Drew Brees or Aaron Rodgers?

Postby mattdelight » Mon Aug 31, 2009 1:06 am

Don't ask me how I got both but if you were in a 10 team league where Passing TD's = 6 points who would you start?

I drafted Rodgers as my starting QB and I am currently involved in a trade that would give me Brees.

I'm keeping one and using the other as trade value to improve my other positions.

Take into consideration Green Bay's strength of schedule is 30th while New Orleans is 8th.

I know its Drew Brees but is it so crazy to consider keeping Rodgers as my starter and trading away Brees for WR/RB upgrades?

As always, WHIR.

Why are you even trying to trade for Brees if you have Rodgers???

Well I currently have Phillip Rivers on my roster right now as a back up. I was offered Brees/Slaton/Dallas Clark for Rivers/D.Will/John Carlson, and I'm considering that trade. just want to bounce some ideas before I pull the trigger.

My roster:
QB: Rodgers, Rivers
RB: D.Will, Gore, F. Jackson, L. White, D. Ward, A. Bradshaw
WR: W. Welker, V. Jackson, D. Driver, D. Hester, S. Breaston
TE: Carlson

Interesting trade but I think you are better off staying where you are and just trading Rivers or Rodgers with Carlson for a WR/TE combo. If you do it though keep Brees and trade Rodgers.

I would take that trade in a split second.

Seems to me that it's ridiculously in your favor. You get the better QB, RB, and TE.

You mention the strength of schedule for Brees and there are a couple things about that. For one, DeAngelo Williams has basically the same schedule, though it should be tougher, since they finished ahead of New Orleans. And second, have you looked at the fantasy PLAYOFF schedule? In week 15, Rodgers draws Pittsburgh. Brees has Tampa Bay that same week.
