Four Way Trade
Reply Quote Edit

My league scores running backs and wide recievers one point for every ten yards and six points for a touchdown.  Each reception counts for .5 of a point.

 

So in this four way trade I would give up willis mcgahee, santonio holmes, and carnell williams.  In return, I would get steve smith, mark clayton, and marion barber.  I am having a pretty tough time deciding on what to do.

My league starts:

2qb

3rb

4wr

1te

1def/st

1k

 

If I go through with the trade, my starting running backs would probably be Addai, Lynch, and Barber.  My starting recievers would be Owens, Smith, Calvin Johnson, Clayton

I'd do it based on the info you gave me (the 4th WR om your original squad is missing) and here's why...

Your current roster...the 6 starters mentioned total 74.16

Addai (15.48 ppg)
McGahee (14.77 ppg)
Lynch (10.79 ppg)
Williams (Assuming Bench)
Holmes (8.00 ppg)
Owens (14.40 ppg)
Johnson (10.72 ppg)
4th WR not mentioned

Your proposed roster...the 7 starters identified total 90.83

Addai (15.48 ppg)
Lynch (10.79 ppg)
Barber (8.97 ppg)
Smith (18.21 ppg)
Clayton (12.26 ppg)
Owens (14.40 ppg)
Johnson (10.72 ppg)

Unless your 4th WR not mentioned above gets more than 16.67 ppg, your average PPG is going to improve.  You are compromising your RB depth a bit but you have to decide if you are comfortable with that.  Smith is fantasy elite, especially in your format.  Let me know if you have anything to add.

My 4th wide reciever is Jerry Porter. I will still have him on my team once the trade has gone through. I just figured Clayton and Johnson would start over him. What do you think?

Porter (Bench)

Looks like you are gaining about 6 ppg (on average) into your starting lineup.  You are compromising your depth a bit but I think it is worth it.  I would first see if the other owner would take Porter instead of Williams but if not I'd likely do the trade.  I prefer to stack my starting lineup versus having bench depth.  I always believe that I can get bench depth by watching the waiver wire very closely and beating everybody to the punch.

Awesome! Thanks a lot for the help....I think I'm going to go ahead with the trade. He wouldn't take porter over williams because he needed the rb....but I still think I'll be okay....I've got norwood and betts on my bench for running back

No problem.  I like Norwood, especially in your format.  I see ATL doing a lot of screens and dump passes to the RBs this year.
