    Should I do it?

    I play in a 1 QB, 2 WR, 2 RB, K, TE and DT league. I have Holmes, but no great receivers (T. Glenn, K. McCardell, T. Brown & Marty Booker). Deuce McCallister is my other RB, and I have TJ Duckett and K. Barlow off the bench.

    The guy I'm trading with is not in my division. However, he also has Faulk on his team, and I'm kinda worried about him having a Faulk/Holmes combination if I have to meet him in the playoffs (he's 3-0, I'm 2-1).

    His other receivers are E. Moulds, P. Burress, D. Branch and Q. Morgan.

    Thoughts???

    Lineup before the trade:

    RB1: Priest Holmes
    RB2: Deuce McAllister

    WR1: Tim Brown
    WR2: Marty Booker or Terry Glenn


    Lineup after the trade:

    RB1: Deuce McAllister
    RB2: Eddie George

    WR1: Marvin Harrison
    WR2: Tim Brown


    I like the pre-trade lineup a lot better. Holmes has been terrific and it looks like George will never be the running back he was two years ago. Stick with what you have.

    You let someone have Faulk and Holmes and you can kiss your money goodbye.

    No trade.

    Holmes is a TD, rushing, and reception machine. Can he keep up his current pace? Probably not, but he's shown he's no fluke. Holmes is KC's offense, plain and simple. He's this year's Marshall Faulk. I think you'll be fine at WR with Tim Brown and Marty Booker. Eddie George is starting to break down. McAllister (Double Deuce!) is still unproven. Stick with Holmes.

    Also, like mateo pointed out, giving a competitor Holmes and Faulk is giving away the championship.
