In my Yahoo fantasy football league, I have an opportunity to drop either Trent Green or Jake Plummer and pick up Mark Brunell. Should I do it? The 'skins should have a pretty potent offense this year, that's why I'm wondering about it. I also have three good RBs...Rudi Johnson, Julius Jones, and Reggie Bush. Should I use Bush as trade bait seeing as how I already have a couple of solid backs? I appreciate any tips.

I would think the same thing as everyone else because of the age, but Green isn't very young either. And there are some trade talks about Ashlee Lelie, so Plummer may not have a whole lot to throw to this year. Brunell is going to have quite an arsenal of WRs. I may just stick with it though. I don't know yet.

Jake Plummer just had Javon Walker added to his arsenal of WRs and Trent Green will have Larry Johnson and Tony Gonzalez to work with. Mark Brunell may still be able to throw the ball, but he is getting to where Jason Campbell will be close to or ready to take the reins for the Redskins. Hold on to both QBs and do not worry about Brunell.
As for your RBs, Bush will end up splitting more time in the backfield with either McAllister or Bennett while Johnson and Jones have a more solidifed grasp at the starting job for their team. Use Bush as trade bait, but don't be too surprised if there is not too much offered for his services.

I wouldn't do it.. I think Brunell's season last year was more of a fluke than a trend. You have to remember that Brunell will turn 36 at the start of the season, and towards the end of last season and into the playoffs that whole offense looked miserable.
Trent Green will post good numbers as usual, especially now with Larry Johnson opening up that entire offense. Jake, while I'm not a big fan of his.. is a serviceable backup and now has 2 good WR's to throw to.
I'd pass on Brunell - maybe you can package Bush and Green for a better QB .. or for a good WR.

As much as i like mark brunell I would keep who you got and trade reggie. with larry johnson Trent green will be solid, and Jake plummer has a new great TE and javon Walker. Reggie Bush will not have a great season but many people will want him because he won the heisman.

I would keep Plummer.
He will have at least 1 more good year before the new guy plays.

brunell has been injury prone and is pretty old
