Ursa Majoris Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I have an offer to trade my Andre Johnson for his Kevin Jones. Looks obvious on the surface, but my league awards a point per reception for WRs, but not RBs, which levels the field somewhat. Scoring is pretty standard other than the WR PPR - 6pts per TD, 1 pt per 10 yards rush / receive. My current RBs (start 1 or 2): McAllister, Parker, Dom Davis, Cedric Benson, Ronnie Brown, Shipp My current WRs (start 3 or 4): Booker, Colbert, Evans, Kennison, Stallworth, A Johnson. I think trading Andre J might make me a little light at WR...... Any thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilthorp Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 My thoughts are that with that trade you'll have as many as 6 starting RB's on your roster by the time Week 8 rolls around. Lots of bench points for RB's compared to subpar WR points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavinRJohnson Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Yep. You've got to hold onto AJ and hope it gets better. You're stocked at RB and your WRs...uh...suck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really need to strengthen WR and surely Johnson won't suck permanently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bier Meister Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 how much do you like Jones? yeah, you would be stocked on starting rb's, but could you turn it into an upgrade over a johnson? i would suggest doing it with the intention of trading 1 or some of your backs to upgrade wr.

weirhead Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Or, you could pull the trigger, then package a couple of RBs for a top-flight WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
