Trade Question

  • Dr. KnOiTaLL
    I'm currently 5-4 with a tough schedule ahead of me. I have been plagued by inconsistency from my WR's, but have put myself in a position to make a trade to sure them up. I have been offered Julio Jones (WR Atlanta) and Josh Freeman (QB Tampa Bay) for Tom Brady (QB New England) and Jeremy Maclin (WR Philadelphia). I currently also have Andrew Luck who has a very profitable schedule the rest of the season. Would you guys accept this trade? Below are my lineups before and after.

    Before: ___________________After:
    QB- Brady ________________QB- Luck or Freeman
    WR- Calvin Johnson ________WR- Calvin Johnson
    WR- Demaryius Thomas ____WR- Demaryius Thomas
    WR- Jeremy Maclin ________WR- Julio Jones
    RB- Trent Richardson ______RB- Trent Richardson
    RB- Chris Johnson _________RB- Chris Johnson
    TE- Brandon Myers ________TE- Brandon Myers
    DEF- NE D or MIA D _______DEF- NE D or MIA D
    K- Janikowski ____________K- Janikowski

    i would ask for jones and another player besides freeman. you most likely wont ever play him so essentially your trading brady for julio jones which to me isnt a good trade for you. or at least take maclin out of the deal.

    You need better value for Brady - i'd ask for an RB over WR

    My only reasoning with the Maclin and Freeman swap is looking ahead to playoffs. I'm afraid Maclin, being tied to Vick and the Eagles offense, isn't going to produce much at all. He has only broken 40 receiving yards twice on the season, which is pretty awful. Freeman has been on a tear with 11 TD passes over his past 4 games, and it seems he's established some nice rapport with Vincent Jackson, so I thought I could play matchups down the stretch because I know he has some good-looking matchups in the playoffs.

    yea i get that but brady is your best player...you cant trade your best player for julio jones. brady is also a top 5 fantasy player overall if you trade him you need to get a top 5 fantasy player imo. you should work on trading luck/maclin to someone who needs a qb for a decent reciever
