Your biggest pickup/trade of the season (so far)

I dont neccesarily mean big name, I mean someone that you got real cheap that has done great since. (Or even if it was just a fill in for a week or two).

Ive had 2, 1 in each of my leagues

Patrick Crayton
Deshawn Wynn

For

Mojo.

I got Mojo on september 26th. His value was obviously low after 3 week totals of 100 rushing yards (average carry of 3 yards (33 carries)), 56 recieving yards and no TDs for 3 games. Plus he was also on a bye that week which probably made his value slightly lower.

The next 3 games hes got 259 rushing yards (on a 7.6 average per carry (34 carries), 4 rushing TDs, and 106 receiving yards.

Wynn was cut a few days later (and picked up by someone a couple weeks ago) but has been at best average. Crayton was dropped a few days later. He had 1 big game but pretty much nothing else useful. (And the big game came when he was on waivers).

In my other league I picked up and started Kenny Watson last week for his 130 rushing yards, 3 tds and 27 receiving yard performance.

Only thing significant I've done is picked up Dwayne Bowe off waivers before week 4 and started him. Ended up having 8 rec 164 yards and a TD.

Hasn't done much for me since.

I picked up Brian Griese in both of my leagues right after the Cowboys/Bears game finished, a few days before they announced Rex's benching. Important pickup because I also had Marc Bulger in both of my leagues, who has either been sucking or injured.

I also traded Maurice Jones Drew and Darrel Jackson for Adrian Peterson back in week 3 or so.

Minor ones include picking up Jennings and McDonald, and Lemon as a fill in for one week and getting 4 TDs out of him.

I just traded Kevin Jones for Roy Williams. A player drafted Jones in the fourth round, realized he was hurt and dropped him. I picked him up and traded him back to the guy this week for his second overall pick, Roy Williams. At RB I have Willie parker and Adrian Peterson who I drafted in the sixth round of my keepr league. I also draft Brandon Marshall with my last pick.

I've made a couple of moves in my league. League rosters (2 qb's, 3 rb's, 4 wr's, 2 te's, 1K, 2 Def's, plus of course bench spots)

First move really paid off for me. Move early in the year before Bulger got injured. I moved Bulger, Kevin Jones, and the Tennessee D for Frank Gore, David Garrard, and Atlanta D.

Second move I made was trading Trent Edwards for Donald Lee. I really needed a tight end and Lee is pretty solid.

Last move I just made was to get a QB. With Garrard going down I just couldn't trust leaving it up to Jason Campbell and Phillip Rivers to get the job done. So I moved Frank Gore and Jason Campbell and I got Ben Roethlisberger and Calvin Johnson. I have Brandon Jacobs, Willie Parker, and Adrian Peterson as my backs so I felt pretty good with those backs, my depth is minimal I only have Jesse Chatman as my backup.

The two big FA picks up made I used with my waivers. Somebody had to drop Hines Ward due to no roster spots when he was injured. So I quickly went in to grab him. The other me is me hoping this guy makes it back for the fantasy playoffs. Javon Walker was dropped after his surgery. I have an extra bench spot, so I figured it did me no harm to give him a shot.

I made one mistake drop, getting rid of Greg Jennings. In this league he's worth something. I could have maybe tried to trade him instead.

Picked up Kenton Kieth the week Addai was hurt, and he won me a week.

Maybe a Raiders fans one or something. Even then id think some would have the sense to know Randy would be at least worth something.

Still pending, but I get all four players for Randy:

Willie Parker
Greg Jennings
Antonio Gates
Wes Welker

For:

Randy Moss

I've picked up Jennings and Holmes, who are both top 10 receivers now (by average).

I also picked up Kieth for that week because I have Addai and heard like 10 minutes before game time that he wasn't going to play.

Yup. I didn't even have Addai, but it was AP's bye week.

ive had 3 good pick ups thus far this season

i traded Trent Green for a slumping Drew Brees, brees turned it around a week after trading for him, and green got hurt the day after the trade was complete.

i also got Joseph Addai for an Andre johnson, and Phillip Rivers. i wanted to keep johnson cause i think hell be a top 5 WR but i figured addai will be a top 3 rb the rest the year

i got tenn. Def off waivers for the dropped houston Def

****., are you **** kidding me. Whoever did that is a dumb ass.

But anyways The best trade i did was before the season

i traded

Larry Johnson/Chad Johnson

For

Coles, Mcahgee, Gates, Chicago Defense

So my Rb's before the season were

Jones-Drew
Ronnie Brown
Mchageee
Carnell Williams

I thought i was pretty damn deep . intill 5 weeks into the season. lol

Oh yeah I just now completed anther trade. I needed a qb badly, Since Gresie went down, and i dont know when or how good gurrad will be when he comes back.

So i traded

Gates

for

Winslow/Garcia

I am hoping that don't get vetod but i am guessing it will.
