EnFoRcEr_uPu Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Hey Guys, So, my starting QB, Matt Schaub is done for the season and my backup is Josh Freeman. I'm looking to propose a trade to someone in my league for the below, as his backup is Philip Rivers. He would get: Josh Freeman - QB Aaron Hernandez - TE I would get: Philip Rivers - QB Antonio Gates - TE I already have Jason Witten as my #1 TE and I'm not very worried about his ability to stay healthy. Rivers and Gates won't stay down forever and since I can afford to part ways with Hernandez, I figured I would make a go at this while Rivers and Gates stocks are low. What do you think?

I think you should have posted this question here: http://www.extremeskins.com/showthread.php?352462-General-Fantasy-Football-2011-Discussion and now should send a PM to the mods asking them to merge it. After four solid weeks, I don't think it's true anymore that Gates' stock is low. Or if it is, it's certainly not low enough to make this trade fair. I think he will reject this trade and would be wise to do so. If you want Rivers, you need to improve his lineup. Gates to Hernandez is such a minimal upgrade (if it's an upgrade at all, which is highly questionable) that it's not worth his while to lose a very solid backup qb.

gchwood Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Freeman is slated to face the 23rd, 14th, 21st, 11th, 8th, 21st, and 22nd ranked defense for QB points in ESPN standard leagues. Rivers is slated to face 13th, 32nd, 11th, 25th, 1st, 4th, and 19th. Hernandez is slated to face 16th, 8th, 5th, 11th, 4th, 25th, 19th ranked defenses for TE points in ESPN standard leagues. Gates is slated to face 32nd, 4th, 31st, 19th, 1st, 6th, 19th. If you are basing your trade decisions mostly on QB, I would say that Rivers does face a tougher schedule.

pjfootballer Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 That's pretty hilarious. I had Peyton Manning as my starter (keeper league) and took Schaub in the third round as my starter to replace Peyton. Then I picked up Freeman (had Fitzpatrick targeted, then someone beat me to the punch) as my backup to Schaub. I'll ride Freeman since my team is 4-6.

elkabong82 Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I'd suggest just picking up either Palmer or Leinart and rotating with Freeman based off match-ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
