Brees and Driver for Marshawn Lynch

[The Wolf]

I was offered the following:

 

Marshawn Lynch and Reggie Brown

 

for

 

Drew Brees and Donald Driver

 

We are standard 1/10 rush/rec, 1/25 passing, 6 pt TD, 4 pt TD pass. 1/2 PPR for WR and TE, NOT for RB's. Option to keep one at auction value for one year.

 

My team:

 

QB: Romo, Brees

RB: SJax, Jordan, Henry, KJ, FTaylor, Selvin Young

WR: B. Edwards, Driver, Calvin Johnson, L. Evans, K. Curtis

K: K. Brown

DEF: GB

 

SJax is injured and I believe he'll be back...if so, what will he return to with that line? Jordan has been solid but is now hurt, who knows what will happen with Henry, and KJ is on a pass-happy team and does NOT get PPR. Taylor and Young are back ups.

 

I'd probably drop Brown for a back up QB (CPepp or Frerotte probably).

 

Do I make this trade? All comments welcome. Thanks!

Hmmm....RBs don't get PPR here? Very interesting. Lynch's value is really tied to his receiving. He's been a good (middle of the pack) back but the schedule does not get any easier for these guys. New QB, too. I'm not so sure I like the value you're getting back but I do see the need for an RB.

 

 

Sure, Driver has been under the radar, especially with GB winning through the air. Which would make me a little nervous. Brees is droppable at this point.

 

Basically, it's a Driver for Lynch trade. I would do it if you got a little something back at the WR position, and not Reggie Brown. Calvin Johnson and Evans will continue to be inconsistent for you. Brown does nothing to solve your problems here.

I'd make that trade, then turn around and see if you can trade one of Jordan/KJ/Taylor for a WR.
