slothrop Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 My team is weak at WR. Currently I am starting Brandon Marshall, Donald Driver, and Mike Thomas. I am strong at RB with Rice and McCoy. I have been offered this trade: Ray Rice and Cam Newton for Andre Johnson and Mark Ingram. A few more details. We are a 12 team keeper league. To keep a player you have to give up a draft pick two picks above where the player was chosen last season. So, for example, I drafted Newton in the 13th round so I would have to give up an 11th round pick next year to keep him. Ingram can be kept for a 5th round pick. At RB, if the trade were to go through, I would have to start Helu or Ingram. I have Josh Freeman and Sam Bradford at QB. Should I pull the trigger given my poor WR's?

The Saints run a Pats-syle offense (lots of passing, multiple backs) so Ingram is not a feature back. Plus, he's been just ok thus far. I wouldn't want to start him outside of a bye week. Newtown might be your best QB (at least from a fantasy perspective), so giving up him and Rice (who is dominant, esp in a PPR league) is just too much for Johnson. Maybe if he offers you a true starting RB plus Johson I'd consider it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Rice and Bradford for Johnson and Hightower (I have Helu) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlegm Alley Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I wouldn't do that trade either. You are dealing from a position of strength with your two RBs. For one of those guys (Rice and McCoy), it would have to be for a #1 WR and at least a decent #2 RB like Hightower, Fred Jackson, or Felix Jones. Use Cam Newton as trade bait to strengthen your WR Corp. He should fetch a #1 WR to a QB weak team no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
