SpinalTapp Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 My starting lineup today QB Brady RB1 CJ2K RB2 RunDMC WR1 RWayne WR2 J.Knox or MWallace Flex JCharles TE DClark Bench RBs RTorain, JRinger WRs TO, Demaryius Thomas, VJax QB JCutler I give j.Cutler + j.Charles+ TO I get M.Austin + R.Bush+ mcNabb I would be upgrading at WR2 but losing RB depth and JCs upside. I could just hold what I got and hope that Knox, Wallace, or Thomas emerges a solid WR2. Im also worried that RunDMC could lose his job. What would you do???

L-Burna Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 I would keep what you got man, giving up Cutler could put a hurtin on you and Bush and McNabb are terrible to have. The only thing good about the trade is Miles Austin. I know Thomas is hurt right now, but being honest with you he will come through later on. VJax isn't doing you any good and is actually wasting space on your roster. He will probably sit this whole season and not even play at all. I like your thought process though on Knox and Thomas. Hold on to them man you would be giving up too much for Miles Austin I think, plus the Pats have a bye week coming so if you do trade atleast wait until that is over.

Butkus Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 (edited) Interesting one at a lot of fronts. RB: To me this deal boils down to how many chits do you want to put on McFadden. If he stays healthy and you guess right on the WW for security and byes, your team scores more points this year. Can you wait for Reggie and how long will he take to get back. If KC could ever feed JC, my word he'd be huge. I'd almost rather waiton JC's inevitable upside to Run DMC's inevitible hammy pull, but it's gotta kill you when Thomas Jones gets all those carries... QB: Assuming you start one QB, you don't need Cutler. But you may be selling low. If he keeps this up for 2 or 3 more games, you'll be able to pull a nice WR1 straight up in a mid season trade with a guy 2-5 dying because he drafted Kolb (or Favre). WR: I think Miles Austin is a yardage machine this year. Average WR1 TDs but big yards each week, and thus a difference maker. I also think TO is on a sharp edge - either he has a strong possession type game soon and finds a role in CIN or he's obviously falling off the fantasy cliff. All in all a gut deal to me. Shake it up or dont and live with it. Edited October 3, 2010 by Butkus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shake it up or dont and live with it. The above pretty well sums up my thoughts on this deal as well. If you think KCC will continue to not properly use Charles all year, the deal makes sense ... if you think the light bulb will go on in KCC soon as regards getting Charles 18+ touches per game, then likely better to stand pat. Personally, I don't see TO making a real fantasy difference in more than a couple of games this year but at the same time, I'd not want to have all my RB2 eggs in the McFadden basket. Calling this a "go with your gut feeling" trade seems pretty accurate. Edited October 3, 2010 by ts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I can afford to wait and see what happens with these players. Of course, I am hoping Torain emerges, JC gets the rock more, Cutler does turn into Cutler, and RunDMC does not turn back into RunDMC. Here's hoping.

SpinalTapp Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 (edited) Deal has changed to I give cutler and RunDMC I get MAustin Would u take this? It would leave me with CJ, JC, and Torain at RB with Wayne and Austin at WR Thanks Edited October 5, 2010 by SpinalTapp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamTheMan Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Now I would go for it. Sounds a lot better... McFadden is out for god knows how long. Could be one week, could be 5. If they are up for it do it for sure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ball Basher Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 As much as I love Austin...stick with what you have. Bush and McNabb are simply names today with no real Fantasy impact anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpinalTapp Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 Ball Basher Just to be clear...the deal dynamics have changed as follows: I give Cutler and McFadden (not JC) I get M.Austin That's it...no other players involved in the deal. thoughts?

mariguas Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I do it too. Austin is probably the best wr in the nfl and you dont have to give JC and your rb depth. Please see mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
