Is this realistic? My McFadden/Olsen for P. Thomas WHIR!

Postby Wags » Sat Oct 03, 2009 3:00 pm

Standard league, all TD's are 6pts. My roster is in my signature. The other guy's is at the bottom of the post. We start 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 Flex (RB or WR), 1 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF.

I'm trying to accomplish two things with this trade. One I'm going to have to drop two players next week to grab a QB, and a DEF....this will free up one spot, so then all I will have to do is drop Larry Johnson. Second I'm trying to decide between TEs. Honestly, I think Keller will have a better season, but Olsen will have a great week, so I'm trying to use that to my advantage.

But i didn't know if this trade was too under-sided for me or for him....Would Knowshon be more fair?

Leave a link!

QB Shaub, Rivers
RB Donald Brown, Ronnie Brown, Pierre Thomas, K. Moreno, Gore
WR Randy Moss, Andre Johnson, Anthony Gonzalez, Chris Henry, D. Mason
TE Ben Watson, V. Davis
K Crosby
DEF Eagles

I think it might be a little lopsided but bc you have Keller you can give up Olson... I think Mcfadden is a bust and you should get rid of him and take Pierre Thomas. He will score at least 10 tds this year, Mcfadden is having fumblng probs and will prob get benched for Bush..

I would do it for your situation. I also think Thomas > Moreno

Can you please help on mine?

I would do that trade. You have a good enough TE in Keller and you could use the depth at RB. McFadden isn't off to a great start this year. I think you definitely win in this trade. Do it!

Thanks for the help with mine.

I think it is a bit lopsided, but not so much that it is out of the question. Offer McFadden, if they deny then offer Moreno. No point in offering Moreno first! P. Thomas is a great back to get at this point in the season, very underrated. If they accept, then you definitely have improved your roster.

i like ittt. Although olsen hasnt been putting up much numbers this year, i think keller would be just as good. Plus you would benefit greatly at rb

If you can pull this off then great job! I love Thomas... do you know if the other guy will accept? He may be leary to give up Thomas, and he has Davis at te who looks to break out. McFadden and Olsen have great matchups, i might wait until after this weeks games as both olsen and mcfadden should be productive and drive their value up a bit.

I have no idea if he will take it or not. This guy is pretty involved with Fantasy (I think this is one of four leagues)....but I'm thinking it might intrigue him. He does have Vernon, but he's been very inconsistent. Plus, Pierre might be limited this weekend. If that's the case, I think he'd have no problem shipping off Pierre for a pretty consistent TE and RB.

He grabbed Pierre thinking he'd put up #1 numbers. I have even thought about sending him Coffee, which he might like more because the man loves Gore.

Did he reply? McFadden is likely garbage. If you can get P.Thomas, who has tremendous upside, I'd do it. I wouldn't worry about the TE position with Keller on your team. Thanks for the help on mine.

DMac is likely to continue busting because OAK has no QB, and this upgrade likely helps your roster if he'll bite. I would probably do it.
