beuller?

what happened to all these experts?

 

[vi edit]

Toomer is out, Plax is banged up. Shockey is perpetually a "Q" on the injury list. Plus he plays Chicago this week, and still plays Dallas, Jacksonville, Carolina, and NO. Not an easy schedule for Eli and he's hurting for weapons.

Not sure what happened against Detroit, but prior to that Vick has been a fantasy stud.

Altanta has an equally difficult schedule.

I think you are losing out at QB.

You would upgrade in WR picking up Holt.

You gain nothing, but lose nothing on RB's. SA has been riding the pine since week 2, and with your other RB's Duece won't ever be used. I think SA has more upside if he can come back and be productive in the last weeks of the season. I think you lose out there.

Overall I think it's a weak trade.

How did you wind up with both LJ and SA?

I'm leaning against this trade myself.

no no no....don't do it.....you're basically getting holt and eli.....duce can't be depended on.......When alexander gets back either LJ or Alexander is good for 3 TD's on any given Sunday...

you don't really need holt...your WR are not bad especially if you are in a PPR league......you can find a QB off the waivers that will put up as many points as Eli....there are lots of QB changes right now....KC QB available....Gerrard available???........Plus Vic is startable now...depends on the match up....

the deal comes down to holt for alexander...i wouldn't do it....

Try to upgrade you DEF....your D sucks...

Actually, Minnesota's defense (in the fantasy world) is performing pretty well and getting better each week. A matchup against a turnover-prone GB team this weekend should provide a nice day for the Vikings D. I wouldn't worry too much about D but I agree that the Giants are pretty worthless.

As for the move, I wouldn't do it. With the exception of a couple games, Vick has played really well. Holt is certainly better than Bruce but you have some good WR's to fill the void. Alexander's outlook isn't promising right now but if he comes back, you'll regret letting him go. And you'd really gain very little with McAllister anyway.

If I were you, I'd look for better insurance at QB. Probably safe to say that someone in your league has already grabbed Romo but if not, I'd snatch him up. Or I'd look at Gerrard who has a good matchup this week and has been playing well. And keep an eye on the KC situation. You may be able to acquire Green if he ends up getting his job back but there are no guarantees on that.
