In a 12 team league, I'm looking to upgrade. The guy who has LT made some weird/bad picks (Portis for a 3rd runningback over Chad Johnson, with 24 picks before his next pick, etc.
I was thinking of offering Turner and ether Calvin Johnson or Reggie Brown for Burress and Stover (I would take his worst player, drop them, and grab a kicker anyways, might as well make one less transaction).
His team:
QB: Eli Manning
RB: LT
RB: Edge
WR: Plaxico Burress
WR: Vincent Jackson
WR: Mark Clayton
TE: LJ Smith
K: Shayne Graham (Stover in backup)
D: Denver
My team:
QB: Jay Cutler
RB: Laurence Maroney
RB: Willis McGahee
WR: Roy Williams
WR: Calvin Johnson
WR: Reggie Brown
TE: Jason WItten
K: None yet
D: Jacksonville
I know that CJ is a highly touted rookie, but I currently have Detroits top two WR on my team (not that that is a bad thing), and a bad day by Kitna could derail two important parts of the team. Reggie Brown is a solid #3 who I think can perform as a good #2 if McNabb is healthy all year, but then again, if he repeats his numbers, then he's just a solid #3. Burress is obviously Manning's favorite target, and they should pass a lot. A quality #2 WR.
My backup runningbacks are:
Marshawn Lynch
Brandon Jackson
Anthony Thomas (Lynch's backup)
Michael Turner
My backup wide receivers are:
DJ Hackett
Greg Jennings
What do you guys think? Is it worth it to try to give up Calvin Johnson, Reggie Brown, or stand pat?

I just don't think that trade benefits you in anyway. Say no.

I offered Turner and Calvin Johnson for Burress.
I do think that its only a slight upgrade, but the big key for me is diversity. Right now, with Roy Williams and Calvin Johnson as my top 2 WRs, if Kitna has a bad day, I REALLY suffer.
Additionally, with CJ a rookie, there is a decent chance of both a breakout season, or a struggling season. I can see 800 yds, 6-8 TD from CJ and 1000 yds and 6-8 TDs from Burress.
