I got Bulger for Reggie Brown straight up. I think that works for me. You said to add depth at rb, like morency, but who do I trade. Delhomme? Thanks again.Thank you. Here are some random thoughts:I think you should try to trade Delhomme and Colston for Vick or Bulger. Each should outproduce Jake by quite a bit and Colston should not start too much for you. Your weakness, if there is one, will be RB depth. I say that because we are half way through the season. LJ is a must start each week. Green has been playing well, too, but he does carry injury risk. If Green goes down, I would not want to ride Deuce, Norwood, or Leon every week even though each has very good potential. If you make the deal for a QB upgrade, I would not trade away your WR depth. The ability to start Boldin and Wayne each week is a great start. Your team can beat that other team. Your team is very strong. I like your team best of the two. I would keep Minny defense.I would probably try the deal for a qb with reg brown and delhomme first then go up to colston if need be. That would be a great move if so. I like the Maroney for Wayne deal. I think you are only a couple of moves away. I would look to upgrade QB and look to add RB depth. By RB depth, I mean a RB like Morency who should be cheap with his latest injury. Hope this helps.Hi, this is a 12 team redraft league. we start 1qb, 2rb, 2wr,1flex-rb/wr/te, 1te, 1 pk and 1 def.my rosterBrees J Delhomme A Green L Johnson J Norwood D McAllister L Washington M Colston J Cotchery A Boldin R Brown C Henry R Wayne M Muhammad T Gonzalez N Kaeding D Vikings I am thinking of trading a wr or 2 to improve on another postion. Not sure what the best move is. The team with Bulger and Vick is looking to trade one of them. After Delhomme's last game maybe that is a consideration. Would you trade Colston for either? if not who? I would like to trade Brown but I think his value is dropping. I just traded Maroney for Wayne but maybe looking for another rb. Should I look for another def? Vikes got beat up by NE but still got me 13 points, they are the 3rd best def in our league. What are my weaknesses for weeks 14-16? If I get in the playoffs-only the top 2 in each divison advance and I am tied for first-my oppenent has:B Roethlisberger D McNabb W Dunn S Alexander B Westbrook D Williams C Perry M Bennett Reg Williams S Smith T Holt J Shockey R McMichael R Gould D Bengals D Ravens It will be tough to get past his team Thanks for your advice.

I would try Cotchery. You will start Wayne, Boldin and still have Colston and Muhsin. Cotch is not a loss. Morency would protect you against a Green injury. But, Morency is supposed to be out two weeks. I might wait until after this weekend to make that offer.I got Bulger for Reggie Brown straight up. I think that works for me.

I would definitely drop Porter for Watson or Witten. Both are huge upgrades over Porter. For this week, I think I would start Housh for sure, Chambers since they will be throwing a lot to chatch up and then either Furrey or RMoss. I would lean, ever so slightly, to Furrey. The Falcons defense is giving up a ton of points to WRs. In my PPR league, the Falcon defense is the WORST defense at allowing points to WRs. They are great otherwise. I also expect Detroit to play well coming off of a bye. Moss probably has a 50% chance at a TD, but fewer yards. I like Furrey over Watson/Witten, but they are worth picking up.
I don't know if the other team would even consider it but what do you think of mcallister, washington, delhomme and cotchery in any combo of 2 or 3 for kev.jones? jones plays bears week 16 at home and mcallister plays @ giants week 16.I would try Cotchery.

sorry, I am late getting to this. I am never around on Sunday mornings. Since Tatum was incative, the choice was easy. The WRs I think are easy for you since Porter stinks and Mason is not getting enough decent looks. Sorry, again.

Footballguy
Well, he turned it down this morning. I think LTs performance on Sunday was just too much. He wants to re-visit in the offseason, so depending on things it might make sense then. So it looks like I'll have another decision to make after week 16 when our season ends. I'll be re-posting then. Though I'm sure more questions will arise before then...

