Title: trade advice
Post by kec6906 on Nov 5^th, 2004, 1:56pm

scoring -- longer td's=more pts, RB/WR's 25 yds=1 pt, QB 50 yds= 1 pt.
12 team redraft. my lineup (5-2-1)

QB: Harrington, Testaverde

RB: C Mart, Jordan, D Davis, Wells, Wheatley, Morris,
Taylor [start 2]

WR: R Moss, Holt, Lelie, Gonzo [start 3]

K: Wilkins, J Brown

DEF: BUF, BAL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

one guy has LT2 & Moore and thats it for RB's. i was thinking of offering him Davis, Wheatley, Morris & Lelie for LT2 & Burleson (since Moss is still out - how long???)

that would give me C Mart & LT2 as my starting RB's.
i dont know if he'll go for it - he might counter that he wants Holt instead of Lelie (he's asked for him before)

what would you do? would you give up Holt instead of Lelie to get LT2? none of those RB's have done anything so i'm not losing out there.
Holts only had 1 big game for me this season (3, 16, 14,1, 2, 31, 0, bye) and LT2 has scored every week(9, 11, 2, 12, 10, 7, 8, 7) even with groin injury but should get better after his bye week. i'm not really sure who has a better schedule the rest of the way.
or would you just stay with my lineup the way it is? do you think Davis can pick it up now thats he's healthy? Also WW is pretty much picked clean.

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

I'd definitely do the first trade you mentioned. (Giving up DD, Tyrone, Sammy for LT2, Burleson.)

I'd really have to think about giving up Holt. Does he have a better WR to get instead of Burleson? Maybe someone just a tier above (Boldin, Driver, Wayne, Chambers, McCareins, Porter, McCardell, Lloyd, Clayton, Coles) him? Someone who is more than a #3 on their own NFL team? If you can get better than Burleson, I'd go ahead and do it.

I'd also be content to sit tight. I think Wheatley will come on some now that he is getting healthy. DD has a decent schedule left, and you have Wells if he gets hurt again. (I'm assuming that is Chester, not Fred, Taylor?)

other than Burleson, he has Hakim (DET), GAFFNEY(HOU), Gates (SD), mcdonald (STL), Parker (SD). i figured i'd go for Burleson cause Moss is still out, robinson hobbled and i play the 7-1 team this week (he has C Pep). hoping to kinda counter C Pep if i can. i really dont think he'll give Gates (his highest scorer right now)

if the trade goes(with Lelie), i was gonna pick up Witten (DAL) of WW - he's the only viable option still avail.
then for this week i could play Gonzo, Holt & Burleson and have Witten as a backup.
then i would have Holt, Gonzo, Burleson, Witten and R Moss (when healthy - obviously my starting 3 would be Moss, Gonzo & Holt) and my starting RB's would be C Mart & LT2.

my only problem would come in week 10 for LT2's bye.
i dont have another starting RB to play other than C Mart.
the only 2 avail on WW with poss of scoring would be Cloud (NYG) or A Train (CHI - if T Jones is still hurt) otherwise i would only have Chester Taylor, Jordan & Wells on my bench. maybe C Mart & LJ can have another 115 yd + td night together?? haha. doubt it.

any other thoughts - let me know. thanks Philly.

I concur with Philly. First deal is a rip-off as I see it. If you can do it, DO IT! With Holt involved instead of Lelie, I am kind of iffy on it. I would hold off, at least until Moss gets back. Then, you can reasses, assuming it's by your trade deadline.
