Big Fantasy Football Trade...need some input!!!

[PlayerHader]

I need some outside opinions so I don't totally screw up a good team.

 

I have Peyton Manning

Reggie Wayne

Braylon Edwards

Greg Jennings

Maurice Jones-Drew

Kevin Jones

Todd Heap

 

and some backups...Ahman Green, Ryan Grant, Bobby Engram, Jeff King

 

I need to start 4 RB/WR, with at least 1 from each position.

 

I am trying to upgrade TE. Heap has been hurt, supposedly should be back this week. I have a chance to get the top TE, Antonio Gates. I threw out Heap and Jones-Drew at him. He said he'd accept. Am I totally nuts to offer this? I like the consistency Gates offers at TE, so I could take the lumps of starting 3WR a bit more. Good deal?

 

Should I offer Kevin Jones instead? What do you say?

Try and get a lesser player back like a receiver or RB that is on his bench so youre not replacing through waiver wire.

 

ps you're gonna get a Lambeau Leap warning.

[PlayerHader]

Oops..forgot about the LL thing. I just thought of this board right away when I was looking for a quick response.

[Houlie24x]

I wouldn't do it. When Heap is healthy he is only about a point or two worse per week.

[Big Reed]

go for it. I'm not a big fan of either heap or Jones - Drew or the other Jones for that matter. heap isn't close to gates i n fantas y terms, and a lot of matches are decided by less than 5 points making you want to have gates on your side.

 

if you act fast, you can pick up priest Holmes or Miami's Chatham or TB's grahm to fill the void of the loss of Jones.

 

there's a thread in the trade proposals about creating new forums. is it time yet to put in my annual request for a fantasy forum? I can't believe those two softball forums are used year round. .

[PlayerHader]

I made the deal. Gates is by far the best TE in the league, with only Witten being a close second when taking consistency and performance into account. I get to start Greg Jennings every week now, and he has actually outperformed MJD this season (I don't expect that to be the case in the end necessarily). I just figure my net gain will be good by picking up Gates.

 

Also, I got tired of reading after Wednesday practice that Heap was probably going to play, then having to scramble for a backup plan when it didn't work out.

[pitchleague]

is this a PPR league? If it is, then I would probably make the trade, although with Ahman Green injured you may need Jones-Drew.

[PlayerHader]

I don't know what PPR means. I need to start 4 RB/WR with at least 1 from each position.

[ryne100]

point per reception = PPR

[PlayerHader]

Oh, nope. Just 1 pt. per 10 yards rec/rush. And 6 for TDs plus distance bonus points.
