QB/RB Trade Proposals?

Question

I've been offered the following two trades, what do ya' think!?! I'm considering the first one, especially due to the fact that I need a bye week QB replacement for Hasselbeck next Sunday. In regards to the second one I'm pretty sure I'll deny it as I'm hoping to hold onto S. Young as a late season reserve if/when Henry is suspended.

Trade 1: J. Kitna for D. Ward
Trade 2: S. Morris for S. Young

My current roster:
Hasselbeck-QB
Westbrooke-RB
A. Peterson-RB
C. Johnson-WR
R. Moss-WR
H. Ward-WR
Cooley-TE
J. Brown-K
Eagles-DST
---
My current reserves are:
D. Ward-RB
L. White-RB
S. Young-RB
R. White-WR
Kris Brown-K

Answer 1

Trade 1: J. Kitna for D. Ward, I would jump on that in a heart beat. It shows that in New York they have a 3 splitt back system. Everyone is sharing carries. And Ward has been getting banged up lately. I think his fantasy ride is over just like Sammy Morris. But Selvin Young might not even play, looks like Travis Henry has lawyers involved and the case could carry on, in which the NFL is still going to allow him to play. Do the Kitna trade, so what he has one bad week. That guy throws alot and has alot of good receivers to throw to. I mean right now you have two top running backs and two top wide receivers and cooley is a bawler 2. Kicker is decent and your defense is alright. Bench is week, Lendale White decent back up, Ward his time is up. Young who knows hang on to him till something happens. oh yeah and your qb is good, not great but better then decent, B+, your team man is bawler, you can always work the waivers for your bench. But damn hell of a draft you did. good luck, get kitna! get some depth, Hasselback might have bad starts ahead of him like he did against the steelers, then you can play kitna.

Answer 2

Let me say for starters that you have an awesome team. AP and Moss should carry you most if not all season. (See, you can identify a no.1 RB, unlike someone's coach) Kitna for Ward is a good idea because you have some decent depth at each position. Leave Morris for Young alone for injury purposes. What I'd do is take trade 1 and look on the waiver wire for pick-ups.

Answer 3

Well..I definitely would not trade for Sammy Morris. He is out for at least a month with a chest injury. Also, selvin young is waiting in the wings of Travies Henry who may be suspended for violating the league's substance abuse policy by mid-November. Kitna is a solid fantasy QB but beware he throws alot of picks and TDs. Unloading Ward is smart because Jacobs is going to return soon and last week Droughns got the majority of the red zone opportunities.

Answer 4

I deny both I'm sure there r some good bye week QB's still on the free agency wire. Also Det plays in chicago next week and their D is looking better each week. U can always drop ward for a QB off free agency u r pretty solid with westbrrok and Peterson (stud). White is good and smart to hold onto selvin cuz just a matter of time for henry. SO there u have it

Answer 5

Take the first one...you've got some RB depth already and more when Selvin steps in for Henry. Kitna is good and you need the QB depth in case of injury and for the bye week and Kitna and Detroit will sling it plenty anyway...

Answer 6

I like the way you think, Definately trade for Kitna , and saving Young for Fantasy Playoff possibility is a smart move, because the way Denver is playing, they might be in the hunt,but not secure enough to sit their starters.

Answer 7

I think you should except both. Denver's offense is struggling and New England finds a way to get everyone into the end zone. You need a backup qb so except the first one as well

Answer 8

Neither one means much now. Don't trade Young until you know what happens with that Pothead Henry.

Answer 9

definately take the first one- kitna is playing for martz and ward will lose touches now that jacobs is back; don't even hesitate

Answer 10

i would go with the first trade and not the second please check out my post "who do i drop for wes welker"
