SpinalTapp Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I give M.Austin, Nicks, and R.Bush I get P.Thomas + J.Forsett My skill players QB Brady RB Turner RB2 CJohnson WR1 RWayne WR2 R.Moss FLEX M.Austin or Sims Walker Bench - Maroney, R.Bush, H.Nicks, E.Royal I am nervous that Maroney and Bush are (1) not sufficient back up RBs for my team and looking to upgrade in case of a injury to Johnson or the Burner and (2) looking to upgrade my flex spot with PThomas. The owner I am dealing with has DeJackson and TJHoush as his top WRs. He is looking for an upgrade over Housh. His RBs are MJD, Mendenhall, P.Thomas, and M.Bell. I believe Austin is an upgrade from Housh today and I throw in NIcks as a sweetner. Bush gives him another RB option in case his starters get hurt. Two questions - 1. Would you make this deal if you were the other owner? Does this deal upgrade his team? Keep in mind Housh is NOT a keeper...all my guys are. 2. Does this deal strengthen my team or would you stay put if you were me? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain77 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 i would stick with what you have. pierre thomas is an upgrade to your bu rb's but you lose a good weapon in miles austin. what is your scoring system? please see mine: http://forums.thehuddle.com/index.php?showtopic=306457 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ark Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Although it looks like you are giving up way too much, you are getting an upgrade at Flex. Try giving Austin & Bush for PT. If not go with your original idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalton7777 Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 P thomas is a better flex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinalTapp Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 (edited) Just talked to the other owner...he has zero interest in Bush. However, it appears he will be willing to give me P.Thomas + Housh for M.Austin and H.Nicks So...the million dollar question that some have already weighed in on is.... Is P.THomas a better flex player than M.Austin? One thing I like about PThomas is that he may not only be a better flex option than Austin, he is also an outstanding backup RB in case Turner or CJohnson get hurt. I would still have Sims Walker and Housh as backup WRs for Moss and Wayne. FYI...Thomas and Austin are both keeper players.

Scorcher Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 Pt would be a good flex and keep in mind that as the weather gets colder Rb's are better at flex than WR's. Have you looked at the schedules during the FFB playoff weeks?We already know that Moss is Gold in the snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this deal strengthen my team or would you stay put if you were me? Thanks I think it's pretty fair for both sides. He gets depth and an immediate upgrade over Housh, while you get one stud and a potential Flex guy in Forsett. I love Miles Austin, so when I say pull the trigger, I'm saying it with clenched teeth. However, if you have Mike Sims-Walker on yout bench, this works out perfectly. Thomas as a Flex has got to be an awesome thought in your mind. If the other guy goes for it, feel good about making a fair trade that benefits both sides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinalTapp Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 Others? PT is ranked the 13th best RB by theHuddle. But as far as I can tell, he is stuck in an RBBC with Bell and Bush. Is he truly better than MBIII, Jacobs, Mendenhall, and Forte this year....even in this committee?? Obviously, I am a little nervous that I will deal PT for Austin and be upset that Austin is a much better flex play each week. Your analysis is appreciated.

Montana is da Man Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I would do this trade if I were you. I don't think Austin can keep up this type of production.
