Re: *Official Fantasy Football \"What Do You Think of This Trade\" Threa
Nothing ever materialized with the team I posted before, but I'd still like to upgrade/add depth to my #2 RB spot. Here's my team (12-team H2H league, standard CBS Sportsline scoring):
Philip Rivers
Drew Brees
Carson Palmer
Deuce McAllister
LaDainian Tomlinson
Cedric Benson
Travis Henry
Donald Driver
Marty Booker
Keenan McCardell
Marvin Harrison
Jason Witten
John Kasay
DST Seahawks
Now there are two teams that are pretty solid at the RB position that I'd like to target...
Team 1:
Mark Brunell
Tom Brady
Fred Taylor
LaBrandon Toefield
Samkon Gado
Dominic Rhodes
Willis McGahee
Julius Jones
Javon Walker
Lee Evans
Laveranues Coles
Randy McMichael
Shayne Graham
DST Broncos
All of my #2 RBs share the same by week (Week 7), and a bunch of his have the same bye week as well (Taylor and Rhodes most notably on Week 6), so that may be a good point to negotiate on. I wouldn't mind doing a straight up trade RB for RB, I just don't know who I should offer and go after. Would something McAllister for Rhodes straight up be smart?
However, if I had to guess, he would most likely want to go after one of my starting WRs, or possibly try to get Palmer from me cheap after his poor Week 1 fantasy performance (I am NOT interested in trading Palmer this week at all). If this were the case (i.e. I'd have to give up a WR), I'd have to get a WR in return with little to no dropoff for me to feel comfortable with the trade (and his WRs don't really excite me too much).
So essentially, I'd like to do a RB for RB straight up but am unsure about which players I should offer/target, but if anything will probably have to do a RB+QB/WR for a RB+WR, and am also unsure about which players would maximize my trade value in this type of deal.
Team 2:
Jake Plummer
Trent Green
Frank Gore
Cadillac Williams
Willie Parker
Chester Taylor
Andre Johnson
Donte' Stallworth
Mark Clayton
Ben Troupe
Todd Heap
Rian Lindell
DST Patriots
DST Dolphins
Obviously, with Trent Green injured and Jake Plummer's performance Week 1, he needs QB help. Neither Drew Brees nor Philip Rivers had great fantasy Week 1's, and he might just be able to pick up a QB on the waiver wire this week to keep him satisified for the time being, but if I package Brees or Rivers with the right player the offer might have some value to him.
Do you think he'd go for something like Travis Henry and Drew Brees for Frank Gore or Chester Taylor? Should I be offering/targeting other players instead? Or would I be better off dealing with Team 1?
Thanks.
