ADVICE: Burress for Jones?

Zanshin · August 19, 2004, 04:04:38 PM

Hey, in another league I have a trade offer that I'm considering. Keep in mind that the way the draft fell, I'm a little weaker than I'd like at RB. We start two and I have a bunch of question marks (M. Bennett, K. Jones, L. Suggs). I've been offered T. Jones for P. Burress.

I think Jones could have a breakout year in a scheme where he should see his share of passes and carries, and I'm not sold on Burress, especially with a rookie throwing to him. So, I'm considering it...if only because I figure I can replace the production from a WR easier than I can from RB.

What's the concensus?

Uh...who's T. Jones?

Zanshin · August 19, 2004, 04:12:54 PM

lol...I'm sure he was on your 'list".

Who are your other recievers?

It's never a bad idea to move Plax, tho. Useless fantasy reciever.

Do it. Thomas Jones has looked good in preseason and it is always harder finding a starting RB off the waiver wire than a WR.

That's my thinking at this point. 12-team league.

My other receivers: R. Moss, M. Booker, L. Fitzgerald, T. Pinkston, T. Taylor. But there's some sleepers in FA I think I could do okay with, too.

No doubt, do it. But make the other guy beg first.

RomeyRome · August 19, 2004, 05:26:25 PM

Definately, do it before the guy changes his mind.

Definately do it dude. In fact, tell him the only way you'll do it is if he agrees to take Pinskton too or the deal's off.

Zanshin · August 20, 2004, 07:54:19 AM

done deal.

Sgt PSN · August 20, 2004, 11:05:35 AM

Did you make him take Pinky too?

Zanshin · August 20, 2004, 11:25:45 AM

lol...nah.

Sgt PSN · August 20, 2004, 11:58:55 AM

Then you got screwed.
