The trade that saves my season

Postby Triplec223 » Wed Oct 13, 2010 12:17 pm

I am off the worst start I've ever had with a 1-4 record in my 14-team redraft league. I've got a ton of underachievers (Bowe, MJD, Flacco, NYG Steve Smith, Stafford, Reggie Bush).

After deciding it was too late to keep waiting on these guys to produce, I just got this trade done:

I get:
Randy Moss
Matt Ryan
Jamaal Charles

I give:
Felix Jones
Mike Wallace
Reggie Bush

Believe it or not, this was offered to me by the guy in first place. I guess he's a big Felix Jones fan and also worried about Moss' production with Favre's ongoing drama/elbow. This is what my team will look like after the trade:

QB: Matt Ryan
WR: Roddy White
WR: Randy Moss
WR: Steve Smith
RB: Maurice Jones-Drew
RB: Ahmad Bradshaw
TE: Zach Miller
W/R/T: Jamaal Charles
K: Matt Bryant
DEF: Cincinnati

BN: Joe Flacco
BN: Thomas Jones
BN: Lee Evans
BN: Dwayne Bowe
BN: Matthew Stafford (will drop once this goes through)
BN: Oakland D

Settings are league veto. That definitely crossed my mind.

I love this trade for you, but I don't see any reason at all for the league to veto it. If they do, I'd raise a SERIOUS stink--vetoing should ONLY be used when there is obvious cheating/collusion going on.

Oh, and I feel your pain on the Bowe underproduction--his drop just about killed me last week, although at least his coach seems to love him, which leads me to (optimistically) believe he'll pull out of this funk.

Then again, losing both Grant and Kolb in the first week, and then Vick a few weeks later, didn't do much to make me feel great about this year in fantasy.

Nice deal for you, should pass veto

You improve pretty much across the board. Save your season? Don't know, but it definitely makes you better.

I'd agree about this not really being veto-able. There's a big difference between questioning people's value of a player and flat out cheating. I think you get the better end of the deal, but I wouldn't say it's ridiculous.
