I have ADP, MJD, Ocho 5, and roy williams as well starting. ESPN default fantasy rules.

If I did the trade I would have to switch from a 2 RB, 3 WR setup to a 3 RB, 2 WR one. Guess it will depend on if Calvin will have as much impact as Maroney. Palmer is better than Cutler but he is a respectable QB and I have Eli Manning to backup.

The guy also added Schleffer and Earnest Graham. I am thinking of staying put but the trade could have some reward.

  1. You should make this trade.  I think a 3RB and 2 WR set is better.  Maroney will be better than Calvin Johnson because the lions new coach won't run as many passing plays than the old one.  Also, underneath TJ and Ocho Cinco (who are both hurt right now) the Bengals receiving core is pathetic.  Palmer won't have as much of an impact this year.


  2. I would do this trade, Calvin may have impact later in the season but probabley not rite away, where Maroney will and the trade off of Palmer for Cutler isnt so bad since you do have Eli.  And if he is adding in E. Grahm who could have a solid year depending on how Gruden decides to use him.  

  3. When evaluating a trade I look at stat projections

    CJ2 - 1,100 yards rec, 200 yds rush, 8 TD's

    Palmer - 4,200 yards passing, 26 TD's, 13 INT

    for

    Maroney - 1,050 yards rush, 250 rec, 7 TD's

    Cutler - 3,400 yards passing, 250 rush, 21 TD's, 10 INT

    Based on my #'s I wouldn't do that deal. At best its a wash for you. Plus I think Maroney has a better chance of getting injured than Calvin Johnson does.

  4. I'd say no, Plamer has two great targets, and is pretty consistent while cutler is not consistent at all. Plus calvin johnson is gonna have a breakout year and will be the #1 receiver for the lions. Maroney is on a passing loaded team anyway. With brady, moss, welker, and every other receiver. I'd say no way

  5. yes: Palmer only has one reliable option to throw to Maroney is a beast and you should start Eli anyway
