QUOTE(Nighthawk @ 10/15/07 11:39pm)

Guys,
Look at the teams as much as the trade itself:
1) I'm thinking I have a stable of RB's and no WR's in a league where I can start 2 RB's and 5 WR's.
2) Look at my WR's again! Holt and V-Jax come in as my two top scoring WR's YTD. (Granted they are not having stellar years)
3) I tried to trade with others for WR help, but didn't have any better offers.
4) Look at scoring up to the trade:
AP- 83.9 points
MJ- 53 points
for
TH- 96.1
VJ- 72
I don't see this as a very lop-sided trade as of last Thursday when it was made.

Relatedly, AP has a history of injuries. Will it continue? Don't know (nobody does).
RBs average career is 4-6 years ... at the time of the trade (i.e., before some of the stories about Holt's knee issues came to light in the last couple of days), I'd have venutured to guess that Holt will have a similar number of productive years left (3-5 was my guess). Further, I like VJax quite a bit more than MJenkins...which I believe is a relatively widely held view.
So, at the time of the trade, Nighthawk traded a RB that was a part of a RBBC on his team (AP wasn't even due to start for Nighthawk before the trade, fwiw) in exchange for two WRs that had scored more than all his other WRs. How many of you would trade a platooning player for two starters?
This is a dynasty league. Holt looks to be on the down side of his career with chronic knee problems this year (which doesn't bode well for his future), 13th WR based on weekly average. Vincent Jackson is the 43rd ranked WR based on weekly average with players like Northcutt, Hiliard, Toomer and Kevin Walter in front of him. Kevin Walter is a free agent that could have been had for $1 and is still available. Reggie Williams is not far behind and is available.
Adrian Peterson is the number 2 RB on the board behind Westbrook and in front of LT, Ronnie Brown and Addai.
Does anybody
really believe that Chester Taylor is going to ever start in Minnesota ... come on get real. Adrian Peterson's future value is off the charts and has been since about week 2. Holt's future value is falling off the bottom of the charts.
