Im condisering offereing Mendenhall and TO for Boldin. TO is worthless and i want to sell high on Mendenall before parker comes back. Is this is a good trade for me? He said he would accept it.
My league info: CBS Sports line league 6pts for any TD reception, pass, run No PPR
QB: Drew Brees, Brett Favre RB: Ledainian Tomlinson, Pierre Thomas, Glenn Coffee, Reshard Mendenhall, Beanie Wells WR: Randy Moss, T.O., Devery Henderson, Sidney Rice TE: Vernon Davis K: Kris Brown Def: Dolphins
No way man, You cant give Mendenhall away. Tomlin will no way sit Mendenhall at this point. All he has to do is show that with what carries he gets he outproduces Parker and Parker will be reduced to 3rd down back. Plus, Parker is always dinged and misses time too much. I'm guessing he goes down again seeing how turf toe is a lingering injury. Sorry but thats how I see it.
i agree with the above. they're nearly forced to use mendenhall with hwo well hes played starting so far. no way tomlin doesn't use him, he's clearly better then fwp. although i do agree about upgrading your wr. try to ship out to and beanie wells as i know a lot of people who are high on him, but i just dont see him blowing up this season.
I'm thinking of something similar where I send off Mendenhall for Jennings. He's a real wildcard and could end up with great numbers or he could get stuck splitting carries with FWP, at least to some degree which would hurt his production. I'm usually inclined to make a deal though so I'd probably make this trade for Boldin if it will address your needs and only if you're ok at RB without Mendenhall.
I agree with the general sentiment here. I think Parker is done. When he comes back, there's no way Mendenhall gets relegated to backup the way he's been playing. I might go as far as saying that he's your top RB right now. I'd try to sell high on Coffee instead.
