Trade to get Big Ben?

Postby Igrant222 » Wed Nov 04, 2009 9:07 pm

This trade was offered to me:
I'm getting Ben Roethlisberger for Desean Jackson and Shonn Greene.

Is this trade something I should do? Why or why not?

Starting Positions: QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, RB/WR, TE, K, DEF
This is not a PPR league.

My team:
Jay Cutler
Kurt Warner
Desean Jackson
Wes Welker
Miles Austin
Roddy White
Ray Rice
Thomas Jones
Shonn Greene
Steven Jackson
Knowshon Moreno
Tony Gonzales
Laurence Tynes
GB DEF
Miami DEF

you need an upgrade at Qb but what sucks is that you have 2 qbs already that are not great starter but too good to drop i would try to take one of them and offer them either with Green or Jackson to get Big Ben rather than both Jackson and greene together. You dont need 3 qbs!

Can you please help me with mine??

No, don't trade. You don't need help at QB as the 2 you have are sufficient. Getting rid of Jackson would hurt your WR's though. This hurts your team, not helps it. That's opposite of what you want to get out of a trade.

You have a solid roster. I am not certain of the upside of this trade for you. Big Ben is having a good year, but D Jax may be the most explosive player in the NFL at the moment. Nearly all of his touchdowns are big plays, and he has 6 before the half way point (including returns). He could easily total 12-15 TD's this year, which is huge (and in non ppr leagues, really huge in terms of production from WR). I think you may be able to sell higher if you are looking to trade.

Good luck.

No way I make that trade. I don't think the upgrade at QB is near enough to lose D. Jackson. He's the most dangerous man in football, and I would keep him for sure.


help?
