FANTASY FOOTBALL Trade!!!?

Question

This is a pretty big trade. I get the marion barber side.

I get:

Ben Roethlisberger

Marion Barber

Braylon Edwards

Plaxico Burress

I give:

Andre Johnson

TJ Housh

Brian Westbrook

Drew Brees

Answer 1

That is a really good trade Barber will be a really good fantasy player this season.

Answer 2

Don't do it. I think Drew Bres will have a better year than Big Ben since Ben is in a much tougher division with better cover corners, whereas Drew Brees is in an extremely weak NFC South division that has weak cover corners, plus he has a weapon better than Ben's Holmes or Ward in Marques Colston.

Westbrook will probably be the third best fantasy back this year behind LT and Peterson. He is by far the best receiving back in the league and he'll show that stat wise playing with the pass-happy Eagles. The Eagles pass so much that opponents don't expect the run at certain times and that works out to Westbrook's advantage. Barber might get more rushing TDs than Westbrook, but Westbrook will get more all-purpose yards and TDs in general.

Johnson on average is just ranked right below Edwards in receiving projections, whereas Burress is kinda far behind Housh in that category. Johnson will always get TDs because he's by far the best receiving option in Houston. Teams are so busy doubling up on Chad that Housh is left in one-on-one so other receivers can get covered as well, meaning that Housh will again have a better year than Chad and have a top-10 year out of all WRs. Burress is a great talent, but he plays with Eli Manning and gets doubled quite a bit. Eli was great in the postseason, but he has shown that he is extremely inconcistant and erratic in the regular season. Edwards is the best receiver in this trade, but not by much. He'll only to better than Johnson by less than 50 yards this season, guaranteed. Giving up Johnson and Housh to get Edwards and Burress just isn't worth it. You'll really be losing out big time on this one. Don't do it!!! I urge you!!!

Answer 3

Dont take it

Answer 4

I would lean against taking the trade. I think Brian Westbrook is the best player in the deal - he's a threat running and receiving and he's actually been pretty durable the last couple years. I give him the edge over Barber - slightly, but the edge, nonetheless.

I also prefer Brees to Roethlisberger. All four receivers are great - I like Edwards the best of all of them, but probably Housh and Johnson next as long as Johnson can stay healthy.

The deal is pretty even and not a ripoff for either side, but if I were you I would pass on the deal and stick with what I have.

Good luck.

Answer 5

I would not make the trade.  Here is how I break it down:

Brees/Roethlisburger:  Brees will almost certainly throw the ball more often than Roethlisburger.  I know Roeth. had 32 tds last year, but I think that is likely an abberation- he will be a solid fantasy QB, but I don't think it's realistic to expect a huge number of tds.  Edge: Brees

Westbrook/Barber: Westbrook will get 2000+ yards again, while Barber does not factor much into the passing game and will time-share in the running game (granted he will be the 60% portion of the time share, but Westbrook will get the lion's share of the carries in Philly).  Both figure to score about the same tds.  Edge: Westbrook

Johnson/Edwards:  I think this could be almost a total dead heat.  Edge: neither.

Housh/Burress:  Housh will probably catch more balls, for more yards and around the same or more tds than Burress.  If Chad Johnson holds out or pouts, Housh gets a lot more love.  Edge: Housh

Your team would still be strong if you made the trade, but as I have it, you have the better players in 3 of the 4 matchups and a tie in the other, so why make the move?

Answer 6

You got ripped...

Answer 7

DONT DO IT

1.Andre is a beast as long as he is not injured

2.with the Johnson-Palmer problem is most likely TJ will get the ball more than usual

3.Brian is the 3rd best halfback

4.Brees is good even though Ben has more WRs

Answer 8

Yeah that is a pretty big trade. I bet your happy..!!??

Answer 9

do it

Answer 10

It seems like an even trade to me. Westbrook is better than Barber overall, but Barber will get all the red zone touches. I think you get the better recievers and QB.

Big Ben 32 TDs         Brees 28 TD (but more yards)

Barber 14 total TDs (12 rushing, 2 recieveing)

Westbrook 12 total TDs (7 running, 5 recieving)

Burress 12 TDs                 Johnson 8 TDs

Edwards 16 TDs (most yards out of the 4)    Housh   12 TDs

Statiatically, last year the guys you are getting were better than the guys you gave up.

Answer 11

If you need receivers and have a good rb to take westbrook's place this trade can help you, but the way I look at it Brees in better than big ben. But this year could be ben's big year and he had the second highest qb rating last year. Westbrook is better than barber and the cowboy's o favors a passing offense, but barber has a good line. Andre is predicted to have an incredible season and TJ is too. Andre is better than Braylon and TJ is better than Plax. So overall it seems like the other team gets the better end of the deal

Answer 12

Pretty even trade,but i wouldn't do it.

Answer 13

Don't do it. Brees is far better than Roethlisberger. Westbrook will have more opportunities to score than Barber becuase the Cowboys have Felix Jones I think. You have to solid number 1 receivers. Don't give them up. If you go with this trade, then you can go from 1st to worst.

Answer 14

You lose this trade!

Brees is #3 QB on board for me this year.  N.O. plays a weak schedule and Brees is under-rated.

Pitt. and Roethlisberger play a very tough schedule and Pitt. is in decline.

Westbrook is better than Barber.

Houshie and Edwards are about equal.

Burress and Johnson are about equal.

Answer 15

no dont trade THIS early

Answer 16

wow tht a really good trade for u
