Is this trade a no brainer?

Postby quikzy » Tue Sep 15, 2009 3:21 pm

Should I take Michael Turner for Reggie Wayne and Willie Parker? If I did this trade I would have to start Megatron, Hester and Gage as my wideouts since anthony gonzalez got hurt. is that hurting my depth at WR? Thanks

I would do that deal. He'll be much more valuable than Parker but expect a few games that aren't top flight games. He tends to struggle against top 10 defenses(although a lot of people do). I think the risk is worth it. You still have enough depth at WR and with A-Gon coming back in a while you should have a good idea at that point who beteen Gage and Hester is the more reliable option. Also allows you to drop Mendenhall. That's a bonus in itself.

I disagree. You're not that deep at WR and Reggie Wayne is arguably top 3 WR this year. Michael Turner is very good, but you got MJD and should just play match-ups for your RB2.

hmm wouldn't you guys think that reggie wayne's production will go down since teams will double team him 24/7 now that anthony gonzalez is out?

And what happens if Reggie Wayne goes out and catches 3 balls for 40 yards on Sunday? I fully expect Wayne to be top 7 or so but Andre Johnson, Randy Moss, Larry Fitzgerald, Calvin Johnson are the top tier. You then have the Roddy White, Greg Jennings, Steve Smith & Wayne group. I am not suggesting you'd be crazy for turning this down but I would do it. I could easily be swayed the other way. As much as I like Turner the risk with him is the Falcons tend to have more success throwing against better defenses.

DDid you forgot who is QB is? Its Peyton freakin Manning.

Reggie will have a really good year since A-Gon will be out for some of it. Majority of the balls will be going to Wayne or Clark.

I wouldnt do this deal. Reggie Wayne is to valuble to you.

I don't think his production will go down. Gonzalez was out the whole game and it didn't affect him. Dallas Clark will still take pressure off Wayne especially in the red zone. Peyton Manning is his qb and knows how to find Wayne. I don't expect it to affect him much.

absolutely not. iky's on point, plus parker is still the #1 back in did you forget??? PITTSBURG. he had a bad week against TENN. parker's going to have just as good a yr as turner i bet plus even before gonzalez went down we all knew wayne was mannings #1 target. he's going to rack up points all year man
