I am in serious need of another running back, I already have Tomlinson but nobody else. My receivers are Joe Horn which has been great 106.70 points and my other rec are
Reggie Wayne IND 87.40
Drew Bennett TEN 81.50
Antonio Bryant CLE 42.60
Eric Parker SDC 37.00
Kassim Osgood SDC 11.80

Parker may be in position to put up numbers in Sd due to injurys.

I have a trade proposal of:

The Bad Boys gives :
RB Domanick Davis HOU
RB Sammy Morris MIA

$LACKER$ gives :
WR Joe Horn NOS
PK Jason Hanson DET

Davis has 83.4 points but could bust loose at any time.
What would you do? Thanks J

I would pass. I have Davis, too, but if anything he looks like he's going to start sharing more carries with J. Wells. Houston tends to give up on the run after the first half and starts throwing the ball a lot more (since they are usually down).
So, you would be giving up your top WR for a back who may very well be sharing carries the rest of the year. I think you can get more for horn and/or wayne.

Who are your other Rbs?

What is the scoring system?

What are your starting lineup requirements?

Generally anytime you can give upa WR and a kicker for two RBs, though morris is not in a great situation, and Davis may be looking at losing a few carries, I would generally say go for it. Wayneand bennett are both #2 Wrs on their teams however, though have fared quite well so far.

Of course, without being able ot compare exactly how the trade affects your starting lineup, hard to say. if you must start 3 Wrs, I may be a bit wary of it, though WR is usually the easiest position to fill in the waiver wire, but if you only have to start 2, then I think this is a deal that must be considered.

What you say makes sense and I decided to turn down the trade. Thanks for the help. J

Don't make this trade.

What are you getting out of Morris really? Is he better than your 2nd back? Davis is such a huge question now, do not give up Joe Horn.

" though WR is usually the easiest position to fill in the waiver wire"

Actually, I find this to be a brutally difficult position to fill with any value. Mostly when you do fill you are just takin a complete shot. QBs are easy to fill, and it seems there are always a few emerging RBs hanging around due to leaguewide apathy.
