Ralph Furley Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Are you asking if you should trade Alexander for K. Jones? Seriously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrenaline Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Don't trade straight up, try to get either a high draft pick or another quality player with K.Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haskel Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 You can't be serious?....trade an RB who consistently puts up great numbers year in and year out for an RB who does have great potential but has yet to prove himself?....straight up? Please say NO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chires Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 No Way SA is a proven stud. K Jones has stud potential. Big differnece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puddy Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 (edited) Before discarding this trade as nonsense, I think we need a little more info. You mention a 2 player keeper league. Is there a limit on how many years you can keep the player? If so, is Alexander nearing the end of the contract? Are there salaries involved? If so, I'm assuming the K. Jones is only a fraction of Alexander's salary as he was a rookie last year. I think depending on the answers to the questions above, the trade may make sense.

Need more info buckeye dude, but if there's no limits, salaries, whatever, everyone above is right. This is nonsense you're talking. Welcome to the Huddle, or at least the message boards. If I can be presumptuous enough to make a recommendation, you might want to give the fantasy advice primer a read. Give folks your info up-front.

Guggs Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 S. Alexander is a proven stud RB, K. Jones is not yet. No way do you give up Alexander for Jones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the pick were higher and you were assured of getting one of those rookie RB's maybe, but otherwise no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Messiahs Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 One thing to note. Who has the easiest run defense schedule and KJ is in the top 3 for the upcoming season. So if he continues where he left off last year, he should pick up right where he left off. These are things I would base my decisions on. In FF I play to win, not play to have the better overall stud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneanddone Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 I have some different thoughts here, since this is only a 2 player keeper league, there will be alot of talent still on the board with your 8th pick. I am not saying that you should or shouldnt do the trade, but depending on the number of keepers vs. positions the other owners are keeping, then I would make the trade so long as you rec an extra pick in the first round......I just think the D offense will open up much more, even if Harrington somehow manages to keep his job....Alot of talent on that team not to at least consider as one of the most improved from last year??? Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
