Shorttynaz Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 Ok.. I'm in a 10 team PPR league.. 1 pt - reception/10yrds rush-rec/2 pt bonus for 100 yrd game rush-rec/6pt TD. We can start a variety of different positions. HAVE to start 2 RB's and 3 WR's. There are however 2 Flex spots.. RB/WR, and WR/TE so I can start 5 WRs each week.. Take a look at what I did My team WAS as follows.. QB - Warner; Mcnair RB - Barber; K Jones; D Foster; W Lundy; B Jacobs; J Harrison; L Maroney WR - L Fitzgerald; R Moss; D Mason; A Johnson; G Jennings TE - LJ Smith K - Vinatieri DEF - New England The dude I just made a deal with had V Morrency; D Davis; D Williams and M Anderson; and J Norwood as his RB's. I ALREADY completed a trade with him.. I gave him D Foster, W Lundy; and Patriots defense FOR I received P Burress; Chicago's D, and J Norwood So that puts me with a huge risk of hoping Barber and K Jones can hold down the fort until some of those other guys (hopefully) get a shot but I got 5 STUD receivers!!! There are a few people in my league telling me that they CANNOT wait to play me and they hope for my sake that the Bears D can carry me through the season? Am I missing something here? I mean Foster was useless to me without Williams (who is owned by the guy I traded him to) and Lundy (who would have sat my bench anyway - so I traded him to the guy who had his backup), as well. I got another solid WR who I will start every week and a top rated D in return. Did I do the right thing??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonorator Posted September 6, 2006 Share Posted September 6, 2006 interesting strategy ... make the trade, and then ask for advice. i wouldn't follow this sequence throughout the year if i were you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grits and Shins Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 If you gave players that score fewer points to get players that score more points then I'd say you made the right move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziachild007 Posted September 7, 2006 Share Posted September 7, 2006 Why would you basically give up 2 possible starting RBs and decent defense for a WR2, a good D, and a backup RB? Only time will tell, but for now, I would say you got the short endof the stick in this deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time will tell, but for now, I would say you got the short endof the stick in this deal. But that's just it. 2 POSSIBLE starting RBs. I hated to come off of Foster, but he's historically not a full season RB. Now with Williams there, his value goes down even that much more. And Lundy. I got him off the waiver wire. So for my 6th round pick in Foster, my last pick (15th) in Atlanta's D, and a waiver wire pickup in Lundy, for a 4th round pick, and a top 3 defense. Lundy was going to sit the bench anyway. I dont know. I was very iffy about doing it at first, but being able to start 5 of the arguably top 15 WR's, in a Receiver dominated points system, I am starting to like it. I dont know. Only time will tell I guess. I dont feel like I got that bad of a deal. I gave up depth, for more points out of my starters. If healthy, I feel that I have a pretty lethal lineup. Oh well. I asked for thoughts and got it! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
