is there a more equal trade, its not like im itching to trade, but if anything would make my team better im open to it, i think hes trying to take advangage of me being new though

Answer 1

I don't like this trade at all. I value Westbrook higher than Brady because he is that offense and I feel the Patriots will be  running the ball more next year. I really like Anderson especially with the addition of Stallworth and the prosect of a healthy Braylon Edwards. Fitzgerald should have a great year and Boldin is extremely upset with his contract which could impact how many balls he gets and could get him traded. Overall you have a pretty good team assuming that its  a 12 team league.

Answer 2

NO WAY. Turner Stewart and Williams at RB would not be productive. Anderson will be a good QB and Westbrook is always a top fantasy performer.

Answer 3

Don't do it. I guarantee that Brady won't have another 50 TD season. Derek Anderson is better than most people think and your getting ripped off with Westbrook for Turner. Turner has been a back-up his entire career and he'll just be an overpriced free agent bust. Fitzgerald for Williams is pretty even but Williams has been on the trade block for a while.

A better deal would be to demand Ryan Grant instead of Michael Turner. Green Bay has a young QB so they'll probably rely more on the run. If you could also get Braylon Edwards that would be a steal.

Here is my deal

Brady, Tom QB NE

Grant, Ryan RB GB

Edwards, Braylon WR CLE

for

Anderson, Derek QB CLE

Fitzgerald, Larry WR ARI

Westbrook, Brian RB PHI

Answer 4

I know you're getting Brady in this deal, but I wouldn't make ANY trade that left me with the combo Turner, Stewart, Williams at RB. You can't afford to give up Westbrook. While Turner seems to fit well in Atlanta, he's unproven as a full time guy. Personally, I'd take him on my team, but as a third receiver rather than 1 or 2. However, Atlanta is likely to be playing from behind frequently which means they'll be throwing early and often whether they like it or not. Stewart and Williams will share the load in Carolina and you've already got a bye week problem having both of them.

With Martz gone, look for the Lions to be more balanced. Williams should have another good year, but Fitzgerald should be better this year.

Answer 5

there is no way i'd do that trade.  brady is good, but not good enough to make up for losing larry fitz and westbrook.  you would be REAL weak at RB.   you are ok at QB as it is.  not worth the risk.

beware backups going to become starters.   keep in mind cedric benson and dominic rhodes (in recent history)

Answer 6

that looks like a good trade..i read every one of them...honest  all of them....and i'd have taken them..all except the Russel,JaMarcus QB OAK.   yeah, i'd have done that one different ..

lol

Answer 7

basically, the trade is brady for fitz and westbrook. you can't afford to let go both. looking at your roster, however, your team stinks. fitz and westbrook are your only dependable players. if you let the two of them go, you're screwed at both the wr and rb positions.

whatever you do, don't let go of fitz. if possible, counter offer with westbrook and anderson for brady. fitz is your only chance of having a respectable record at the end.

at rb, westbrook is your only decent player. however, he always has inflated value at the beginning of the year, because of injuries. if you can trade him while his value is high, that's better. also, every single year there's undrafted rb's that do well, usually because of injuries to starters. it is quite possible to finish decently if you hit it big on the waiver wire for rb's.

Answer 8

This must be a "keeper" league because nobody starts this early in the season!

That trade sounds good for you.  I would do it.  Tom Brady will get enough points by himself to make it worthwhile.
