Trade, please help

[sigep792002]

This is my starting lineup:

Edwards, Trent QB BUF @STL
Johnson, Chris RB TEN MIN
Stewart, Jonathan RB CAR ATL
Johnson, Andre WR HOU @JAC
Marshall, Brandon WR DEN @KC
Smith, Steve WR CAR
Winslow, Kellen TE CLE
Elam, Jason K ATL
Bears DST

These are my reserves:

Cassel, Matt QB
Jones, Felix RB
Mendenhall, Rashard RB
Bowe, Dwayne WR
Rice, Sidney WR
Scaife, Bo TE
Bironas, Rob K TEN

Somebody offered me Brees for Steve Smith and Felix Jones. I picked up Edwards off waivers and he has been doing pretty well. I wasa one of those poor scmucks that had Brady. I am not sure if I should do this because it may screw me for 1 or 2 of the bye weeks. Please help!!!!

I would never do that trade. you are giving up way too much. I believe Smith will put his problems behind him and have a big year. And Jones could be your best RB. If Barber ever went down, he would become a stud!!

[dhunter]

i'd do it. your team isn't going to make the playoffs with trent edwards.

which lineup is better?

QB - Brees
RB - Johnson
RB - Stewart
WR - Johnson
WR - Marshall
WR - Bowe

or

QB - Edwards
RB - Johnson
RB - Stewart
WR - Johnson
WR - Marshall
WR - Smith

you're getting a much better starting lineup with this trade. who cares if barber gets injured or not...it may never happen

I am actually leaning towards no Brees is averaging 21 points and Edwards is averaging 15 points in my league. Any other opinions are appreciated.

I agree with dhunter, gives you a better starting lineup. Brees/Bowe will give more points than Edwards/Smith.

I agree. Although as a Barber and Felix Jones owner, I would not trade Jones unless it was an extremely good offer.

I see the point difference moving in the favor of Brees over the season. My quick thoughts.
Brees: Gets Colston back in a couple weeks / plays half its games in a dome / defense is not very good so most games will be a shootout.
Edwards: Run oriented offense / Good D so the possibility of lower scoring ball control offense exists / Weather conditions during the fantasy playoffs.

keep in mind if he makes this trade he will be shorthanded for 2 upcomming weeks due to byes.(week 6, only 1 RB, and week 8 only 2 WR). Granted he can pick up someone off waiver, but probably not much out there unless he gets lucky and picks up a 1 week wonder...

Thanks guys

No way S.smith will have a huge year. Plus D.bowe sucks with out a good QB throwing him the ball. I like Brees this year but i feel your giving up to much.

[PGAman]

I say no way.

Steve Smith will have a great year and Felix Jones will get more carries. He will be a sleeper and you never know with the injury to parker and the offensive line struggles with Pittsburgh.

I would keep Edwards or even see who is on waivers.