The owner just agreed to the S Moss and Lundy for Harrison and J Norwood. Unfortunately this week's game won't count. The rest of the league is pretty upset about it and wants the commish to void the trade.Assuming he doesn't my team is now:Bulger/BradyR Brown/C Taylor/W Dunn/J Norwood/C Perry/K BarlowM Harrison/D Driver/M Colston/D MasonB Watson/V DavisJ BrownPats DWe start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, Flex (RB or WR), TE, K, D. I'm in first place in my division (5-4) and things are looking a lot better then they were two weeks ago.Hmmm...just thought of this possible trade scenario (redraft league). Our playoffs are week 13-16 BTW.I give: Brady, Driver, and R Brown for Delhomme, LT, and TurnerOr should I wait to make sure injuries don't hit me since this would pretty much deplete whatever depth I have?

nice trade. I do like that deal for you if the LT owner will go for it. Getting LT for down the stretch would be great, just make sure you get Turner, too, in case LT rests late in the year.Congrats.
Hey Wannabe
12 team dynasty, obviously this is a short-term investment but would help me gain some ground and possibly win some monay. What type of player/pick would you give up for Tiki? The guy that owns Tiki is just about mathematically eliminated from winning anything this year so he's looking to rebuild asap.
Some on my team I could part with
Schaub
Gado
Dillon
Reggie Brown or Braylon (I'd want more in return though)
Michael Jenkins
Engram
next years 2nd or something like that?
What say you?

I know most Tiki owners, in that boat, are looking to get all they can for him. I would not give either Schaub or Braylon. I know many Tiki owners are looking for 1st rounders. But, I think you might be best off offering Reggie Brown and Dillon. That offer looks a lot better than it really is. Even if you "settle" on Reg Brown and a 2nd, you are still greatly improving your chances at winning it all at a very cheap price.

It's not LT, but I could trade Jamal Lewis for DeAngelo Williams and a 3rd round college pick.
I'm trying to move Lewis for someone who can help me next season. I tied this week and am a respectable 4-4-1, but I'm not going to make the playoffs unless a miracle happens. This owner also has Joseph Addai and Cedrick Benson, but I don't think he'll part with either. I'm leary of DeAngelo's injury risk and being stuck behind DeShaun Foster for the next 2 years, but Lewis seems to have lost a step from his elite RB days. But maybe we're seeing a revitalization with Billick taking over?
As a sidenote, the pick would allow me to keep McFadden and Stewart in the 3rd round a free up a first round draft pick because I have no 2nd rounder. It's a little confusing because college guys are kept using draft picks with the second round, then third round and then first round (in that order). No matter whether I do this deal or not I need another pick for this purpose. Based on our system, my current pick/keeper strategy looks like this:
4 first rounders:
1 - Open pick; team is 1-8 (likely a top 3 pick)
2 - Open pick; team is 2-7 (likely a top 3 pick)
3 - Marshawn Lynch; team is 2-7 (likely a top 3 pick)
4 - Darren McFadden; team is 4-5 (likely a 4-8 pick)
No second round pick and one third rounder to keep Jonathan Stewart.
I have four possibly very good picks (even considering dilution from the college rosters) with two picks currently being used on 2 college guys. I appreciate that this is a good problem to have, but I'm going to get value out of this either by trading down in the first round or getting additional picks in the later rounds. We only keep 13 guys, so I'd probably only be able to keep 2 first round draft picks anyway. But I should get the value out of them. I'm just not sure the best way to do it? We have a lottery system so I won't know what pick I'm trading until after that happens when the season ends. I think I have 3 options:
1. Trade Jamal Lewis for a younger RB
2. Trade Jamal Lewis and either a WR or pick for a better RB (Shaun Alexander, Rudi Johnson)
3. Keep Lewis because he's still only 28 next year and the offense seems centered around him
Any thoughts on any of this? Our trade deadline for the season is November 19 otherwise I'll have to wait until after the season. But that might be the best thing because I can't know for certain what pick I'd be trading until then.

