kgreezy Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Hey I have the following offer on the table: IN Chris Johnson Santonio Holmes OUT Jason Witten Johnson would be my number 2 bac behind Addai and would start every week and Holmes would be my number 2 WR. Team: QB: Big Ben RB: Addai, Thomas Jones WR: Welker, Meachem, Gage. Chris Henry, Anthony Gonzalez TE: Witten K: Bironas Def: Bears Thanks for any help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalEmpire.com Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 You could drop Chris Henry from your roster in this trade, so I like the trade given the talent you'll get and the deiciencies you have. The question is who would you pick up at TE and who would you drop in THAT exchange to do it? Gonzalez? Gage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgreezy Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 I would pick up greg olsen as my TE and I would actually drop Ted Ginn Jr, as he is still on my roster. The team would look like this: QB: Big Ben RB: Addai, Chris Johnson WR: Holmes, Welker, Gage, Meachem, Gonzalez and Chris Henry TE: Olsen K: Bironas DEF: Bears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dino88 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 do it, your getting two players you need and only losing at the te position. both johnson and holmes will outperform any te Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardinalEmpire.com Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Yep, do it. And worst case you trade Thomas Jones for a major upgrade at TE. The difference between the top TE last year (Witten) and the #6 guy was only a couple points per game. Who knows, maybe Olsen is one of those top 6 this year.

kgreezy Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 Well I pulled the trigger on the Witten deal and then I was able to trade Thomas Jones and Ted Ginn Jr. (who has been a major bust) for Chris Cooley who went on to get me 16 fantasy points with his 109yds and 1 TD..... Thanks for the advice guys....got me a win this week... QB: Big Ben RB: Addai, Chris Johnson, LeRon McClain WR: Santonio Holmes, Wes Welker, Robert Meachem, Justin Gage, Anthony Gonzalez TE: Chris Cooley DEF:Bears Now I just need to package to WR's for a stud....lets see what I can pull off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samson Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Assuming you don't have a crazy scoring system, that sounds like a decent deal for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCDOG Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Just to play devil's advocate here, I wouldn't necessarily gloss over Witten as just a TE. In a TE mandatory league, he is extremely valuable on a relative value basis. YTD, he has scored enough points to be the #9 WIDE RECEIVER in the league. On average, I would say he gets you approx. 5 more points than mostly all other tight ends on any given week. Yes a RB (especially of Chris Johnson's caliber) is more valuable than a TE, but you must also factor in relative value. With Witten, you essentially get to start another WR to your opponent's tight end. That said, it would be hard not to take Chris Johnson for Witten, especially given your lack of depth at RB (and the fact that TJ stinks (I have him too)).
