Trade opinion?

Question

For all you fantasy football players that really know what your talking about, in my league, some guy offered mee Chad Johnson and Reggie Bush for Tiki Barber. What do you guys think of this trade, is it fair?

Answer 1

Great trade and of course it depends how soon Carson Palmer will be back. Personally, I would take it. Reggie will have a very good year.

Answer 2

It depends if the idea of a 2 for 1 is great or not. Tiki is still one of the better backs in the league that is healthy enough to play a full season, which you can't get these days, and also has the job secure. Brandon Jacobs is going to get some carries and be a goal line vulture, but I do see Barber getting the majority of the ball with the same offense he has last season, so Barber's value doesn't change much. I worried that the players the other team offering you doesn't do justice because here's why:

1) Johnson is an elite reciever and will produce this season, but Carson Palmer's health might be the link to having another solid season or becoming the biggest bust this year. If he can get his "*********" together and stop thinking about what kind of touchdown celebration he's going to do, he's going to be alright, as long as T.J. is also getting the attention by the defense.

2) Bush is a super-porspect that's going to flourish in the near future, but just not this year (If he was in Houston, I would have said something different because Domanic Davis is hurt). He show why he going to be the best rookie this season in his first pre-season game, but sharing the ball with McAllister is going to hurt his value, whether DM is hurt or not. The Saints don't want to rush Bush in the fire unless it's necessary and if he even gets the job, he's going to hit the rookie wall at some point in the season, which doesn't suit well for owners who want to win now.

Answer 3

It all depends on the rest of your roster. Reggie Bush may not start so you can get screwed out of a starting RB and Chad's TD production is way down cause the Bengals are spreading the ball around so much. Palmer threw what 30+ TD's Chad only caught 9 of them...not good. Plus Palmers status is still unknown, if he doesn't play for a few weeks you could start your season off 0-4 and kiss the play-offs good bye. Do yourself a favor stick with what you got. Players get injured all the time so you can always pick someone up or make a trade after the season has started.

Answer 4

Nope, sorry. You've got a potential top 5 back in Barber, you can't give that up, no matter how sexy a pickup Reggie Bush would be, because even if he wins the starting job, Deuce McCalister is far too talented to let rot on the bench, meaning at least for this season, Bush is no better than the best RBBC option available. Bottom line: I know of no fantasy player in his right mind willing to go into this season with Reggie Bush as their #1 RB, and that's what you'll be making him. I am assuming (with virtual 100% confidence) that Barber was your 1st round pick.

And is it worth doing with Chad Johnson? I dunno, I'd have to know what you're facing at WR right now, but you'd have to be pretty terrible to give up a top 5 RB to get a top 10 WR (yes, I meant top 10...I think Chad's going to be good, but not top 5, I've given several reasons for this in other posts). Even if you were offering a potential #1 WR, I'd have to say sorry, Charlie.

Answer 5

I say the trade is actually quite unfair. The one getting Barber is getting the better end of this trade.

Chad Johnson is a good receiver, but his performance rests on the health of Carson Palmer. Bush is third on the depth chart so he might not have as big of an impact this year as everybody thinks.

Barber is a proven RB, and will put up points. Also, an RB will put up a lot more points then a WR on most days.

Answer 6

It's fair. Clearly, Barber's the best player in the deal. When giving two players for one player, you almost always have to give more than you're getting and this seems to be the case here.

Remember that the Saints still have Deuce around and they'll probably feel compelled to use both him and Bush. It wouldn't surprise me to see Deuce in a goal line role with Bush being a between the 20's guy.

The deal is fair on paper and depending on your RB depth, I'd consider it. But isn't Barber supposed to have his goal-line carries taken away in favor of some other RB like Brandon Jacobs?

If you need the WR help, I'd do the deal.

Answer 7

Yeah that trade would work out in your favor. Johnson is one of the best WR's in the league, and Bush has had a decent preseason. So I think Tiki will get more points tham Bush but Johnson will make up for the lost points and then some. So take the trade.

Answer 8

C for the Hornets because first of all, Banks and Anderson are merely there to fill out the roster, they dont upload to the ream. Jack isn't a nasty %. up, yet dropping Bayless and his skill to be a large call hurts in the destiny, exceptionally if Paul bolts after this season. B+ for the Raptors. i love this flow because now they have a participant in Bayless than followers can get enthusiastic about. he's a scorer and a playmaker. and probably Stojakovic can help them couple of minutes period. Age should not be a difficulty to a lot for him when you consider that he's strictly a shooter so possibly all he desires is a commerce of surroundings. If issues do not workout routine with him, they could do merely away at the same time with his $14 million settlement even as the season's executed.

Answer 9

People seem to be forgeting that Bush is 2nd on the depth chart. Chad Johnson is good. Tiki is really good. I would keep Tiki.

Answer 10

I'd take it. I don't think Tiki will have a good year.
Bush should eventually get some carries and have some good games.
If it's a keeper league and you can keep Bush next year, definitely do it.
