    We play two games a week in my league and I am now 1-3.

    PPR, Flex can be any position but QB tds only count 4 points.

    My biggest problem is at quarterback and I want to make a trade with the guy that has the most QB depth. What do you guys think I should offer and which QB should I try to get?

    I am thinking of offering:

    Donald Driver WR
    Thomas Jones RB
    Michael Crabtree WR

    for his

    Kyle Orton QB
    Shonn Greene RB
    Mike Williams RB


    My team:

    Player / Position / Team / Points

    Bradford, Sam QB STL 28
    Johnson, Chris RB TEN 42
    Forte, Matt RB CHI 58
    White, Roddy WR ATL 47
    Moss, Santana WR WAS 31
    Driver, Donald WR GB 27 - Flex (can be any position)
    Shiancoe, Visanthe TE MIN 31
    49ers DST 13
    Akers, David K PHI 14

    Bench

    Lewis, Marcedes TE JAC 29
    Charles, Jamaal RB KC 23
    Henne, Chad QB MIA 18
    Jones, Thomas RB KC 12
    Crabtree, Michael WR SF 7
    Cowboys DST 18
    Open Spot (fourth waiver priority)

    His team

    Player / Position / Team / Points

    Rodgers, Aaron QB GB 43
    Best, Jahvid RB DET 72
    Jackson, Brandon RB GB 19
    Austin, Miles WR DAL 60
    Britt, Kenny WR TEN 11
    Orton, Kyle QB DEN 44 - Flex (can be any position)
    Gresham, Jermaine TE CIN 18
    Chargers DST 29
    Bironas, Rob K TEN 12

    Bench

    McNabb, Donovan QB WAS 38
    Williams, Mike WR SEA 11
    Harvin, Percy WR MIN 10
    Greene, Shonn RB NYJ 8
    Daniels, Owen TE HOU 5
    Washington, Leon RB SEA 2
    Holmes, Santonio WR NYJ 0

    What do you guys think?

    Thanks in advance.

    Definitely a good deal for you. I cant see him accepting that deal though. The upgrade he is getting at WR with Driver isn't worth giving up Orton and Greene for. He could also be banking on Holmes when he comes back.

    He is absolutely banking on Holmes but has a hole for the next two weeks and has too many QBs.

    Greene is mostly a buy low candidate. Also, Thomas Jones got most of the carries and produced 80 yards so it could actually be an upgrade for him.

    I could give up Moss instead of Driver to sweeten the pot but I would probably pull back Crabtree since Moss is a starter for me.

    The focus of this trade is to obtain one of his three QBs. I think Rogers would be off the table which leaves Orton and McNabb. I would rather have Orton but McNabb would be an upgrade over my current QBs.


    Which deal makes more sense?

    Deal One

    Santana Moss
    Thomas Jones

    for

    Kyle Orton
    Shonn Greene

    Deal Two

    Donald Driver
    Thomas Jones
    Michael Crabtree

    for

    Donovan McNabb
    Shonn Greene
    Mike Williams

    Any feedback would be appreciated.

    Both are great deals. I have a feeling that Thomas Jones is going to get less and less carries as the season winds down, and Shonn Greene will get a bunch of carries against weaker Jets opponents especially if we're up.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    I offered two trades so far:

    Thomas Jones and Michael Crabtree for Kyle Orton and Shonne Greene

    Thomas Jones for Carson Palmer

    I haven't heard back on either one yet.

    The Orton trade was rejected.

    He suggested J Charles and Crabtree for Orton and B Jackson. I don't like this trade because I think Jackson is worthless and I would like to keep Charles.

    I told him I thought Jones was an upgrade over Greene but would he consider either Crabtree or Jones for Orton straight up?

    Then I offered Crabtree for Orton.

    Still awaiting a response.

    That deal was rejected as well.

    He said that he is only interested in Charles. I told him that if I give up Charles I want Rodgers.

    I think nothing is going to happen this week after that exchange.

    Any ideas?
