Reggie Brown for A. Boldin and E James?

[fiver]

How much is Brown's production going to decline when Stallworth returns? James is useless with that o-line, so it's basically Brown for Boldin. I have to do it. I would assume that this guy (hurting for a RB) believes that the Edge will get better later this season, but i just don't see it.

 

Thoughts?

Can't you just try James for Brown?

Boldin's one of the best receivers in the game, why trade him?

LoL I would love to be in a league like that.. to bad they wouldnt allow dumb trades like that...Seriously its like trading Bernard Berian for Marvin Harrison....Its Reggie freakin Brown..Sure hes doing alright...But Boldin is doing awsome and hes a superstar... and James too.....Your acting like Reggie Brown is Torry Holt...Id do the trade in a minute if someone offered me Boldin and James for Reggie Brown...Your an insane if your the one giving up those 2 guys for one average guy

Actually, this year Harrison for Berrian might not be that one-sided. Berrian is having a great year (as a Bears fan I hope it continues). I agree with your point, though. Giving up Boldin and James for Brown is way too much. Giving up Boldin for Brown straight up, with James left out, is still way to much. If it was the other way around, Boldin for Brown and James, then it might be different.

Arizona is last in the league in rushing yards and touchdowns. That's not likely to change, IMO. The Edge simply does not possess the value he did when he played for Indy. At this point Kevin Jones, Tatum Bell, Travis Henry, and Ahman Green are all ahead of him on my squad. I'm overloaded with RBs, and I simply do not forsee being able to utilize James this season.

 

So....the trade really is Boldin for Brown. Will Brown score more touchdowns than Boldin from this point forward? That is largely the decision making factor. (1 point for every 20 yards..6 points for each touchdown)

 

BTW, this is an 8 team league...

You're overloaded with mediocre running backs. None of those are really that good.

Points aren't accumulated by being "great". Receivers must score touchdowns. I know that Boldin is the better receiver, but there are factors more important than that to consider. How many drives are the Cardinals going to sustain without a running game? I think many of you may be a bit biased after watching the Bears-Cardinals game. That was the best game that Arizona played all season...by quite a margin. McNabb is going to throw more touchdown passes than Leinart from this point forward...that is a given. Will Brown outscore Boldin as he has thus far this season?

...and what does that say about the value of James when he won't be getting many starts over these guys? That Arizona o-line is a joke.

I'm judging Boldin on his entire career. He has been dominant when healthy, and just set a record for being the fastest receiver to catch 300 passes. Brown is having a fantastic season, but his success has been over the past 7 games. Personally, I like to go with the proven guys. If you want to ride the hot hand, that's great, I just think you're giving up too much to get him- a great receiver and a sucky-but-starting running back for a hot receiver that could be great. It's a sideways move, in my opinion.

 

And by "great", I'm talking fantasy football wise. He accumulates a lot of points in my league, but we factor in yardage as well.

No, it's not like trading Berrian for Harrison. Harrison is part of a high powered offense that is likely to score many touchdowns from this point forward in the season. Yes, with McNabb producing again this season, Brown's scoring production is somewhat similar to Holt's. As stated previously, Boldin is more talented than Brown. However, this isn't a NFL trade, this is a fantasy football trade. We have to look at other aspects of the respective teams to forecast future production in games 8-16.

 

While Boldin may accumulate more yards (1 fantasy point for every 20) than Brown in games 8-16, I believe Brown will likely score more touchdowns (6 fantasy points per TD). Is Boldin going to score more TD's than Brown with a rookie quarterback at the helm? McNabb is again looking like McNabb.

 

This is a legitimate trade, IMO. James is a nobody with that o-line in an 8 team league.

 

BTW, I still haven't made a decision.
