In no way would i accept that trade... or not veto it immediately

tony romo and philip rivers are similar fantasy players imo
ap> addai x10000
best> bradshaw (and its close only because best has injury concerns)
White and desean jackson are very similar as well.

all you would be doing is trading his bye weeks until a later date...

I dunno it doesn't seem that off to me. Rivers is way better than Romo at this point, which makes up for the AP > Addai disparity. The others are all close. I probably wouldn't take the trade, but I wouldn't vote against it.

I just can't figure out why Kash drafted his players if he wants to trade them all away

only 4 pts/week difference between them last year, and Addai has sweet match-up vs Jax....and he's from LSU

Turf toe will frick you up. and his fluke 5 td's are the difference in points, they will not be there anymore. His average is shite.(remove one run)

BS, Djax had one shite game because of the Kolb experiment, he's out produced White since, and Jenkins back at practice meaning that White's looks going down in the very near future.

Unless half your team gets hurt, dies, or have byes that week - you are going to win. I'm banking on you to win this whole thing, honestly. I underestimated your drafting skillz.


With a limited sample size of games, and the high likelihood of unpredictable injuries, there's a lot of luck involved. I do above average in these things and I do tend to make the playoffs more often than not. But once playoffs come around, the team that drafted players based on name recognition, favorite players, or cool names has a similar chance of winning the whole thing.

Fair enough. To your advantage, you do probably keep up with this stuff better than most, if not all, of us. Of course, now everyone is wary of you and thinks you're trying to screw them over (me included)

Yeah, this is the only thing that ever makes me feel like I have a shot. I'm 3-0 in my keeper league, and had the 2nd pick. I had to get a RB, and the top 2 available were Mendenhall and Deangelo Williams - I said I would pick whichever 2 the 1st guy didn't take. He took DW, and I got Mendenhall which has more than 3 times the points that DW does after 3 weeks.

Not only that, but Deangelo is currently on ESPN's front page for fantasy for how badly he's doing.

It really is a crapshoot.

when a first bid is good enough normally people accept it.
addai+bradshaw<ap in points so far this year
addai+bradshaw<best in points so far this year.

phillip rivers is better than romo right now but for the remainder of the season i bet they get similar amounts in points

still i would take ap and best more than addai and bradshaw.
romo and rivers are comparable in my opinion with the slight edge to rivers because the afc west is terrible.

white and desean jackson are comparable with white getting the slight edge because of ppr and the vick/kolb situation.

thats just my opinion though

If he still can't practice by Friday, there will be real concern for the explosive rookie. For a guy that relies on his speed so much, any limitations could be disastrous

I better rescind the offer

I'll need to take some time tonight to come up with a counter-offer. I've declined the trade.

The difference between Romo and Rivers is negligible, but I'm no Cowboys fan, so that's a psychological upgrade for me.

Losing Peterson for Bradshaw is a downgrade for me

Losing Best for Addai strikes me as a similar downgrade even if we exclude 2 fluke TDs for Best

Losing White for Jackson strikes me as a downgrade not because of fantasy points, but because of the difference in QBs throwing to them. I think their similarity will begin to disappear and White will be the better WR over the rest of the season. I think you suspect this as well.
