Ray Rice and Nicks for Calvin and Marion Barber?

Postby Minnesota Guy » Wed Oct 21, 2009 9:23 pm

I've been offered Marion Barber and Calvin Johnson for Ray Rice and Hakeem Nicks. Going into this year, I would have thought of this trade as an absolute no brainer, however as the season has gone thus far its a tough one. The rest of my lineup is the following.... Keep in mind we start 1QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE, K and Defense.

QB - Drew Brees
QB - Jay Cutler

RB - Brian Westbrook
RB - Ray Rice
RB - Pierre Thomas
RB - Tim Hightower
RB - Glenn Coffee

WR - Randy Moss
WR - Greg Jennings
WR - Santana Moss
WR - Percy Harvin
WR - Hakeem Nicks
WR - Miles Austin

TE - Dallas Clark
TE - Visanthe Shiancoe

K - Mason Crosby
D - Packers

Looking at just the question I would say this is a tough call but looking at your roster and the CJ situation I would absolutely "NOT" take this trade!

You have a monsterous WR crew working already so you don't really need a banged up no QB having CJ in your mix and R.Rice will finish the season as one of the top 3 RB's in the league and he is a dominate little RB so.....absolutely keep Rice at all costs and definatelly don't trade him for a banged up RB in MBIII who has a crap load of RB's to steal carries away from him.

Keep Rice and Nicks absolutely!

Rice >>>>> MBIII
your WR corp >>>>>>banged up CJ (who you wouldn't even play)

so...."NO DEAL"!!!!

Good Luck!

If your roster was different I would probably say yes

But you already have Westbrook who is injury prone, your RB core isnt that solid without Rice
Your WRs are solid,although Calvin would be a nice upgrade

I'd pass on this deal


help?

Thanks! I am 4-1-1 right now. I only need a couple more wins and should have a playoff spot already. Thanks for the advice.

Nice advice!! Thanks for breaking it down. I was leadning towards declining but you guys pushed me over the edge. I really think Rice is a star in the making. I forgot to mention that its a 1 man keeper league. So each year we carry over one player. Looking up and down my roster right now, I think Rice is the guy. Thanks again!!

BUMP

Any other thoughts. Or is this a no brainer to keep Ray Rice?
