10 Team Winner's League. Standard Yahoo Format. Pick #2 overall. QB - Rodgers RB - Peterson, Pierre Thomas, Michael Bush, Arian Foster, Montario Hardesty WR - Colston, Smith (Giants), Pierre Garcon, Mike Wallace, Jacoby Jones TE - Gonzalez, Winslow K - Crosby Def - Giants
Yeah. I always get stuck with a glut of good RBs and a shortage of reliable WRs it seems. So I usually try to package an RB for a WR upgrade.
I just tried to package Favre and Sims-Walker to somebody in return for Cutler and Steven Jackson. Think that's fair? Cutler is their starting QB. I also am tempted to offer someone else Favre and Sims-Walker for Joe Flacco and Mendenhall or Piere Thomas. I'm hoping to pull off the Jackson deal first though, and if that fails, going to Plan B with Mendenhall.
You think so? I'm bigger on Mendenhall than Thomas, especially since the Steelers will have no choice but to run with Ben R. doing time. I could also trade Favre and Thomas Jones for Flacco and Mendenhall or Pierre.
I know you young cats like to try and get an up and coming back, but Thomas is going to be suited for a much better year than Mendenhall. You likely aren't going to get much from him at all until Big Ben comes back. Its not just that, its the opening Steelers schedule which is pretty brutal. You're in a position to need a guy who is going to carry the load from your RB position if Ryan Mathews has some rookie issues out of the gate. Pierre Thomas is the guy who is going to be a consistently good performer. He will almost certainly score 12 TDs. I also wouldn't touch Steven Jackson with a 10 foot pole. Talk about a guy who had so much talent but was always stuck with one of the worst offensive lines of all time. The Rams are going to be brutally bad this year, and I don't think Jackson will be able to hold up.
Allright then. Here are the two teams I'm trading with. Cook me up a deal they can't refuse. I'm looking to score an RB and jettison Favre, and both of them need QB or WR help, obviously. Team A: 1. (RB) Ray Rice 2. (RB) Rashard Mendenhall 3. (RB) Pierre Thomas 4. (QB) Joe Flacco 5. (WT) Antonio Gates 6. (WT) Chad Ochocinco 7. (WT) Pierre Garcon 8. (WT) Tony Gonzalez 9. (WT) Wes Welker 10. (WT) Antonio Bryant 11. (DEF) San Francisco 12. (K) Nate Kaeding 13. (WT) Golden Tate 14. (WT) Jacoby Jones Team B: 1. (RB) Frank Gore 2. (RB) Steven Jackson 3. (QB) Jay Cutler 4. (WT) Calvin Johnson 5. (RB) Beanie Wells 6. (WT) Steve Smith (nyg) 7. (WT) Dwayne Bowe 8. (RB) Jahvid Best 9. (DEF) Green Bay 10. (WT) Jermichael Finley 11. (RB) Montario Hardesty 12. (RB) Ahmad Bradshaw 13. (WT) Lee Evans 14. (K) Rob Bironas
Yeah I'll cook you up some crack son. You need Pierre Thomas, but you can also score yourself a Pierre Garcon, another highly productive player in a high scoring offense. This is a very overlooked strategy, but can be highly effective. You offer him Favre and Mike Sims-Walker, just to see if he's an idiot but I'd hold onto DeSean Jackson, even over Roddy White. Karl Kold is gonna light it up.
QB: Tom Brady (Some dude chose Rivers in the 1st round -___- ) RB: Michael Turner (7th overall) RB: Ryan Matthews RB/WR: Ronnie Brown WR: Larry Fitzgerald (13th overall) WR: Sidney Rice TE: Owen Daniels (from here on out it was the computer since i had to go pickup my girlfriend but I put some players on the list) D/ST: Broncos K: Rob Bironas --------- BE: CJ Spiller BE: Darren Mcfadden BE: Donald Brown BE: Braylon Edwards BE: Malcolm Floyd BE: Donovan McNabb BE: Chester Taylor I think I'm pretty stacked at rb
My bid for SJax got shot down. Trying this trade now. Brett Favre Thomas Jones Mike Sims-Walker for Joe Flacco Pierre Thomas or Rashard Mendenhall Jacoby Jones I'm high on Jacoby this year, plus his returning yards and tds make him a big value in my league... I am super low on Thomas Jones and Sims-Walker... but they are perceived as fairly valuable in my league, hence the trade. Any suggestions?
With the Colts offense, should Dallas Clark be looked at like you're actually getting another wide receiver and not a tight end?
I changed it up a bit. B. Favre T. Jones D. Avery for J. Flacco P. Thomas J. Jones Favre is worth a hell of a lot more than Pierre and Jacoby's worth compared to Thomas and Sims-Walker, so I took out MSW and put in Avery to even it up a bit.
Is this guy a fellow Cougar? Because I doubt he's going to care much about Donnie Avery, I think you're going to have to include Sims-Walker. You're already stacked at wideout. But who knows, maybe he'll fall for it when he sees Favre.
Considering this guy has tons of decent WRs already, Pierre is his 3rd RB, and QB is his weakest position, he shouldn't hesitate at a chance to trade his backups to me (Pierre and Jacoby) to me for a Top 5 QB. If he balks, he's a r****d. And yeah, he's a fellow cougar, but he wouldn't know Kevin Kolb if he got stabbed by him with a wild pig hunting knife.
