tallguylehigh Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) Ok, I am in a 12-team, non-PPR, standard scoring league and the following trade was proposed to me: I get: Joe Flacco Ricky Williams Derrick Mason He gets: Matt Ryan Frank Gore Jabar Gaffney Thoughts: Despite his terrible performance on MNF, I am still big on Flacco this year- with the weapons he has he could put up huge numbers and I think he would be a decent upgrade at QB. However, I think this trade borders on insulting. Throw out the Mason/Gaffney portion because very little is even exchanged there, so now we are looking at Ryan/Gore for Flacco/Williams. The way I see it, the minor upgrade at QB from Flacco to Ryan does not outweigh the hit in RB production going from Gore to Williams. I am curious to hear your thoughts on this, I might counter with Ryan/Best/Gaffney for Flacco/Holmes or Ward (I think I am solid enough at WR to wait for Holmes to come back) His team is below QB- D. Brees W/T- M. Colston, Jacoby Jones, V. Shiancoe, RB- J. Addai, R. Williams BN- H. Ward, J. Flacco, D. Mason, S. Holmes, K.

HornyBuffalo Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 You upgrade at WR, but QB is kind of a wash...I'm assuming you meant Frank Gore as opposed to Ryan Gore? If that is the case, I wouldn't make the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moopyjiggles Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 if you are trading frank gore in that deal you are an effin idiot. DO NOT trade Frank Gore for those bunch of stiffs. Not saying not to deal him but Gore is top 5 overall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tallguylehigh Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 I kind of figured as much. What do you think about my proposed counter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lhamp Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I kind of figured as much. What do you think about my proposed counter? I'm not sure why you're so locked in on Flacco. Don't get me wrong, I like him... but the difference between he and Ryan are not that great. Aim higher! You've got a pretty good team... The fact that you have gore, foster and best makes best expendable... try to do a deal where you package him. Or, you could use one of those other guys for some sick upgrading. Good luck.
