HI ALL......Looking for some advice on a trade. I am in a 12 team 5 keeper league. We start 1 QB, 2 0r 3 RB's and 2 or 3 Wr's. TE, K, Def. Performance based scoring. MY 5 I am keeping are Tomlinson, Dillion, Holmes, Chad Johnson, Todd Heap. I am considering trading Holmes for Vick. Would anyone do this?...Or should I take my chance with Holmes and draft a average QB like Hasslebeck, Carr, Harrington.....I always finish top seed in the league but lose the game before the Superbowl. I always blame it on never having a quality Qb....of course losing Holmes last year did not help......thanks for any help.... 8)

I am usually a pretty long-winded guy, as you will come to know! But, this one is E---z! Given the makeup of your team, you gotta' cut that deal! It just balances your team out nicer. You might even be able to get the guy trading you Vick to sprinkle something back, perhaps a receiver that you might consider keeping over Heap, or maybe you could sprinkle something back to get a receiver included. Point being, you really could use an upgrade at WR. Anyway, I would do the deal in a heartbeat as you present it! Good luck!

In my experience with fantasy football, I've learned that RB's are the most important aspects to your team. You've got arguably the top 2 RB's in LT and Holmes, with Dillon being the best 3rd RB option that I've ever seen! If healthy, those 3 could carry your team to glory regardless of who's playing QB. You can argue that Holmes is injured, while Vick is quickly becoming one of the better fantasy QB's, making it a "safe" move, but if Holmes comes back 100%, you may regret this trade. Vick's style of play can generate big points, but it also leaves him very vulnerable to big hits and injuries... Would you even consider this move if Holmes was 100%? He might be... then again, he might not. Good luck.

Here's the thing with Vick. His rushing numbers last year were pretty similar to those of a Stephen Davis or Emmitt Smith - a solid #3 RB. Plus you get the advantage of his passing. Sure, last year he was a mediocre passing threat (love those low INT #s though) but this year he'll have a faster WR core (added Peerless and MarTay Jenkins) which will spread the field and allow him to be even more effective... and a more experienced TE now that Alge Crumpler has another year under his belt.
I like Vick as a #1 QB AND a #3 RB. So, in essence, you're getting 2 players in one roster spot.
Even if Holmes is healthy, he's not happy with his contract sitch.
