Calvin, Forte and Celek for Welker, Greene and Clark (WHIR)

Postby toobitter » Sat Sep 04, 2010 3:58 pm

10 team league. heavy points for return yards and lots of IDPs.
so i'm extremely happy with my roster and part of me wants to just wait and see how the season starts.

however, one owner keeps persisting because he desperately wants Calvin Johnson and Matt Forte.

so i thought i'd try to come up with a decent offer to make.
his latest is shonn greene and wes welker for forte and johnson.
i would love to add greene, however, my running backs are already pretty solid.
i considered offering the deal above, but i'm not sure if it's really that much better.
getting dallas clark in place of celek could be a nice upgrade, but am i giving up too much in this.

here's my roster
QB - T. Romo (C. Henne)
RB - A. Peterson, D. Williams, J. Stewart (M. Forte, J. Harrison, F. Jackson, C. Williams)
WR - C. Johnson, B. Marshall (H. Ward, D. Driver, M. Wallace, D. Aromashodu)
TE - B. Celek
K - L. Tynes
DL - A. Carter
LB - D. Harris
DB - D. Manning
DP - DB J. Wilson
DP - LB K. Dansby

his roster
QB - M. Schaub (M. Stafford)
RB - M. Jones Drew, S. Jackson, S. Greene (L.McCoy, D. McFadden, S. Slaton)
WR - M. Sims-Walker, M. Crabtree (W. Welker, J. Maclin, T. Houshmanzadeh)
TE - D. Clark
K - R. Bironas
DL - J. Peppers
LB - J. Laurinaitis
DB - B. Dawkins
DP - LB D. Williams
DP - LB J. Mayo (LB B. Cushing, DB E. Berry)


what do you guys think?
clearly he has receiver issues as i wouldn't want to rely on sims-walker and crabtree as studs.
do i exploit it or wait it out?

I would not do that trade. i like ur team much better as is...ur already stacked at rb...and if this is a ppr league forte and greene are about a wash, forte will be huge in ppr leagues, and shonne is injury prone....calvin is worth more than welker/greene combined, bradford has been amazing in preseason, i would hold on to calvin with both hands. stay put imo.

Can you help with mine?

I wouldn't do that deal although i like getting Clark for Celek, but not at the expense of losing Calvin.

Help me in return? viewtopic.php?f=18&t=471452

I agree with Josh, I wouldn't do the trade either. The gain that you potentially get at RB would be clearly offset at WR, where instead of 2 consistent studs you'll have 1 stud and a bunch of WR2s. I don't think the slight upgrade at TE and pickup of Greene over Stewart is enough to make up the difference in your starting WR lineup.
I'm sorta new here...
