Its long, I give Issac Bruce, Thomas Jones and Chris Cooley for… Brian Westbrook, John Carlson, my choice of Lance Moore or Muhsin Muhammad and if he needs to sweeten the deal Ahman Green or Michael Bush. I am leaning towards yes as this would give me the remaining roster of QB - Tony Romo QB - Jamarcus Russel WR - Roddy White WR - Wes Welker WR - Devin Hester WR - Joey Galloway ( I need to drop, no one decent on waivers) WR - Randle El RB - Marshawn Lynch (Scariest picture ever on yahoo) RB - Jerious Norwood TE - Donald Lee K - Robbie Gould DEF - Chicago DEF - Arizona 14 team league. I am leaning towards yes, but Westbrook scares me if he has to miss any time. ---

Yes. Absolutely. Westbrook is a top 3-5 fantasy back when he’s healthy. ---

Yes Bruce is not going to keep it up and Westbrook will get healthier. ---

not a chance of that happening, seriously the best RB on waivers is Maroney or Pierre Thomas… Our league is so big, and I am 4-1, and in second in it that I am second from bottom for waivers… almost every single handcuff is picked up some where or another. The good thing is this is a keeper league. EDIT: Maybe andre hall, that is about it on waivers. ---

because your extremely thin at rb, and have some good recievers, it makes sense…just consider this. you say there is such a lack of rb’s in that league available, what if westbrook does miss time? Jerious Norwood starting week in week out is scary, and althought westbrook is better than jones, atleast jones is healthy and starting. not to mention, moore’s value will drop considerably when colston gets back, and john carlson/donald lee isn’t exactly a great TE tandem. So really you’d be gaining westbrooks pts, but then losing jones/cooley’s points (i’ll consider the wr’s a wash), which probably adds up to about the same anyways. no? ---

Jones only productive week was week one, the weeks since than he has given me less than norwood. Cooley’s only big number week was week five… Norwood puts up decent numbers from rushing/receiving/return yards, which I can get by with 7 or so points from him. But two players point total = one player is a huge thing, TE’s (minus whitten, fasano, gates and cooley) are almost flavors of the week. I am avoiding Moore, leaning towards Muhammad who has been about as reliable as Bruce (WR’s are not my main concern). Jones handcuff is available, I do have him on my watch list, and Jones productivity was not that great last year either, he is old and again, and not a concern… My main concern is taking the chance on westbrook’s health… but it is a keeper, therefore my three would be Romo, Westbrook, Lynch. Which I think would help me next year as well. I finagled Green out of it as well… so I finally get to drop Galloway which has been all but useless since last year. ---

I would certainly make that trade. Westbrook is money. Issac Bruce has been fairly consistent but it won’t compare to the points Westbrook can put up on a decent day, he just needs to get %100 again. Long term, I think it’s a good trade. ---
