Should I trade for Fred Taylor?

Question

Here is my team, I need a new RB:

Eli Manning
Reggie Wayne - WR
Marques Colston - WR
Steve Smith - WR
Greg Jennings - WR
Reggie Brown - WR
Alge Crumpler - TE
Carnell Williams - RB
M. Jones-Drew - RB
Jamal Lewis - RB
Travis Henry - RB

The guy has proposed Taylor and Lee Evans for Steve Smith, definitely not doing that but was thinking of making the offer of Steve Smith for Taylor and Houshmandzadeh. Is this dumb? I could try for Kevin Jones and Housh for Smith...what do you think?

Answer 1

The guy that offered you trade will be probably be too stingy to accept anything you offer. But to your question, do not take Fred Taylor, I was going to suggest taking Jones-Drew but that's already taken care of. Taylor will get the majority of the carries, but Drew does get the goal line carries. You can see how this situation affects Tiki's value.

I think you should definitely take Kevin Jones, in the past few weeks he has been scoring multiple TD's and getting 100 yards from scrimmage. Kevin Jones is a consistent reliable fantasy back that should start every week. Depending on how desperate the owner is for a wideout, it shouldn't be a problem. You have a whole corps of great ones. If you can get TJ too that'll be great but I doubt it.

Any one of your three wideouts should be enough for Kevin Jones, if not you can get a better deal from any other desperate owner.

Answer 2

You can get more out of Steve Smith than that. Try this out: make a counter offer, Kevin Jones and Housh for Smith. If and when he denies it, go a little lower and offer for Kevin Jones and Lee Evans. When bargining you always want to aim high and go lower from there, you never know what his expectations are. In his head he could be thinking I'm going to offer this crap trade, but if he offered for Kevin Jones and Housh I'll think about it. Go with Jones and Housh and see what happens from there.

Answer 3

Kevin.Jones and Housh. is a way better deal than Taylor and Housh.. But i still wouldn't make that trade. Smith is your most dependable WR. See if you can trade away some of the other WR's and T.Henry for Kevin Jones. He plays 49ers @ home next, and is in a week division.

If you add Housh to your WR Bunch you will have a hand full of talented #2 receivers competing for Steve Smith's #1 Spot. (Save your sefl that headache)

Answer 4

It is a decent trade, Fred will stay the starter unless he gets hurt. Just make sure the to trade Smith for Fred Taylor, Housh and the Fred Taylor ACL package.

Answer 5

Pass on the deal and hold onto Smith. If anything, you may be able to deal with another team. If you're willing to part with Smith, you can find better in return than what the other guy is offering.

Answer 6

KEEP SMITH. I personally like Taylor. He can score in a heartbeat, but I do like Housh, but I must repeat KEEP SMITH and see if you can work a deal without giving him up.

Answer 7

that must be a incredibly intelligent handcuff flow on your area.because of the fact if AP might bypass down Chester could be the guy in Minn.(this is a vast time working team,)Taylor+Brown will chop up incorporates with MJD+R.Williams..So,i might commerce the two one in all'em,because of the fact you choose your RB to get the majority load of incorporates,regardless of if he's your backup. ~G{}{}d success!~

Answer 8

your team is good the way it is, Jones-Drew is gonna take the starting spot from taylor soon anyway(Taylor is probably gonna get hurt......SURPRISE)

Answer 9

Go with the first choice and see what happens.
