Offered Harvin for my Torain. Do I accept?

Postby HskrPwr13 » Thu Oct 07, 2010 4:58 pm

Non PPR (starters bold):
QB: Eli, Orton, Vick
RB: Turner, Gore, Barber, Torain, Dixon
FX: [b]Foster

WR: Floyd, Smith(nyg), Murphy
TE: Gates, Keller
K: Bironas
D: Ravens

Obviously I'm stacked at RB, and short on WR. Wouldn't be too concerned about it, but Murphy and Floyd have same bye and I have to start at least 2 WR.

I've been offered Harvin for Torain. I think I should be able to get more, but its tough to trade in this league unless you take a "loss" in the deal. Pull the trigger?

Yeah, I believe your depth at RB allows you to make this trade. Randy's arrival in Minny will once again allow harvin to find those seams as well as get open underneath in the slot, not to mention be the recepient of more than a few carries on reverses (just like last year) when S.Rice helped open-up/create space for those kinds of plays. Harvin, when not popping Excedrins (lol) remains one of the NFL's FASTEST and most dangerous offensive weapons, who can take it to the house at ANY time --- believe it. Moss' arrival makes harvin relevant again ultimately, and expect Childress to utilize him FAR more effectively than he has up to this point. Moss changes EVERYTHING, and since I start AP every wk, he will also no longer face so many 7-8 man fronts, so drives will be extended and Minny's possessions will result in more yards and of course TDs now.

As a Skins fan and "honk", I can say that I correctly predicted that Ryan Torain would eventually assume the role of starting RB for Washington, not just bc Portis can no longer stay healthy or that LJ and Parker would be cut ultimately, but bc Shanny drafted him in DEN and planned on making Torain his latest 1000yd+ RB --- but that was b4 Torain's freak broken forearm injury. Well, they are together again, BUT--- I do not like the Skins' rushing attack due to their O-Line issues, last wk's win over Philly aside, where Torain DID in fact hit paydirt in addition to gaining 60yds...

Roll with Harvin, he plays on a better all-around team, he has an old but still cagey Brett Favre throwing him the pigskin, and the Vikings offense is more balanced in general, with a superior D providing the Vikings with extra possessions over the course of the season imo...

Do the TRADE imo, Harvin is far from "finished", he will be an asset to your thin WR corps imo

PLZ help with my OWN TRADE options:
