Knox for Vjax... is he worth the risk in a keeper league?

Postby woods_opc » Sat Sep 04, 2010 8:47 am

I am in a 14 team H2H keeper league where we are keeping 4 players without penalty. Standard scoring, we play 3 WR / 2 RB and no flex.

I have been offered:
Vincent Jackson and an 8th round pick
For Johnny Knox

QB - Tom Brady** (Kyle Orton)
WR - Greg Jennings** (Jacoby Jones)
WR - Percy Harvin (Bernard Berrian)
WR - Johnny Knox (Legedu Naanee, Laurent Robinson)
RB - Adrian Peterson** (Marion Barber)
RB - Michael Turner** (Ahmad Bradshaw)
TE - Jermichael Finley
K - Empty at moment
DEF - New Orleans

Is this a good risk to take on with my team (in light of the risk of Harvin as is and not much behind him at the moment)?

Thanks, WHIR

Tough call; but I would hang tight. If I look at your WRs; this is how I view them.
- Knox; I am pretty high on him this year and going forward in a Martz system
- Robinson; has the opportunity this year with Avery out and may be able to position well in the future
- Naanee; his value just went down with the Crayton move
- Jones; I like what I have seen this year..would love to see him supplant Walter at WR2, great future upside
- Berrian; does he finally do what we have thought he could?

V. Jackson is a great talent; but until he changes his mind on his worth, him playing anywhere becomes a challenge. I think playing for the Chargers is over and then it depends on where he lands if he lands. I think Rivers really helped him; look at what happened to TJ...great WR that goes to a bad team with QB issues and he is on the verge of being cut.

To me V. Jackson is just too much of a gamble.

Based on your roster - I just can't see giving up Knox for Vincent Jackson at this time. I think he could have a big year this year and your roster really needs him.

My two cents.
