Trade Hines Ward and Hightower for Addai? WHIR

Postby cometfan » Fri Oct 09, 2009 7:55 am

12 team standard scoring league. My RB and WR:

RB: S Jackson, Grant, LJ, Hightower, Taylor
WR: Fitzgerald, Sims-Walker, Welker, Ward, Ginn

Should I trade Ward and Hightower for Addai? I don't think I really need Ward when I can start 2 of Fitz, MSW, and Welker.

Thanks!

initially - I'd not trade for Addai - the word is Brown is the one moving up... (isn't Hightower also moving up?)... losing Ward seems to be a lot - but does he score much in fantasy???

Then again, if you don't believe in Hightower or ARZ & Ward's points aren't huge (he's noted for tough play more than 'big numbers')... and you think IND will turn to the run (to protect leads & spend more than 15 minutes to win a game)... maybe you DO pull the trigger

who is a better wr from the backfield, Addai or Brown???

Thanks for help on mine. I would not trade for Addai, first off he is banged up and very limited in practice this week. Could be a sign of things to come for rest of reason. Second, I just don't like the guy. D Brown is going to eat away at Addai's production IMO.

I don't think the trade helps or hurts you. I wouldn't do it because I just don't like Addai..he is a gimp...you wont ever play hightower/Ward but I would rather have them on the bench than Addai.

I think I'd shoot for a little better RB than Addai, but not sure how much better you can get only offering Ward. If you only start 2 WR's, throw S-W or Welker into the mix and see if you can get a bonafide starting RB. But Ward for Addai, I wouldn't do that.

I dont' like this for you either. I hate Addai and although you probably won't start Hightower, you probably wouldn't start Addai either. Ward on the other hand has been decent and is a favorite target of Big Ben. I say neh. Good Luck.

personally I would make the trade, as you mentioned you have the depth and addai is doing fairly well this season. To be honest with you I don't think it really hurts or helps you out tremendously because I don't think Hightower is that far behind addai. I don't think it can hurt you either way and if you feel your getting a bit more with addai than go for it.

There's no point in making a trade if it doesn't help your team, and I don't think this one does. Let it go....