I have a WDIS question - Zealot league 12 teams start 2/3 RB 3/4 WR 1 pt per .01 yard rushing/receiving no ppr.
My main RB's are Droughns vs Falcons. Dillon vs Jets and C Taylor vs Packers. Droughns has a bad matchup and played terribly last week but had a bad matchup the week before and did really well. I'm wondering if I should bench him and start 4 WR instead
My WR are
Plax vs Bears
M Floyd @ Bengals
C Henry vs Chargers
TJ Houshmandzadeh vs Chargers
G Jennings vs Vikings
D Stallworth vs Redskins
E Wilford vs Texans
I have started TJ and Henry in the past when I've started 4 WR and have done ok. But that was during bye weeks. I'm wondering about Wilford being a sneaky 4th WR with his chemistry with his QB
Otherwise I'm looking at Plax (providing he is playing) and Henry and TJ - not sure that is the best way to go. thanks

Wannabee,
Now that Toomer is out how much do you think that it would improve Shockey's value? I think that it is possible with the lack of other weapons that he could approach the value of Gates. That being said, I have a trade out there, of Shockey and Glenn, for Gates. I am loaded at WR, and Glenn only rides my bench as a 5th WR. What are your thoughts?

I would not play Rueben. I am not sold on that guy. He has OLine issues and his QB (Frye) is questionable. All Browns scare me. Dillon and Taylor are easy choices. Jennings is questionable and his injury could change things. Same goes with Stallworth. I would start Housh and Plax for sure. So, you have Plax, Housh, Dillon, and Chester and need two more. I would shy away from Wilford for another week. And, no way you can play Floyd. So, the choices for two spots are
roughnsJenningsStallworthAs we get this far, I think you have to start Droughns, even under the circumstances and hope one of the WRs is healthy.I didn't feel comfortable getting rid of all my depth with 3 more weeks to the playoffs. Plus that owner is extremely anti-trade based on previous discussions.I was approached with this offer from another owner though:I get:Rivers, Philip SDC QBMcGahee, Willis BUF RBThomas, Anthony BUF RBJohnson, Andre HOU WRI give:Bulger, Marc STL QBDunn, Warrick ATL RBNorwood, Jerious ATL RBDriver, Donald GBP WRMcGahee has at least two broken ribs, I've heard conflicting reports, but that playoff schedule is pretty nice (our playoffs are week 13-16). This would make my starting roster:Brady/RiversTwo RB's of Ronnie Brown, Chester Taylor, W McGahee/A ThomasTwo WR's of Marvin Harrison and Andre JohnsonFlex of one RB or WR aboveIs it that much of an improvement (redraft league)?

I love the deal for you with Lewis for DWilliams and the pick. If a dynasty draft were held today, I think Williams would be picked before (long before) Lewis. Also, I think McFadden could be special. A couple of ideas on the picks, and managing them:
a. Trade a pick and a player for a better player. A suggestion might be to trade a lower pick and DWilliams for Maroney or Bush. The is just an example and could be done similarly for any player. It is all about upgrading the roster.
b. Trade a lower pick and a college player for a better college player like APeterson.
c. No need to trade down if you can only keep a small, finite amount of players.
d. Trade a pick, preferably lower, for a player like Norwood. He is in a known situation with great upside. Dunn is 32.
Hope this helps.

Footballguy
I do not like that deal for you at all. I like dunn/norwood as much, or more, than willis/atrain. AJ is better than Driver, but by less than the difference between Bulger and Rivers. But, if you will start Brady each week, I think it could work out great for you. I think I would like it better with you giving Brady and not Bulger. Bulger is playing well this year. But, I can see the upgrade at WR helping you the way AJ has played. He has played great. I guess my lack of committment on this deal stems from my lack of faith in Willis. In the end, I think I would do the deal, especially if you keep Bulger over Brady. As it gets cold, one is playing ina dome and one is playing outside in Boston.

I read some things today that make me leary of Willis for the rest of the season. Some doubt whether or not he will make it back at all. I think it is too early to tell right now. I might offer Mason and Driver in a 2-for-1 for AJohnson and see if the other owner bites. On the PManning offer. I love Peyton this year. But, I think you would be giving too much in a start 1 QB league each week. I see Bulger coming close to Peyton for the rest of the season. Comston has been $$, so I would hate to trade him away while he is so hot.Okay now he changed it to Mason instead of Driver.Rivers, Philip SDC QBMcGahee, Willis BUF RBThomas, Anthony BUF RBJohnson, Andre HOU WRI give:Bulger, Marc STL QBDunn, Warrick ATL RBNorwood, Jerious ATL RBMason, Derrick BAL WRThoughts?***editAssuming I do this deal, I've been talking to another owner about getting Peyton.He wants Colston and Brady in exchange for Peyton.Should I do that?Would make my starting roster

