Fantasy Football Advice (Week 7)

What do you guys think about this trade:

 

I give:

 

Andre Johnson

Tony Romo

 

I get:

 

Matt Schaub

Pierre Thomas

 

I'm stuggling at RB with Portis and Steven Jackson and my other receiver's besides Johnson are DeSaun Jackson and Sims-Walker.

 

I'm tempted to do this as Romo is my best option right now at QB and Schaub's an absolute stud. I'm just not so sure about Thomas right now as Mike Bell snuck the TD from him last week, not to mention I'm going to miss the heck out of Andre Johnson.

Or I have another offer:

 

I get:

 

Brady and Roddy White

 

I give:

 

Andre Johnson and Romo

I wouldn't take the first one, but the 2nd one I would take.

Same here. NO WAY on the 1st one. Yes, on the second. Getting Brady and Roddy White is a steal for Andre Johnson and Romo. White is a step down from Johnson, but not as much as the step up from Romo to Brady.

While I agree with your assessment, I need a RB way more than I need a qb. That is why I'm considering the 1st one.

You don't have to take the advice given here, but you asked for it.

 

I would not even consider the 1st trade. Who knows how long Pierre Thomas will stay healthy? Who knows how many carries Bell will take from him? What about Bush?

 

As for Matt Schaub, he has many questions surrounding him too. Will he keep playing well? Will he stay healthy?

 

No way I'd take the first trade you mentioned.

I appreciate your input halfback that's why I ask :thumb:. But everything you have mentioned has crossed my mind at one point or another. I'm still not sure what I'll do I might not do either because I have some sort of man crush on Andre Johnson.

Schaub has been the darling of many fantasy gurus, and when healthy he's a stud. Pierre Thomas is too much of a risk for me, I'd rather roll with Portis and Jackson and Romo. If the 2nd trade is still available you'd be crazy not to accept. White isn't that far behind Johnson but the addition of Brady will win you games alone plus Matt Ryan is going to pass for over 25 scores, and White will catch a third of those. AJ is better in a PPR league but he's never had more than 8 TDs, White can get you those, keep us updated.

No

 

I like Schaub over Romo, but not enough to offset the loss you'll have giving up Johnson for Thomas.

 

Or I have another offer:

 

I get:

 

Brady and Roddy White

 

I give:

 

Andre Johnson and Romo

 

This I would do in a heartbeat. Brady and White will put up more points than Johnson and Romo.

I like the first trade better.

 

Even with Brady's insane game against Tennessee, Schaub is still the #1 fantasy QB in ppg at 23.1. Brady is averaging 22.4, but that average is down to about 18 without that freebie against a terrible and injury plagued Tennessee defense. Going back to last season, Schaub is averaging 21 per game when he's healthy. That includes nine performances of 24 or more points. The only question about Schaub is whether he'll stay healthy, because when he's healthy, he's clearly an elite, top tier producer at QB. Brady is the guy who doesn't look sharp this season and has been inconsistent. I'm not sure a huge game against the worst pass defense in the league and a team that quit should erase all those doubts. Romo is around 17-18 ppg.

 

Andre Johnson has been targeted 66 times this season, tops in the league. He's about as consistent and productive as you can get at WR right now. So, any trade you make that gives him away downgrades your WR position by default. But, Roddy White hasn't been as productive as expected this year. Other than one monster game against San Francisco he's averaging 7 ppg. The Falcons run a lot and the addition of Gonzalez seems to have affected White's production. DeSean Jackson has been targeted 41 times, one less than White. The production is comparable. Mike Sims-Walker has been very productive. He's basically played 4 games and his fantasy production is 16-6-21-12. Pretty good and consistent...13.8 per game. Andre Johnson averages 13.5. Sims-Walker also gets targeted an average of 10 times per game. Second best behind Johnson. The point is this, Sims-Walker and Jackson at WR is not bad.

 

Pierre Thomas has 12 TD's in his last 9 full games (throw out Week 2 against Philly when he played a few snaps). He's still the clear lead back in an offense that scores a lot and runs a lot. There's no reason to be worried about him. Portis plays in a terrible offense.

 

The bottom line for me is whether you're comfortable moving forward with Clinton Portis. I think you upgrade two positions with the first trade and downgrade at WR, but you have a guy on the bench who can soften that blow. With the second, you upgrade QB and downgrade at WR.

 

I like the first trade better, and if I took one of the deals, that would be it.

Do you start a flex, 3 WR's, or just 2 backs and 2 WR's? That would affect my view.

I agree that this definitely affects my view as well. Also what else do you have on your team? How is your league scored?

 

I wouldn't consider the first one and think you could land a better RB than Thomas for Johnson.

 

In a vacuum I would take the second trade.
