  • Trade Vick for Chris Johnson?

    cooker by cooker . Sep 19, 2011 7:01 PM . Permalink

    I've got Cam Newton, he's for real and has a great schedule for fantasy points. I've got good RB's but why not get something for Vick and CJ has a great schedule as well if he wakes up. It's the only trade I can make since this guy needs a QB and his team is hurting. If Cam excels my team looks destined to be the championship. Thanks to all.

      ok listen up even though AP and foster where the best picks the most points any player will get you is ur QB now most QBs average around the same except a few like brees rogers and ya brady now you deal with guys like vick newton river who all will get u good points so if you could upgrade your run game and semi average the same amount at qb then ya you can only get screwed from a bye week or injures but if you seriously think AP is the best fantasy player you are a fool if you want to win you need a brady rogers or brees and i would even say stafford now they will get you 25-45 lol brady last week while a top tear rb will get you 12-30 points a game huh now what am i wasting my first round pick on think about it

        what you've said is basically my point here...Not bragging but played about ten years and took first every year but one taking second..you are right on with your analogy and that matches mine..Every year I reach on a few guys and this year it was Steve Smith and Cam. They are for real even after just two games meaning I'm overloaded at QB since their points will be close throughout the year. It doesn't pay to sit talent on your bench. Trade to upgrade. I wish I would've followed through with my first gut taking Stafford late since I'd have another stud WR/RB on my roster along with him. Nonetheless I nailed a gem in Cam. I'll be shooting for Britt/Best giving Vick and if no luck probably take CJ for Vick just to get another potential stud with another great upcoming schedule thru playoffs.

        It's not about just advice. It's about hearing other views as well in case you miss something. How long does it really take to read explanations? Not long. I'd rather have an explanation vs. a guy saying "play your stud" or "no way". Anyone can say that but it's the reasoning that matters. Finding guys to explain is hard to find. I actually like to help people by explaining and most appreciate it since it's hard to find that kind of effort. I'm no expert and neither are the so-called guys.

        Yes, Chris Johnson can be unpredictable and Vick usually has a solid game.

      all i am saying is that there are less good rb then qbs given how close there points will be but if you have a guy like rogers brady brees and maybe stafford you cant get rid of them they will get you the same amount as both of your rbs most weeks combine so after saying that guys like vick and cam and rivers are close enough in fantasy point outlooks to say screw benching this guy and lets get another starter the guy who said he wrote a book not novel is right its just a book though not a novel lol

        Ben gets an 'E' for extra effort. I see all of your points and appreciate the explanations. Like I said before in my book, it's hard to find guys that give good answers. Anybody can spit out an answer but I want to hear the reasoning behind it to see if it makes any sense. It's hard to read your typing Ben. Throw in some periods here and there since it all kind of runs together. Do that and you're on your way to your first book. LOL. Thanks again.

      How can you say Cam is "for real"? He played two games. Tom Brady is for real. Drew Brees is for real. Newton had to good games. You wanna make him your only QB? Wait until defenses get tape on Newton. We'll see how real he is.

        I've been playing for years and only lost once taking second. It's about upside and this kid didn't put up stats for nothing vs the pack. If his schedule was tough I wouldn't risk Vick but it's not. He was obviously the #1 pick for a reason and if you haven't seen him play yet...he's Vick all over again. A great fantasy QB is different than a real QB. A good fantasy QB is one who usually plays from behind or is loaded with weapons like Rodgers, Brady,etc. You've got to be a risk taker to get to the top pal. I did this last year with Foster, Rodgers the year before, Calvin Johnson another year, etc. Watch it happen before your eyes. He's #2 scorer in fantasy already and has weapons him being the biggest.
