Trade Advice

What do you guys think of this trade?

Drew Brees, Julio Jones, and Alfred Morris

for

Cam Newton, Jamaal Charles, and Tavon Austin

Who is getting the better deal? I offered Drew Brees and Julio Jones for Cam Newton and Jamaal Charles straight up. They wanted more compensation. So going to the fantasy gurus here.

[Discuss Thrower]

Brees > Cam
JC > Julio
Morris > Austin.


Don't do it.

Cam was a huge disappointment for me last year, and I think he will be even worse this year.

While Jamaal should continue to get tons of touches, RBs are so much more injury prone than WRs and especially QBs that it makes it tough for me to give up a lot to get one.

I can't believe this is even a question,

"Should I trade three Top 25 guys for JC and two late rounders?

[Nirvana58]

So it sounds like it was good to give caution to that trade. So would Drew Brees and Julio Jones for Cam Newton and Jamaal Charles been a bad deal also? I usually don't trade but the oppurtunity for Charles had me intrigued.

Yes.

The only reason you're even considering it is because you're a Chiefs fan.

What does the rest of your team look like?

Is this a ppr league or standard scoring? Also is it 4 Points for QB TDs or 6?

[Nirvana58]

It is a 10 person league and I was lucky enough to pick last.

QB--Drew Brees, Philip Rivers
RB--Doug Martin, Alfred Morris, Toby Gerhart, Stevan Ridley, Carlos Hyde,
WR--Julio Jones, Andre Johnson, Emmanuel Sanders, Dwayne Bowe, Jordan Matthews, Justin Hunter, Kenny Britt
TE--Vernon Davis, Eric Ebron, Ladarius Green

1 QB
3 WR
2 RB
1 TE
1 Flex
1 D
1 K

Points-- Passing Touchdowns 6, Rushing Touchdowns 6, 1 points every 25 passing yards, 1 points every 10 rushing yards. Everything is pretty standard except they added .25 points per carry.

Since it's not a ppr I feel it's not even close. Way too much to give up for JC.

[Nirvana58]

Thanks for the help guys. I shot down the trade. Any advice based on my roster. I feel like I am a little weak at RB and some of my Wide Recievers are Boom or Bust. Eventually before the season starts I am going to have to drop 2 more players and add a Defence and a Kicker.

[DTLB58]

IMO, you don't need 3 TE's.
Also, I would equal out to 6 RB's and 6 WR's instead of 5 & 7.

I like the Hunter and Britt picks.

As sexy as Ebron seems, I think I'd let him go and keep the other two. Find another RB.

Is this a keeper league?

Probably the most important questions to ask along with, which I rarely ever hear, is this a Keeper league?

I'm only in keeper leagues. I hate one and done.
