OR

GET:

Julius Jones

FOR:
Joseph Addai
Issac Bruce

Any advice?

WR: Chris Chambers
WR: Anthony Gonzalez
RB: Marice Jones-Drew
RB: Joseph Addai
TE: Todd Heap
BN: Chad Pennington
BN: QB Alex Smith
BN: Bernard Berrian
BN: Issac Bruce
BN: Garrett Wolfe

Answer 1

If your just asking strickly for the trades I would rather have Addai. He is the main back in the system of a highly explosive offense. He is going to have a huge year, catching and running the football. There is no way you should trade him at all. Keep Addai and trades MJD.

Its really that easy, except I would take out Clark and put in Bruce where he is in that MJD trade, just to give him another WR instead of a TE. Nobody needs two TE's in FF. Also I doubt either trade will go through. Johnson is a really high fantasy value player and the person who usually gets him doesn't wanna trade him for nobody. Just an opinion.

Good luck!!

Answer 2

I'd rather have Addai, myself. Both backs are young and proven. The difference is that Addai plays in a better offense, and the last time the Colts stuck to a one back system, Edgerrin James happened. The Colts also have a better O-line than the Jags.

As far as those above trades go, I'd much rather do the first one. Giving up Desmond Clark along with Jones-Drew won't be bad at all if you're getting a #1 WR like CJ.

Answer 3

Addai is a much better back than Jones-Drew is. You have to consider the offense and the team surrounding the running back. They will use Addai much more this year, especially considering that he's the featured back.

Giving up Jones-Drew and getting JJ and Chad Johnson in return is definitely in your favor. Especially if you keep Issac Bruce too. Besides, I'm a Bears fan and I can tell you that Greg Olsen is going to see a majority of time at TE. Desmond Clark is on his way out.

Make the trade before the other guy comes to his senses.

Answer 4

Do the Chad and Julius for Maurice Jones-Drew and Desmond because Maurice is a very goo running back but he will probably will be splitting with fred taylor even though julius will be splitting also. Dallas has a better offensive line.
Chad is 10 times better than Desmond who is almost done with career and wont come close to the fantasy points Chad will have this year. Contact me at [e-mail] for any other questions.

Answer 5

If i am reading right you would end up starting Julius Jones at running back if you make either of these trades. If that is the case I wouldn't do either deal - Jones lost almost all end zone carries to M Barber III last year and could lose the job altogether this year.

Addai could be a top five back this year and while MJ Drew isn't a full-timer, he gets more opportunities to score than Taylor.

You could use another WR, but I wouldn't do it at the expense of having to start Jones at RB.

Answer 6

Addai

Answer 7

Keep Addai. I would definitely just propose him the second one. You are definitely getting the better deal in this trade. DEFINITELY DO THE FIRST ONE. Try to keep Addai though.

Answer 8

Any time you can get a top 5 RB for a backup no matter how good you have to get him. Go for Addai. A starter on a super powered offense? Do you really need to ask?

Answer 9

Hard to tell without the rest of your team. Based purely on projected points and player values I wouldn't do either because it seems like you have addai and MJD which I wouldn't change if I was you.

Answer 10

addai is better
