Dude, that should already be done. It is just (the new) reality, folks,  that Culpepper is just going to be, at least, "different" this year and in a position where he is going to "have to" redine himself as a player without Randy Moss to heave it to. How well he can do that, so far it hasn't been good, will determine what kind of (fantasy) player he is going to be from here on out? Either that, or you have to wait for the Vikings to acquire a "new" Randy Moss-caliber receiver... UNlikely to happen again during the Culpepper era. ... A good analogy here might be McNabb before he had T.O., EXCEPT Daunte got Moss A LOT earlier in his career than McNabb did T.O., so he was "spoiled" (the question is... in "both" senses of the word???), which could very well spell trouble.
Side note, remember too that Martin is notorious for getting off to a slow start. He'll be just fine for the year and rack up at least 1,150 yards (probably 1,200+) and 7 touchdowns (probably 10) when it all comes out in the wash.
Now, GO CUT THAT DEAL, Kr77!!!

Sounds like the other guy has given up on CMart. His real goal is Green for Culpepper. Martin is just a sweetener, and your opponent probably feels that he has safer options at RB. I haven't given up completely on Culpepper - it's only Game Three.
You have QBs who will probably be spikey, and Green is steady and behind a great line. The only problem for you after this trade would come against teams where the Chiefs' RBBC gets the points for rushing due to the match-up. If you are lucky, that will come on a week where Hass or McNair has a good match-up. You also need to consider the fact that after the scare over Martin the Jets could go to an RBBC as well, to preserve Martin.
So, the only thing to think about is if you think Green will do better for you than Culpepper. First half of the season, probably, but MIN could gell. Later is impossible to predict at this point. In a head-to-head league, Green is probably a much safer bet at this point.
