My Fitzgerald for his Jacobs AND Owens AND Mason?

[H00KemH02NS]

I'm trying to get some depth on my squad so I can stay strong through the whole season. I've got Fitzgerald and just don't see him repeating last year's numbers. Boldin is healthy, they're trying to run the ball more annd Warner's hip is in bad shape.

So, I put Fitzgerald on the block and one guy in my league offered me 3 players for Fitzgerald.

The league is a 12-team non-PPR league.
1 pt / 10 rushing & receiving yd
6 pts / TD

Here's the way the numbers break down:
ME
Player - Points - Variance from baseline (lowest starter)
Larry Fitzgerald WR ARI - 195 - 98

HIM
Player Brandon Jacobs RB NYG - 164 - 52
Terrell Owens WR BUF - 147- 50
Derrick Mason WR BAL- 97 - 0

Soooo, it's 102 variance points compared to 98 variance points.

Here's my roster as it is:
Matt Ryan QB ATL
Matt Hasselbeck QB SEA

Frank Gore RB SF
Reggie Bush RB NO
Derrick Ward RB TB
LeSean McCoy RB PHI
Glen Coffee RB SF

Larry Fitzgerald WR ARI
Eddie Royal WR DEN
Jerricho Cotchery WR NYJ
Muhsin Muhammad WR CAR
Domenik Hixon WR NYG

Jason Witten TE DAL

Eagles DST PHI

Nate Kaeding K SD

This trade would give me some great depth at RB so I could trade one 2nd round RB for another 2nd round WR.

I would absolutely pull the trigger on this deal.

You will NEVER get better value out of Fitz than pre-season 2009 coming off of last year.

You get Jacobs the bowling ball... late 1st/early 2nd round pick in non-PPR redrafts.

You get TO -- becomes your replacement #1 and can probably still put up some bug numbers this year for you.

You get Mason as well.... can't believe I am using Mason and upside in the same sentence, but I like the prospects of the BAL passing offense... and Mason is clearly the #1 target for Flacco.

[H00KemH02NS]

Right- I was thinking this is THE DEFINITION of "sell high"...

[Indibuck]

Right- I was thinking this is THE DEFINITION of "sell high"...

Just for sh*ts and giggles, you may want to shop Fitz around a little more to see if you can do better... but I wouldn't hesitate to take the deal as-is.

[H00KemH02NS]

Oh, and don't forget the most dreaded situation for Fitz...

THE MADDEN CURSE

[srlarson]

I would pull the trigger on this one....don't wait.....

Cut Hixon and Muhammed....and sit back.....Good Trade!!

[RWLongy4]

I like it, do it. T.O. will be productive in buf opposite Lee Evans and I love Brandon Jacobs, Mason is good depth.

[H00KemH02NS]

So here's my roster if I do this trade. Would you go to war with this?

Ryan
Hasselbeck

Gore
Jacobs
Bush
Ward
McCoy
Coffee (Gore's handcuff)
Bradshaw (Jacob's handcuff)

Owens
Royal
Mason
Schilens

Witten

Kaeding

Philadelphia

I think you should just stay put. I don't know why but that is what my gut is telling me. I don't think you need Jacobs. I would keep Fitz. You should be ok with gore, bush and ward.

God yes.

The stats will certainly fluctuate, but taking a look at what each player did last year:


Fitzgerald: 1,431 yards, 12 TD's

Jacobs: 1,089, 15 TD's
Owens: 1,052, 10 TD's
Mason: 1,037, 5 TD's


He's practically giving you the championship by giving you insane depth for one player with an injury prone QB.
