Reading this thread and having just pulled a trade it is only appropriate to post. I just traded Wes Welker for Chris Johnson.
Care to elaborate on the rationale or was this just a bet that one's going up and the other going down?
I drafted Foster #1 pick and have Vick as my Keeper. My WR's are Vjax, Welker, Boldin and Maclin. My scrub RB's are Felix Jones and SJax. I felt the only way to save my season was to pull the trigger on this offer. Being down 0-3 my logic is that it can't get much worse and my hope is that Vick will come around, Arian will play return to full health Stud RB and CJ only has to do better with the possibility to becoming a stud RB. After looking at CJ's schedule it looks very favorable and with Britt out i think they will rely on the run more, hopefully big #'s with CJ. My only risk is that my team stink this year but atleast I can keep CJ for next season. While welker is a monster now and could put up maybe half the numbers he's been putting up, which is very good, the risk of another concussion is still at play. I don't think it will happen but it could. If i began the season and thought i could trade welker straight up for CJ i think everyone in their right mind would take that offer. Weighing my current record of 0-3 and risk factors I felt this trade "change" is what my team needed.
