Would you do this fantasy football trade

[Moranis]

Would you give up Grant, Portis, and Steve Smith (Giants) for Maurice Jones-Drew, Willie Parker, and Santana Moss (or Kevin Curtis)?  I already have Michael Turner, Reggie Wayne, and Percy Harvin, so after inserting Jones-Drew, I would need just one other starter position in which I could go with Larry Johnson, Jamal Lewis, Brandon Marshall, or the other two guys I get in the trade.

My hesistation is that the Jax line is so bad I'm not sure if Jones-Drew is going to stay healthy or get enough TD's to make it worthwhile, though I do believe he is the best player in the trade.  I'm just looking for others thoughts.

[Roy Hobbs]

I would pass on that one.  Arguably, you're giving up three of the four best players in the deal.  I think Jacksonville is going to struggle on offense all season, meaning MJD will be limited.

I think you're better off with Turner/Grant/Portis as your top three running backs / flex players, rather than Turner/MJD/Johnson.

[Rondo2287]

Agreed, Also I think Moss is a big name but overrated in terms of fantasy

[MBz]

I wouldn't make it.  I think you'll see Mendenhall start to get most of the touches in Pitt within the upcoming weeks, simply because he is producing when he is called upon and Parker is not.  Also, Steve Smith is turning into a fantasy starter, I believe he is currently tied for the league leaders in receptions and will probably continue to be Eli's #1 option.  Moss hasn't done much in the first two games and neither has Curtis.  Jones-Drew would be nice to have, but I think your team is better off as it is.

[Moranis]

My hesitation on not declining right away is I think Marshall is going to start performing like last year and will replace Portis as a starter at some point and thus I would essentially be trading MJD for Grant, which is a good deal.  If Marshall doesn't kick it into gear I would be screwed though.

I always considered Parker and the receiver as throw-ins, so I wasn't putting any value in them in the trade making it essentially a 3 for 1.

First question is how small of a league is this?  8 teams? 6?

Second, I would say no.  MJD will be better than he has been, and he is probably the best player in the deal.  That being said, he probably wont be that much better than Grant.  Portis is much better than Parker.  Steve Smith (giants) will be returned to next to nothing in the future, so you gain there as Moss will outpoint him, but I think the RB's ends up setting you back to far.

12 team league.

I'd pass on that too.


Turner/Portis/Grant is a pretty solid 1-2-3 punch.

If Marshall picks it up, I'd start him over Harvin, most likely.  I think Portis will out-perform Harvin over the course of the season.

12 team league.

Wow, either great drafting by you or very curious drafting by your competitors to assemble that team in a 12 team league. turner, grant, portis, Larry Johnson, Lewis at RB.  Wayne, Harvin, Marshal at WR.  That has the potential to be pretty ridiculous for a 12 team league.  Nice Job.

Not to hijack, but it's a trade offer so I figured I'd put it here:

Team A offers:
Anquan Boldin
Carnell Williams

Team B (me) gives up:
Steve Slaton

I'm not sure whether to make this move - I'm still up on Slaton despite the poor start, but Boldin is a clear upgrade at WR (I have Roddy White, Breaston, Harvin, and Lee Evans as my top WRs) and Williams looks like he'll get a lot of touches if he's healthy.  My other RBs are Chris Johnson and a grab bag of part time guys (Felix Jones, Buckhalter, Mike Bell, Mendenhall) that I've been using situationally.  Thoughts?

standard scoring? how many WR's do you start?

I believe it's standard, we get .5 points per reception, 1 pt per 10 yards, etc.  3 starting WRs, 2 RBs, 1 flex.

You're getting a lot of value there, and Mike Bell/Williams should provide enough to replace what Slaton was giving you, even with an assumed improvement from him.  I'd take the deal.

[Rondo2287]

If you get points for receptions I would definitly do the deal