with no PPR, it is really close. I think I would go with the Norwood side. I love Colston, and like Driver. Colston could be special. Driver is a solid, very underrated WR. I think perry is talented but will never be more than a 3rd down, change of pace, RB who is oft-injured. So, the deal, to me, is Driver and Norwood for Colston and a throw in named Perry. The more I think of it, I really like the Norwood side with Dunn turning 32 years old in January. If the rookie drafts were held today, Norwood could possibly be a top 3 pick and Colston around 5 or 6. I know I might look at this differently than most, even as a Colston fan, I like Norwood ... a lot.

Footballguy
Thanks Wannabee I apprechiate your opinion on this.I think you overlook Perry's potential a bit but other than that I agree with your assesment.Wrs tend to last longer for Dynasty purposes than Rbs do so that evens out the position scarcity issue somewhat imhoColston has more stability with Brees and New Orleans offense than Driver has with Favre possibly retiring and what effect that may have on a aging and lets be honest not overwhelmingly talented reciever in Driver.. Driver with a poor Qb may be very average compared to the other Wrs in the league. Colston is definitly special..
wannabee
Footballguy
You may be right on Perry. With Rudi being added to the injury report today, we might find out sooner than later. Colston is special, I agree completely. But, Norwood is still worth more (when healthy) just because everyone is trying to hit the next Portis or LT. I think Norwood will be worth a ton this offseason due to situation. He is on everyone's "buy" lists. Good luck.

Seneca vSTL (Playing at home-may be better option?)
Should I grab Harrington of the WW

Addai vBUF
Ronnie Brown vKC
Reggie Bush vPIT
3 WR's
Reggie Wayne vBUF
TJ Housh vSD
Javon Walker @OAK
Terry Glenn @ARI
TE
Ben Watson vNYJ
K
Nate Kaeding @DEN
DEF

I would use the waiver from Oak defense on either Carr or Leinart. But, this week, I like Seneca. They need the win and are at home. The Rams have always plyed better in the dome, not the great outdoors. Gore at RB1 and either Addai or Brown at RB2. I would lean, ever so slightly, to Addai.Start all WRs other than Glenn, since he is hurt.Denver is a good defense this week.puddy said:

The RBs are easy for me to choose: Westbrook and Brown with Tatum hurt, Thomas might be blown out and who knows week to week with Dallas. Westbrook and Brown both catch a lot of passes.The WRs are easy, too, in Housh and Driver. The TE should be Watson.The flex is tough. I see it between Thomas, Barber, Mason, DClark. I think I might go with Barber since he is a decent play each week. He is the safe choice. He, or Mason, are the two choices for me.

I think I would sit Driver in both. Colston just had Hord downgraded and has a great chance each week for yard and TDs. Roy gets a decent matchup this week and Marvin has to start each week. Congrats on a great wr corps in each league.
Here we go again. 12 team redraft league. Lt's owner will trade him. I'm not sure I want him. I lose a lot of WR depth and strength. If I did the trade, I might should look to trade a rb for another wr or LT or LJ for KJ/D.Jax or S.Jax/A>johnson, don't know if that will fly.
So he will trade to me LT, Favre, A.Bryant and Moulds(I would counter with Morency). He wants from me, Bulger, Colston, Wayne and A-Train
My roster:
D Brees J Delhomme M Bulger
A Thomas A Green L Johnson D McAllister L Washington
M Colston J Cotchery C Henry R Wayne M Muhammad A Boldin
T Gonzalez
N Kaeding
D Vikings
new roster:
Brees Delhomme Favre
LJ LT McAllister, A.Green L.Washington
Boldin Muhammad Cotchery Henry
Gonzo
Kaeding
Vikings
If I do not make the trade LT may go to another team who I will see in the playoffs. Potential oppentent-S.Alexander, LT, Dunn, Holt, S.Smith , McNabb
Thanks

I think I might pass because that is pricey for LT since he may sit out late in season. He may sit out the 2nd half of some games which would stink for you. I would still look to upgrade a RB by trading either Deuce or Green plus a RB for a top RB.Here we go again. 12 team redraft league. Lt's owner will trade him. I'm not sure I want him.

