Anyone else targeting LJ this week? (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter tomdeck
- Start date
I did the same trade two weeks ago. LJ plays the Lions in week 16....Portis plays the Vikings.Clear enough to me.

Is this fishing?Me too. The jury is definitely out.Course that's nothing like thetrade ideas like FWP or MB3 for LJ. wtf - some of these trade ideas/offers are unreal. LJ has totally and unbelievably sucked all but one game and has yet to score a single TD. That isn't all a "tough schedule." He is sucking, his team is sucking.........I'd trade him for a pretzel but nobody's biting. lol @ "top 5 back from here on out." He/his team is so pathetic I wouldn't be surprised in the least if he has yet another pathetic game.
How's the TD comparison looking?

Nice moves. You upgraded at two positions there.

I tried Portis for Johnson, but the guy wouldn't consider. Even threw in Betts and he wasn't havin' it.

A few weeks ago I traded Lamont Jordan, Eli, and Burress for LJ, Hasselbeck, and Javon Walker. The only trade I regret at this point is the Burress for Walker. I really think LJ is going to break out but luckly I have Addai and B. Jacobs just in case he doesn't. Since Addai is on a bye this week it's either LJ or Sammy Morris........I'm going with LJ.

Playoffs in all my leagues start in week 14... I will worry about week 16 when/if I get there.Wk 14 Portis is at home vs. Chicago, a much juicier matchup then most anticipated.Wk 15 Sunday night game of the week vs. the giants... Great matchup.Wk 16 Vikings... tough matchupWk 14 LJ plays in Denver, not a great matchupWk 15 At home vs. Tenn, one of the better d-lines in the league.Wk 16 Great matchup but will the Chiefs have anything to play for, hard to see them running LJ into the ground???Sorry I still like Portis...
Denver is the worst team in the league against the run. And yes KC will run LJ into the ground.Don't get me wrong, I hope I made the right trade. But Portis got dinged up last week. Both his hand and his knee. I'm not sure he's going to make it through the season and if he does, he'll be playing a Chicago team possibly fighting for the playoffs, a Giants team fighting for the playoffs and possibly the best team against the run the last 2 years.
I offered Clinton Portis and Matt Schaub for LJ and Vince Young (hoping just to get LJ, honestly).
The owner sent me back:
LJ and Steve Smith
for
Matt Schaub and Plaxico Burress
Needless to say, I accepted. Schaub was a waiver wire pickup/backup for me.
So I basically got Smith and LJ for Plax.

Aren't TD's the hardest part to predict for any player? I mean FWP has 1 TD and has played a cake schedule so far, but there is only marginal worry for him, if any. Fact is LJ is "the back" on a run first team. He's been uber productive behind a solid line. Now he's behind a marginal line, but the worst part of is schedule is over, the rust should be completely off from the hold out and Bowe is turning into a viable WR option. Plus he hasn't been run into the ground after logging crazy carries last year. Looks like a nice buy low opp to me.Me too. The jury is definitely out.Course that's nothing like theHow's the TD comparison looking?

12 team 0.5 PPR league, start 1 qB/2 RB/3 WR/1 TE/no flex/K/Def
I traded away Fitz for LJ, straight up. That left me thin at WR, so then I traded Portis and Curry away for Roy Williams and Earnest Graham. The second part might not interest you, but it was an important concern for me roster-wise.
Before, I was starting Bush/Portis/Steve Smith/Fitz/Colston
Now, after all bye weeks are taken care of, max lineup will be....
Bush/LJ/Steve Smith/Roy/Colston
Sure, it's a risk, but I didn't have Betts, and I think overall my lineup is better.

Offer rejected. No other comment or feedback so no idea if it was seriously considered.

I've been targeting LJ, but rejected these yesterday. If I had a solid/dependabe RB2 (would be Ahman after trade), I'd be more inclined. LJ could boom or (continue to) bust.
Give - Portis, TO
Get - LJ, Bowe
Give - Portis, Plax
Get - LJ, Marvin
14 team league, starting 3 WRs - so there's nothing on the WW. I might regret passing on the 2nd deal if LJ gets going and Harrison returns to form, but I don't feel like the gamble on both is worth it - giving up 2 producing players for the chance.

I wouldn't take the 1st, but Id have taken the 2nd in a heartbeat.

I just sent fast willie parker and crayton and got LB and c johnson.
parker seems to be losing the goal line carries and LJ has a good schedule - and I think the upside of c. Johnson is higher than Crayton.

I can't get anything for LJ. I'm keeping him

I just traded Ronnie Brown and Steve Smith for LJ and Roy Williams.
If nothing else, at least I get two guys with stable QB's and bail on two guys with big questions at QB. Stability is huge and, at 5-0, LJ's sked looks better come playoff time.

I am thinking about trading LJ. I am sitting at 2-3 in BML. My starting roster is as follows:
QB: Eli
WR: TO, Fitz
RB: A. Peterson (min), LJ
RB/WR: D. Mason
TE: Daniels
K: Folk
D: Pitt
10 pts ru/rec, with ppc
I am being offered:
Portis/T. Holt
for
LJ/Berrian
I love this trade, but portis and holt are dinged up right now. I have a hard time parting with LJ, but i have had him for the last 2 years and his current situation is unfamiliar to any perrenial LJ owner. I don't think anyone can convince me one way or the other, can any of you?

I'm glad you find this funny... Chicago's def is depleted, even Green Bay was having success on the ground against them, injuries are taking a huge toll... and the players they have lost are not coming back...
Denver has talent on defense and although they have been poor lately, things change fast in the NFL, dont expect them to be abysmal all year... Also, thin air and very weak KC line won't help...
Tennessee has been absolutely stuffing the run and is looking like a top ten defense this year, what's funny?
They just gave LJ big money, if the Chiefs are out of it by week 16 it is foreseeable that they may take it easy on him, but I dont see many people who are counting on LJ getting to the Championship game anyway...
Check back after Portis finishes ahead him for the season for me, ok?

I think some of you folksies are giving up way to much for LJ.

I think this is correct ... it seems LJ owners are optimistic and willing to wait on the Cincy game to boost LJ's value. Deals that may have worked last week are now "borderline" as the LJ owners are comfortable to wait it out for one more game.If LJ has a great game, I'd imagine the price shoots up dramatically. Another poor game, and the price will drop a little more ... but then, who's going to be buying if he can't get it going against Cincy's depleted defense? I guess there will always be a price ... it's a fluid market though ...Koya said:

I think you're letting everyone down by not updating your sig to reflect LJ on your team. People's fantasy teams in their sigs are the backbone of the Shark Pool. And while I know it's impossible to resist touting to the world that you play in a $1200 league, I must say you are remiss by not including the full scoring system for your league.I just got LJ today, but i may have paid high for him. I gave up Marvin Harrison and Sammy Morris. I got Harrison over the course of several trades which originated as my 5th round pick and sammy was a waiver pick.My team is in my sig, just add LJ, i think i'm set for a championshipThis is where I go back and forth. On one hand, I'd trade for LJ because of the soft schedule on paper. On the other hand, I don't have faith in KCs line or QB play right now to ensure that the ground game won't be abandoned.
