Title: trade ???
Post by kec6906 on Oct 15^th, 2004, 11:33am

i was offered Barlow & TO for Tomlinson & Joe Horn.

my other RB's are E James [smiley=thumbsup.gif] & C Brown [smiley=thumbsup.gif]. start 2.
if i didnt want to play Barlow for byes wks 6 & 9 - other avail RB's are - Suggs, Moore, K. Jones, Droughns)

and i would add TO to Javon Walker , Andre Johnson, Roy Williams (All are having great years so far) & Price [smiley=thumbsdown.gif] start 3. (TO & Williams done their bye weeks)

that would give me 2 of the top 6 RB's in league and 3 of the top 4 WR's in the league (with Williams not too far behind).

i'm thinking go for it cause i'd still have 2 great RB's and would have upgraded WR (i think its gonna be McNabb to TO all season). plus whats up with LT's groin injury - will it linger or get worse?

scoring = 1pt for every 10 yards, 6pts for tds

i know its early in the day but what do you guys & girls think???? thanks. KC [smiley=eagle.gif]

This is a tough one. Ultimately, I don't think I would do it. RBs are such a valuable commodity that it is dangerous to give up a stud (even though he hasn't played like one much this year).

I imagine you are already doing well in your league and there's no reason you can't ride a WR corps that includes Walker, Horn, Johnson, and Williams right to a championship.

I know you can only start 2 RBs, but Edge and Brown both get a LOT of carries which increases their risk of injury. (I'd actually grab Lee Suggs off waivers immediately if you have a roster spot to spare. I'm guessing, by your roster, that this is a small league - 6-8 teams?)

yes, this is an 8 team league. i am 4-1 (one lineup mistake, i lose the one by a few points or i'd be 5-0) and i agree with u, i already turned down the offer. i'm thinking "if it aint broke - dont fix it". in the long run i think LT will be more valueable than TO (as long as he stays healthy) - although i do think TO is gonna have a great year.

so, my lineup looks like this:

QB - McNair, Bulger, Harrington

RB - James, LT, Brown

WR - Walker, Horn, A Johnson, Williams, Price

TE - Heap, McMichael

K - Carney

DEF - Atlanta

and i play the guy this week that wanted to trade me TO, so we'll see what happens.

he's got - Brady, Holmes, Barlow, Wayne, McCareins, Krob, TO, eric johnson, Elam & broncos D

thanks for the responses. KC [smiley=eagle.gif]

No need to trade LT. He is a super stud and RBs are much more consistent than WRs. I agree with others' responses. I would not do this trade. You seem pretty well set at WR as it is. Stick with what you have. Good luck keeping your momentum going. You seem to be in a good position in your league.
