Gepetto 1,368 Posted October 5, 2011 Try these maybe: Cedric Benson and Shaub for Cam and Daniel Thomas. Cedric Benson and Kolb for Cam. Julio Jones and Kolb for Cam. Worst case, Cedric Benson and Shaub for Cam (maybe you can get Greg Olsen too, if you can start more than one tight end that would be good). I'd pick up Denarius Moore and cut Chandler (or cut Knox is my second choice after Chandler). Thanks for help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fantasy Noob 10 Posted October 5, 2011 I like Julio Jones for Cam, he could use a bit of help at WR to solidify his #3 spot. He might want Wayne though which feels a bit expensive but depends on how much you want Newton. I am not crazy about giving up Benson, he puts up decent #2RB numbers and with Gore in your #1spot your probably going to need a decent backup at some point.

So you like Wayne more than Julio going forward? That was another question I had. Since it's a keeper, and I've been decimated by injuries and am 1-3, I was worried about giving up Julio. But then again, Newton is another keeper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pavlov 0 Posted October 5, 2011 Thanks for seeing mine. The first thing you need to do is establish your keepers and presumably Newton and Jones would be 2 of the 3. If I'm this guy, I'm not really interested in any trade that doesn't improve my WR position, which is clearly my weak point. Unfortunately, this limits your options since you can't depend on Jones this year as a #1 WR (so you need Wayne) and your #2 WR is slated to be your keeper. I'm working on the assumption that any trade of Wayne, Felix, or Gore is essentially you throwing in the towel for the season. Option 1: Reevaluate your long term strategy. This means using Jones in the trade and rethinking your keeper strategy. I don't like Atlanta long term, to be honest. I thought they mortgaged too much to get Jones and for the short-term, he's still the #2 WR on a team with a pro-bowl WR in the #1 slot. Jones is a young talent, so I can see why there's keeper potential, but I would absolutely take Newton over Jones in a keeper league. Option 2: Keep Jones. I would actually wait to see how week 5 plays out before I went with this since the Newton owner has a lot of borderline players. -Blount could very well have a bad game vs. SF, which makes the Benson offer more attractive. -AJ Green might be quiet this week (Jax is better at pass d than most people think). If that happens, Decker's stock rises slightly. You need to figure out which player(s) the owner is most pissed off at after week 5 and pursue those spots. He's assuredly already pissed at Tampa Mike. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcmmidwest 149 Posted October 5, 2011 i'd drop knox or mc cluster for moore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
footballdonk 0 Posted October 5, 2011 I think you should ask him what he wants for cam. you may get a good deal if he has brees. or counter offer for something reasonable if its not. pick up moore and drop knox or redman if you dont need to play him this week.

Fantasy Noob 10 Posted October 5, 2011 Sorry did not realize it is a keeper league, how many are you allowed? If its 3 or less, then he probably wants to move one of his QB's and improve his chances of winning this year. Since it is a keeper league he probably wants more for Newton than in normal leagues and it will probably take Wayne. Also without Peyton, Wayne is not quite as valuable as normal but he still has some name recognition that might close the deal for you too. The reason I value Wayne over Jones is that, I generally prefer a teams #1WR to a #2WR unless he is really in a special situation like Dez Bryant (who is arguably the actual #1WR) in Dallas. I also am not that big a fan of Matt Ryan. Your team is actually pretty thin for keepers so I would pay more for Newton, since you could then keep Newton, Graham, and your best RB going into next year.

PrinceEatMeat 0 Posted October 5, 2011 Yeah, I like the idea of keeping Newton and Graham. Which is why I'm considering a trade for Newton. I'm 1-3 right now, and I still wanna win. I really don't think I lose much by trading Wayne or Jones though. I guess if I deal Wayne then I still have Jones to possibly keep. Otherwise yeah, I'd probably keep F. Jones or Gore if he rebounds as my third guy. Also, I should mention that Newton went undrafted, so I'd give up a 16th rounder for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swirvenirvin 25 Posted October 6, 2011 Start off by asking what he wants for Cam he may not want that much. But I think a fair trade would be Schaub, Redman, Jones for Cam and some other guys on his team. sell him on the fact that he only has 2 RB's that are healthy and Redman may start this week.

Any ideas on a trade offer I could make for him. Here's my roster and the team's roster who has Newton. Any help is appreciated. WHIR. Thanks. My Roster QB Schaub QB Kolb RB Gore RB F. Jones RB Benson RB Ridley RB Redman WR Wayne WR Decker WR Julio Jones WR T. Smith WR Knox WR McCluster TE Graham TE Chandler D/ST Packers His Roster QB Brees QB Newton RB Foster RB Blount RB D. Thomas RB Tate WR Fitzgerald WR M. Williams TB WR A.J. Green WR L. Moore WR Branch TE Witten TE Olsen D/ST Ravens D/ST Giants K Hanson He has a pretty good team and i really don't see him needing too much help so lets say i was him,the only person on your team that i would want as the #1 part of the trade would be J.Graham. So i'm thinking something like J.Graham and K.Kolb for Cam and Olsen but of course try to get Witten instead of Olsen. You have to remember that you almost always have to give up someone you like to get someone you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In one of my leagues, newton just went for jennings(which is absurd and I tried to veto it to no avail), so Newton owners are selling high right now. You can try to sell high on ridley, though it may take one more game for him to get some value. ridley/julio/schaub for newton/moore sounds reasonable.
