Title: Trade offered to me
Post by lumber2121 on Sep 13^th, 2006, 8:11am

Hello All

This is my first post this year. I have a 19 days old son so my focus has not been on fantasy football as much as in the past.

I just got a trade offer. The other owner offered Keyshawn Johnson and Brian Westbrook to me in exchange for Warrick Dunn and Donald Driver.

My initial thought is that this is not a good trade for me. Westbrook is a very talented back, but it seems that he has a tendancy to get injured. Also, Dunn is on about the same level especially now that Duckett is no longer with the Falcons.

Keyshawn is a tool and very overrated.

My only thought is to counter with Dunn and Driver for Westbrook and Burress.

Here are our rosters.

My Team
Player
Plummer, Jake QB DEN
Dunn, Warrick RB ATL
Jackson, Steven RB STL
Driver, Donald WR GB
Glenn, Terry WR DAL
Gates, Antonio TE SD
Vinatieri, Adam K IND
Redskins, DST DST WAS
McNair, Steve QB BAL
Lewis, Jamal RB BAL
Morency, Vernand RB HOU
Coles, Laveranues WR NYJ
Winslow, Kellen TE CLE
Jaguars, DST DST JAC

His Team
Player
McNabb, Donovan QB PHI
Alexander, Shaun RB SEA
Westbrook, Brian RB PHI
Burress, Plaxico WR NYG
Owens, Terrell WR DAL
Smith, L.J. TE PHI
Feely, Jay K NYG
Ravens, DST DST BAL
Johnson, Brad QB MIN
Benson, Cedric RB CHI
McAllister, Deuce RB NO
Johnson, Keyshawn WR CAR
Muhammad, Muhsin WR CHI
Franks, Bubba TE GB

My league's general rules are in the signature below.

Please let me know what you think.

1st off....congrats Dude! [smiley=clap.gif] [smiley=mickey.gif]

Without rec pts, I don't really like this trade.

Keyshawn and Driver are a wash, but I'd give the edge to Keyshawn. Burress is obviously a big step up from both those guys.

Dunn is going to get you a lot of yards, and has less injury history than Westy. Westy will get a lot more receptions, but if that doesn't count...

If you can get Westy & Burress, do it NOW! But I don't think I'd do it for Me-shawn.

Good Luck on being a new Dad!

Thanks for the congratulations and the advice, Capt. Purple.

I am going to pass on the trade and not bother with a counter offer. I feel pretty good about my roster right now. I could use some more firepower at wide receiver and quarterback. However, I think my average players at those spots are well supported by my strength at running back.

Congrats on the new arrival!

I would make the counter offer that you came up with and see what he says. I don't like his original deal to you.
