CoolHand Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Have been offered a trade that my first impression was to reject but I am considering for a couple of reasons. Here are the details of league are: 12 team Keeper League (keep 8 players – QB / 2 RBs / 3 WR/TE / Def / K) Performance Scoring 6pts rushing/rec TD / 4 pts passing TD / .067 pt per passing yd / .20 pt per rushing/rec yd My Keepers – Hasselbeck / D. Davis / J. Jones / T. Owens / H. Ward / B. Lloyd / Buff D / J. Wilkins I have the 4th pick in every round. I have been offered D. Jackson and his 1.07 pick for TO. I have never been a big TO fan and I just think he has worn out his welcome in Philly. I could probably be wrong, but I just don’t think he will repeat last year’s production. According to my VBD rankings TO is the #2 WR with 220 projected points. DJ is the #9 WR with 178 projected points. With my #4 pick I will be able to get S. Jackson , T. Bell, or A. Green. At #7, I could still probably get another good RB like M. Bennett, Arrington, or Jordan. Then use my 2.04 pick on a WR. This would give me 4 top 20 RBs and probably 3 top 30 WRs Or I could go with a WR like D. Bennett, Coles. S. Smith or J. Smith at the 1.07, and I would end up with 3 top 20 RBs and 3 top 20 WRs. with pick 2.04 still to come Would you make this trade?

Butkus Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 (edited) I would NOT make this trade. Love him or hate hime, T.O. is a bonafied stud (between the lines) and it would be hard to argue that he is not a big difference maker on a fantasy team. You can only start 2 RB's and must start 3WR/Tes, so TO has more value to you as an everyday starter than does a less valuable WR and a #3 and #4 RB. Indeed, you will be able to pick up that solid #3RB anyway, so you are covered there and will still have TO on your team. Here's a look at your potential starting line-ups (w/ first sub) and you tell me which team you'd rather face: Hass DDavis JJones (S Jackson, TBell, AGreen - 1.4 pick) TO Ward Lloyd (or decent #3 WR you get in round 2 or 3) etc or Hass DDavis JJones (S Jackson, TBell, AGreen - 1.4 pick) DJackson HWard Lloyd (or S. Smith, Coles etc.) I'd sure rather play against team 2 Edited July 26, 2005 by Butkus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alamak Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Even though T.O has gotten off to a bad start with PHI this year with the hold-out deal he'll be very welcomed once the season starts. He's the only go-to-guy in PHI & when you consider he missed two starts last year it's not a stretch to predict even bigger numbers from him this year. Now with that said nobody is untradable but it all depends on your team needs. With the Davis/J.Jones combo you should be set at RB with the addition of a backup & like Butkus stated you can only start two anyway. I like S. Jackson a lot but I couldn't recommend downgrading a starting receiver to gain backup depth. However if you're not real high on T.O I'd suggest announcing to your league that he would be available for the right price & you may very well receive a better offer.
