Default I\'ve been offered a trade already

My pertinant lineup is as follows:

Start 2 WR , 2 RB , 1 TE

Edge
Stephen Jackson
Carnell Williams

Marvin Harrison
Michael Clayton
Stokley

Alge
Watson

His lineup is as follows:

Corey Dillon
C. Brown
T. Jones
M. Moore

T.O.
R. Wayne
Chambers
Mason
Glenn

Gates
H. Miller


I have been offered TO and Gates for Caddilac, Clayton, and Crumpler.

My starting lineup would be:

Palmer
EJames
SJackson
Marvin
TO
Gates
Reed
Jets

vs. now:

Palmer
EJames
SJackson/Caddy
Marvin
Clayton
Alge
Reed
Jets

I get an awesome starting lineup, but sacrafice some depth at RB. My only other RB's are Willie Parker and Benson.

Still a pretty easy trade, right?

Scoring is somewhat complicated, and basically favors big games and long TD's. Mainly TD based scoring, but yardgage kicks in after either 50 or 100 yard games.

I personally say no, you will be glad when in week 8 you have dept at RB, they get hurt all the time and plus the Buy weeks. However very tough decision.

Should note that I dont think Gates will have nearly as good of a year as last year.

I like the trade. I think I would make it. Parker should be around for a week or two and if Thomas Jones looks as bad as he did Sunday Benson will be starting by week 3.

All you have to do now is find a defense on the waiver wire. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

What does Benson have to do with the trade?

Benson isn't on either team, and I would rather have L Johnson than Benson. Chicago has no pass offense, so its not hard to stop the run there.

Take the trade. This could make your team awesome. You do sacrifice some depth, but so what? You have Benson (and I agree he will be starting soon). If it is like most leagues, you don't get a prize for having a solid #3 or #4 team. Play to win the league and take the trade.

i think you make this trade. the caddy has high value now but if he tanks a few games you wont get anything for him. as is, stephen jackson should put up similar numbers.

gates and crumpler is a wash.

to is huuuuge upgrade at reciever.

the more i think about it this is a super easy trade. do it quick b4 this guy gets a clue.
