fathazam Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 (edited) 12 team league, 6 pts for TD, 1 pt per 20 yards, no PPR, no dynasty or keeper He wants to give me LT for Peterson straight up. Currently i'm tied for first in the league and hes 8th in a 12 man league. My RB's as of now: A. Peterson Lynch Edge LJ I can do 3 each week with the flex. He tossed out the idea yesterday and I thought it would be a great idea, but now that AD went off today i'm starting to wonder if I should even do this. He has no other guys on his team that I would consider trading for. I feel like I'd gain some consistency with LT, as i'm still stinging from AP's 70 yard outing last week. I'm clueless on this one. Maybe i'm just enamored by the though of starting LJ, LT, and Edge/Lynch. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all. I'll reply to yours if you reply to mine.

LilMikey Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 i got LT and although he's good, he aint what he was the last 2 years! stick with AP!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTSuper7 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I agree that AP is more feast or famine than LT, but I wouldn't make this trade right now. AP has solidified himself as the #1 RB in Minnesota. All things being equal, I like AP's schedule more than LT's down the stretch as well. If he really wants AP that badly, maybe he can sweeten the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle2003 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 If you are set for the playoffs, I may make this trade. LT plays DET and DEN at home in weeks 15 and 16. I have LT and was considering a trade for AP, but for that very reason, I am keeping him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holdmerekop Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 FWIW, I'm not sure I'd consider the Lions' run D an easy matchup these days. It is a tough call --- I would take into consideration the "rookie wall" and how rookie RB's usually slow down/get injured the second half of the season. I would probably do this.

ajb6 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 (edited) I just made this trade last week and was catchign heat for making an inside trade. I told all the complaining memebers the trade i had made was fair both ways....the other player got AP, fargas, cotchery,deangello williams....now im sitting here with a sad face as i gave up WAY to much.......Ap for Lt is straight and i think Lt can only get better from here on out. Eventaully SD will realize when they dont run the man 20+ times they have little chance of winning. Needless to say yesterday was a long day and this week will be even longer as i continue to get posts via message board at what a moron i am fro trading AP.

fathazam Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 (edited) My thought was that he would hit the rookie wall as well. While i don't want to change a whole lot as i'm in first, I don't feel I shouldn't make a beneficial move just because of that. I'm still debating it really, I wish there was a definite yes or no on this one. Thanks for the continued advice all. Also, in our league the playoffs is one week , week 17. Its only a small pot for that. The big money goes to the regular season winner with the best record. I'm more interested in that then the playoff week win.

CarbonThief Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Not sure if this helps you, but Minnesota is shopping for QB's right now. The box will start to get stacked with no QB at the helm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathazam Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 I'm not even sure if that means anything at this point, from what i've heard so far the box has been being stacked against Minny with T. Jackson at the helm. I'm into selling high, but I don't want to sell a stud in the making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creep Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 PETERSON playoff wk 14,15,16 @ San Fran, Chi, Was LT @Tenn, Det Den it's pretty much a wash BUT we know that San Diego might not even make the playoffs this year, unlike the past few years where they were locked into the playoffs and rested LT and don't forget TURNER (can't remember is he injured??) if it were me i would just stick with what you got, your in 1st place WHY mess with it, if it ain't broken??????

creep Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 ----------------LT will also catch more passes and we know AP won't have another game like that, i hope he don't atleast when he goes against me. HECK WITH ALL THOSE RB'S try improving your WR's or QB......... He wants to give me LT for Peterson straight up. Currently i'm tied for first in the league and hes 8th in a 12 man league. My RB's as of now: A. Peterson Lynch Edge LJ I can do 3 each week with the flex. He tossed out the idea yesterday and I thought it would be a great idea, but now that AD went off today i'm starting to wonder if I should even do this.

Pkillebr Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 I'd keep AP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathazam Posted November 5, 2007 Author Share Posted November 5, 2007 (edited) My league is a bunch of old guys who for the most part will not trade no matter what the offer and don't even respond to trades, there is 3 of us who do trades maybe. None of them have a QB I would desire, the only QB's I would trade for are named Brady, Peyton, and Romo. Otherwise I'm fine with big ben. As far as wide receivers go i'm pretty good in that area too as I only play 1 WR a week when I'm playing 3 RB's a week. (I also play A. Gates every week as well). I'm leaning towards keeping AP right now as it seems like the smart move albeit a higher variance move. I think it's just the name LT that is making me question myself. Plus in our league before this weekend, AP had 6 more points than LT. After this pass weekend you can do the math. Standing Pat. I'm going to start trying to talk him into LJ and 1 other guy on my team for LT. That would be a stunner if I can pull that off.
