should i make this trade in fantasy football?

Question

I trade

Matt Hasselbeck (288.50*) + Maurice Jones Drew (511.50)

I get

Marc Bulger (538.50) + Travis Henry (321.50)

(With our points system, players get a lot of points, the parenthesis are the points they had last year)

* 12 of 16 games played

I don't think I should. Henry will be better I know, but I dond't know what to think of Jones-Drew. I also dont know how much better Bulger is than Hasselbeck (if he is at all)

PLEASE GIVE SOME ADVICE

Answer 1

In my opinion I think Bulger is a much better QB then Hasselbeck. Bulger's offense is big on passing, Steven Jackson had 90 receptions last year, Torry Holt is a top 5 WR, Isaac Bruce, Drew Bennett and Randy McMichael are all good players as well.
For the RB, I like them both. Henry will benefit from Denver's running game if he stays healthy. Jones-Drew is younger, but also smaller, I think 5-7, 212lbs. He will put up great numbers, but Greg Jones will take away a lot of his goal line carries.
I would take the trade. I would consider Henry and Jones-Drew a wash, and Bulger a great improvement over Hasselbeck.
Good luck

Answer 2

All of those guys are pretty even especially the running backs. The question there is Mike Shannahan going to use a rotation, I don't think he will, I think he will remember the glory days of Terrell Davis and just use Henry in the back field. Also I don't see anyway that Jones Drew repeats last year (sophomore slump) I think Henry is going to have a huge year (1400+ and 14+TD). The quarterbacks Bulger is an upgrade over Hasseback, though not a huge one, but Bulger just has many more weapons. MAKE THE TRADE.

Answer 3

I would definately do this trade unless your league awards points for receptions because Jones Drew will get a ton of catches. Marc Bulger is definately better than Hasselbeck, Bulger is a top 5 QB while Hasselbeck might not even fall under the top 10 QB. Travis Henry is better than Jones Drew because he is not spilting carries, and he is a proven workhorse (unlike Jones Drew) and now he is playing under Mike Shannahan, who got Reuben Droughns and Gary Anderson to rush for 1000 yds, if they can, I'm guessing a proven stud like Travis Henry can rush for 2000yds. Overall, this is a great trade for you!

Answer 4

Bulger is definitely better than Hasselbeck and Henry is better than MJD. MJD is going to be splitting a lot of carries. Henry was able to perform in TN with nothing around him. Now he has a solid O-line and a few passing threats to open up the running game for him. Definitely take Bulger and Henry.

Answer 5

Don't do it. Hasselbeck is coming back from an injury and he's healthy now. Jones-Drew should be starter over Fragile Freddy but he's still sharing carries with Taylor. The only thing with Henry is that he's injury prone. Bulger and Hasselbeck are pretty much the same. Hope this helps.

Answer 6

THINK ABOUT IT

First compare the QBs
Marc Bulger is more times than not taken before Hassleback in drafts. Bulger should give you better numbers.

Next the RBs
Henry is almost always takin in front of MJD. Henry is not sharing carries like MJD is. Is is also in a system that constantly produces 1000 yard rushers no matter who they are. Henry should give you equal or better numbers.

I would make this trade.
