What has Big Ben been gettin you lately? trade value (1 Viewer)

[hwjchim]

I'm thinking about trading for him, so just curious as to what is his value right now as the other guy needs a WR.

I've had nibbles on Ben, but nothing I would consider...

I can't get #### for him. Seems like people are still valuing him as an average backup.

I just traded him to a QB staved team for Lee Evans There is some interest out there from teams with weak QBs. Make some offers and see if anything sticks, you might be surprised.

not much.

in my main league, it's quite apparent that he'll be far more valuable to me (as a guy with top 7 potential that i bought for $2) than he will be as any trade bait.

i have no interest in trading him. his production still exceeds his trade value. i'm not sure when that'll reverse, but i assume it'll be too late in the season to make great trade bait.

i just plan on riding my bargain to another title.

I was offered Brees+Caddy for Big Ben+Edge before week 1.

Gave Ben and Edge for SJax and Schaub. Lopsided for me but I sold hard on Orlando Pace being out and the new offense in both Arizona and Pittsburgh. I was also preaching the merits of owning Ben during the draft citing FBG and others which helped lay the groundwork. His other RB is M Lynch, so a decent week 1 coupled with Jackson's week 1 probably gave him misplaced confidence in his running attack.

Whatever makes you feel good. Bottom line....you took advantage of a guppy......

Nothing wrong with that If you're not getting much for Ben now, I'd advise keeping him for now, because it's very likely his stock will go up. Barring injury, I think Roethlisberger tosses 25+ TD's this year

Someone in my league traded him and Jamal Lewis for Favre, Jacobs and Galloway.

 

[Jous]

I can't decide if that's a good deal or not.

I am not going to trade him, but for those that are thinking about it ... You may want to wait until after week 4.

With the teams on the schedule -

Week 2 Buff

Week 3 San Fran

Week 4 Arizona

I think his stock would be at peak during this time.

Just my onion.

EDIT - Having just reread the first post and seeing that he is thinking about traded FOR Ben ...

You may want to get him before these games ... or wait until a few weeks later when the schedule gets tougher

Ben has a tough stretch at the end of the season however, so keep that in mind when deciding YOUR value of him.

I'm starting him this week over Bulger....if anyone watched the Rams game, once Pace went out the Rams offense came to a grinding hault.

 

[jturner01]

I did not get a chance to watch the game I only saw the final stats. He did not get many yards, but did he look good?

He is sitting on waivers and I was thinking about droping Rivers for him.

12 completions - 4 for TD'sI say that was pretty good. What really impressed me was the passes he threw out of bounds. I know he did it twice, and that was GREAT to see. Means he is really starting to understand that sometimes, that is just better.I don't know about dropping Rivers for him, however. Maybe ...

I see. Thanks guys. I don't want to turn this to the Assistiant coach question. BUt Big Ben owner keeps on asking a whole lot from me cause I have no QB and he has 3 good qb's.. Hm Thanks again
