TDFFFreak Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 (edited) nope(probably should but for me it doesnt) Interesting... Rudi is generally not known as a pass catching back. Edited August 31, 2006 by TDFFFreak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 Thanks for the input, here is one that I am thinking about offering that the other owner might bite on I give W. McGahee M. Bell T. Bell L. Coles I get R. Brown JJ Arrington G. Jones L. Fitzgerald His other RBs are F. Taylor, D. Foster, W. Green, M. Moore If I were him I would be very worried about RB depth. He really only has 1 RB that can be considered "stable". I know I am asking a lot, and might have to switch L. Coles w/ D. Driver..... considering you said this was a 1st yr dynasty I would offer up driver anyway...you will be able to start SSmith/Fitz for the next god knows how long, Driver will take a major step back next yr if favre retires...so offer coles first and if it works then fine but if not dont worry about it since Clayton should be a nice fill in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted August 31, 2006 Author Share Posted August 31, 2006 Interesting... Rudi is generally not known as a pass catching back. Rudi still managed to finish as the #8 RB in GMX last yr a PPR league so I see that as his downside and think he has the upside to be #5 some will call me crazy but I think its a legit possability and a much safer bet then what and how edge will do on a new team with a new scheme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KansasCowboyfan Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 I have been offered Chester Taylor for WR Roy Williams. I am in a 12 team league. My rb's are Edge,Thomas Jones,DeAngelo Williams My WR's are S.Smith,R.Wayne,Roy Williams,D.Mason and M.Jones Should I do this deal ? or try for a more established RB. Need advice quickly.

I did acquire an extra 1st and 2nd round pick in next years rookie draft, so I could improve if I suffer an injury or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need advice quickly. i like chester a ton so i am a bit biased but even if i remove my rose colored glasses you have the WR depth to make that deal and considering Roy has a propensity to miss some games due to injury I think its a good risk to take to secure chester Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swashbucklers Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 My RBs are portis, Dillon, FTaylor, and DFoster. I have been offered Maroney for Foster. What do you think? (I would have bye week problems in week 6 with only one RB with roster requirements) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I would have bye week problems in week 6 with only one RB with roster requirements) i would do it in a hearbeat and then worry about week 6 what are the chances dillon makes it all yr healthy? if he does then fine cause you own him and if he doesnt then fine cause you will own maroney...have you looked at the schedule NE faces at the end of the yr? I think you will like what you see. How long til foster is dinged or injured? do the deal and dont look back but you could try and wiggle a bit more out of it since Foster is technically a starter....and you should sell it like that too!

Caveman_Nick Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Hi Keg, This is my roster in my IDP dynasty league. You are familiar with the format, as it was modeled pretty much directly after Fusion. I am almost ready to make Roster moves to get the team ready for the season. This is what I am considering: Cutting: Marcel Shipp RB Az (creates a dead contract year) Aaron Elling PK BAL Albert Haynesworth DT Tenn (creates a dead contract year) Phillip Buchanon Hou CB (creates a dead contract year) Andre Woolfolk Tenn CB (creates a dead contract year) This brings me down to 34 players. I am also looking to cut Will Poole from the DTS. He's not on an NFL roster. So, then I can promote one player from the DTS. The leading candidates are DeMeco Ryans, Mike Bell, Vernand Morency, and Mark Bradley. Ryans is the one most likely to get nice numbers, but I am not sure I need him, or want to carry that many LBs. I thought I might give a year to Seau and see how he does, but look at the year playing Brooking and Peterson, and then seeing which of Bell, Spragan, and Webster might jump forward. I can always promote Ryans later if I need to. I think I might want to just keep the spot open for a few weeks to see how things play out in Houston and Denver. Mike McMahon and Junior Seau are closest to the chopping block if I end up needing to cut more players. Any thoughts would be appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuckSurprise Posted September 1, 2006 Share Posted September 1, 2006 Posted this question before but would like another opinion: I left for vacation just after Portis got hurt and have literally had no internet access during the past 2 weeks. I have my big local draft tomorrow night (had only just decided that Portis was the pick a couple of weeks before his injury and now am undecided on the path to take) and wondered how much has changed in the rankings and in Huddlers' thoughts on this spot. I took a look at the cheat sheet on the Huddle home page and Tiki appears to be the accepted #4 overall pick now. I think S-Jax (great schedule) and Brown (the man in Miami now) deserve consideration as well. Sorry if I missed posts on this topic but who would you take at 4? Tiki - tough schedule and getting older but has been superb 2 years running S-Jax - great talent and nice schedule but does seem to get hurt R. Brown - unproven somewhat but a great situation now with Ricky gone I like Rudi J. and Cadillac but 4 seems too high for either. Any thoughts appreciated, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any thoughts would be appreciated ok ernesto is really Fn with the power here...so short and sweet and if you need to find me on AIM later I know you have my info I think you need to assign Ryans a good size contract and activate him...he is gonna be your LB2 no questions asked and actually he could approach brooking as LB1 for you also with what you have at RB and WR I think you need to find a way to give Mike Bell a contract too McMahon is very cutable(word?) if you are hoping to get something out of spragan well just dont seau may be productive but i wouldnt bank on it but anything is possible in NE and you know that team better then I, but if tedy cant go i would think its vrable that is the valueable one oop lights flickered take this for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown - unproven somewhat but a great situation now with Ricky gone I like Rudi J. and Cadillac but 4 seems too high for either. Any thoughts appreciated, thanks I think that if you pass on Portis then RUDI is the safest pick(least upside but far less risk) Rudi was #8 last yr in a PPR league I was in and knowing he doesnt catch the ball much at all that speaks volumes to what he does....I agree tiki has a tuff schedule and I think last yr was a career yr for him and his age also concerns me....I LOVE Ronnie Brown and he has HUGH upside but there is some risk considering he hasnt carried a full load yet....Caddy and his penchant to get dinged make me not consider him and I like SJax but not over Rudi Portis or Brown....if you want to role the dice on serious upside you still take portis and hope that his injury doesnt limit him...if you want a safe pick with top 5 ability and low side of top 10 then RUDI is the pick...you want to roll the dice on a younger upside guy then its Ronnie Brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I would think at DE, Carter has the potential to one of my more valuable players at that position. simply put save the dead years....carter is well past his prime and you could pick up a bunch of guys via waivers that will produce just like carter will if not even better and yeah i would cut buchanon but only if the dead year wont be a hinderance otherwise just park him and cut him after this yr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted September 1, 2006 Author Share Posted September 1, 2006 sorry guys I just cant do it right now....power keeps going out and everytime i have something typed up the PC shuts down...but look for me to do the "TAP THE KEG" on a regular basis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