Sorry I was not around to get to this. I would go with Delhomme. I like the matchup a lot

Hi Wannabee,
2 possible deals have been discussed by 2 different owners. They are:
1) Jamal Lewis, Lee Evans, and my worst 1st round college pick FOR DeAngelo Williams, Matt Jones and a 3rd round college pick
Swapping the 1st and 3rd picks is a wash for me as I'd be using either pick to keep a college guy.
2) Jamal Lewis, Terrell Owens, Musa Smith and my worst 1st round college pick FOR Clinton Portis and 2 scrubs
My hesitation with this is the impact to my WRs for next year (barring a miracle I'm out of it for this year). TO has really played well these last few weeks and I see him being even better next year when his hand is healed and he gets more familiar with Romo. Then again, Portis should be a top-ranked RB next year, which is always nice to have.
My trading deadline is this week, so I might have several questions regarding trades. Any insight is appreciated. Thanks.

Hey, I like both offers. I think both offers are great offers for you. A few things:a. I really like the idea of getting Williams and Jones over Lewis and Evans. The WRs are a wash now, but Jones has potential if he can get healthy. Lewis, at present and near future, is tough to start each week. Williams has the potential to be a star. I love this deal for you.b. In offer 2, is there any way to get a 3rd round college pick so you can cover your current college player? I think that is a very cheap price to get Portis. Top 5 RBs are very difficult to come by. This is a very cheap price, but I would want to keep the college pick. I like both.

Thanks for the insight. Things are REALLY heating up with this last week of trading. I've got too more possible deals involving Lewis too.1) Jamal Lewis and Terrell Owens for Kevin Jones, Jake Delhomme and a 3rd rounder (would free up one of my first round picks)2) Jamal Lewis for Marion Barber III and a 3rd round pickI'm thinking that you will like option #2 better because I wouldn't be giving up TO. But is option 1 a reasonable deal? On the one hand, I like KJ and how he's rebounded with Martz this year and Bloom really likes him (ranked #4 on the dynasty rankings). On the other, he still injury prone, even this year (concussion and hip most recently).Any additional thoughts on any of this?

I am very high on MB3, and think KJ is playing great. My biggest concern for KJ is what happens when martz is gone next year? I think I would prefer the KJ deal, but both are GREAT options. I am very high on Barber and even Bloom has him around rb22, which is very high. I like both of these options, and the Portis one.
Aargh.I'm thinking of moving Harrison. What type of RB could I get if I packaged him with Dunn or him with Chester? Playoffs are week 13-16, and I'm getting concerned with Chester wearing down. Scoring is the same as WR's but obviously rushing stats (plus 3 pt bonus of 50 yards receiving).
Hey,
I wanted to get your opinion on a trade in my 10 team redraft league. Scoring system is as follows: 1 PPR, 1 point for 10 yards rushing/receiving or 20 yards passing, and 10 points per TD. We start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 1 K, and then IDP. I was offered the following trade:
I give up:
Philip Rivers, Reggie Brown, and Laurence Maroney
I receive:
Terrell Owens and Eli Manning
My Roster:
QB
Philip Rivers
Jake Plummer
Ben Roethlisburger
Charlie Frye
RB
Tiki Barber
Brian Westbrook
Corey Dilon
L. Maroney
Willis McGahee
Anthony Thomas
Brandon Jacobs
WR
Chad Johnson
Donald Driver
Chris Chambers
Reggie Brown
Matt Jones
TE
Ben Watson
Jerremy Stevens
I think that I am going to accept the trade. Rivers is the 10th ranked QB while Eli is the 11th in my scoring system. They are only 20 points apart, and I like Eli's chances of finishing the season strong. TO is the #5 ranked WR while Reggie Brown is #16 and has a lot of question marks right now. I can afford to lose Maroney. Thank you.

sorry, man. I think Dunn and Harrison could get any RB short of LJ or LT. But in most probability, you should be able to get a Ronnie Brown, Westbrook, or maybe even Alexander
