Maybe you're the problem Jake. You no longer can throw "shots". Just awful again yesterday. Soon the Coach and QB will be gone.
The market can be "wrong" longer than you can be solvent and Steve Smith can be unproductive for longer than your team has to make the playoffs...
Are you KIDDING ME?! I would trade Steve Smith for Burleson and Bradshaw in a heartbeat...
Once again, i'm willing to gamble. Is Burleson going to finish in the top 24 as a reciever in standard formats? I highly doubt it. The guy has had an 1000 yard season once. I like Mason more then him so i have Colston and Mason to cover myself is Smith doesn't turn it around.I don't like losing Bradshaw, but i have more than enough backs to cover myself.So i am trading Burleson who has never had a top 10 season and Bradshaw who will lose goaline carries to Jacobs for Steve Smith. It is a risk i am willing to take.
I like to hear that as a Smith owner. At the same time, take a look at the Seattle and Carolina remaining defenses vs WRs: Smith | Burleson06 @TB (30) | ARI (26)07 BUF (4) | BYE08 @ARI (26) | @DAL (25) 09 @NO (12) | DET (28) 10 ATL (7) | @ARI (26) 11 MIA (13) | @MIN (8) 12 @NYJ (5) | @STL (16) 13 TB (30) | SF (20) 14 @NE (14) (COLD) | @HOU (21) 15 MIN (8) | TB (30) 16 @NYG (1) (COLD) | @GB (27) (COLD)I'm telling you - I'd take Burleson straight up for Smith right now. Just me... that Carolina schedule in weeks 14-16 is VICIOUS.
Yea, i don't play head to head so weeks 14-16 have no significance to me. I'm in a total points league.
He came back in, i don't think it is a big deal.Anyone know anything about this knee injury he suffered in the game? I read that he came back the next series, but did it look like something that might be more significant?I'm about to roll the dice and trade for him
Smith is taking a page out of MJD's book and spouting his displeasure to the media. Is there any likelihood Smith has the same results as MJD got the following week.? While they go out of their way to get him touches now even if it means throwing into double teams? Maybe they will use the end around or do whatever to keep Smith happy. I hope so because I agree with Smith, He is no longer relevant in their offense.
It seemed to work for Jennings, who had a lot more looks than the rest of this year and two good red zone looks. He didn't convert yet, but hey at least there's hope now...
I don't know how you could be confident at this point. Who are your other options?
I'm trying to land him cheap as well as Jacobs, Witten and Sjax.
The problem is few people will really agree to sell him low. Anyone selling is hoping that the buyer is higher on him than his current value and will pay in kind. I've been offered Boldin and Smith for Moss and Harvin...I was told I was NUTS for turning it down.
I cant sell him low for anything. I have RB problems and offered him around the league. Best offer I got was Maroney UGH
It depends on the owner's situation. My league is a one-player keeper league. The Smith owner is done for the year in all probability so Moreno would represent his top potential keeper for next year. For me, Moreno is fourth or fifth on my list of keepers so it comes down to whether I think Smith will rebound and help me this season and whether the Smith owner wants to add a player with potential keeper value. In a straight re-draft, I agree it may be more difficult to get the Smith owner to part with him.
Just pulled it off, except I caved and threw in Holt.Hopefully this gives you guys a good idea of what he's worth these days. I think it's a high risk high reward (not so much high risk at the price I paid though
).I just love starting talented players after a dud week (where I won anyway), especially when said player questions his role on the team. I can see them run more screens for him, possibly a running play or two . Sure, I have Santonio on a bye which helps and I totally fabricated my confidence level but I have reason to hope.greedygoat said:Banger said:This "starting him with confidence" must be schtick!
I hope you're right, I'm just not sure I have the stones to start him again, ever!I just love starting talented players after a dud week (where I won anyway), especially when said player questions his role on the team.

a dud week is one thing...a dud 5 weeks where he's on pace for 67 catches 828 yards and 0 tds is another....that being said I'm shooting out lowball offers in hopes of a bite.I just love starting talented players after a dud week (where I won anyway), especially when said player questions his role on the team.

FWIW - Just dealt MSW for Smith, partially desperation driven move on my part to cover for the bye week jam I have at the moment, but just wanted to let people know what's possible. It's a .5 ppr redraft.
You'd rather have Smith than MSW? That's quite interesting.
Actually, I think he got the better end of the deal on a player for player basis. Some other factors on why I did it: I needed to cover for some severe bye week issues and I am also buying a lottery ticket in hoping Smith's temper tantrum this week gets him some more opportunities in the future. I also have Garrard and MJD on the same team, so rolling out three Jags on a weekly basis wasn't exactly thrilling to me, especially after the Seattle fiasco. Sounds funny to say that Sims Walker for Smith would sound so lopsided in favor of MSW after six weeks, but that's how far Smith has fallen in less than half a season. Just wanted to let people know a deal that worked to acquire Smith, sorry for the slight hijack.
I can appreciate the reservations about starting three Jags but I think the Seattle fiasco was due in large part to Sims-Walker being suspended. If he had been active, I think the Jags would have done a lot better.
WOW
Yep, and I would have, too.
Its basically Nicks for Smith. I dont think Id accept that but Id def think about it.
