This trade is driving me crazy!?!?!?

Question

I've gotten completely mixed answers on this question and I've asked it in a buncha places. So please give me reasoning behind your answer.

Ok, as it stands now, my WR's are

Laveranues Coles
Chad Johnson
Vincent Jackson
Santonio Holmes
Devin Hester

My RB's are

Reggie Bush
Marshawn Lynch
Maurice Jones-Drew
Lamont Jordan

I can either trade Lamont Jordan and a receiver for Randy Moss

or

Lamont Jordan and Coles for Travis Henry and Darrell Jackson

Which is the better deal? Which is better for my team?

Answer 1

Randy Moss is going to have a great season. Jordan is looking to have a repeat of 05. Henry is going to have a great season with Denver's running scheme, and Jackson is just a great receiver. Having said all that, my vote is for option number two. Jordan, AND a receiver, would be in the other persons favor point-wise not to mention that of your other three running backs only one is a full timer. The other two are time shares. Now the second is a different breed of horse all together. In it you get a straight across. You loose no depth, and actually improve the quality of your players. If I had a shot at the second trade, I wouldn't hesitate. GO FOR NO. 2!!

Answer 2

Hey Yankeefan: Randy Johnson?

Anyway, the first trade isn't very good, because you're ending up with only 3 RBs. RBs are better than WRs because they touch the ball a lot every game. Besides, Randy Moss isn't going to have a game like he did last week many times this year. Defenses are going to key on him and Brady will simply throw to someone else (Brady's known to have a different favorite receiver each week). I wouldn't make that trade.

The second trade is more interesting, but I'm not sure I would do it, either. LaMont Jordan is like an LT or Brian Westbrook in that he is very involved in the passing game. Those kinds of RBs - the ones who don't share the load and who catch a lot of passes - are gold. Problem is, no one knows how they're going to play Jordan when Dominic Rhodes comes back from a suspension (healthy and rested, but maybe a bit rusty). Denver's zone blocking schemes fit Travis Henry's running style and you should see a lot of production out of him. Until he gets injured (he's known to be injury prone). I think Coles and Jackson are kind of a wash. If you feel compelled to make a trade for the sake of making one, do the second trade. Personally, I don't think I would make either one.

Answer 3

Do not trade away Coles. Go with the Moss trade but only if you have to give up Holmes or Jackson or Hester (he'll never take that). Bottom line: Lamont had a great week, and Henry will be solid, but don't give up Coles for Jackson- his point differential will be staggering and Jordan and Henry's will be closer in the end. Moss on the other hand could tear it up for you if you had Johnson, Moss, and Coles as your WRs. That would be sick man.

Answer 4

Go with Moss becuase if its a 2 slot RB leauge like most all he give u hella points with Brady being QB. Week 1 was just a sample. He should do better points And With the RB lossin a spot u should be fine with just 3 for a 2 slots.

But

If u r in a 3 slot league for RB go with Henry and Jackson o u have enough players for both postions

Answer 5

Lamont jordan for randy Johnson you have a dominating RB staff however the WR's arent exactly dominating plus with moss going to the patriots he will get a lot of touches

Answer 6

I would definitely trade Jordan with a receiver for Moss.

Now for which receiver, trade Hester. I hope you can get the trade to go down by adding Hester in there.

Hester won't be starting at WR. He is more like a 4th string WR so if your league doesn't count punt return yards, trade him for sure.

Good Luck

Answer 7

I suggest getting randy moss
