doesn't mean they don't score fantasy points

I think some people think that players on a shitty team are useless in fantasy football. Not true. It fact some players on shitty teams are valuable. Jason Campbell is on a shitty team but has scored 10+ pts/game except for 1 game. This DOES NOT make him a bad number 2 fantasy QB (I'm not saying he's an every week starter but c'mon!). I know that QB's such as JaMarcus Russell and anyone that is the starting QB for the Browns are shitty, but you can't just dismiss a player because he is on a horrible team.

We're at the point in the season where some teams are trying to make a run (Legion, Mind, Donkey, Plague, Gestapo, Bullets) and some teams are already in the rebuilding process (Sunday, West Canaan, Neverborn, Oakton). Don't reject trades just because you think you're getting a raw deal. Just because a guy has scored 100+ pts in 8 weeks doesn't mean he will pay off in the future. If I offer you 4 starters for your 2 best players and 2 guys that shouldn't be on anyones roster, TAKE THAT SHIT! If I, or anyone else, sends a trade that has some picks for an old guy, TAKE THAT SHIT! Jesus Christ, you can't always come away from a trade thinking you screwed the other guy over, it just doesn't work that way.

I know what you're all thinking: "What an asshole. Donkey always rejects my trades and never counters. I send equal trades and never see anything back.". BULLSHIT. I reject trades that are ridiculous (i.e., any trade Oakton sends out...trust me, if you haven't gotten an offer from Oakton, you haven't had a good laugh.), and if there is a decent offer on the board, I'm more than wiling to counter. However, I'm not in "rebuild" mode, so of course I'm not offering up DeSean Jackson, Brent Celek, Matt Shaub, Aaron Rodgers, etc. I'm trying to win now, so I'm offering the best I have to give without throwing away my starters.


I assume that no one will take anything away from this blog, but I'm willing to at least waste my time typing to get a counter to any trade I might throw out there.

Stirring the pot,

Donkey
