SpinalTapp Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Is he nuts or am I missing something here? Do I pull the trigger as quickly as I think I should or is Tiki hurt or losing key TDs to Jacobs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehype Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 He might be worried about Tiki losing TDs to Jacobs as Jacobs has been running pretty hard and looking pretty good whenever he gets an opportunity...but other than that, I'm not sure why he would want to trade him. I'd take the trade...but I think Portis will do fine this year as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoNads Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 He's probably worried because he bruised his forearm and B. Jacobs looks really good early in the season. I don't know, I probably would still want Barber over Portis (especially in a ppr league) because I'm skeptical that Portis' shoulder will hold up the full season. Wash has Duckett and Betts to take carries as well. Tiki did have x-rays on his arm that came back negative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinalTapp Posted September 22, 2006 Author Share Posted September 22, 2006 unfortunately, we do not count PPRs. other thoughts? would you deal Portis for Barber straight up? Is it a no-brainer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC_Ute Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 (edited) unfortunately, we do not count PPRs. other thoughts? would you deal Portis for Barber straight up? Is it a no-brainer? I had Tiki last year and he helped me win a championship. He'll get you some nice receiving yards that Porits won't and will likely break a few TD's in the passing game here and there. The Giants' offense will be much more productive than Washington's this year, IMO, and should give Tiki plenty of touches. From what I've seen from Washington this year, I'd make this move quickly before the dude changes his mind.

timberho27 Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 The guy is thinking that portis is 100% healthy, and will be heavilly used since the redskins have done squat w/o him being in the backfield full time. And, Tiki is going to lose all goal line touches. I would stick with Tiki myself, but I don't think the guy is that crazy, all depends on how you think things will work out for either back.

rai Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Tiki is greater than Portis (IMO) but they are both in the 4-6 spot so it's not like one is vastly better than the other, I'd make the trade b/c I don't like Wash offense much while i think NYG is top 5 offense.

Pope Flick Posted September 22, 2006 Share Posted September 22, 2006 Well, in a non-PPR league, you actually give the edge to Portis, as many pre-injury ranks had him ahead of Tikie this offseason. He wants to trade you Tiki for 2 reasons: Jacobs & Tiki just hurt his arm near the break from a few years ago. Jacobs will spell him more often this year and has looked very good. I'd not do the trade and hang onto Portis. More TD's, prolly close to the same yardage, but even if he's short his TD totals should make him the "player that scores the most points" from Week 3 forward.
