Rivers vs Palmer

[ndsh]

My first post.

I have Palmer in a 12 team keeper league (6 pt per TD, keep up to 5 players - only lose # of rounds = # keepers - ie 3 keepers, 1st round = 4th). Regardless of whether he is healthy or not (a big unknown) I am concerned about Cinc as a team and do not want to go through another season like last year.

I am thinking about trading him or letting him go and trade for Rivers (6th or 7th round pick).

Is there enough of a drop off between them to warrant doing this ?

Does anyone think that Palmer will have a good season ? What round do you think he will drop to ? (ie can I drop him and pick him up in the 6th or 7th round)

thanks for your help.

If you can trade Palmer for Rivers, do it. I am very worried about Palmer's health and the loss of Housh. Rivers was a stud last year and I don't see any reason why he can't put up similar numbers. I actually expect the Chargers to pass more with the decline of LT.

thanks for your feedack.

I have a deal on the table of 'Rivers for a 6th round pick' - (other team is QB heavy and needs to get rid of Rivers). I am looking to trade Palmer for a 7-9th round pick - but if there are no takers I plan to drop Palmer .

I think there is a huge gap between the 2. Palmer hasn't done anything in a couple of years. Rivers seems to get better every year.

I would try and trade for Rivers. Easy division = big points.
