Fair trade?

[FUSE]

I get:
Rashard Mendenhall
Santana Moss or Donald driver

He gets:
Jonathan Stewart
Marques colston or Dallas Clark

[Champ]

To me no. That second player needs to be a bit better.

[FUSE]

For my side or his

[EmpireWF]

Yeah, better than Moss/Driver

[FUSE]

he has Witten and Steve Smith(NYG) as well

[Champ]

If its a PPR change out moss for Steve Smith

[Aso]

Santana Moss is having a great year so far. I'd say go with him of all the options he has.

and I second what Champ said

[Warner2BruceTD]

That looks like a bunch of players who are all the same to me. What's the point of this trade?

[Tailback U]

I would give up Colston/Stewart for Mendenhall/Moss in a heartbeat.

You've pretty much described every FF trade I've ever seen proposed on VSN.


"Hey guys, I want to make this trade, thoughts?:

I give him
2nd tier RB x
top tier WR y

and in return, I get

2nd tier RB x
top tier WR y.

I can also get his 2nd TE if I throw in my 3rd QB. Might swap kickers out also. Thoughts?"

I am looking to upgrade rb(i.e Stewart upgrading to Mendenhall). I have quality wr on my team to lose Colston.

As of right now i have

Boldin
Clark(we play te's as wrs)
Colston
Eddie Royal

My rb's are Turner, Stewart, Felix Jones and Mike Tolbert(picked him up until Matthews gets healthy, then goin to drop him)

[Prodigal Son]

um, he's trading a back up running back in Stewart, for a starter in Mendenhall. That's basically the win right there. Receivers don't really matter to me as they are very easily replaceable.

I agree. Mendenhall gets all the carries and is a clear lead back, while if Stewart is lucky he'll get 10 carries. Colston is good, but Brees spreads the ball around so much you never know what he's going to do. McNabb likes Moss.

I wouldn't think twice about this trade. Do it!!

Projections matter, though.

You might think Mendenhall and Stewart are both "2nd tier RBs" but my gut says that Mendenhall is going to have a much better year than Stewart.

I'd say Colston and Moss are going to have similar years, so the guy getting Mendenhall and Moss is winning this trade, IMO.

Yeah, this is true. But once more and more players get added to the mix, the values get muddled.

I traded for Stewart after the draft and I want to kill myself for it. Obviously Mendenhall will outproduce Stewart this year, but it kills me how many 3-for-3 trades and 4-for-4 trades I see get proposed on VSN. It's hardly ever based on team need, it's just "match up the positions."
