EspyAward Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) So I play in a PPR league awarding 1 pt for receptions. I was just offered a trade proposal of Marion Barber for Ray Rice. Do I make the deal? Another item of note: I also have Jones-Drew and Derrick Mason who all have week 7 byes.

Hugh 0ne Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) I wouldn't. I don't think the receptions will make up the overall scoring difference enough to make that trade. ETA: Don't let bye weeks influence trade value, you're setting yourself up for failure. Edited September 8, 2009 by Hugh 0ne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ETA: Don't let bye weeks influence trade value, you're setting yourself up for failure. Agree... I don't even look at byes. By the time week 4 comes around, things change so much it's not worth it. If I could, I'd tanbk one week and have all my byes fall on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh 0ne Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) seriously? . Well, technically I posted before I read this: http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?show...p;#entry2926364 Ray Rice is a pretty huge question mark. He'll be giving touches to McLain and McGahee, and as a rookie you never know what to expect. If he has problems picking up blocking assignments, blitzes, etc, it could cut into his already shared work load. I think he's a risk, I wouldn't take him over Barber, even in a PPR league. Keeper/dynasty might sway me over the edge, but not for just one year, not even in PPR. Edited September 8, 2009 by Hugh 0ne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LayLow Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 If you get Barber, yes, do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EspyAward Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Done deal. I made the trade. Tough decision, but I pulled the trigger. I still dont agree with The Huddle ranking Barber in the Second Tier of RB's. Rice is close to 4th Tier. What am I missing? For many reasons already mentioned I see Rice getting a larger % of touches. I expect Rice to have a big game Wk 1 against the KC defense. I will try not to use it as a gauge to the success of my trade! Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
