Trade question!

[travisb]

my season is in the tank and im thinking of next year cause im in a keeper league..so im trying to trade ochocinco for either Mendenhall, or deangelo williams...mendenhall will count as an 8th round, and williams a 12th round next year if i keep them...so im just trying to figure out what people thought of these 2 players after this year. does anyone think mendenhall will turn into a fantasy stud? or would it be safer to go with williams?

I dont think anyone would trade you either of them for 85. That being said either of the 2 would be good options, I actually like Mendy a little more

It is tough to say if they will trade you the rb's for a Chad 8 5. I like either back and would rate Williams ahead of Mendy and would take him first, but you still need the willing trading partner. I'm a big believer in if your team is down and out, rebuild and always look a few years into the future to keep your roster young in keeper / dynasty leagues. Good luck.

i like williams too...but he does split carries with stewart, and loses out on goal line touches because stewart is the bigger back...does that affect anything? of course im always hesitant to take a back that splits carries.

sidenote: are people down on chad 85? i believe hes in the top 5 for wr's this year..i know hes getting older, but he's only 31.
