This trade was proposed to me by one of my son's friends: I trade: Isaac Bruce Marshall Faulk I receive: Priest Holmes Jerry Rice He may sweeten the pot to include Freddy Garcia if I also trade Trent Green Whadya you guys think?
Boy do I ever feel sheepish. At least I didn't type Jerry Garcia. (Yes, I meant Jeff Garcia.) He has actually countered w/ Holmes, Rice, and Garcia for Faulk, Bruce, and Griese.
STILL >>> DO NOT DO THIS TRADE. faulk is the best player in the game. holmes had a good first game, but i have him in one league sitting on my bench (i got ricky williams and correy dillon in front of him). Faulk = 12/10 Bruce = 7/10 Griese = 7/10 Holmes = 7.5/10 Rice = 6.5/10 Garcia =9/10 hmmm...you lose...basically because faulk is so valuable. PLUS you got Griese and Trent Green, both solid QB's. There is no need to trade Faulk simply to improve on a an already decent set of QB's. btw...who is your other RB? because this is how i traded faulk in one league: I gave: Marshall Faulk Torry Holt Ron Gardner Muhsin Mohammad I received: Curtis Martin Marvin Harrison David Boston The reason why i did this is I did not have enough solid WR starters. Now my team looks like this: (its a yahoo 12 team league) QB - Aaron Brooks WR - Marvin Harrison WR - David Boston WR - Joe Horn RB - Curtis Martin RB - LaDainian Tomlinson TE - Chad Lewis K - Olindo Mare DEF - New England BENCH: Jay Fielder Jay Riemersma Michael Pittman JJ Stokes Kris Brown Oakland DEF see how that filled a need position? k, basically i'm saying, only trade him if it covers up for a major weakness in your lineup and doesn't leave your RB position weak either. If you don't have 2 good RB's...then definately dont trade Faulk unless you get 2 very good ones in return.
My other RB's are Jerome Bettis and Fred Taylor. Since Green throws so many interceptions and Griese is basically made of glass, I considered the trade. Probably won't do it.
If you want to do a trade to upgrad a position...then trade one of those other RB's. They're worth quite a bit and when put with griese or green you could get a great QB.
OK....So if I offer someone their choice: Bettis or Taylor plus Griese or Green which QB's would be worth one of those RB's plus one of those QB's? Warner isn't going to happen.
nope. faulk is a better player, and his injury wasn't serious, should be in next weeks game. once the rams start up again, they'll be unstoppable. i just got luck (IMO) and traded away: -Priest Holmes (my other RB's in a two RB league are R. Williams and Corey Dillon) -Joe Horn and Received: -Kurt Warner (i have Gannon also, so i'll sit Warner until he's playin good again). -Randy Moss (i know he's in trouble, but i got lots of great WR's, could turn out good).
