Should I accept this trade? (Fantasy Football)?

Question

I give him Culpepper and T. Bell and I get Trent Green and D. Foster.

Answer 1

Yes, I would make that trade...You know what you are going to get with Green. Foster should be productive barring injury. Culpepper and Bell are more question marks at this point.

Answer 2

I say no. I would keep Culpepper and Bell. Culpepper has something to prove this year and has some good receivers to play with. Trent is still a good QB. Between Bell and Foster, both are ok but their playing time could decrease once the season starts. DeAngelo Williams and Ron Dayne should get more attempts. I think Bell will have a better year.

Answer 3

I wouldn't make that trade. While T Green is a very solid fantasy guy, DeShaun Foster is a major injury risk, worse than Fred Taylor, and DeAngelo Williams will be starting in Carolina eventually. Why would Carolina draft a RB so early if they had faith in Foster? T Bell and Culpepper have more upside, and about the same risk. Culpepper to Chambers sounds just as good as Culpepper to Moss...

Answer 4

Looking at this trade, I see too many questions raised about the players. Culpepper is already slated to take the starting job when the season gets underway, and he has a good number of weapons to work with (Chambers, Brown, and McMichael for starters). Trent Green has the starting job locked up and will be working with LJ, Tony Gonzalez, and up and comer Samie Parker. Trent Green also does not have the propensity for mistakes like Culpepper does, but Daunte makes up for that with his ability to move out of the pocket and become a split second RB. Regardless, hold onto Trent Green since his upside is not riddled with questions relating to injuries.

Tatum Bell for DeShaun Foster is also questionable. Bell is not even slated to be the starter (currently, Ron Dayne is getting Shanahan's nod for the spot). This would keep Tatum as a change of pace back that gets limited carrying time. DeShaun Foster is almost guaranteed to be the starter, even with DeAngelo WIlliams present. However, Foster's durability has also come under question, which could easily leave the door open for the rookie or Nick Goings to take over.

This deal does not bode well for either league manager, so my opinion is to restructure a new trade deal if you remain interested, but other than that, just dump it and move on.

Answer 5

Yes, as many others put. Culpepper had the worst year of his career last year and who knows if he'll be better,, if he is healthy enough to play. Also, Tatum Bell will be the starter, but only while Mike Anderson is injured, once he comes back he willbe booted to the Bench. Trent Green tends to put up nice numbers on the 2nd best offensive team from last year. He has decent WRs to throw to and has Larry Johnson or Priest Holmes on the ground to help with the defenders creeping up, then he can throw that big bomb over top of them. DeShaun Foster is a great back and will be the solid starter for the Panthers, should have a great year behind a team with Delholmme at QB and WR like Smith, Colbert and K. Johnson. Definitely take it

Answer 6

I would say No.

Culpepper is healing fast...and Chambers is a good target.
Green is old and won't post the same numbers in a Herm Edwards offense. Foster is injury prone and D. Williams can steal his job...though Bell is no safe bet either.


Get a decent back up for Culpepper...pick up C. Cobbs as a deep sleeper RB handcuff for Bell. (Can't believe Dayne will be the guy)

Answer 7

Accepting this trade assumes would only make sense if you think Trent Green is going to continue being good and that Culpepper is going to continue being bad.

Green's line in KC is another year older and they have a prime running back in LJ. Their recieving core is lackluster outside of Tony G, and even he wasn't so hot last year.

Culpepper on the other hand is in an improving team with a vertical threat in Chambers. He's got a solid running game and a decent line.

I think this is a poor trade. I didn't really get into T.Bell and D.Foster because there are always a ton of guys that will produce about as either one of them will. I think that part of the trade is a wash.

Answer 8

Seems pretty even. You get rid of culpepper who gets hurt a lot but you pick up Foster who is hurt a lot too. Trent Green will put up big numbers as far as yards but the TD passes are more of Culpepper's forte. Depends on what other players you have.

Answer 9

sportsfan89b u should have keep T. Bell since D. Foster gets hurt allot but Culpepper for Trent Green is a better deal for allot of reasons.

Answer 10

Personally I would stick with Culpepper. The Chiefs are going to run the ball a whole lot and you won't get many touchdowns out of Green. Trust me, I had Larry Johnson a year ago and benefitted. Culpepper has a bunch of weapons and his main target will be Chris Chambers. Chambers had pro-bowl numbers a year ago despite having a dud for a quarterback. Just think what he will do now that he has somebody who can actually throw him the ball. Major potential for Culpepper.
