i say that is a pretty good trade u r getting a good ending and so is the other team

Answer 2

In a keeper and a regular league you make this trade.  Roy Williams numbers should go down without Mike Martz.  Driver numbers should go down without Favre (we think).  T. Jones should improve over last year, (better line, but still QB situation exists).  Davis has QB situation.  

On other hand Jones-Drew should improve over last year (less carries for Fragile Fred), Forte has the starting job, Welker will get you a ton of yards and receptions.  Not sold on Ryan though, it may take him several years before he is worth anything.  

Overall I would say definetely take this trade.  Elite RB are far more valuable then any other postion.  Overall you get more talent and it makes your team much better.

Answer 3

If he accepts that trade, he is an idiot.

Why is Matt Ryan even in the mix? He has no chance to achieve fantasy relevance this year, especially for niether of you. You already have MANNING and BULGER. what do you need a rookie QB on a bad team for? He, already has Palmer and Cutler, another solid combo. Ryan is irrelevant in this deal.

Kickers are a dime a dozen, why is Crosby even in the mix? why do you have a 2nd kicker?!?! wasted draft pick on your part.

so, your trade is basically you giving Williams, Jones, and Davis for MJD, Forte, Welker

Welker > Williams

MJD > Jones

Forte > Davis

Welker is far more fantasy relevant this year than Williams because Martz is out of town. Another down year for the Lions. Welker however will continue to see high production coming from Brady and by flanking Randy Moss.

Maurice Jones Drew is worth more than Thomas Jones by a wide margin. We;re talking about an average 3rd round pick vs. a 5th or 6 rounder in a 10 team league.

Forte is valuable to you, because he gives you a presumed solid RB3, Davis is valuable to him because he lacks a true TE1 (Crumpler has upside however) This trade cancels itself out.

If he takes this trade, youve certainly won.

Answer 4

You get the better end of this deal.Do it.

Answer 5

It is a good trade because you're getting jones-drew and welker. Those are promising guys in point racking and you're only really losing donald driver who won't get many points this year with aaron starting now. Plus, you have peyton, peterson, and portis. You've got a beast team right there. Good luck in your league.
