Killer B's 0 Posted October 4, 2006 I'm glad I found this board! OK, I hate to ask so much from my very first post, but I need to make a decision quickly. I will return the favor offering my opinion where needed, for what that's worth. Background: I have been blessed with some depth and am enjoying a 4-0 season. I have been offered two huge studs for some of my guys. My RB/WR roster: S. Jackson C. Taylor W. Parker W. McGahee R. Dayne Roy Williams R. Wayne A. Johnson M. Colston M. Muhammad The first trade, I have been offered: L. Tomlinson for R. Wayne, R. Williams, McGahee The second trade, I have been offered: Shaun Alexander (worried about the foot) for R. Wayne M. Colston McGahee One snag is that we get 1 point for every 10 yds receiving, and 1 point for every 20 yds rushing, so WR's do pretty good usually. Which trade should I make? Should I do either one considering I'm 4-0? The Jackson-LT, or Jackson-SA combo looks pretty damn good. Thanks for your help!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rebooters 1 Posted October 4, 2006 take tomlinson for sure. look for either grabbing WR's quickly off WW cuz you will need some help after this move...maybe you could make another trade soon involving a backup RB of yours(that is a starter in the nfl) to aquire a nice WR. mine = http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=240761 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Killer B's 0 Posted October 4, 2006 that's good advice about trading a guy like Parker for a top WR. I didn't think about that, thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dalie 2 Posted October 4, 2006 I would take Tomlinson for sure! He will also get you a fair amount of recieving yards too. SA is primarily just running the ball, howevere he will be fresh at the end of the year but his foot is too big of a ? to pass on LT. See mine? http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=240540 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ramblin'wreck 0 Posted October 4, 2006 I can see myself do either of the trades, but leaning toward the LT one. Be careful though, you will be extremely thin at your WR position after the trade. You may try to trade one of your better RB for a productive WR. Thanks for helping with mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T Man 0 Posted October 4, 2006 your team is silly good. I would stand pat with Stephen Jackson and Chester being horses. Your WR depth is what is setting you apart. R Wayne and R Williams is a huge hit to your lineup. Stay put. Thanks for answering mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FreddieMercury 0 Posted October 5, 2006 your team is silly good. I would stand pat with Stephen Jackson and Chester being horses. Your WR depth is what is setting you apart. R Wayne and R Williams is a huge hit to your lineup. Stay put. Thanks for answering mine. I agree with this -- don't take either trade. You've got great WR's, and the gain you would get at RB is less than the hit you would take at WR with either deal. Thanks for answering mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A Dido Brother 0 Posted October 5, 2006 You don't really need the upgrade at RB since your league is skewed towards WR's and you've got some pretty awesome receivers. In fact, I think if I were you I might flip one of your backup RB's into a little more depth at WR, especially if you start more WR's than RB's in your league. Don't take either one. Help me out here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dtskds 0 Posted October 5, 2006 I would take Tomlinson you will get good points from both his running and recieving. The rest of your team looks pretty solid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Youngblood 0 Posted October 5, 2006 YES on the first trade with LT. NO on the second involving Colston (he's ripping up the league and will continue to do so!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NebraskaRRT 0 Posted October 5, 2006 I agree. Your WR's are what is propelling your squad I dont mind you moving McGahee due to yoru depth there. I am ok you moving Wayne or Roy...but not both. I could see McGahee, Wayne or Roy and Mush for LT. If you do send Roy and Wayne. I woudl try to get a wr from him also IF neither of those work, I would stand pat. esp how scoring is for receiving.

Ryedog 0 Posted October 5, 2006 I would do the Tomlinson trade which will still leave you with 2 very solid WR in A.Johnson and Colston. I guess it depends though on what WR is available on waivers. If you could pick up a #2 guy then make the trade. Tomlinson will get his catches also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abstrakt 0 Posted October 5, 2006 You're 4-0...I would not change a thing. But, if you are adamant about one of the trades - LT2 is the obvious choice. Although, I feel you would be giving up too much for him and be very thin at WR. I would sit tight w/your team...it's stacked Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carbomb2 0 Posted October 5, 2006 If I were to do a trade at all, I would lean towards the LT one, and then pull a WR or two off the wire. Maybe Furrey or Jennings if they're available. Thanks for responding to mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WXguy35 0 Posted October 5, 2006 Neither trade is worth your while...While you'd be picking up a number 1,2,3 FF draft pick...you'd be giving up guys who are all in the top 20 of the league... Both big name options, but combined production will not touch the 3 guys you'd be giving up in either trade... Thanks for you help with mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
resser2 0 Posted October 5, 2006 Is this a keeper league or a re-draft? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rkc84 0 Posted October 5, 2006 Definitely stay put. You said you're 4-0 so there is no reason to change anything. You would be trading 2 starting WR's and a stud RB in McGahee... Definitely don't do the trade. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
