What do you think of this fantasy trade?

Question

I give up

Phillip Rivers
Marshawn Lynch
Correll Buckhalter

I get 
Peyton Manning
Jonathan Stewart
LeSean McCoy

reasons I'm thinking it over:
I don't like Rivers' schedule especially at the beginning of the year: OAK, BAL, MIA, PIT, then a bye. Except for MIA I wouldn't really be able to play him until week 6. Plus he plays the NFC East later on in the year. Games vs DEN, KC (both those teams twice), CLE, MIA and CIN are nice, but that's only 7 out of 16 with the rest being kinda to really tough.

Am I giving up too much letting Lynch go? My other RBs right now are LT, Thomas Jones and Norwood. It'll kill my depth at RB, but does solidifying QB make it worth it?

If no trade goes down, It'll probably be a mix between Carson Palmer and Rivers with a fill-in during Rivers' bye week 5

Thanks in advance.

Okay. 9 times out of 10 I'd tell you to turn it down but you make a very good point. Rivers and Palmer have two of the single most difficult schedules of the season for QBs. And while I prefer Rivers to Manning and I have my own favoritism towards Lynch, I say go for it. Jon is a solid back-up and shouldn't do too bad this season, especially if he stays close to his totals from last year. Plus if Westbrook goes down McCoy's value goes through the roof!

Take it. Take the trade.

I would make this trade. You know Lynch will not play the first 3 games and Buckhalter has to share carries with Moreno, Hillis, and Jordan.

no way i could provide up LJ, Torry Holt, Chicago Def, and Javon Walker for Randy Moss, Lamont Jordan and the Jax Def. LJ hasn't performed lots yet he's a suitable 5 FF %. and he will %. issues up. Torry Holt provide you large stats by the top of the 12 months. Chicago's protection would be suitable 5 nevertheless in the league. Randy Moss has been doing large yet he's no longer nicely worth LJ, and the different WRs that i could could desire to renounce in the deal. it quite is purely too one sided of a commerce for you. If he grew to become into any smart, he could reject your commerce grant.

I deffeintely think you should do it. I personally tihnk Manning is going to have a great season and I like Stweart more then Lynch to begin with. There is no doubt you are getting a great deal.
