OK, yet another trade offer post.
I'm in a tough situation in one of my leagues. Not a high dollar deal, but it's my old college roommates and others, so I have some pride on the line too.
I'm 4-2 and tied for 1st place. Fairly standard 10 yards per pt. rush/rec, 6 pts. for TD, etc.
My RB situation hasn't panned out like I had hoped. I have Kevin Jones, Carnell Williams, Kevan Barlow, and T.J. Duckett. I do have some depth at WR, with CJ, Reggie Wayne, Plax Burriss, Keenan McCardell, and Ashley Lelie.
The injuries at RB are hurting me a lot right now, clearly. I still have faith that Kevin Jones is going to come around, with Schleshinger coming back at FB, and a softer 2nd half schedule. Caddy is making me nervous though - I'm not confident right now that he's going to get back to 100% health, and having Pittman around also hurts his value.
And of course in the end, there aren't many teams with RB depth, so my trade options are limited.
So, what about this. One owner who needs a WR offered me Thomas Jones (and Drew Bennett as a throw in, even though he's out for 4-6 weeks), for Plax and Caddy.
At first glance I thought hell no. But the more I think about it, I'm starting to wonder if it's worth the gamble to pick up a RB who at least is a solid starter so far this year, on a team with a good defense who will remain in the division race.
Thoughts?
