If this is a PPR league, very bad trade for you.

Not a PPR league, ESPN standard scoring...

I still don't make this trade. If Garrard is on the wire, I snap him up instead.

Garrard is on the guys team that I am trading with... The waiver wire has nobody and I need a solid QB. You don't like McNabb this year?

I like Mcnabb but I would not trade Ward and Welker for him.
I think you need Welker based on your WR crew. Ocho-nutso and Berrian run hot and cold. Welker is consistant.
I'm not sure how you would approach this trade, the other guys team is SOLID. He does not seem to need anything.

I definitely feel that I can do that trade because I am strong at RB and I want to start Ochocinco and Berrian at WR so Welker is dispensable as well...
You're right, Berrian and Ocho do run hot and cold, but I would rather run hot and cold at WR then at QB.
Also Ward's value took a hit since I've drafted him because it's been announced that he is in a RB committee in TB. I want to get rid of him.
After the trade I could add Kevin Curtis or Jeremy Maclin, Chris Henry, Joey Galloway, Earl Bennett, or David Clowney (who I've like A LOT this preseason).
The other owner has agreed to this trade, but I think he wants to make it a 3 team deal so he can get Matt Ryan.
Thoughts?

I like McNabb but I would not give up Welker as that would leave you way too thin at that position. Favre does not get a bye until week 9. You should be able to get someone for that week or Cassell will be back by then.

Welker and Mason put up the same numbers last year, fantasy-wise.

You think Favre is a viable starter this year? I would feel better if I had McNabb, I think he could finish in the top 5 this year, and that way Cassel and Favre could be on my bench and if either of them is a bust it wouldn't hurt me as much...
