Trade Offer: Larry Fitzgerald for Kirk Morrison

[scuba chuck]

My friend has offered me this trade. My lineup is in my signature, starters in bold. The primary decision here is if I'm willing to go the remainder of the season with Brandon Moore as the replacement AND if we think Kirk Morrison could garner something better. Be aware that this friend also reads this forum (not religiously).

 

Other important information: I currently have the 2nd best record in my league at 8-2. My next 3 matchups are against the 1,3 & 4th best records in our league. The reality of it is that the 4th best record is probably the first or second best lineup in our league now (I think - perhaps biased, but probably not, that I am the other team with best lineup)

 

The team I'm considering this trade with is on the outside looking in. He needs to win out, and probably have some other things go his way. Schedule-wise, it is soft enough for him to win out. Power Rankings wise, he plays the 11th best team (12 team league), 9th best team, and 6th best team over the next 3 games. He's ranked 7th.

 

His lineup:

Kitna, Garrard

Gore, Henry, Anthony Thomas, Jerome Harrison, Lendale White

Torry Holt, Reggie Wayne, Larry Fitzgerald, Deion Branch, Chris Henry

 

Brooking, London Fletcher-Baker, Daryl Smith, Karlos Dansby

Schweigart

 

Starting Lineups. With regards to wrs, rbs & te's, we can start any legal nfl lineup. Starting 3 RBs is the most formidable lineup in my league, so I only need 2 WRs considering my RB lineup.

 

Here are the questions:

Is an injured Fitzgerald worth the risk of owning over my other suboptimal receivers?

Do you think that I should be able to garner better than Fitzgerald in this deal (Holt or Wayne)?

If I required him to throw in "the ghost" does that make a difference at all? (Jerome Harrison)

Kirk Morrison is in the top ten in your league in LBer scoring. Fletcher should be #1. Morrison is probably scoring better than every receiver in the league except for say the top 6. I would have to have more than Fitzgerald to give away Morrison. That doesn't even take into consideration the tweak in the hammy from last week.

 

I offer him Barnett and he should feel lucky I did that. Because, unfortunately for him....Morrison is gonna command a Reggie Wayne from his roster.

Fletcher-Baker, London LB BUF KID VICIOUS 137.25

Witherspoon, Will LB STL HARP'S HURRICANES 117

Ryans, DeMeco LB HOU 10TH PLANET 115.75

Edwards, Donnie LB SD 10TH PLANET 109.25

Thomas, Zach LB MIA Malibu's 108.25

Morrison, Kirk LB OAK 10TH PLANET 108.25

 

Above is the top 9 LBs in my league.

 

Colston, Marques WR NO LOGGERHEADS 132.9

Walker, Javon WR DEN Ethanol 130.3

Wayne, Reggie WR IND KID VICIOUS 118.4

Jackson, Darrell WR SEA Ethanol 114.8

Holt, Torry WR STL KID VICIOUS 114.7

Owens, Terrell WR DAL Dead On Arrival 110.4

Smith, Steve WR CAR Cinderella Rockefeller 109.1

Johnson, Andre WR HOU 10TH PLANET 108.8

Williams, Roy WR DET Cinderella Rockefeller 108

 

This list is the top 9 WRs.

 

The thing that definately resonates in my mind is that by accepting Fitz, I carry all the risks (Fitz and Moore/Quarles), and he gains all.

[scuba chuck]

Another thought, how do LBs do against KC and SD? Morrison plays KC twice and SD once (including both the next two weeks - then KC in week 16).

 

Edit: nevermind, those have to be great games for him. Between LT2 and Turner, there's prolly gonna be a lot to go round...

Our league scores way differently than yours!!! In our league....Wayne is one slot ahead of Owens...and Morrison is like 5th. Interesting how scoring systems can make player values differ so much.

Here is our top ten LBers and top ten WRs

10. 44. Thomas, Adalius BAL LB 150 13 39 11 10 14 19 B 13 11 20 Home Batch (Q) 7

 

Wrs:

 

1. 12. Colston, Marques NOS WR 180 14 15 16 24 6 14 B 34 29 28 Winnin' Time 7

2. 16. Johnson, Andre HOU WR 177 16 15 26 27 B 18 24 26 17 8 Home Batch 5

3. 23. Walker, Javon DEN WR 166 7 14 28 B 13 13 19 14 44 14 Just Win, Baby 4

4. 24. Holt, Torry STL WR 164 15 14 26 22 13 41 B 9 8 16 80 Audis 7

5. 26. Jackson, Darrell SEA WR 162 9 25 26 11 B 19 28 17 8 19 Social Misfits 5

6. 29. Wayne, Reggie IND WR 160 10 19 12 11 11 B 25 43 15 14 80 Audis 6

7. 31. Driver, Donald GBP WR 157 16 24 11 12 5 B 25 9 24 31 Lookin' Down 6

8. 32. Owens, Terrell DAL WR 157 20 4 B 13 9 27 21 23 20 20 Miami Rick's Smokers 3

9. 39. Smith, Steve CAR WR 153 18 24 12 32 20 19 B 28 Just Win, Baby 9

10. 42. Harrison, Marvin IND WR 151 20 19 15 14 11 B 26 8 34 4 Lookin' Down 6

 

In my league, Lbers are almost just as important as WRs. I hesitate on Wayne only because he has a 43 point week thrown in there with a lot of mediocre efforts. He has three weeks with 19 or more points...and I am a PPR league. Whereas a guy like Morrison in our league can get huge points for turnovers....10 for INT's and 7 for a sack(5for the actual sack and 2 for the tackle). 5 points for fumble recoveries. We get 1/10 return yards for touchdowns. So I think our scoring rewards big play LBers more than your scoring maybe. Oh yeah, 2 pts for a tackle and 1 per assist.

...and it ended up working out pretty well, until Chad Johnson and LT2 came to town. Do you think Girbil Wilson can record 10 tackles tonight?

[TheShiznit]

I think it is highly likely..he has one or two already. The amount that Jax will run will certainly give him and Pierce excellent shots at big nights...now watch..I just wrote that and they will get 5 tackles between them!!! LOL

 

 

GOOD LUCK!!!!
