Okay.. I'm sitting rather pretty in this leauge at 2-1 but having the highest point total out of any team. It is a PPR league with 1 point per reception, 1 point per 10 yards rushing/receiving and 6 points per TD. 12 team league

My lineup is as such:

QB: O'Sully/Delhomme (weak, i know)
WR1:Reggie Wayne
WR2:TO
WR3:Marvin Harrison
RB1:Reggie Bush (#1 overall RB points wise)
RB2:Jamal Lewis
TE:Vernon Davis/Donald Lee(weak, i know)
WR/RB(Flex):Julius Jones
Bench:Steve Slaton
Bench:Derrick Mason
Bench:Bobby Engram
Bench:Rudi Johnson
Bench:Michael Pittman
Bench:Josh Reed

I have just been offered: Witten/Edge/Berrian for Jones/Harrison/Slaton/Vernon(droppable in my eyes)

Should I accept this offer. Witten is a stud espcially in PPR if he could just ever find the end zone and is #3 overall in receptions this year; basically a low end WR1 IMO... Edge is Edge you know what your goin to get from him which is barely any TD's.. perosnally Slaton could outperform him from here on out and same with Jones but both those guys are sell high IMO and I don't know what to expect once Morris and Ahman come back.. Having Wayne/Harrison wasn't always ideal in my mind anyways and I'll be able to choose from Mason/Engram/Berrian on a week to week basis as my WR#3.. I'm giving up a lot of depth and potential here but am improiving my startling lineup bigtime with the addition of Witten..

Anyways, opinions wanted thank you very much

i'd do it
huge upgrade at TE, get a starting RB in edge, who can replace jones
harrison hasn't been good so far and i'm not sure if he can turn it around
losing slaton hurts but your getting witten every week and how many times were you planning on starting slaton

pull the trigger

Thanks for your response. It's a tough decision bc I have no clue how slaton/jones are going to be once morris/ahman comes back. Week 1 Morris was named the starter and when he went down Julius has stepped in and been amazing. If when Morris comes back and it becomes a tandem again it could be a really smart trade; especially with Duckett stealing goal line duties. I think Slaton will be the man at RB in Houston for the foreseeable future as Ahman just cna't stay ont he field, hwoever, their running game isn't very good to begin with. Having Bush/Lewis/Edge would be a solid RB core to work with. Hightower worries me as Edge doens't ever score or catch many passes.

but witten (one of the top TE's) is WAY better than veron davis, which is the kicker

I'd take the deal - especially in a point/catch league where 10 yards is the same for rushing/rcving. My stupid league has no points per catch and gives a receiving point for 20 yards vs 10 yards for rushing.

Witten makes the deal easily.

I just accepted the trade offer. I just really want Witten so I had to do it. No more being PO'd when Vernon gets shut out. I'm just really skeptical that I had to give up far too much to do this trade. I'm really hoping Julius can't keep this up. I even was able to pick up Mo Morris of FA's!

Gentleman,

Same league differnet trade. Lineup looks as such for now.
QB: O'Sully/Delhomme (weak, i know)
WR1:Reggie Wayne
WR2:TO
WR3:Derrick Mason
RB1:Reggie Bush
RB2:Jamal Lewis
TE:Jason Witten
WR/RB(Flex):Edgerrin James
Bench:Bobby Engram
Bench:Rudi Johnson
Bench:Michael Pittman
Bench:Josh Reed
Bench:Bernard Berrian
Bench:Mo Morris
Bench:Ryan Torrain

I have been offered Kurt Warner/Devin Hester for Derrick Mason/Rudi Johnson

This is a PPR 12 team league. Mason had a monster game last night so his value could be a bit inflated with Flacco throwing hm the ball, however, he did have over 100 catches last year which is a PPR dream but he just doens't score. I think I can afford to lose him bc I have Engram/Berrian/Reed to fill in at WR3 and flex during bye weeks etc. Question is should I pull the trigger? My QB position is the only position holding me back as I'm in 2nd place overall at 3-1 in my league but still the overall point leader. Will Warner not be a good enough upgrade over what I currenlty have to give up these two guys?

Thanks in Advance

I like the QB upgrade, and I think that there's no way he offers you this if Mason hadn't had that big night Monday - probably the best game he has all year. You got the points, and now you can move him.

I have Engram too, and figure he'll produce now that his healthy. Warner is airing it out and has great receivers to throw to, I'll think he do well.

I took the trade.

who to start at flex this week: Bernard Berrian at NO or Josh Reed at ARI

PPR league

I don't like the trade for you.

Slaton and J.Jones are having huge years, I think you could have held out for something better as they continue to put big points on the board. Vernon has to improve...

That trade you're referring to was completed before last weeks games. I agree that I prolly had to give up too much in that one but I don't agree that Vernon has to improve. Slaton put up a monster game again last week and is predicted to have one again this week so he's the only player I wish I didn't have to give up but oh well. I don't see Jones as keeping up what he's been doing. Witten and Edge got me 3 TD's last week combined when they had zero going into that week. I have Bush/Lewis who I was planning on starting every week except for on byes I was just graced with having a lot of depth so I wanted to upgrade my TE position. I did this trade with the only team that hasn't won a game yet so hopefully he'll start taking some people out and help me as I'm in 2nd as of this week. I traded them both while on a bye last week too. His team lost my team won.

The trade i was asking about was the warner one and then the flex play for this week. I just added these ?'s to this old thread versus starting a new one. Maybe I'll start a new one next time.
