Addai or Stewart?

Postby Renshaw » Tue Jul 28, 2009 12:20 am

Are either a good option at RB in a Dynasty League? I'm trying to solidify my roster going into this upcoming season of a dynasty league, and could use a 3rd RB to do so.

I have the 10th overall pick in the re-draft/rookie draft, and could always hope a potential stud RB rookie drops to me (probably looking at Wells or Moreno at this point to add to their counterparts), or trade it away for a RB. These were the two deals thrown out to me.

Deal #1: I get Addai for my 10th overall pick.
Deal #2: I get Stewart and his 3rd round pick for my 10th overall and V Jackson

The main thing about this league is that we can only add one player every three weeks from FA. So I pretty much want to get a decent to good squad set up before the season. Our redraft is about 5 rounds before the season starts, and I have at least 4 or 5 guys that I could drop and replace.

To go along with rookies, other available players in the pool are: Fred Jackson, Domenik Hixon, Visanthe Shiancoe, Mark Clayton, Antwaan Randle El, Bobby Wade, Brandon Stokely, Dennis Northcutt, Byron Leftwich, Tavaris Jackson, Sage Rosenfels...

Here's my team: 14 Team H2H Dynasty League. Bold are the players I'm currently thinking of dropping during the draft; italics are possibilities.

QB Aaron Rodgers
WR1 Roddy White
WR2 Marques Colston
WR3 Vincent Jackson
RB1 Maurice Jones-Drew
RB2 Clinton Portis
TE Heath Miller
W/R Santana Moss
Bench Tim Hightower
Bench Ryan Torain
Bench Brady Quinn
Bench Ryan Fitzpatrick
Bench Bobby Engram
Bench Brandon Jackson
Bench Amani Toomer

K Adam Vinatieri

D Aaron Kampman
D Terrell Suggs
D Adalius Thomas
D EJ Henderson
DB Antonio Cromartie
DB Chris Gamble
Bench Mike Peterson
Bench Channing Crowder
Bench Dwight Smith

So, basically, should I bother trading that pick for Addai or Stewart? Or maybe I should try and target a different RB to trade for? Or just hold onto it and hope to grab a good RB option at the 10th spot (Chris Wells could handcuff perfectly with Hightower).

Thanks in advance.

If this is a rookie/FA draft in a dynasty league, then Moreno and Wells are going to be gone 8 spots before that 10th pick.

Trade the pick away and get Addai for it.

the way i see it, you're giving up your 10th overall for j. stewart or addai, so which would you rather have?

given that stewart (in a RBBC) outscored addai (as a feature back), and now addai is in a committee (with his replacement), i think you have to go with stewart.

add in the fact that this is a dynasty and stewart is younger, and it makes the case even stronger.

Well, it's my 10th overall and Vincent Jackson for Stewart and his 3rd round. I could move VJax, but it would create a thin WR line for me since after White/Colston/Moss I'd have Engram...

Get him 2 do it for his 2nd instad of his 3rd and cut the deal for Stewart. Addai was a product of a very good offensive team, he was never a good RB. Stewart is very, very good and can have a long FF career. Jackson can be replaced at some point.

He is. Because of the rules, I still have the rights to Toomer (and Dwight Smith). So, if either signs, I have first crack at them. However, those are the first two I will most likely be dropping since they're dead weight. Fitzpatrick is the other certainty, while Engram and Jackson might end up going as well.

I inquired about his 2nd instead of his 3rd, and he said that he would need another player in return along with Jackson and my 1st. Not really hoping to do that, unless he wants a scrub, but I doubt that..

I would pass on both deals.
