I wasn't looking to trade McNabb but was made an offer tonight I couldn't refuse:
McNabb
Droughns
Buckhalter (owner has Westbrook)
A. Bryant (owner has A. Smith)
for
Bledsoe/Romo (already had his bye week)
T. Barber (already had his bye week)
Harrison
Scoring: 6 pts all TD's, 1 pt/10 yds rushing/receiving, 1 ppr, 1 pt/25 yds passing
Lineups: 2 QB's, 2 RB's, 3 WR's, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DST, 2 Flex (RB, WR or TE)
Why I made the trade:
1) I LOVE McNabb, but feel he is due to come back to earth a tad, especially since Westbrook, Stallworth and Brown are all banged up.
2) Bledsoe may not pass for as many yards but since Dallas has a respectable running game and very good receiving corp, I feel confident Bledsoe will be a better than average producer. My other two QB's are Pennington and C-Pep, so I will play best 2 of 3 based on matchups.
3) I pick up TWO bye weeks and this also helps cover me for a bye week issue later on as McNabb and Pennington were both in off week 9.
4) I upgrade my RB's (Tiki is now my RB2 behind LJ and ahead of Foster, Bush, Norwood, Jones-Drew, Turner.
5) I upgrade my WR's (Harrison is now my WR1 ahead of Roy Williams, Cotchery, Evans and R. Smith)
6) The owner I traded with is NOT in my division and we have already played each other so McNabb can only hurt me H2H in the playoffs.
7) Overall, I feel I improved my team's scoring consistency which in the long-run will improve my chances at the playoffs as we use the CBS Power Rankings (combo of H2H, total pts and overall wins) to determine our two wildcard teams.
I feel good about my trade and am not looking for comments good or bad about it...I hope my trade analysis provides some food for thought to other owners looking to trade / trade for McNabb. Good luck to all!
