Question, Fantasy Gurus. Wells for Cribbs

[top dawg]

I am really wanting another RB who might break out. I have Ryan Grant, Reggie Bush, Maroney, Mendenhall, Hightower, James Davis and LeSean McCoy (who I may drop and pick up Chaz Scilens).

I was offered Beanie Wells and Michael Vick (a non factor) for Joshua Cribbs and Mendenhall.

My question is whether you think that Wells is worth letting go of Cribbs, even though Cribbs us a return man in a league where returns count. To give you a little perspective, in my league, Cribbs is projected to do about 23 points this week, and Andre Johnson, 19. Wells only 8 so far. I am thinking about doing it despite the points, because I think that I'll be able to fairly quickly get production out of Beanie in my Wideout/RB slot (but James Davis could be that guy), and that he just may be a steal. But I hate to lose out on Cribbs' production, which could conceivably fall off if Massaquoi or Robiskie take root. Cribbs is listed as the number 2, but Mangini said that he will probably rotate the three. But, a lot of good things happen when Cribbs gets the ball. I just don't know if he's worth giving up for a POSSIBLE gem.

For the moment, my other receivers are Andre Johnson, Santanna Moss and Derrick Mason. I also have Kenny Britt(who had 15 points tonight).

didnt realize its a league for return men...nevermind my last post

I got cold feet yesterday. I guess I could offer the guy a trade today. I am thinking that maybe I should take Wells, but the way my league scores return men is 1 point for every 10 yards, and 5.9 when reaching 100 (which I convinced the commissioner to change to 150 or 200 for next year), which is almost like getting 5.9 points for free. RBs score 1 point for every 5.5 yards and 5.9 when they reach 100 (and 5.9 when they reach 200). Of course both get 6 points for a TD.

Come on, guys. What do you think? With Cribbs being one of the best in the game, plus a possible regular 2WR, should I keep him, or take my chances with Wells?

This week Wells is projected to do only about 8 points, and Cribbs, about 23. Those are just projections, and only for this week. If Beanie ramps it up, he'll probably project around 20-25 a week also (for instance Deangelo is projected to do about 23 as well).

[nosuchthingasapanther]

this is almost a toss up.

if it were me, i would make the trade just for wells...even tho i believe vick will be a nonfactor this season. unless mcnabb gets hurt or stinks it up, i don't think he'll see the field except for the occasional gimmick play.

it may not happen in week one, but when all is said and done, i think wells is going to be BIG.

on the other hand, cribbs could money right now while mendenhall is dead weight.

Well. I just sent a counter proposal (he was trying to trade Wells/McClaon for Grant). Wells for Cribbs. I guess I'll see what happens in the morning if he doesn't give an answer tonight.

BTW, I did drop Mendenhallm but that was to take a chance on Meachem. Unfortunately I had to give up McCoy because I had to fill out a roster spot on the D-Line. But, I traded him away to a team who can't possibly do a whole lot of damage. I also picked up Chaz Schilens off waivers to stash away.
