Kellen Winslow?

Recommended Posts

League scoring: 1pt per 10yds receiving or rushing 6 for TD's

 

I have terrible TE's and an underperforming QB in McNabb but my RB depth is ok and my WR's have carried me to 2-0 so far and I don't want to make a mistake just because I am horny for Winslow.

 

RBs: Maroney/Lamont Jordan/D.Foster/Chester

 

I am being offered

 

Ronnie Brown / Winslow

 

FOR

 

Jordan / Des Clarke

 

Really undecided here...I don't think I am getting good value but I could end up with

 

McNabb (Cutler)

Maroney

Brown

Chad Johnson

Andre Johnson

Winslow

Elam

Bears D

 

as my starting lineup...pretty good but good enough to give away Lamont?

I think I would do it, mainly because Jordan is expected to lose carries to Rhodes once he returns from his suspension. But there's no history there with Kiffin to know exactly what they'll do. One also has to think Cam Cameron eventually smartens up and gets Brown the darn ball. I have Winslow and he's been a beast. He may even turn out to be among the top 3 TEs with Anderson playing like he did last week, if not HIGHER. Please see mine. http://www.fftodayforums.com/forum/index.p...howtopic=288618

Yes, I would do it.

 

Jordan is at a high point and you get Winslow who has finally been good. You get 2 players, he gets one player and Clark.

I'm on the opposite end, I think - RB is always more valuable that TE, and more consistent. If Jordan keeps performing like he is now, why would Oakland bench him for Rhodes? It wouldn't make sense. Maroney, Taylor, Foster, and Brown don't exactly equal consistent production, so I'd probably hang on to Jordan for now. Winslow is actually a sell-high guy right now - he's great, but in that offense he can't be expected to produce at consistent levels for the entire season.

 

But hey, can you really fight the man-love?

Not sure I agree with the others. People THOUGHT Rhodes would steal carries from Jordan because Jordan was so bad in 2006. But at this moment he is the #2 RB in terms of total yards (Henry is #1). If he can start to get some red zone carries and punch one in, you're talking about the #1 overall RB. If Jordan can keep this going, Kiffin's offense stays at all productive, and we see the player that ended up in the Top 10 of fantasy backs in 2005, there's no reason to give him up for Ronnie Brown's sorry a$$. I especially wouldn't do it with the purpose of upgrading the TE position (unless that TE was named Antonio Gates).

 

Are there any TE's on waivers at all?

Is it a PPR League? I would probably make the trade. I agree with the poster before me. I apparently am not really good at giving advice, so I will keep it short and sweet, make the trade. THanks for mine. And i deleted that old post, it was just ridiculous, ha.

I tend to agree with this guys' thinking, though I wouldn't say Winslow is a sell-high guy, he should contribute all year long. I would try to hang on to Jordan though, I think he will be a good RB#2 for the remainder of the year. They're not going to stop running Lamont just because Rhodes is back. Lamont is carrying the team.

One of the issues is that I targeted Jordan in the 6th - good thing he was still around because he was the 2nd RB I selected - and am feeling pretty good that my feelings were right about him and the Raiders bouncing back so I am loathe to deal him but I also firmly believe that Winslow will be a top TE - fighting Gates all year long.

 

My RB depth isn't great but is there any chance that Brown will have a decent year?

Another guy on my do not draft list, so take my opinion with a grain of salt. I still just don't think so. Miami is a bad offensive team as long as Trent Green aka The Scarecrow (no brain) is under center. Why would teams give Brown any chance to make positive yardage when they can just dare Green to beat them with the scrambled eggs in his head? The guy is averaging 6.5 yards per attempt! Add to that the fact that Green is for some reason attempting 40 passes a game and there is little hope for Brown.

I would do it with your depth at RB. Winslow looks poised for a huge year.

 

Thanks for answering mine.

I would not do it.

 

Lamant will continue to produce. Rhodes will play fargas role in the offense.

R.Brown- I dont like how the dolphins are using their rbs and if he fails to produce then theres a rookie by the name of booker who could get some pt.

 

Winslow will continue to produce but not at the expense of LJ.

 

thanks for answering mine

i dont think i would do that you would be upgrading your TE but i think jordan will continue to roll this year even when rhodes(career backup) comes back, while r.brown is in danger of losing his job. i dont think winslow can put up gates-like #s in that offense regardless of what they did last week.stick with what you got.

I'd take it. RB's production will surely increase. LJ's will surely decrease. Winslow's will be consistently solid.

 

Good luck and thanks for mine.

I frankly don't think you're set enough at RB to deal Jordan.. everything i'm reading is saying that he's playing healthy and what he's doing is no fluke. You may wind up packaging him with another player to upgrade at RB.

 

I like Winslow as a real breakout candidate.. but trading your best current RB for what your getting is a weak deal IMO.
