Making a run... Help!!! Thomas for Brees and Chubb?

[jiggidyjj]

So here's the deal.  I'm 2-5 after this week.  I drafted Bell (1st), D. Freeman (2nd), and Baldwin (3rd).  Needless to say, I have had some very bad luck after I had what I thought was a great draft.  Also, this is my Lg of record and a keeper league that I commish.  I have a good matchup next week, so good chance to go 3-5.  I've made the decision to go for it and am on the epic comeback trail!

 

Here is my current roster

QB = DALTON

RB = BELL (?) / BREIDA (?) / L MURRAY (?) / RICHARD / SMALLWOOD / PENNY

WR = M THOMAS / JEFFERY / BALDWIN / WATKINS / COLE / KEARSE (dropping)

TE = BURTON

 

So Dalton sucked ass against the worst D in the NFL, so don't really trust him even with a good matchup.  Only real chip I have is Thomas and Jeffery.  Thomas cannot be kept next year, Jeffery would be a 5th round pick next year.

 

Would you Trade M. Thomas for Brees and Chubb ( 8th rd pick next year)?

 

Seems like a good move for me but want to hear everyone's thoughts.....

 

Thanks in advance.

Not a chance.   There has to be a qb on the wire you can use unless this is a 2 qb league

Not really man... Got Smith, Bortles Dak and Mariota on the waiver.  I'd prob roll Dalton over those options and hope for not another dud.

Wow. That's tough.  I still hate to trade a stud for a qb

I'm with you, typically stream QB's but it's rough this year.  Kinda in win now mode.  Figure I accomplish two things here.  One I upgrade 2 positions I'm weak in and I lose at my strongest positions which is WR.  Secondly, I get a good keeper in Chubb for next year if I don't make a run.  I sent him a trade for Dalton/Baldwin/Breida for Chubb/Brees.  I'm sure he will decline, if so may try Jeffery before Thomas, but Jeffery is playing pretty darn good lately and would also be a 5th rounder next year so like to hang on to him.

I like your train of that here. I think I would keep Alshon and trade Michael first. Hopefully he takes that really bad trade first though . I think it's a good decision if you want to try and pull the season out. I mean you cant keep Michael next year...and your definitely losing this year at this rate.

Thanks, I think I may ask for McKinnon as well who would be a 10th next year.  so basically the trade would be Thomas + 2 bench players for Brees/Chubb/Mckinnon this would give me Alshon in the 5th / Chubb in the 8th / Mckinnon in the 10th and also set me up in a better position for this year as well.
