you'd want to strike while the iron is hot in dealing him. the oakland offense is horrible, so that's scary too. i think you might be okay if you pull the trigger on this one. you might want to try to deal cotchery for someone else altogether though... thanks for your help w/ mine. good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Cotch/Housh part is a wash, and while it's true Moss is on a crappy team, I don't see Walker exactly lighting it up. One goog game from Moss and his value skyrockets. I'd take the chance.

LBX 0 Posted September 23, 2006 Very tough, i guess i wouldnt do it, but i love housh and think he's going to go off this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike06 0 Posted September 23, 2006 keep your team as it is, you dont want to deal with anyone on that raiders offense and an injured player Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
washittwice 0 Posted September 23, 2006 Housh and Cotchery will put up similar numbers so put that off to the side. So it comes down to Walker and Moss. Moss has QB problems, and offense problems, but their next two games don't look too bad (Browns, niners). Walker seems to be producing OK in Denver, even with Plummer struggling. Id say don't do it.

AmbassadorOfKwan 0 Posted September 23, 2006 I agree that he is trying to dump Randy, so I wouldnt do it. Im in the same boat...stuck with Randy and not a chance in hell of getting rid of him right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
himmystyles 30 Posted September 24, 2006 you will be taking a gamble if u do it ,but the payoff could be huge... Walter will air it out early and often bc the Raiders are gonna be playing from behind a lot... and Housh is always solid. Thanks for answering mine..

bobpate17 0 Posted September 24, 2006 I wouldn't do this trade. you would have to mess with your line up to make this trade. you will have problem starting 2nd WR if Moss doesn't come up. I am trying to get moss for mould. he is really cheap right now. offer some other trade like cotch and Glenn for Huz and Moss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2GQ 0 Posted September 24, 2006 If this is offered now, I would refuse, but keep an eye on how Housh adjusts now that he will play. The opportunity to have Housh as your #3 WR is a good one if he stays healthy. In terms of Moss, I would not want him. Yes, he is the #1 WR in Oakland, but with their QB issues and the switch back to Brooks in a few weeks, he may never quite produce. History shows that Randy needs many touches and rapport with his QB and with Walter now playing and Brooks coming back from injury in 2-4 weeks, he may not develop any sort of chemistry until late in the season.

gold_finger 0 Posted September 24, 2006 Because of TJ's injury and Moss's QB sitution, I wouldn't do it either but I believe Cotchery will fade as the season goes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
