Which D/SPT trade would you do?

[richig07]

If any...

Trade A:

GIVE: Travis Benjamin, Panthers D/SPT
RECEIVE: Bills D/SPT

Trade B:

GIVE: Travis Benjamin, Panthers D/SPT
RECEIVE: Patriots D/SPT, Phillip Rivers

Made a thread here about a similar deal for the Vikings D, and the owner wound up backing out last second.

My other QB is Palmer, so the trade for Rivers could give me a nice platoon option. Rivers has OAK and CLE in my league's Semi-Final and Championship rounds too. Something to consider.

Bills D in those two weeks: CLE and MIA
Pats D in those two weeks: DEN and NYJ

Other WR's: B. Marshall, D. Baldwin, D. Moncrief, S. Smith

So... I can kind of spare Benjamin. My team is in great shape and D/SPT has been my only weak spot.

Oakland D is beginning to come around, they still aren't a negative matchup, but they aren't a positive either. A handful of free agents are beginning to gel with the young guys and have been improving, and if their current trajectory continues, they might be a negative matchup by the time Rivers rolls into town during the playoffs. just something to consider.

I personally wouldn't trade Lil Benji for either of those 2 D's...when trading for a DST, it's gotta be one if the elites, Denver, Minn, maybe Seattle, not one that should do well against certain matchups, thers not enough meat on that bone to make it trade worthy, imho

Yeah, I just don't really need Benjamin. That's the thing. I have enough depth and he'll never start over Marshall or Baldwin.

Bills D has double digits the last four weeks, BTW. Been on fire.

Still a no-go?

obviously it depends on how your defense scores exactly, but are you sure you don't mean last three weeks? The 4th one, the Jets, was pretty brutal, other than a defensive score, they probably should've had a 0, or negative, but the other 3, including a date with Jacoby Brisset and one with Case Keenum, only the decent showing against Palmer and the cards is really somewhat impressive, and even he's been off his game lately.
to me, yes it is still a no. ..but I mean if your confident Lil Benji is nothing but spare parts, I guess you could do worse

Yeah, I suppose you're right. That stretch of offense's they played was pretty brutal.

 

[DUB]

Can you list a couple on waivers... Is Titans around or Ravens?

-DUB-

 

[TKOSpikes]

Trade B for sure!

 

[TREFF]

Trade B for sure!

gah, I totally overlooked Rivers in trade B...yea absolutely, that one is great,

 

[ehb5]

I wouldnt do either. I wouldnt trade Benjamin that easily. Hes solid and I dont really see what you gain from these trades.

IDK, as a Palmer owner I got to say he has been pretty shaky this year so far, so getting Rivers would be comforting.

Trade B hands down
