Trade LT for..Welker/??

Postby KHowe » Fri Aug 28, 2009 7:23 am

A guy in my league wants to trade for my Ladanian Tomlinson. It's a PPR league, and I'm new to these, so I'm not sure if I'm making the right move. I know I'd like to get Welker in the trade due to his high reception amount. Who else should I go for?

I realize I dont have a second QB, I am planning on going with a WW claim for one.

My team:

QB Tony Romo, Dal QB
RB Michael Turner, Atl RB
RB LaDainian Tomlinson, SD RB
WR Brandon Marshall, Den WR P
WR Bernard Berrian, Min WR P
TE Chris Cooley, Was TE P
OP Lance Moore, NO WR P
D/ST Eagles D/ST, Phi D/ST
K Nick Folk, Dal K

Bench Larry Johnson, KC RB
Bench Steve Breaston, Ari WR P
Bench Muhsin Muhammad, Car WR P
Bench Rashrd Mendenhall, Pit RB
Bench Dominic Rhodes, Buf RB
Bench Miles Austin, Dal WR
Bench Brent Celek, Phi TE P

His team:

QB Jay Cutler, Chi QB
RB Matt Forte, Chi RB
RB Derrick Ward, TB RB
WR Wes Welker, NE WR P
WR Terrell Owens, Buf WR P
TE Visanthe Shiancoe, Min TE
OP Ahmad Bradshaw, NYG RB
D/ST Dolphins D/ST, Mia D/ST
K Rian Lindell, Buf K

Bench Lee Evans, Buf WR
Bench Carson Palmer, Cin QB P
Bench Ray Rice, Bal RB
Bench Nate Burleson, Sea WR
Bench Joey Galloway, NE WR
Bench Ricky Williams, Mia RB
Bench Ramses Barden, NYG WR

Thanks in advance.

You probably should stand pat. Assuming he wont give up Forte, your downgrade from LT to Rice or Ward would be far larger than you upgrade from berrian to welker. Don't get me wrong, Welker is a stud in a PPR league, but LT can be also.

Agree you should not do this trade. The drop off from LT to another RB on his squad except for Forte (which I assume he is not trading) is way too big for the difference between Welker and Berrian.

I wouldn't make this trade. Just sit still.
A win next week and all is forgotten.

another vote for not trading. even with his turf toe making last year an injury-plagued season, LT was top 5 in PPR running backs. imagine what he can do healthy.

good luck!
