This trade is nowhere near as lopsided as many I've seen. It's entirely possible that team B wins this trade, even without injuries. He's not getting scrubs for LT and (the overperforming) Braylon Edwards.

rafiki, would you like to make some sort of bet on braylon vs driver production?

[/ QUOTE ]

What would be the point ? You see that Edwards has more points right now. In my ppr league he's got 124 vs 89. But what you're maybe not taking into account is that Driver had his bye, and edwards has his this week. In my pool the 35 point gap is something like 2TD + 12 catches + 120 yards. Driver probably plays a champ bailey-less team this week, I think 1 TD, 8 balls, 90, is not out of the question. So these 2 guys after bye's are gonna be within 6-10 points of each other. Only good secondary I see in Driver's whole season is Chicago (and they aren't that great). Edwards has to play Baltimore TWICE, Pits, Seattle (and then has his share of eas ones).

So do I want to bet on a coin toss ? I don't tend to be that foolish. Do I think Driver and Edwards will be on par all year. Absolutely. When you have Favre throwing to you you're going to catch 80-100 balls if you're healthy.

Values going forward from one site:

Eli Manning -- 393
Willie Parker -- 1918
Donald Driver -- 719
Total -- 3030

LaDainian Tomlinson -- 2500
Braylon Edwards -- 964
Total -- 3464

This is not at all unreasonable.

also, edwards already play balt. he wasnt exactly shut down. 97 yards and a td.

braylon is a monster. top 5 easily.

oh btw, parker doesnt get goal line carries anymore. no tds this year anyway.

oh also, eli always falls apart in the cold and wind later in the year.

this trade is just too much of a fleecing.

wtf, if anything these numbers show how lopsided it is. 2 players outscore 3 by like 15%.

Not easily, but possibly. Off the top of my head, here are 7 players that have an pretty good chance of outscoring Edwards down the stretch:
- Moss
- TO
- Chad Johnson
- Harrison
- Wayne
- Plaxico
- Smith

Add in either Welker or Stallworth, maybe a Detroit or Pittsburgh receiver and you start pushing closer to "potentially top 10" than "top 5 easily".

Yeah, you are right about Housh.

Harrison may not catch Edwards, but he could be better the rest of the season.

Not so sure about Smith. Did you see what he did in his last game? His remaining schedule vs. Braylon's may be the difference though.
