Stay pat or upgrade TE?

Postby Asskickas » Sat Aug 08, 2009 5:14 pm

I think I might need an upgrade at TE. I drafted in a high scoring 14 teamer and ended up with Shockey. I really wanted Winslow or Olsen but I grabbed LeSean McCoy in the 7th round since rbs had dwindled down a lot due to the scoring settings. By the 8th both Olsen and Winslow were gone of course. Anyway 1 team has both Clark and Witten so I'm thinking of proposing a trade to get Clark.

Scoring:
Passing-- 1/20yds, -3/ints, 6/td, 0.5/comp, Bonus 10@350yds, 20@450yds
Rush/Receive--6/td, 1/10, 1PPR, -1/lost fum, 1/rush att, Bonus 10@150, 20@220
Return--1/25, 8pt tds

My Team
QB Brees
WR Greg Jennings
WR 85
WR Hester
RB Ryan Grant
RB Fred Jackson
TE Shockey
W/R/T Sammy Morris
W/R/T LeSean McCoy
K Robbie
DEF Jets
D Jerod Mayo
D DJ Williams
BENCH
RB Michael Bush
RB Marshawn Lynch
WR Jeremy Maclin
WR Earl Bennett
QB Trent Edwards

His Team
QB Romo
WR Andre Johnson
WR Driver
WR Jenkins
RB Gore
RB FWP
TE Witten
W/R/T Dallas Clark
W/R/T McGahee
K Longwell
DEF Titans
D Will Blackmon
D Jared Allen
Bench
RB Graham
RB Fargas
TE Fasano
WR Michael Clayton
QB Shaun Hill

Finally the question...would you make a move for a TE upgrade? Or will Shockey be decent enough in 09. He can only go up from last year right?

With his weak WRs (except AJ) I think my options are
1. Hester for Clark straight up (even? or Hester too much due to 8pt tds in return scoring)
2. Hester/Shockey for Clark/Jenkins
3. Stay pat since Shockey will finally make some noise in 09.

I wouldn't. Trading for a TE would mean you are wasting the Shockey pick. He should be solid this yr. 4,500 yds and 30+ TD have to go to somebody. I would stand pat.

Never trade for a tight end unless his name is Tony Gonzalez and the year is 2004.

In other words, no.
