mjdgoldeneye Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 [QUOTE=i effin rule;299268]I'm in a bit of a pickle it seems. I need one more WR or RB to fill out my team for the week. The problem is, I don't have anyone left I can cut to add someone. So, I've come to the decision, a hard one. I'm offering up Marvin Harrison or Calvin Johnson for trade. I would certainly prefer to get a WR in return, and it needs to be a suitable replacement for either that can play this Sunday. If anyone is interested toss me a trade and I'll take a look at it.[/QUOTE] This is a horrible idea. It's definitely better to take the (possible) loss than trade away one of your key players. Would an NFL team trade one of their starters for a "suitable replacement" because they miss a week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not stupid. But if someone is willing to give me equal value, then why not? I've won several fantasy football championships and certainly do not subscribe to "it's ok to lose one week" especially when I've already lost 3. I like to think I'm a smart player but you are implying that I'm willing to trade off Harrison for any ol' WR who's playing this week, and that's absolutely not the case.

mjdgoldeneye Posted October 10, 2007 Author Share Posted October 10, 2007 Crayton may not be the best choice of "meh" guy seeing as how he's played recently, but whatever. Edit: Indeed, Crayton has 50 points, almost twice that of Harrison or Johnson, and 13th overall! I made a trade offer, and if my choice of player seems too "everyday blah", take a look at my roster, I can be flexible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should just take the loss this week and move on. I'm sure your opponent wouldn't mind, whoever he is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjdgoldeneye Posted October 11, 2007 Author Share Posted October 11, 2007 I'm 1-4, and I'm facing a 4-1 guy, and I projected to win by one. That doesn't mean much, but it gives me some confidence... I'm starting 4 Eagles on Offense, so if McNabb is Mr. Potato Head again, I'm dead. I'm hoping for the Liontamer, and against NYJ, it's possible... (Especially with Westbrook AND Smith playing again, finally!) I doubt I'll be a play-off team, but I think I'll be able to manage 6-8 wins if everyone decides to play as good as they have shown they can...

At least he went to a fellow Vikings fan. EDIT: And to think the Vikes ALMOST pissed that wonderful performance away -- no way that game should have been decided by a last second FG.

Wallbanger Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 As for me, I'm dealing with the bye week from hell on all my teams, how I managed to pull this off with three different teams and drafts I have no clue, but I am suffering mightily in all of them. I figure I'm gonna need about three passing touchdowns from Eli Manning to Plaxico Buress Monday night in order to have a prayer of surviving this week. If it happens, I'll look brilliant in trading for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nZane Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 It's worth mentioning that in addition to Adrian Peterson this week, my opponent also has MJD. I had Griese starting for a bye-week Kitna and Housh back from his bye week and those two have given me a fighting chance. Although, I'm also taking on Randy Moss, so I can really get bent over and taken from behind in very short order... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nZane Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 And Romo goes three-and-out to start the game. This could get painful in a hurry... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjdgoldeneye Posted October 15, 2007 Author Share Posted October 15, 2007 It looks like I righted the fantasy ship with a 100 point game... If Brandon Jacobs can score 9 points (likely, if he doesn't get injured...) #12 will beat #1! My team in this league looks like a bunch of scrubs, and IDK what happened to cause such a brain fart that left my team like this, but it seems to be working ok! Also, in my other league (a 2-0) start) I'll be improving to 4-2 this week! [B][U]Hilarious Story of Confusion and Shame:[/U][/B] A guy in my other league, who is one of my friends, and not an uber football buff, scored a freakin' ridiculous 194 points. No typo. 1... 9...4...! His starting roster: Tony Romo (17 Pts) - One of the highest scoring players this fantasy season. Joey Galloway (15 Pts) - Good game, serviceable player. Braylon Edwards (24 Pts) - Can someone explain why the Browns' passing game is looking like Indianapolis lately? I have Anderson (who was a free agent until I picked him up last weekend), and he scored a lot for me too! T.J. Houshdfdjfshfj (26 Pts) - Ahh! Adrian Peterson (40 Pts) - Sleeper!!! Maurice Jones-Drew (29 Pts) - I owned him, and dropped him. He had a bad early season, and now I'm sad. (Not really, I'm doing good...) Tony Gonzalez (22 Pts) - AHHH! TE??? John Kasay (15 Pts) - AHHH! K??? Tennessee (6 Pts) - The weak link... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterHilton Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 I'll be rooting pretty hard for you. I'm .500 after an 0-3 start and if you win, I'll only be a game out of first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallbanger Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 So will I for that matter, if I can pull out a win tonight (Two TD passes from Eli to Plaxico is all I need!) and IDT loses, I stand atop the standings. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallbanger Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Aaaaaah. Good to get that taken care of early. Two passing TD's for Eli and one receiving TD for Plaxico. Now hand one off to Brandon Jacobs and all will be right with the world (at least in this league). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallbanger Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Are we actually going to end up with a TIE? If Jacobs doesn't get back in the game and get a few more yards Quahog will only tie Irish Drinking Team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarkenGudstuf Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 ah damm Brandon Jacobs, at least a tie is better than a loss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjdgoldeneye Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 I can't catch a break... Even with random irrelevant supportfrom fellow managers, Jacobs can't get 4 freakin' more yards! Well, Chris Chambers has been traded to San Diego in what is probably the worst idea ever by a pro spots team (maybe not, but still silly). Pro Bowl WR and 1 of 2 remaining decent offensive players for a 2nd round pick (probably 26th-28th overall in the round...)... I benefit, and so do my Chargers! I hope I can go at least 4-10-1 now!

PeterHilton Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 God bless that SOB Bill Belichick. His team is up huge in the 4th. Miami scores a meaningless TD by intercepting the back-up. So Bill puts Tom back in and he proceeds to throw a totally unnecessary TD to Wes Welker. Welker's 2nd of the day. Thank you Bill. Thank you for your douchebaggery.

Wallbanger Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Hey Peter, you haven't cursed anyone for not letting you have Adrian Peterson this week. :) First drive and he's picked up a rushing TD already. Even sharing carries with Chester Taylor he's going to score boatloads of points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
