Should i accept t his trade in fantasy football?

Question

Mine: His:
Tom Brady Peyton Manning
Donald Lee Heath Miller
Shaun Alexander Derrick Ward

I'm especially lacking production at my RB and TE spots that Derrick Ward and Heath Miller can help out at. So what do you think about Brady for Manning? Also, I think i should hold onto Shaun Alexander in case he starts getting good, or should i deal him now. I know right now Ward for Alexander is the best deal im gonna get. any suggestion at all will be appreciatd

Answer 1

Why would u want to trade Brady, he throws like 3 touchdowns a week. Donalad Lee and Heath Miller are about the same. Keep Shaun Alexander because Derrick Ward does not play that much anymore because Jacobs is back.

Answer 2

QB - Brady is clearly #1 this year in points under every fantasy format. I wouldn't give up Brady for anybody but Manning, so that's a go.

TE - Miller is a major improvement over Lee, so that's a go.

RB - Alexander has had a crappy year, but you never know when (or if) he'll have a big game. He's gone downhill since he signed his big contract a year or two ago. Plus, he's at the age when RB's start declining. Most NFL insiders are writing him off. Ward may not help you (or be better for your team than Alexander) because he's no longer the Giants #1 RB. This from NFL.com:

Giants RB Derrick Ward did not practice Friday and was listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Dallas with ankle and groin injuries.

Fantasy Analysis
Ward has seen a dip in his rushing attempts ever since Brandon Jacobs returned from a knee injury. Now it's Ward who is battling the injury bug. If healthy against the Cowboys, consider Ward nothing more than a No. 3 Fantasy RB.

That one is a push.

Belichick may begin resting Brady as the season winds down to protect him for the playoffs. Eventually, some linebacker is going to crush him because many are upset about the Patriots running up the score on some teams. He'll still get as many points in 3 quarters as anybody else will get in a full game.

I would make the trade. Good luck.

Answer 3

Don't do it. If your gonna trade Brady you need more than Ward for the RB position! Hes hurt right now and Brandon Jacobs is getting the majority of the touches for the G-men.

I wouldn't do it!

Answer 4

I wouldn't bother. Drop Alexander and pick up someone off the waivers. I'm sure you can find someone equal to or better to Ward. There are also plenty of solid TEs to pickup. It's just not worth losing Brady.
