Should I trade Michael Turner for Jay Cutler?

Question

My team:

QB Rivers

WR Marshall, White, Chambers, Evans

RB Barber, Turner, Jacobs, Fargas, Felix Jones

I dont have much faith in Rivers, would like to have Cutler to complement Marshall. Should I trade Turner for Cutler? Or Turner & Evans for Cutler & Desean Jackson? Or neither!!!

Answer 1

Just Turner for Cutler.  If the other person u are trading with is seriously that stupid, just give away Turner

Answer 2

While it may seem like a slam dunk deal for some Im not sure... Jacobs & Barber will be ok for you but if one gets hurt you're in big trouble as Fargas is clearly behind McFadden and Jones might be a kickoff guy... If its worth the risk do it if not I'd hold off.

Answer 3

Rivers will be dope this year, and Turner is likely a top 15 rb...I say there is no way you make this trade, especially since you have Barber AND jones...

Answer 4

No way!  

There are 32 starting QB's in the NFL and in a 12 team league there's usually 24 or so rostered.  That means there's always at least 8 QB's available (maybe more depending on injuries and benchings).

Now there are probably 20 decent RB's in the NFL as far as Fantasy goes. (The other 12 teams use RB by committee).  Turner is definitely one of the top 20.  Jacobs is border line and Fargas and Jones aren't even starting.  If you make that trade you'll be in big trouble at RB all season.
