***The OFFICIAL season long FF TRADE Thread***
 

I wonder if this can work for the season.

As long as FF 'experts' 'wanna be experts' (yeah, I just said 'wanna be') check this thread when there are new posts, we should be able to maintain this thread throughout the year. It may also grow to be one of the longest ever.



General guidelines for the FF TRADE thread:

Rules:
1. List general scoring. This means, pt/passing TD We know the rest generally.
2. List any very odd rules. Example: 2 starting QBs.
3. List all of your players.
4. List all of your opponents players.
3. Bold the players you would be trading
4. Make the possible players you'll get <font color="red">red </font>
5. Try to give some reasoning for the trade. (It may just help you evaluate it more yourself)

This way, eveyone can look easily and see, who you're giving, and who you're getting. So, if you're trading
Manning and Tomlinson and want to get <font color="red"> Matt Stover and the Bengals D</font> we don't have to tread through all of the garbage and we can proceed to berate you.

This really shouldn't be too hard, and if you can't do the work to bold and red, then you probably don't deserve the help.

Bump because a) let's consolidate this [censored] b) I've been offered a trade.

Scoring weirdness: Pass TDs = 5, -2 for INT... 3 bonus points for 300/100 yards passing/rushing, 2 bonus for 10 carries, 10 completions, 5 receptions

Starters are normal + one flex.

My Team:
QB - Steve McNair
QB - Brian Griese
QB - Eli Manning
RB - Willis McGahee
RB - Priest Holmes
RB - Brian Westbrook
RB - Larry Johnson
RB - Cedric Benson
WR - Roy Williams
WR - Michael Clayton
WR - Laveranues Coles
WR - Jimmy Smith
WR - Braylon Edwards
K - Matt Stover

His Team:
QB - <font color="red">Peyton Manning </font>
QB - Donovan McNabb
RB - Michael Bennett
RB - Derrick Blaylock
RB - Maurice Clarett
RB - Kevin Faulk
RB - Justin Fargas
RB - Lee Suggs
WR - Nate Burleson
WR - Keyshawn Johnson
WR - Steve Smith
WR - Reggie Wayne
TE - Alge Crumpler
PK - Shayne Graham

Okay, basically the question is "do I have enough at running back to survive the loss of McGahee?" I can start the Holmes-LJ tandem, though I'm not necessarily high on that option, and if Benson takes the realm at Chicago I might be okay. But really, even if he does, I'm skeptical of how effective he can be with Orton back there. Not to mention that if McNabb is hurt, I think that tends to hurt Westbrook's value as well. I guess I lean towards no deal, but I'd like to hear some opinions. Thanks,

SoulDaddy,

This really isn't even close, IMO. You need a QB very badly and have extra RBs. You're getting the best QB in the league. I would start Priest and Westbrook though, not Priest and LJ. Accept the trade.

If it were a 2 RB league, I'd agree 100%. I think the flex position, and the overwhelming advantage of starting 3 good RBs is what makes it close. Does that change your opinion even slightly?

Oh, damn...I need to read more carefully. This is a lot more interesting then. I'd still do it, just because I love Peyton and the consistency he brings of never having to worry about your QB position for the whole season. I'd make the trade and start Priest, Westbrook and either LJ or Benson.
