I like most of your team. QB's are awesome. Crowell had a real nice APC last season. Peterson might score a few for the Saints. If Keenan Allen can stay healthy watch out. Powell could be interesting. Is the Giants defense any good?

Giants have a great D yes. They were top 6 or so last year i think. They are good.

That was supposed to be YPC - not APC. I know Adrian Peterson is old for a running back but he could see a lot of goal-line carries in that offense.

Im hoping Peterson will do enough early to prove he is a feature back. Ingram will get catches for sure. But Peterson will get TDs. I expect Hogan to have a big year as well. With Julian out. I dont have to start Peterson.

This team essentially had the 3rd and 4th overall picks. lol Once Brown for Rivers clears. I just cant use the Rivers was a 2nd rounder so its fair card on this.

I voted against that trade. Your team is already stacked. Just being honest. I trust Brown a lot more than Rivers. And i love Rivers. But if we traded picks and you acquired the 4th overall pick for a 2nd rounder it would just throw the league out of balance.

Just my 2 cents. Ill let the league vote. Which they never do. So this trade will go through. I didnt want to just let this happen without speaking my heart. I dont like it. But it is what it is. Just bums me out having the league start out like this.

Last ill say about it. You raped.

I understand what you are saying but to be honest it's a fair deal. We all know Rivers had a down year last year and with KA back he is likely headed to top 5 qb status in fantasy.

I understand that Brown is a very good receiver but Big Ben is beat up and could very likely have a down year, I mean the guy was ready to retire.

Also so looking at Rosters, his roster is devoid of qbs and in a two qb league he is going to have to settle with Trevor Simian or some other horrible qb.

Lets be real, in a two qb league the value of qbs jumps rbs. The position scarcity that rb normally has is preceded by the even more scarce number of competent qbs, and let's not talk about the deep position of wr. It's why I passed on brown for Rodgers.

In conclusion, the way this league is built plus some speculative factors makes Rivers for brown a lot more balanced trade than in regular 1 qb leagues.

And feel free free to discuss, I'm ok with the league voting it down because I'm not 100% sure it's the best trade for me. Truth be told I actually cancelled it once before rethinking it and moving forward with reordering it. His/her qb situation is bad and without this sort of bail out trade his/her season is over.

Here is my team.

WOW. That is a scary looking team. And you're about to add Antonio Brown. How has Lynch looked this preseason? He must be fresh.

Your TE's alone could win you games. I'm kidding but they're great. And you have two surging young WR's with a very good QB.

Do you have a defense?

I'm not a huge fan of sticking to one d. I tend to stream matchups I think are favorable. I have the rams d for now.

Ha! The trade got vetoed and I'm not too upset about it. I guess I shouldn't be surprised It's pretty obvious that most players undervalue qbs in this league, imho to their detriment.

Sorry blazing your going to be starting siemian.

It it will be fun to see how Rivers does vs Brown to see if the league was correct in its disdain of this trade.

[Millionaire Wussy]

Here's my two cents of unsolicited advice for you guys. Stock up on Rams offensive players this year. I have a feeling that they will score a ton.

I hope that's worth something.

I don't undervalue QBs. I this league I pick one first if I am able to pick early enough. I picked sixth and Brees was there. So was Brady but went with Brees because Edelman is out. Would of been cool with either. Both had over 100 more points last year than the top RBs.
