Trade help, DeSean Jackson for Shonn Greene

[k2208 0]

I have a Grant owner in my league offer me Desean Jackson for Shonn Greene. That would leave me starting Moreno & Pierre Thomas at RB, and Jackson, Steve Smith(Car), and Miles Austin for my WR/Flex. Any thoughts?

That's a tough one. Personally, I like DJ. I think the dude has serious point potential (Kolb will come around eventually and if Vick becomes the starter as he should be, there's no doubt he will be a great Wideout). After seeing how much LT got in Greenes mix, I'm not so sure how well he will do this year. But it really depends on your roster depth.

After Moreno, Pierre, and Shonn Greene I have Fred Jackson, Bernard Scott and Karreem Huggins.(I think Scott and Huggins will eventually be starters due to injury) At receiver I have Mike Sims-Walker, Miles Austin, Meachum, Steve Smith(Car), and Vincent Jackson.

 

I just think Jackson will put up more points weekly than Greene, and I may be able to deal one of my other WR's for another RB.

I agree. You have the depth at WR to work with.

So......Go for it? I am leaning heavily towards yes.

[swashbuckler 0]

Yea, I would. I think the trade is in your favor.

I say without a doubt.

 

LT really worries me with Greene. I actually prefer PT over him right now (and probably all season long). Scott and Huggins are fine depth, you might not even have to wait for an injury, maybe.

 

I have DJax, I like him, I'll be patient with him and am still expecting big things. With Austin WR1 and Smith WR2, you'll have another WR2 for a flex. With MSW as some depth (I'd see if Royal or Clayton are on waivers, you could probably count on them more than Meachem in PPR), I think you'll be fine.

 

Do it.

I wouldn't accept that trade. Jackson is a great WR, but you already have pretty good Wide Receivers. Besides, Moreno's carries are going to decrease with the Pats trading Maroney to Denver, so you will probably need Greene.

By the way, thank you for answering mine.

See, I think Moreno can hold off Maroney or at least be less affected than Greene and LT.

 

That said, and I wasn't thinking about this, but I hate WR for RB trades. RBs are harder to find. Can't believe that didn't pop into my head earlier, but perhaps there's a package deal there for you that keeps you in RB depth. Unless you're really confident you can turn your WR depth into an RB.

philly is not going to put up the same numbers this year without mcnabb and their oline is bad Vick and Kolb were running for their life Sun although Greene didn't look good it was against the Ravens D their line is pretty much the same one that led the league in rushing but Green only had 100 totes last year so he is unproven for the long haul to me you have the Wr to win but without Greene your one injury to either Moreno (who got hurt last year) or Thomas from having to start a back up in Scott Huggins and Jackson

Heh, this is why I love this discussion forum. I think I've been convinced. You don't *need* DJax, and there is no such thing as too much good RB depth, and Greene, for all you may not like him, is still solid RB depth.

Anyone else have an opinion on this? Thanks in advance!

I would stay put. Losing Greene leaves you pretty thin at RB. You don't "need" a WR. If you make this trade, you'll eventually find yourself "needing" a RB. IMO, although you're WRs are solid, you don't have enough depth at WR to hold onto V Jackson. I would look to the waiver wire and replace V Jackson with a Naanee or Clayton type FA. I know I kind of contradicted myself here. Dumping V Jackson for someone who is playing is better than trading a good Back like Greene for D Jackson. Make sense? Good luck and thanks for mine.

I think I would keep Greene. Wide receivers are kind of week to week. Greene, despite LTs good game Monday is going to get carries every game. LT will likely wear down as the year goes on. Also, the Jets are still keeping the training wheels on Sanchez so he should get plenty of work.

I'd be very leary to drop Greene at this point. I wouldnt take Monday nite as precursor to the rest of his season. Others are trying to jump on him thinking low sale. It would ruin your depth at RB in case of injuries.

one good pop & d.j. is out for the season ...,followed him since his long beach poly days

he's fast ,but lets face it he's a shrimp

i think wr's are a dime a dozen ...,productive rb's are hard to find

greene on the other hand is a beast that use to run over players in Iowa ..,i see L.T.

getting a lil boo boo & nursing his injury all season while greene runs wild

keep greene

 

see mine please

I would not do that trade either. Maroney clouds things in Denver and honestly, I am not sold on Desean this year. It is risk/reward...but a little too much of the former for me.
