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?

Who are your other WRs?

DJ Hackett and Greg Jennings.

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

Do it.

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.
