Fantasy Foot Balllllll?

Question

Id be trading LT, Derek Anderson, and Bobby Engram for Brady, TO, and McFadden. Do you think I should do this Trade. I think no, but a couple of my friends said yes, what do you think?

As of right now my starting line up is....

Derek Anderson

Braylon Edwards

Roy Williams

Dwayne Bowe

LT

Brandon Jacobs

Shocky.

The league is a standard Yahoo! public league.

Answer 1

I think that is an easy one and the answer it yes.  It would be an easier answer if you had another capable RB other than Jacobs, but still when you consider that Brady is the #1 QB in all of football and TO is the #2 WR in all of football, the decision isn't that hard at all.  

It's hard to answer this question because of how your league is configured.  In a league with 4 teams you have to think that every team will be stacked to-the-hilt.  What ends up happening in this configuration is that games are largely left up to chance (because each team is equally awesome) and strategy plays very little role in who becomes league champion.  

Personally, I like to configure my leagues so that there are barely enough good players on the waiver-wire to scrape by; this creates an environment where each team has to use their heads more and strategy plays a much larger role.  To me, I get much more satisfaction from winning a league because of my football smarts and not because of which awesome team had the easier schedule during the playoffs.

If you want to read more about some guidelines for 'balanced' league configurations, check out the first link in my source list (the league information is toward the bottom).  If you want to check out a tool I created for creating your own fantasy football cheat sheets online using drag and drop, check out the 2nd link.  It would probably make preparing for your drafts much easier (and its free).

Take care.

Answer 2

I would do it.  you'd be getting the best QB in the game and one of the best wide receivers. You might be taking a chance with McFadden but this is a trade you should definitely do.

Answer 3

No way. McFadden's success in the pros is unknown. I would start Engram over Roy Williams.

Answer 4

Don't do the trade.U dont need to upgrade at WR (your good at that) plus you have the most productive rb in football ..LT. Besides a combo of Run-DMC and Brandon Jacobs is no where near Jacobs and LT.
