I have been offered Orton, Marshall and Boldin for Peyton Manning, Garcon and Mike Williams . I am hurting at Wide Reciever. I am worried about Orton and having him as my QB. Orton started hot last season then fizzled the second half. Should I make this trade?
Current format is Standard. 1 point for every 10 yards receiving or rushing. 6 points for TD. This is not a PPR League.
My Current Lineup
Peyton Manning Pierre Garcon Eddie Royal Mario Manningham Michael Turner MJD Shiancoe Bironas Dallas D/ST
Bench Jamaal Charles Mike Williams (TB) Brandon Tate Steve Johnson Chris Cooley
That's tough. I'd highly consider it depending on who the other 2 players you'd be dropping are. Orton will be throwing all season long, even when Knowshon Moreno returns. He should put up top 12 QB numbers. However, that's still a far cry from Manning's current numbers. If you're that desperate for WRs, this looks decent. I might try making another deal before pulling the trigger on this one.
Orton will be throwing a lot with denvers lack of a run game. You need wr's and holding and Marshall are both pretty good. I think you lose some going from manning to orton, but you massively improve at wr. I'd do it
Orton has been solid as a QB so far and has been virtually match up proof. If you were getting any less then him I wouldn't do it, but this looks like a great trade to me. Boldin and Marshall SIGNIFICANTLY upgrade your WRs.
