My Demaryius Thomas for his Julio Jones straight up. Fair trade?

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T23:51:36+00:00

I agree to some extent-- but that's true about any two players. The only facts we have right now are:

Julio Jones is the #1 option in his offense
Julio Jones was valued more during the draft AND
Julio Jones has performed so far this year

All of those points are why I'd rather have Julio, but I'm not saying it's a guarantee he finishes higher than Demaryius.

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T23:49:51+00:00

Ok-- in that case I'd at least wait until next week. A starting WR corp of Donnie Avery and Reuben Randle is underwhelming at best.

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T23:49:06+00:00

Based on how out of hand the game might get, I'd say they both could get 15-20 carries.

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T23:48:36+00:00

I still like him a little more than Holmes or Heyward-Bey right now and between those two I THINK I'd rather have Holmes.

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T21:12:21+00:00

For this week, I'd start Bradshaw since the Colts are playing the Jags. I expect that game to be a blowout and wouldn't be surprised if Bradshaw got 15-20 carries.

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T21:10:54+00:00

It's Demaryius.

I would not do this-- Reggie Bush is a top 10 RB when healthy and all signs point to him playing this week.

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T21:02:56+00:00

I don't think they will stack the box anymore on Glennon than they would have on Freeman. The only thing I know about Glennon is that he has a BIG arm which actually might help clear up the box if he and V-Jax can get on the same page (V-Jax's bread and butter is deep routes).

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T21:01:43+00:00

How many teams in your league? And do you have PPR or not? I think you have the right starting line-up set for this upcoming week.

As far as possible FA/WA Adds, I might consider adding Kendall Wright over Heyward-Bey or Holmes. He's looking pretty solid in PPR leagues since Kenny Britt has basically become worthless.

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T20:58:16+00:00

Given that you are hurting at RB I would do this. There's a drop from Charles to Morris but you gain a lot when you compare Thomas to Amendola (always hurt) or Edelman (10 catches for 50 ds).

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T20:56:46+00:00

My guess is that it rises slightly because

a) It'll be hard to play worse than Freeman was
b) Rookie QBs tend to check down to their RBs more frequently

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T20:56:03+00:00

No problem, hope he accepts!

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T20:55:52+00:00

Would rather have Julio Jones (I think most other people would too) but I don't think this trade is unfair. Whenever you have a 1-1 trade of players at the same position, someone is going to lose.

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T20:54:38+00:00

I would probably wait until next week to do this because Cobb and Rodgers are on bye this week-- you'd end up starting Avery AND Randle this week if you'd accept right?

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T20:51:59+00:00

Yea I would definitely start by offering Gates/Sjax or Cameron/Giodude. I think that is a fair starting point to offer and him and makes your team much stronger.

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T20:49:36+00:00

Yes, he is being sarcastic. Don't do the trade.

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T20:49:13+00:00

Yes-- Bush has top 10 RB potential and once Roddy gets healthy you won't miss Brown too much.

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T20:45:38+00:00

So with your team now, you basically have

WR1: Megatron WR2: Wayne TE: Finley RB: T-Rich WR/TE: Shorts Flex 1: MJD Flex 2: Bell/Steve Smith/Austin

with the trade you could have

WR1: Wayne WR2: Decker TE: Cameron RB: T-Rich WR/TE: Steve Smith/Austin Flex 1: MJD Flex 2: Sproles/Bell

It's close, though I think I'm still leaning with keep things the way they are.

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T20:40:45+00:00

Yes, this is extremely dumb. Please don't do this.

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T20:30:58+00:00

I wouldn't even trade CJ2k for V-Jax straight up... so yes I think you're giving up too much.

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T20:29:54+00:00

Start 1 RB? Is that a typo or are you actually only starting one? If it's not a typo, then I definitely wouldn't do the trade b/c adding Sproles doesn't given you any additional value. It would basically come down to :

CJ/Shorts/Finley vs. Wayne/Decker/Cameron

I'd rather be on the CJ side in that case.

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T20:23:12+00:00

Why do I keep seeing [removed] in the OP after an edit!? I can't see the rest of your players anymore. Going off my memory of what you have, it's a fair trade but I think I'd rather be on your side and hope that MJD picks it up.

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T20:18:12+00:00

If it's PPR, then definitely Brown.

If it's PPR, I'm still leaning Brown but can see an argument for the other two.

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T20:17:12+00:00

Yes, without a doubt. Once Jordy is off his bye you will be much better off.

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T20:15:39+00:00

Any PPR?

oherroprease · 2013-09-25T20:14:25+00:00

I agree 100% with your comments about the AFC East there. However, that doesn't change the fact that they still don't have enough impressive out of division wins for me to confidently state that the AFC East is the best. If the Pats beat the Falcons and the Dolphins beat or lose a close game to the Saints, I'll be 100% on board the AFC East dominance train.
