Answer 1

I would do it westbrook is a beast and holmes will do good this season.  But it is a risk beacuse you have backup Wr but no good backup Rb so be cautions westbrook is very injury prone.

Answer 2

Westbrook and Portis both have durability concerns.  Westbrook is projected to be better than Portis, but Colston projects much better than Holmes.  If you are in a PPR league, pull the trigger on this trade.  Otherwise, this is really pretty even to me and you should go after the player YOU want.  If Westbrook is a "gotta have" player to you, then you can be happy knowing you didn't give up too much.

If it were me, I'd just sit tight.

Answer 3

It highly depends on the bench player you give him. I'm going to guess he's going to demand Garrard or Cotchery, in which case I would say no deal.

Ben Obomanu is too much of an unknown to have any trade value and Reggie Williams just had arthroscopic knee surgery and is out for 4 weeks. Bradshaw is in a committee and doesn't have much value. Mason could be a possibility, but it's up to him if he even wants Mason. My guess would be no.

If you are forced to give up Garrard or Cotchery, I would say no. They both have high sleeper potential to protect the bust potential in Derek Anderson and Dwayne Bowe.

Answer 4

No way, you would be killing your receiving corps.  I would however look at dumping Mason or Williams to pick up an up and coming rookie RB such as Stewart, Forte, Kevin Smith, etc.

Answer 5

I wouldnt do it.  

Answer 6

Id make the trade. Just don't give up David Garrard. Brian Westbrook is gonna own like he always does so that's just gonna pile up the points. Not to mention he is a better back than Clinton Portis and also doesn't have the injury issues like Portis. Worth the trade i think.

Answer 7

I think this is good for you. Westbrook will do better the Portis. I'm almost 99% sure of that. Colston is better now then Holmes but Holmes should have a breakout season and but up decent numbers. And you can just throw in Williams cause I think he got injured.

Answer 8

No way! I would not do this trade. Marques Colston is way better than Santonio Holmes and Clinton Portis is still a top 5 Fantasy RB. You have a very strong team; PLEASE DO NOT MESS IT UP. All of your starters are in the top 20 at their positions. I love this team.
