We have a trade to announce:
To McGibblets: Tony Romo and Vincent Jackson
To Flames: Matt Stafford and Knowshon Moreno
Well it was no secret Bry was determined to trade one of Bradshaw or Moreno and Trent Richardson be damned, he went and did it anyway. It's a good return for Bry. Jackson, despite a shaky QB situation is a borderline #1 WR in fantasy (he had a 70 yard TD called back last week after a good week 1) so to get that value for your #3 RB is a nice haul. I also like Romo better than Stafford in our league because Romo historically has a better completion percentage, although so far this year, they're basically dead even.
There is a downside here for Bry though. He has now gone from having four viable, starting running backs to just two. The good news is that tandem of Peterson and Sproles might be the best in the league. If someone gets hurt, he will be in deep trouble.
Hemrick gave up a premium player for a borderline RB2 but desperation got the best of him. At 0-2 and with injuries decimating his backfield he had to make move. Or did he? Latest reports have Bush playing this week and likely to practice tomorrow. He grabbed The Quizz to slot in for Jackson as well. Vincent Jackson has a much better match up and higher upside than TY Hilton who now slides in. Believe me, I know at 0-2 you're tempted to do some crazy things, but this is pretty nuts.
To be fair though, Moreno is in a great offense and they seem to love him, but we might've seen his best game against the Giants. Also, Monte Ball is there and his carries figure to increase as the season goes on. But the need for Hemrick is more immediate, so if Moreno features this Sunday like he did last Sunday Hemrick will feel pretty good. Although whatever points he makes up for with Moreno over Quizz, he might lose going from VJax to Hilton who has a tough matchup against the Niners.
To sum up, Hemrick might get help this week, but this will hurt him bad in the long run, and really bad if TY Hilton disappoints. This is a nice move for Bry, who didn't need a receiver, but will be happy to have VJax.
so you're saying i got the better deal? please confirm.
ReplyDeletealso - i hate tony romo
My decision was made when matthew berry said on espn that moreno will be a top 15 rb for rest of season cuz hes better at pass protection so those rookies wont play much. Quizzy is hard to trust, mjd was a mistake and reginald bush may as well be jewish cuz hes too frail to be truely black. I prob wouldnt have done this trade if i knew i was 1-1 also, but 0-2 and being in atlantic city clouded my judgement
