Title: ADVICE: Burress for Jones?
Post by: Zanshin on 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?

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.

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.
