fantasy team help?

Question

i need a new QB as I have Jon Kitna and Damon Huard (!) these may be ok but jon kitna plays for the lions who are pretty crappy, and damon huard doesnt throw as much because of larry johnson, I have looked at all the teams in my league (12 team league) for a team that has 2 good QB's and there is a team with peyton manning and drew brees, His RB's are Tatum Bell Deshaun Foster and Lamont jordan, so i thought id try trading him/her a running back for drew brees, I have Marion barber III Tiki barber and Warrick Dunn i only want to trade one of them but i have some WR to throw in if one of them is not enough for drew brees I have Jerricho cotchery Andre Johnson donte stall worth and donald driver,
Who do you think i should trade for him, that they will accept?

Answer 1

You're probably better off sticking with Kitna and Huard. You can decide who to play from week to week based on the defenses they are up against. For instance, this week Kitna is against ATL, who's passing D is statistically not great. Chances are, DET will have to throw the ball a lot. I am starting Kitna this week myself.

If you wanted to get Brees, you'd probably have to trade Dunn or Tiki. Both are having great years. I don't think that they'd accept a deal with Marion Barber because he isn't much better (if at all) than their other backs. So if you dump Dunn or Tiki, then your stuck starting him (assuming that you have to start 2 RBs). If you only have to start 1 RB, then I would ditch Dunn and Cotchery for Brees. But if you need 2 RBs, stick with what you got.

Answer 2

First, Damon Huard is not such a bad option at quarterback -- he had a monster game last week, and he's been hitting Kinnison a lot more regularly (who's once again becoming a great WR option if he's available in your league).

So, until / if you get Brees, stick with Huard, cause Kitna may have some decent #s, but he's gonna be playing some hard teams, while Huard has really been great recently against some tough teams. Also, Trent Green is expected to be out a few more weeks.

I think you should be able to make a trade. Barber III's value is high right now, because of his TD-scoring potential. Tiki is probably the 3rd best RB in the league but Brandon Jacobs is stealing his TDs. This trend lowers his value but if *I* had HIS RBs, I'd trade you Brees for Tiki straight-up.

Andre Johnson and Donte Stallworth are continue to be good consistent receivers. Driver's worth less as GB is so inconsistent (and plays some very tough, some very easy teams), while Cotchery's value has plummeted in recent weeks thanks to drops and Pennington stinking it up.

Top 3 trades I'd propose:

Trade Tiki Barber and Donald Driver for Drew Brees and LaMont Jordan, if he'll take it. He's getting a huge back in Tiki, but you're getting a good back in Jordan that plays easy teams when it comes playoff time in your league (Wks 13-14).

Trade Barber III & Driver or Cotchery for Brees. I don't know that he'd take this, but it's a better RB option than he has currently, especially since Tatum Bell may be hurt this week.

Trade Stallworth / Barber III for Brees alone. He'd be an idiot to turn this down and you're losing a pretty good WR, but the loss at RB doesn't hurt you much since you never know what's gonna happen with the Dallas situation (and they have a tough schedule). Maybe you could get Brees / Jordan for the combo.

Good luck to you ... I'd hold on to Dunn, he's not worth you giving him up even if you did get Brees!! And if you can hold on to Johnson, it would be great too! Stallworth is your third-most important to hold on to, as he has been injured and hammys are easy to re-injure.

Answer 3

I think Tiki might be a fair deal for Brees. That might even be a disadvantage to you. But he might not bite if he already has Lamont. Good luck.

Answer 4

dunn and either stallworth or maybe cotchery if he's a jets fan for brees, and he might go, he desperately need RB help like you said

Answer 5

he might do a trade with dunn.
