Mattb47's Draft/Trade Q&A - Ask Away!

[FinPerfect72]

Hey Matt,

I have been offered Fitz and Dustin Keller for DeAngelo Williams and Matt Cassel in our Dynasty League. I have Stewart on my team already and I think eventually he will take over as RB. I need WR help bad. My top 3 are Roy Williams, Lee Evans and Robert Royal. I have 4 QBs so I can afford to lose Cassel and my RBs are Ronnie Brown, McFadden (and M. Bush), Benson and Stewart.

I am thinking about taking this trade because I think Fitz could be a top WR for years to come and Williams won't do what he did last year.

Thanks for the advice.

Note: The scoring format heavily favors QBs (no penalty for INTs) and RBs (bonus for rushing attempts), while decreasing the value of WRs.

2-team, h2h keeper league and we draft this weekend. We keep 1 QB, 1RB, 1 WR and up until this morning, I was content to head into the draft with the following as my keepers:

Matt Ryan
Chris Johnson
Anquan Boldin

In speaking to the Andre Johnson owner this morning, who traded his 2nd round pick already, he indicated that he would consider dealing Johnson for Boldin and my 2nd. Of course, I have to consider it, right?

Here's the rub...I've already dealt my 3rd and 4th round picks in deals that netted me Ryan and Chris Johnson, so my draft line-up looks like so:

1 (9th overall pick in each round)
2
5
5
6
7
8
9
10

So, if I make the deal I'd have three very good keepers, a 1st round pick, and then nothing until the 5th round.

So, I ask you, is the upgrade from Johnson for Boldin worth it? What say you?
