Which WRs should I offer for Jacobs or Portis? WHIR

Postby schmidty » Sun Oct 18, 2009 4:07 am

14-team Yahoo H2H. Pretty standard scoring. We start: QB, 3 WRs, 2 RBs, TE, K, DEF.

My team is scoring lots of points (2nd in the league, trailing #1 by only 8 points), but bad-luck has me in a 2-3 hole. My WRs have been carrying me, and my WR5 is better than most teams WR3. But finding a good RB2 has been a struggle. There's another team that seems open to trading - he has good RB depth (for a 14-teamer), but his WR scoring has been killing him. Maybe there's something I can swing?

My team:
QB: Big Ben, Favre
WR: Wayne, Ochocinco, Bowe, S Smith (NYG), Burleson
RB: Forte, Larry Johnson (yuck!), Leon Washington, Donald Brown
TE: Marcedes Lewis
K: Crosby
DEF: Redskins, Colts (picked them up early for next week - it's uber-competitive for WW defenses)

His team:
QB: Rodgers, Collins
RB: Jacobs, Portis, Stewart, Ricky Williams, Buckhalter
WR: Berrian, Bryant, Nate Washington, Chambers, Heyward-Bey
TE: Donald Lee
K: Longwell
DEF: Steelers

I'm only interested in Jacobs or Portis - like I said, I want a dependable RB2. The other guy is a good manager that I've played with before. So I want to start off with a reasonable offer (not a low-ball). I think Wayne for either straight-up is too much. What about Ocho straight-up for either? Or maybe one of my other WRs (Smith, Bowe, Burleson) with a non-Forte RB of his choice for Jacobs or Portis (with him dropping someone like Heyward-Bey)? Maybe something else? Would you particularly favor Jacobs or Portis?

Thanks for any insight! Leave a link and I'll answer yours.

Right, this guy has horrible WR's. Still, you don't need to trade with him, your depth would help anyone. I think Jacobs is overrated this year and Portis is a really scary option. Try another team. If you really like those guys, I would try Bowe straight up or as the other guy said Steve straight up.

You'd think so, but at least in this 14-team league I'm finding that not to be the case. Startable RBs are like gold, and no one wants to part with them. I've already been blown off by a few other teams, and there seem to be no less than 4 other teams actively trying to shop WRs for RB help.
