Fantasy Football Trades

I almost had it… Almost got a team of Larry Johnson, Shaun Alexander and Frank Gore.  The guy in 1st was willing to deal Gore for a top notch WR.  I originally offered Javon Walker and Thomas Jones for Gore and Greg Jennings.  He countered with a deal to get Larry Fitzgerald and Marques Colston from me… no thanks.  I offered Reggie Wayne and Jones for the original duo.  Still didn’t bite.  So he ended up essentially trading Gore for Chad Johnson.  Not only that, but it was to the guy in 3rd place, who is tied in record with me and ahead by less than 20 points!  DOH!

I’m trying to work out a trade to get another top notch RB anyway.  I’ve got 2 great ones and 3 great receivers, but great receivers are rarely as good as great RBs.  Hopefully I can put it together for the playoff run.  I’ve got my last two games of the year against the 5th and 6th place teams.  I need wins in both games to get out of 4th place and avoid playing the 1st place guy in round 1 of the playoffs.  If I can do that, I’ll have a good chance of winning it all, or at least making it to the Super Bowl.  Here’s hoping.
