In a 10 men league... My team: QB Romo WR Colston WR S. Moss WR Williams (TB) RB Mendenhall RB Forte RB Stewart TE Gonzalez Bench: WR Royal WR Meachem RB Fred Jackson RB Harrison RB Barber Someone offered me Reggie Wayne and Shonn Greene for Colston and Mendenhall. One the one hand Wayne would be a huge upgrade over Colston (plus Meachem may exploding), but i don“t know if i want to lose Mendenhall. What do you guys say about this trade?
his team is: QB Kolb WR R. Moss WR Owens WR Wayne RB Gore RB Jones-Drew RB Ivory TE Clark Bench: RB Pierre Thomas WR Branch RB Greene TE Hernandez WR Moore
Switch to Pierre Thomas and that deal would be about even once hes back from injury. Mendenhall has higher upside in a more balanced run-oriented offense but PT has explosiveness and can really come one later in the season. Wayne is a consistent top 5 WR every week where as Colston will be boom or bust. I dont understand why he needs Mendenhall as well if he has MJD and Gore. Thats just being greedy.
I don't think it's greedy at all, it's smart. Great RBs get a solid 15 points a game while receivers are boom or bust every week. With that trio of backs he's a lock for 40+ points/week.
LOL that's what I mean about him being greedy. Of course it's smart and if I were able to do that in my league I would in a heartbeat. But with they team that guy is fielding now, by adding Mendenhall he'd be unstoppable. I think now to decline any offer that doesn;t include Gore just to keep the level of competitiveness high in that league b/c my guess is he's killin people right now.
