This is a point per reception league.

1 pt. for 10 yards rushing/receiving
6pts for tds

Starters 1 QB, 1 RB , 1 WR, 3RB/WR, 1 TE, 1 K, 1 Def.

My team:

QB- Matt Ryan and Matt Cassel
RB- Matt Forte, R. Rice, K. Moreno, F. Jones, L. McCoy
WR-L. Fitzgerald, S. Smith (car), M. Colston, B. Edwards, T. Ginn
TE-D. Keller

Trade 1
Here are the trades I have been offered:

P. Rivers and TJ Housmanzadeh
for
S. Smith and M. Ryan

Trade 2
D. Bowe and T. Edwards
for
M. Colston and K. Moreno

Trade 3
D. McNabb, W. Welker, and DeAngelo Williams
for
M. Forte, L. Fitzgerald, and M. Ryan

P. Rivers and TJ Housmanzadeh
for
S. Smith and M. Ryan

That is an ok offer, I would probably still decline though. With Tony G, I think Matt Ryan will have more TDs this year and Steve Smith is an elite WR and way better than Housmandaddy

Trade 2
D. Bowe and T. Edwards
for
M. Colston and K. Moreno

No way, Colston plays on a very pass happy team with a great QB and Trent Edwards is a guy who should be on the waiver wire. I don't like Moreno but it's possible he could be a productive fantasy player

Trade 3
D. McNabb, W. Welker, and DeAngelo Williams
for
M. Forte, L. Fitzgerald, and M. Ryan

Thats, interesting. Fitz > Welker, Forte = or slightly better Williams, McNabb > Ryan, but has had injury troubles. I say decline.

Decline all of those. None of them are worth it.

The only trade I would consider is Rivers/Housh for Ryan/Smith. People are high on Matt Ryan, and he should improve, but Atlanta will still be run-heavy and he only had 16TDs last season whereas Rivers had 34.

I think Housh has a great year with Hasselbeck. Steve Smith only had 6TDs last season (14 games) and TJ's numbers should be closer to his 2007 production (1100yds, 12TDs).

The only one I would consider is trade option #1, the value is about the same there. In auction leagues Rivers is worth $16 while Ryan is only worth $8. Steve Smith is worth $17, where Housh is worth $9.

You need a solid week in week out QB as Cassel is your back up.
