I wanted a new quarterback on my team because of KC's running all the time with Larry Johnson and also now Willie Roaf's retirement. My backup QB is Ben Roethlisberger and my other receivers besides Marvin are Roy Williams and Darrell Jackson. I'm planning to put Toomer on my bench and start Dante Stallworth as my third receiver. Was this a wise move for me to make?

Please don't make this trade.
The person you are trading with will get an excellent receiver and a good quarterback in Marvin Harrison and Trent Green. Who are you getting? Jake Delhomme and Amani Toomer. This would be a horrible trade for you to make.
Harrison and Green are a very solid duo. You want these two guys commanding your fantasy football team. Harrison is good for 1100 yards and 10+ touchdowns per year. Can any other receiver say that? He's Peyton Manning's favorite red zone target, so he is bound to get a lot of scores. Green can throw for over 4000 yards per year, and with Larry Johnson taking some heat, he has the potential to have even bigger seasons. From Green, a conservative estimate is 22 touchdowns and 12 interceptions for 4275 yards.
And you would be getting crap for these stats. Amani Toomer is done. Toomer used to be good, but his time has ended. In New York, Plaxico Burress is now the favorite target, and Toomer is starting to show some signs of age. Can Toomer hold a candle to Marvin Harrison? I think not. Jake Delhomme is a solid quarterback. But he is not very consistent. Some weeks he can be brilliant, throwing for 350 yards and 4 touchdowns; but other weeks he can bite your *** off with 125 yards and 3 picks. Green is the far safer choice instead of Delhomme.
Please don't make this trade.
Hope that helps.

I wouldn't do that. Delhomme is a marginal update from Trent Green. You will lose alot more out of switching Harrison for Toomer. Pittsburgh is going to be forced into passing more this season when their running game breaks down. You're lucky to have Stallworth sitting on the bench, but Darrell Jackson and Roy Williams are definitely at least somewhat risky. You still have a chance. You never know if Harrison gets hurt in week 1 and you ended up upgrading at QB and still having something out of that reciever spot.

No! Green and Delhomme are approximately equal in fantasy value. The Panthers don't light it up and expect Steve Smith to get double covered on virtually every play this season. Amani Toomer is the number 2 guy on a running team with a quality TE to get a bunch of catches. Marvin Harrison is a hall of famer playing in an offense that throws a lot and has a hall of famer for a qb. Stay put and look for a better deal.

Hell No!!! That doesn't give you an advantage at all. Delhomme might have a little bit better season than Green, but Harrison is gonna have a great year this year (like he always does) with the departure of Edgerrin James. Toomer is getting old and is Eli Mannings 3rd or 4th target. This would be a foolish trade.
DONT MAKE THIS TRADE!!!

The only way to look at this is NO. Trent is solid and shoul have better numbers than last year (respect for larry=gonzo and company blowing up) regardless of fat roaf. and getting arguably the best receiver in the league for toomer..NO

Willie Roaf didn't play much last year and Johnson had a fantastic year. Roafs retirement is very overrated. If you trade Harrison and Green for those 2 guys your nuts.

ESPN is predicting that Trent Green has a better season than most QB'S. See if you can trade Big Ben for toomer

Dont make the trade...Someone might slap you....Delhomme is not even has as good as Green...Green has new weapons in KC. and there defense is going to be better which gives Green more on field time..>harrieson is one of the best recievers in the league if not the best...I would keep what you got

don;t make that move- Delhomme is an upgrade from Green, but not enough to off-set the massive downgrade from Harrison (top 5 WR) for Tommer (about #40-50 WR).
the rest of the league will laugh at you if you pull the trigger on that.

NO! Despite KC's running game, look at Trent Green's numbers since he became a Chief. He much more valuable than you think, and Harrison is as valuable as it gets at WR.
