SpinalTapp Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 (edited) I give C.Benson and Plax Burress I get R.Moss + Selvin Young Selvin Young (while no more than a lottery ticket right now) is a four year keeper player. All others in this deal are redrafted next season. My team today: QB: Brady RB1: LT RB2: Peterson WR: TO WR: Plax FLEX: KJones or Benson TE: Gates K: Folk DST: Pats Bench: Chris Brown, Mike Bell, Mike Turner, Calvin Johnson, James Jones, Vernon Davis Randy Moss is an upgrade over Plax and he eliminates the injury risk I face with Plax' ankle. I give up Benson for this slight upgrade but gain the upside of Selvin if Henry is suspended. If Selvin gets the job and keeps it, I have struck gold, as I can keep him for the next four years. Your thoughts? I am paying too steep a price to acquire Moss? Is the incremental improvement at WR not worth the downgrade in RB depth? I am concerned most about this issue. Thanks.

Penguinsfan Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I'd do it. Sounds like KJ is well on his way back to a clean bill of health and he could end up outperforming Benson anyway. Young is a risk, but I don't think the NFL messes up too many drug tests. Henry might be able to drag this thing out a little bit, but I think Young will get a chance as the #1 in Denver sooner than later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union Jack Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Spinal, Getting Moss is a nice upgrade, especially with Brady. Moss was quiet this week but he had some quiet weeks in Minny during his rookie year when he gathered 16 tuddy's. Benson has been frustrating me and I think your still solid at RB with LT & Pete. However, Benson carried for 27 times Sun. night and it may be a matter of time before he cranks it up. He looked, at time, real strong but then went back to falling over on first hit. If it were me, depending on who you have for a flex, I would stand pat. If you have another average flex guy I may pull the trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruins4 Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I think I'd actually do this deal considering you can keep Young. Three things you need to consider, though: 1. How long Travis Henry manages to push back the start of his suspension 2. Denver Center Tom Nalen is out for the season with a torn bicep 3. Any running back associated with Mike Shenanihan terrifies me Until Selvin Young starts to play you're frighteningly thin in your Flex spot, although Calvin Johnson is back and might get you some good production.

SpinalTapp Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 I am hearing reports that it may take five weeks before Henry's case makes its way through the entire appeal process. I am not sure I want to wait that long for Selvin Young and rely on two injured Lions as my flex players - KJ and CJohnson. Other thoughts?

wildbluefan Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Any way you can get rid of Benson and get anything better than a kicker for him, you should accept this trade ! Benson will NOT be the starter for much longer in Chi-Town !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
