Trade for Randy Moss?

Clarkmeister · #1 10-20-2005, 12:12 AM

This is the $1500 league with the $20 transactions and the $40/person trade fees I've asked for advice on before.

Status: First place in my division at 5-1. Two others at 3-3. My team is deep and consistant and is near the top of the league in total points. I lead the league in the "what if every team played everyone else every week" category by about 6 games. 12 team league.

10pts/rush/rec yard, 1pt/reception, 3pts bonus for 100yd rush/rec game, 2pts for 150 yard rush/rec game, 6pts for TD.

Starters:
QB - Hasselbeck
RB - McGahee
Flex - Westbrook
WR - Driver
WR - Branch
TE - Gates

Bench
QB - Harrington
RB - Thomas Jones
RB - Cedric Bensen
RB - Mike Anderson
RB - DeShaun Foster
WR - Travis Taylor
WR - Laveraneus Coles

The offer:

Randy Moss for Thomas Jones and Donald Driver.

No Brainer? Or sacrificing all my depth for a big-time question mark who's hurt and on a team that is quitting. Jones is the #4 RB in the league and is clearly the man in Chicago right now with a soft schedule ahead.

FYI- Harrington may have only 1 start left in him this season.

I wouldn't do it.

He's got Vick, Favre and Brunell, so I can likely get him to throw in a QB if I desire FWIW.

I may do it just to keep him from dumping Moss to a top competitor of yours. I'd also try to get him to toss in a QB.

I meant the Raiders. Sorry for being unclear.

This team is not quitting. He's in my division, 3-3 and really really needs a RB, this week especially with Dillon, and Taylor on byes. With him forced to start Droughns in a game he needs to get above .500, and with Moss hurt, this is likely the most receptive he'll be to trading Moss this year.

Well, that changes things a little.

Jones is still dinged up, and even if he never misses a game, they may start to limit his exposure since they have two other serviceable backs.

I just acquired Moss (before last week) in a league (predominantly for Tiki). Last year, the week after I acquired Moss, he got injured. I refuse to believe it will happen again. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Go ahead, pull the trigger.

Also, if you get the chance, could you take a peak at my (soon to exist) basketball thread?

I love fantasy basketball. Will do. Anticipate a "go to www.basketballmonster.com " response somewhere.

Never mind then. I just basically asked "is there a www.footballguys.com , but for basketball?"

You already answered it!

Well, there are no forums, but it's a mathematical model that rules. I built one myself very similar prior to knowing about it, and while there are differences in my model compared to theirs (I think BM overrates guards a little and underrates big men a little), it's similar enough that I just use it out of convenience. It really really allows you to exploit those who don't use it.
