I've gone back and forth on this one and I'm going to go with Team A.

I think Peterson potential for huge games gives this team a slight advantage. I think with Brady coming off an injury he will be slow to produce huge numbers, leaving the gap between him and McNabb slim. I feel like Gonzalez will put up his usual great numbers but on a much better team, giving him more TD opportunities. Giving him the edge over aging Moss and his occasional big play.

Help me out:

Indi man, I have come to answer this ne for you twice already and can't pick a side. IT is really freakin close.

Team A Team B
QB McNabb << QB Brady
RB AP >>>>> RB Beanie Wells
RB Ronnie Brown = RB Ronnie Brown
RB Ryan Grant = RB Ryan Grant
WR Colston = WR Colston
WR Braylon Edwards = WR Edwards
TE Tony Gonzalez <<<< WR Randy Moss


Moss smokes Gonzo, AD smokes Wells. Brady I believe will handily outpoint McNabb but all in all, the points will be close. With having to start 3 Wr's... I would give the nod to team B. I would also likely pass on drafting Wells as my RB3.

Gotta go with TEAM A.

Moss/Brady won't be setting anymore records and I think Brady might stay healthy but wouldn't be surprised if he has some nagging pains that slow him down a bit. AP vs Wells is no contest and makes up for the 2-4pts/week lost for losing Brady and the 1-3 lost for losing Moss. It's close but I just don't think they can do it again so soon after a season ending injury. $0.02

hard as it is to go against AD I'm going to agree with Bungle and say team b by a nose

Thanks for the input everyone.

I thought it might be close, but it seems like everyone is pretty well split.

I have AP right now, and obviously is the key component for a trade involving Brady/Moss/Wells. I hate to trade away the best player in a non-PPR league, but... what's the saying about buying low, and selling high? AP is never ever going to have higher value. The $64,000 question is how long to ride the stud RB before his value takes a hit... I have no reason to believe that AP will have any less value over the next 3 years, but you never know with any of these players...

I think I will probably decline this deal and see if I can get a better offer... I'm not in a hurry! :-b



If someone else can give me a reason to not wait and to go ahead and pull the trigger on this deal, I would love to have you try and sell me on it.

I like bungle's logic...and he might be right. I like team A better. I'd keep ADP til the wheels fall off or I got an offer that just blew me away. And I'd want a proven RB in return. I wouldn't want to rely on Wells as your 3rd RB. He might be great. He might be a bust. We just don't know. How many years does Moss have left? He's 32 now. I don't think the upgrade at QB & WR is worth it. Good luck! ;-D
