What do you think of this trade??

Question

OK... I know i would get rid of peyton manning but drew brees is pretty good also... i have no star wide receivers.. and i have decent running backs so losing lorence moroney wouldn't hurt me.. plus i have david garrard as backup quarter back... what you think of the trade..

I would lose

Peyton manning

Calvin Johnson

Lorence Moroney

And would get

Drew Brees

Marques Colston

Santana Moss..

I think it's perfect because i dont have any WR at all but everything else is good...

Answer 1

That's a good trade.  I would do it.

Let's break down the trade shall we:

Okay, Manning is obviously gonna put up huge numbers, but I expect Brees to put up equally impressive numbers as well.  The saints have the 4th easiest passing schedule in the league coming into the new season.  And now that he has Shockey, Brees's numbers will improve even more.  Manning may end up with more fantasy points in the end, but Brees will be extremely good as well.

Losing Johnson for Colston.  This is a no brainer, don't really need to explain anything here.

Santana Moss will probably rebound and put up better numbers this year.  You're losing Maroney, but personally, the pats throw too much for me to like him a lot, and you also said you have decent running backs to fill in.

Only thing to worry bout here is that Brees and Colston have the same bye week (doh!).  But you have Garrard as a backup, and I actually think he's capable of being a starter for fantasy, so no worry there on that bye week.

Dunno who your other WR's are, but the one week where Colston doesn't play shouldn't hurt you that much.

So overall - YES, make the trade
