Get: Mike Sims-Walker and Heath Miller Give: Welker

[ellisar]

I've been offered Sims-Walker and Miller for Wes Welker

I'm hurting at TE with Greg Olsen, had Keller but just picked up Olsen of waivers. I could use more depth at receiver since Calvin is injured. Welker is great in my PPR league though. Should i do this trade?

My other receivers are:
Calvin Johnson
Tory Holt
Johnny Knox

should i counter with:
Welker and Sproles
for
Sims-Walker, Heath and Addai?

I like the trade better for you if you get addai as well, but i really don't like it for you either way

I actually like the trade for you. Heath is the 4th best WR in a PPR league and Sims has been pretty solid when he is in and always a endzone threat. I would do it....the counter helps you even more.

The counter is definitely better for u. I don't really know ppr rankings anymore but isn't welker a ppr monster? Would the downgrade from welker to msw be less than the upgrade to Heath and addai? I'd just do the math, look at schedule and decide from there

Definitely have to agree. You need some RB help IMO so the counter is definitely in your better interest, but idk, that said... How badly are you really hurting with Olsen?

He is way more involved in the CHI offense than Miller will be going forward. Olsen is the equivalent to the #2/3 receiver, whereas Miller sits at #4 with some crazy talent ahead of him. Whatever your decision, keep these things in mind:

-Miller had three great games...against three bad teams, three bad defenses (SD, Det, Cle)

-Miller has a tough sched coming up, and averages only 3 pts against good defenses

-Miller is on a bye this week

-With Forte struggling, the check downs will go to Olsen up the middle. PLus, he has the ability to go upfield, up the middle.

-Cutler will stop trying to make plays and will go to the safe bet. the TE is every struggling QBs security blanket (see: Davis, Vernon and Smith, Alex)

If i was gonna make the trade it would be to get addai, not so much to get Miller and rid myself of Olsen, who has his best games ahead of him. TEs can be found on the wire more often than not, not so with RBs or WR, ESPECIALLY in PPR leagues. Welker is a ppr machine AND a TD scoring machine. MSW is only the latter. Think long and hard about giving him up.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I think I'm going to stick with Welker. He's just too good to drop. I'll take my chances with my RBs and play matchups.
