Answer 1

Don't trade LT. He's going to start having a typical LT season starting with Oakland. After the bye, look for him to put up the kind of numbers he's capable of. Coach Turner admitted that he was using this offense all wrong in the paper this week. And, he's going back to the formula that worked all last year, with LT leading the way on the highest scoring team in the league in 2006 (with the same personnel this year, by the way).

If you're 4-1 after 5 weeks and you take a dive one week because of byes, that puts you 4-2. Then, you go 4-1 again and you're suddenly 8-3. Stay with the horses that got you where you are right now. Who knows? You might run into a team during that bye week that falls on it's face and you get the win anyway.

Answer 2

You have a tough decision. I had Tomlinson on my team and I traded him for Carson Palmer, Frank Gore, and Randy Moss. Those three combined will get twice as many fantasy points as LT. People are crazy about LT, but there is no way he'll do as good as he did last year. I like your team. Don't trade with the option 2 team, he doesn't have a good enough RB to replace LT. I would go for the Rudi Johnson/Chad Johnson trade. You might even be able to throw in Peterson, or maybe even Romo. You could then have an extra QB up for trade.

Answer 3

Are you getting all of those guys? And which C. Johnson is it...Calvin or Chad.

If you are getting all of those players in the trade then heck ya do it. But you are not specific enough in what the trade involves here.

Edwards is a good pickup here's why. His schedule at the end of the season is against garbage DEF's. That's always a plus if you make the playoffs.
McNabb I think will come around and have a good rest of the season.
Lynch is somewhat underrated as a RB. Esp since most of the top RB's have underproduced this year.
Calvin Johnson is very risky...Chad is a lock though.

Answer 4

There is no way that i would ever go for this trade. Edwards and Lynch are good but they are not even in the same league as Tomlinson, even with Tomlinson having his off weeks. McNabb had a once a year performance 2 weeks ago and he won't repeat anytime soon. The only decent one amongst all of them is Johnson, but with that trade you need another supreme RB with it like, Steven Jackson, Joseph Addai or Frank Gore (Who will breakout soon!)

Answer 5

do it man..."turned the corner" is BS, denver should be 0-5, they won 2 games on last sec fg, they are a bad team, beating up a bad team doesnt mean you truned the corner...LT is not surprising anyone, every d concentrates on stopping him, why do u think Gates is having a monster season??? McNabb is putting up good #s, Edwards is a fantasy stud, Lynch is good, Johnson will be good after resting this bye week...do it!!!

Answer 6

Are you drunk? LT is LT and will always be LT..

Dont get suckered into a bad trade..

He will return to MVP status

Answer 7

if you are getting all 4 players for LT, do it. one week vs the broncos does not a season make.
"they turned the corner" B.S. they had a good game, that's it.
for what they are offeringyou can have a monster team

Answer 8

I would not do that. LT and SD seem to have turned the corner.

Answer 9

Keep LT unless you can get Lynch and Johnson for him.

Answer 10

keep L.T. he broke out his last game and will continue to do so the rest of the season
