    I know people usually say to draft a rb in first round and I did (Edgerrin James), but I've been offered Manning straight up for James in a league that starts two rbs.

    My current qbs are Brady and Plummer. My other rbs are Steven Jackson, Lundy and Reuben Droughns. Thoughts?

    While fair in principle, this trade really doesn't make sense for your team. You already have good QBs and if you accepted, your RB2 would be very weak.

    fadeaway.. that is what I was thinking as well. Brady and Manning seem closer in production than James and the running back I'd have to replace him with.... the only thing about Brady is... how much will the Deion Branch situation be a problem?

    Just wanted to make sure I wasn't crazy because I'm planning on turning down Manning for James.

    What are the league settings? I would probably make that trade.

    Thanks for the help.

    Here are the settings that probably matter for qb/wr
    1 point for every 50 passing yards
    6 points for every passing TD
    -2 for every interception
    1 point for every 20 rushing yards
    6 points for every rushing TD
    1 point for every 20 reception yards
    6 points for every reception touchdown
    2 points for every 2 point conversion

    6pts for passing TDs changes things a bit.

    No, it really doesn't. Not in this case.

    We'll see how Brady does without his star WR.

    Exactly, but with those settings I guess that trade doesn't work for you.

    I got a trade question...

    Was trading away Reggie Bush + Deuce McAlister for Clinton Portis a good idea?

    Finally, what are the glaring weaknesses on my squad that I should focus on for waivers or possible trade idea if you see a need.


    FYI ->Team I traded with accidentally picked up Domanick Davis in an auto-draft so they needed some running back depth which I was glad to give them both the Saints RB's...

    Anyways ->Here is my current squad now and below that are the Yahoo League settings...

    QB S. McNair
    WR T. Owens
    WR P. Burress
    WR D. Mason
    RB S. Jackson
    RB D. Rhodes
    TE C. Cooley
    K D. Akers
    DEF Indianapolis

    BN W. Lundy
    BN B. Roethlisberger
    BN A. Toomer
    BN C. Portis
    BN V. Morency
    BN Kansas City
