kkustes03 4 Posted November 14, 2012 The trade deadline for our league is Friday. I have Palmer and Brady. Am I crazy to try and trade Brady for an elite WR or RB and ride Palmer through the playoffs? He has a cake schedule and has looked good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BobSanders_33 127 Posted November 14, 2012 What week does your playoffs start? If your league starts in week 14 if you don't have a bye then the Denver match up is scary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antiramie 50 Posted November 15, 2012 Was in the same boat. Ultimately decided I couldn't pull the trigger on ever starting Palmer over Brady (even this week with his matchup against the Saints). Traded Palmer to Big Ben's owner for Denarius Moore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkustes03 4 Posted November 15, 2012 Currently in 2nd with a 1st round BYE, but who knows if I will stay there. I think i worked out a deal with the Vick, Rice owner for Palmer and McGahee for Rice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgcrawfish 232 Posted November 15, 2012 Palmer has become a hot commodity. I traded Palmer/J Stewart/J Kerley to another owner with a bad QB situation for Bradford/D Murray/E Decker. I have Ryan and probably won't play Bradford (although he's been playing well and I can double-dip with Amendola), but the goal was was upgrade the WR/RB situation, which I hopefully did. With any luck, McFadden will come back, Palmer will go back to being ordinary and I win all the way around! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stifler 2 Posted November 16, 2012 I have a deal on the table Palmer/Sproles/Wells for Rivers/Morris. I have Matt Ryan and have been holding Palmer for a while because I am worried that the Falcons will rest their players at the end of the season. However, Morris is a pretty big upgrade at RB over both Sproles and Mathews...guess I should quit slow playing him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idiotekniQues 0 Posted November 16, 2012 depends where you stand. if you don't need to trade, might not be bad having a good backup. not having traded Palmer = thank God when Ben is out for me. considering how QB's are getting knocked out of games lately, if you can afford it, keep him.

I really do hate to give up Palmer but Mathews and Sproles are killing me. I need one win to secure my division and a first round bye...Mathews is injured...again...and Sproles is coming off an injury. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always carry at least 2 good ones and usually 3 for insurance & having more matchup flexibility... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stonewall 647 Posted November 17, 2012 With DHB looking doubtful, doesn't this lower expectations for Palmer a bit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwentyFourSeven 23 Posted November 17, 2012 With DHB looking doubtful, doesn't this lower expectations for Palmer a bit? A bit. But he'll still have a deep threat in Moore, Streeter has been fine when in there, Reece is great and it looks like Myers will be there, on top of him throwing it a lot.

Perennial Contender 18 Posted November 17, 2012 I can't believe he is only being started in 35% of all Yahoo Leagues. Especualliy with all the QB injuries and the bye week. Im starting him over Peton this week Saints give up the MOST FF points to QB's this year. He could approach 500 yards. Really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stifler 2 Posted November 18, 2012 I ended up trading him and Sproles for Rivers and Morris...then traded Rivers for Romo. I needed Morris to offset Mathews' suckage. I hated trading him but he would never see my starting lineup over Ryan anyways. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thePRO 78 Posted November 18, 2012 Ouch...I sat RGIII for Palmer. Hope this doesn't backfire....could be ugly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
