I know this probably isn't the best place to ask this question, but I don't know where is the best place to put this so here sounded good.

I was offered a trade of LeSean McCoy, Saints Defense, and Robert Meachem and in return I'd get Beanie Wells and Kenny Britt

should I do it? And suggestions of what I coudl do to make it better any help would be nice...

thanks all advice is helpful

Well I don't know who is on your team so can't say what would be better but just looking at that

without knowing what your teams look like Id say know but I like I said id have to see what you already have.

it'd be nice to see what else you have on your team

but it seems like you would win with Beanie Wells… the Cardinals will regress incredibly with Leinart at the helm and they’ll run a bunch more to compensate

LeSean McCoy will be okay but barely serviceable as a #2 RB IMHO

as far as defenses go, if I can’t have the Packers or Eagles with late picks, you might as well look for defenses on a matchup basis… I guarantee that the Saints will not repeat their incredible turnover ratio

Matt Schaub

Meachem, the Saints D are both proven commodities

meanwhile who knows with Wells and Britt. Wells has a history of being injury prone, and will be sharing carries while Britt may not get thrown to a lot with CJ2k in the backfield and VY being more of a scrambler than a passer. I would say pass on it and hold what you got.

Also, get rid of LeSean McCoy. Andy Reid never runs the ball and unless McCoy catches the ball as well as Westbrook, I don’t see him being much use in fantasy football

I was going to say the same as you basically.

I keep McCoy though as a backup and use 3 WR unless you have a better RB. I think Meachem will do a lot more for you than McCoy will.

But yes like DBroncos Id turn down the trade it isn’t a good one. Now if you want post both starters and bench for your team and his I could and we could help you with an offer.

Well

First id make sure you have a D so don’t trade your Saints unless there is a FA D that you think is going to be really good. Id probably just keep your D.

as far as RB’s You have three good ones and ill start by saying for your roster id have Bradshaw over McCoy. If you want try and get Jeromme Harrison. Try and see if he will do either McCoy and Harrison straight up if so id take it. If he wont maybe you can trade McCoy and Washington for him if they will do it. I think either of those options are good for you.

WR seems to be your weakest point. Meachem is though your second or 3rd best WR. Both him and Garcon should be in front of Wallace (remember he wont have ben throwing to him for a minimum of 4 weeks) and maybe even (Hicks)(SP?). You could try and get Bowe or Morgan but I wouldn’t give up Garcon or Meachem.

ADVICE: Before you go try any of these options I don’t know if anyone has done this in your league yet cause they don’t in any of mine for some reason. Id go to the players section for WR’s especially and see if they have any of the following: Collie, Gonzalez, Manningham, Cotchery, or Santana Moss.

Any of those Wideouts are better than what he offered you and I think is worth you not having McCOy, Wallace, Best, or especially Washington.

Also I think you can get a better D guy than Chaz.

anyway let us know what you do or whatnot.

Hmmm...

Well, no need to switch your back up WR’s with this guy. I’d say you need a new WR though. Offer McCoy, Saints D, and Meachem (since he’s on your bench) for Bush and DeSean if you can. Might be asking a bit but if he really wants that Saints D and Meachem, he might pull the trigger. As of now, both your WR’s are not even the #1 guys on their teams, which you should change ASAP. Britt isn’t that guy for the reasons I said above.

And for your D, just use the waiver wire and look for good matchups and mix and match from there. Rarely are D’s consistent in fantasy unless they’re like top 3 (which the Saints is not). If you can pull that trade off, let me know.

BTW, if you could tell us which specific player or D he is looking for, we could help you out more. But with the info you gave try my idea and see how he likes it.

And one more note: it’s Hakeem Nicks. I think he’;ll be very good this year but he shouldn’t be your top WR.

yep on the wide out stuff.

Depends...

If you are in a PPR league, I think McCoy will be pretty valuable. If not, getting a guy like Wells who could miss a few games but is going to be more of a feature back isn’t a bad return.

Let the beasting begin.

Alright have been offered a trade!

Chris Johnson for Miles Austin and Frank Gore…what are your thoughts?

Also I have made an offer ona 3 way trade in Which…

I give: Chris Johnson/Chad Henne
I Recieve: Miles Austin/Frank Gore/ Joe Flacco

Then I send: Shonn Greene and Joe Flacco for Rashad Mendenhall…thoughts?

wow... take the CJ2k for Austin and Gore

they’ll all do well but your WRs need a heavy revamp and Gore+Austin>CJ

the three way trade works too but isn’t as ideal… flacco easily outdoes henne but i think shonn greene and (especially) mendenhall will bust (fantasy wise)

by vitzeng on Aug 22, 2010 4:46 AM EDT up reply actions

Question did you look for those guys i mentioned?

for the top deal Which would he give for Henne? is it just one or the other like im thinking? If so id give up Henne for any of those three without hesitation. If it is how the Vitzeng said it then do that still.
I would not due the three way deal though. I don’t think green will bust so id keep him. I really don’t like Mendenhall this year.
