should I trade T henry for Owens?

If you're talking about giving up Henry for Owens, maybe.  Green is a bonafide starter and the only "sure thing" you have on your roster in terms of runningbacks go.  Henry is the starter for now, but McGahee will take carries and touchdowns away from him.  Chris Brown is questionable because this is his first year as the starter.  The rest are all back ups who will have to fight for significant playing time.

Runningback doesn't look exceptionally strong for you to be honest.  If Brown steps up and provides you a solid second back, then you might be ok.  But it's a risky move imo.  

Moving on to your receivers, you've got 3 solid recievers in Ward, Price and Booker but none are considered "fantasy studs".  And if Pittsburgh holds true to their word and goes back to being a running team, Ward's numbers are going to take a significant dive.  TO would definately give you that legitimate scoring threat you seem to be lacking from the reciever position.  

Honestly, I think it's a toss up at this point because your runningback situation does not look too good outside of Green and Henry.  IMO, runningbacks are more important to a fantasy squad than receivers are.  But it also depends on how your league's scoring system is set up too.  

At the same time, there is more potential with your runningbacks than with your receivers.  Brown, Dayne and Anderson all have been impressive so far this preseason which could pay dividends once the season kicks off.  

One thing is certain though.  Owens will get the ball thrown his way alot.  He will be given every possible opportunity to score touchdowns where as Henry will likely play in a reduced role this year.  So in this case, I'm going to go against my normal opinion and say make the trade.

Yes...trade him!!  What if Henry is sidelined and McGahee tears up the league...then you lose cuz Henry sits. 

C'mon man...do it!

Is this a 2RB 2WR league or 2RB 3WR league?  If it is start 3WR then I think you have to make the trade.  Otherwise, I think Chris Brown will be a good RB and has had a great preseason.  However, your RB depth stinks if you get rid of Henry.  In most leagues RB's are more valuable and more likely to get hurt so you may need that depth.

Ware is a bonafide stud #1 WR so the question is what kind of production do you expect from Peerless Price.  Booker will be the #2 WR in Miami behind Chambers.  I would do some research on Peerless Price since I haven't seen any of the Falcon's preseason games.

If it doesn't get veto'd this trade will go thru because the other guy already agreed:

I give:
-T henry
-Booker

I get:
-T Owens
-k Jones

what do u think


2 guys in my league already said they veto'd  this to prevent my team from getting better.   If 4 out of 12 veto this, it will get declined.

Kevin Jones will be a starter and you have a strong set of RB's.  Not sure about trading Price for Porter.  Den -RB - Anderson is injured and you should take a look at the waiver wire.  Strong team.

Good trade psycho!  There's a job waiting for you in the Phillies Front Office if you want it.

i missed this one... but I like your trade.

Very good trade for you IMO.  :yay

Excellent trade; however, there must be somebody on waivers that could easily replace Ron Dayne.
