Should I Trade TO for Brian Westbrook?

Question

I already have 2 solid RB's Adrian Peterson and Larry Johnson..and My WR's are TO, Chambers, and Santonio Holmes. Should i trade TO for Westbrook? (keep in mind i can also trade LJ for a different WR)

Answer 1

no dont do it if you do then you would be short on wr and weak dont do it u have 2 solid running backs

Answer 2

depends how ur league is set up..

if you are going to yards?  receptions? td's?

id say keep TO for ur lineup as of now...

Answer 3

Keep TO- get rid of Larry Johnson

Answer 4

I wouldn't do it because you already have AP and LJ and you would have to pick up another WR then your best receiver would be Santonio Holmes. The only way i weould do this trade is if you get points per reception then u could pick up a sleeper pick like bryant Johnson

Answer 5

1st of all westbrook is getting older, not to insult him or nothing.....but can he keep up his consisticy throughout the full season this year...? also philly is working on there passing game a bit this season so there going to probably limit the carries on westbrook....thats why Philly is yet to have a 2 RB tandom in the NFL I would Keep TO

Answer 6

Thats a very nice trade for you but then you will need two starting wr

Answer 7

YES!  You can trade Larry Johnson for a good WR.  You are getting the #2 overall player for an aging player who is a 3rd rounder in most 10 team fantasy drafts.

Answer 8

Not enough information to evaluate. Need to know how your league scores as well as your bench and who you could get for LJ. Also, hopefully you have MIN's AP and not CHI - Original Recipe.

Westbrook much more valuable in leagues that reward receptions.

If you can get Westbrook for TO and then swap LJ for maybe a Reggie Wayne or Braylon Edwards than I would do it. If not then you would be looking at having your starting WR's all projected pre-season out of the top 20.

If you can start 2 RB and another flex RB/WR position, then I say go for it and you would only have to roll the dice with two WR's each week.

In week 8 (MIN Bye week) Westbrook also plays at home vs ATL - so that looks tempting.....assuming that is not one of the week that Westbrook misses.

Age, injury-prone, contract issues all come into play here for both players. Really need to know more about your league and team but just off of the information provided, I would say you need the help more right now at WR. Keep TO, he may be a beootch sometimes, but you can't deny he can play.......when he wants to.

Answer 9

In that scenario, no you shouldn't.  In most cases, that would be a great trade because Westbrook should be a top RB this year.  But you already have two good RBs and c**p at WR besides TO.  I would hold onto him for some stability at that position.
