My FF team: Need an opinion

The Commish · September 1st, 2005, 02:56 PM

Starters

QB - Jake Delhomme (Carolina)
RB - Priest Holmes (Kansas City)
RB - Clinton Portis (Denver)
RB/WR - Kevin Jones (Detroit)
WR - Michael Clayton (Tampa Bay)
WR - Donald Driver (Green Bay)
TE - Jason Witten (Dallas)
D/ST - Panthers
K - David Akers (Philadelphia)

Bench

QB - Carson Palmer (Cincy)
RB - Cedric Benson (Chicago)
RB - TJ Duckett (Atlanta)
WR - Rod Smith (Denver)
WR - Charles Rogers (Detroit)
TE - Doug Jolley (NY Jets)

I know there is a separate forum for this stuff, but this board gets a lot more attention. Someone in my league who is a Redskins homer offered me Marvin Harrison for Clinton Portis. What would you guys do given my current roster. I'm tempted to stand pat given the importance of RB's.

Also, who would you guys start at QB, Jake Delhomme or Carson Palmer? I think Palmer is going to have a breakout year, but Delhomme is proven though minus the usual assets at WR.

Input would be much appreicated. Thanks!

Palmer over Delhomme. If you get points for receptions, your trade is all right, but if you don't, Portis should be a little more valuable, depending on who you can pick up on the waiver wire as a #2 RB for the first half of the season (Kevan Barlow?).

EDIT: Oh, you have Kevin Jones. He's a quality #2. If you can get a guy like Barlow or William Green to get you through the first quarter of the season as a flex guy, you'll be good.

That's a nice draft...

Who's his QB's? Can ya maybe do a package deal, Portis and Delhomme for harrison and a better QB?

Delhomme/Palmer is a fantastic QB combo. It lets you play the matchups.

Don't trade Portis for Harrison. Portis had 1300 yards rushing on a bad year. He is a total value pick this year.

What I would do is wait a couple weeks for when people are desperate for RBs and then you can turn Cedric Benson, who will be starting by week 3 in chicago, into a very good WR.

One of the bonuses to having Witten on your roster is that he is like an extra WR.

I would do the trade, and if Mike Anderson and/or Stephen Davis you could pick them up in free agency...I am in 5 leagues and they were available in all 5, I have also Picked up ricky williams in all of mine, after week 4 he will be a stud
