Would you trade LT and Holt for this?

Question

I was offered Ocho Cinco, Calvin Johnson, and B. Westbrook for LT and Holt. My starting lineup if I made the trade would be as follows:

QB Brady
RB Rudi Johnson
RB B. Westbrook
WR Ocho Cinco
WR P. Burress
WR C. Johnson
TE Shockey
K Gostkowski
Defense San Diego

If I do not make the trade my lineup would look like this:

Brady
LT
R. Johnson
Holt
Burress
S. Holmes
Shockey
Gostkowski
San Diego

Answer 1

No way, the guy is trying to take advantage of the fact that LT has had a slow start and ocho cinco had a strong start. I have LT on my fantasy football team as well, and believe me I feel your frustration with his start. Remember though, he started off against the bears which have probally the best defense in the NFL and the patriots which have a very good defense. RB's are gold in fantasy football, exspecially LT. The percentage of fantasy teams last year with LT that had a winning record was huge. He will have a couple weeks this year where he scores more points by himself then the entire team you are playing. The way I look at it is that 85 and Holt are basically a wash. LT scored 425 fantasy points last year to westbrooks 257. Now if you didnt have buress and really needed another wr, it might be a different story. With the line up you have right now though, I wouldnt change a thing. Trust me, when you look back on it 3 weeks from now, you will be greatful you didnt trade away the most productive fantasy football player in the game.

Answer 2

I'm trying to figure out why you'd want to trade LT (good for 16-25 TDs this year) and Torry Holt (8-13TDs this year) for an injury-prone RB and a rookie WR plus Ocho Cinco. I consider Chad and Torry even up. But LT isn't worth trading for Calvin Johnson and any one other player.

Keep your lineup and kill.

Answer 3

People are banking on LT owners to panic and are trying to get him at a discount. I would not make the trade.

Calvin Johnson won't be a major factor in the offensive except for a couple of games here and there...Roy Williams is just too good of a reciever.

B. Westbrook never plays all 16 games. And with the Chargers 0-2 look for LT to be a lot more active trying to give that offensive a boost.

Chad is good and he will be good. But he's just not worth it in this trade.

Answer 4

Don't do it. Westbrook is no replacement for LT by any stretch. Even if you have a slight upgrade at WR (I like Chad any day over Holt, especially with the problems StL is having now), Calvin Johnson won't be a steady producer most likely.

Keep LT! Take your chances with Holt.

Answer 5

That's a terrible trade. Tomlinson AND Holt!?

No thanks.

LT has been slowed by two good run defenses. Now is not the time to panic and ship him off. Throwing Holt in too is ridicuous. He's coming off back-to-back TD weeks, and is still a top wideout.

This would be like trading your Ferrari for a Subaru, and throwing in an extra stack of cash in the glove compartment.

Answer 6

You're willing to trade the best football player in the league because he's had a couple of bad weeks. Maybe the reason he did is 2 excellent defenses.

You will get one over-the-hill RB, a rookie WR with a lot of potential but right now with many questions and a loony-tunes WR who could be suspended any week. Sounds like an even trade to me. Oh yeah, when you're done, I have some swampland in Florida that I'd like you to look at.

Answer 7

Looks real nice on paper.

Answer 8

nope

Answer 9

NO!
