BIG TIME TRADE -- ADVICE APPRECIATED

[Bill Lundberg]

First of all the league starts 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1 Flex (WR/RB), 1 TE, K, D

Scoring is pretty standard. 1 pt. for every 10 rushing/receiving, 6 pt TD's. -2 for fumbles.



Team 1 Roster
QB - Vince Young, Daunte Culpepper
RB - Joseph Addai, Jamal Lewis, Lendale White, Vernand Morency, Chester Taylor, Brian Leonard, Kenton Keith
WR - Chad Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Hines Ward, Ronald Curry
TE - Antonio Gates

Team 2 Roster
QB - Carson Palmer, Brett Favre
RB - Shaun Alexaner, Edgerin James, Kevin Jones, Jerious Norwood, Fred Taylor
WR - Marques Colston, Donald Driver, Calvin Johnson, Dwayne Bowe,
TE - Jason Whitten, Greg Olsen

Team 1 give up: Chad Johnson and Jamal Lewis
Team 2 give up: Shaun Alexander and Donald Driver

Which end of this trade would you want to be on?? I'm not disclosing which team is mine in order to get unbiased opinions.

Thanks!

Pretty even. I guess I would rather have Johnson and Lewis.

The risk of injury is a bit less there.

If I had any RB depth at all, I'd rather be getting Ocho Cinco

I'd take Alexander and Driver. Alexander is a bigger upgrade over Lewis than Johnson is over Driver, especially with their respective schedules (Lewis plays Pitt and Balt 2x each).

Looking at the stats over the last 3 years:

Johnson -
2006 - 87 receptions 1369 yds 7TDs
2005 - 97 receptions 1432 yds 9TDs
2004 - 95 receptiosn 1274 yds 9TDs

Driver -
2006 - 92 receptions 1295 yds 8TDs
2005 - 86 receptions 1221 yds 5TDs
2004 - 84 receptions 1208 yds 9TDs

The sweet(er) deal would be to somehow nab Favre too so you have the Favre-Driver connection since the other team gets the Palmer-CJ connection.

A RB duo of Addai-Alexander is very good.

Team 2 is crazy to give up Alexander, and be left with this atrocity:

RB - Jamal Lewis, Edgerin James, Kevin Jones, Jerious Norwood, Fred Taylor

So, if you're Team1, go for it!!

who the hell are these 2 RBs, Brian Leonard, Kenton Keith, and why are they on a fantasy team?

Welcome to fantasy football. Leonard is the starting runningback for the St. Louis Rams this week and until Jackson's groin heals. Keith is the immediate back up and insurance for Addai.

The deal has been done. It was tweaked a little but here's how it ended up.

Team 1 got: Shaun Alexander, Brett Favre, Donald Driver
Team 2 got: CJ, Hines Ward, Vince Young, Jamal Lewis

I'm team 1 and I love how this turned out. My starting lineup is now:

Farve
Addai
Alexander
Fitzgerald
Driver
Curry/White (depending on matchup)
Gates
Gostkowski
Minnesota

The only thing I lack now is depth at WR..
