Anyone else looking to deal Rodgers? (1 Viewer)

[Owning 1% of FF talent]

If I had Rodgers in a dynasty this would be a non-issue.

However, I have him in a re-draft and Manning was my backup.

Anyone else targeting another QB and an upgrade at wr or RB for him?

Trade deadline is 18th - so after this week...I would have to either trade or hold.

Thanks for carrying me to a tie for first Aaron, but I have doubts about you playing in week 15 and 16.

Rodgers is getting me over 30 every game, and without him, I am bounced out of the playoffs round one.

I actually started wondering about this too although a perfect season would keep him in there. I'm thinking whether Flynn or Flacco is the best late season choice.

I wouldn't deal away Rodgers now. Assuming he plays, he's almost always at or near the top FF QB's in any week. But as a Rodgers owner, and no bye week issues, there is plenty of good talent at QB2 on the waiver wire right now. I picked up Hass in one league and Palmer in the other (both for free)just in case they sit Rodgers during the fantasy playoffs.

If he doesn't play just pick up Flynn, you'll be fine

History shows this is unlikely - MM played starters in 09 in meaningless week 17 game. week 16 is vs Bears who played their starters with nothing to gain last year to hurt the Packers chances. MM seems to believe in rhythm and won't sit players for 2+ weeks. Also SF is only one game back and has a pretty soft schedule. they also seem like they will chase 19-0. Ive asked around my packers peeps and they seem to think it wont happen until week 17 if at all.

As a Bears fan, I hope on Christmas Day GB is favored by double digits and undefeated.

I won a title a couple years ago when Mannning and co sat for a lot of the game against the Jets. If the colts played the whole game with their starters I would have lost.

shoe is on the other foot... now I am certain karma is boomerang on me this year. (even though karma is BS )

Something to consider. GB is only 2 games up in the division, and 1 ahead of SF for the #1 seed (& home-field advantage throughout the playoffs). They are going to want the divison and the #1 seed. There is an outside chance they sit Rodgers week 17 (although they plan the Lions, so that game might be important), but virtually guaranteed they won't sit him weeks 15 & 16. The only team I can remember sitting players (who were relatively healthy) before week 17 was the Colts back in 2009. I don't think McCarthy has a history of doing this. If I were you, I wouldn't over-think this. Keep Rodgers, pick up Flynn, just in case.

Not looking to deal Rodgers but am a bit worried about him sitting out should I make it to my championship game, which is in week 17.

I am carrying 2 other QB’s right now, Cutler & Dalton, so I think I will be ok.

Does anyone think Flynn would be a better option that either Cutler or Dalton?

I have no clue what Flynn could do - but against the bears in a game you know the bears are coming hard all game...you would play Flynn with the second team?I dunnno man

The guy with both Brees and Newton is sitting at 1-8. Tempting to strap on a pair and make the offer.

 

[Phenix]

you are trying to win your league right?

what in the world would make you want to deal the number one fantasy player?

get a backup if you like but you should never condsider trading rodgers.

Second team? If you insist on believing that GB is going to rest players week 15 & 16, then yes, you should trade him. But the facts don't support that belief. My post was in reference to the more likely scenario, which is that GB doesn't rest him, and Flynn just serves as emergency insurance. In Flynn's 1 start, he played against a NE team that was coming hard at him, and he threw for 250/3 TDs. He isn't Rodgers, but in a pinch, he'll do.

If this is a redraft league, why would he make that trade, unless you threw something in? Trading either QB for Rodgers only gives him an extra 3-5 points/game, and if he is 1-8, I can't see him making the playoffs with an extra 3-5 points/game.

 

[Sigmund Bloom]

I don't know that carrying Flynn for week 17 is a great strategy since he might not play the whole and won't be playing with the key offensive starters, assuming he does play most of the game.

I would tend to agree here. As mentioned, I doubt Rodgers sits before week 17, and even if he does, you can probably find serviceable options on waivers for weeks 15 or 16. Maybe even some quality guys will have been dropped then by non-contenders.

Competitive 12 teamer - there aint NO ONE out there man. No one is going to be dropped either.

I would still take my chances going with a backup plan for a week (if that) than trade the best fantasy option for the rest of the way, but that's me.

Agreed, seems like a lot of overthinking. You first have to make the playoffs, win multiple playoff games, AND then have Rodgers sit. 12 team leagues aren't all that big (unless you start 2 QBs), I'm guessing every team drafted at least 1 back up that you can use if you absolutely had to. Unless you're getting ridiculous value for him, I wouldn't let this influence the decision.

Like others say don't do it.

Do you really want to trade a guy like Rodgers...have that team sneak into the playoffs and now they have the #1 QB on their team in the playoffs...then he doesn't sit and that team destroys you.

I am only looking at trading with those out of the playoffs - couple guys that are 2-7 and one that is 1-8 (1-8 guy has brees)I was thinking Brees/Gonzo (maybe djax as well) for Rodgers/Celek

Do you have some kind of weekly prize money or something like that? Why would a team who is out of the playoffs bother trading in a redraft?

 

[Reepicheep]

If the Packers lay down for the Bears I will be :X

I feel the same way to a lesser extent about the Lions. But if they have a chance to put the Lions out of the playoffs in week 17 I'm sure they go for it.

 

[VikingFrog]

Have Cam sitting behind him. I should be okay.

Don't worry. The Bears will begin the Lion exit from the playoff picture this Sunday. Besides - if the Packers lie down for the Bears...well, let's just say turnabout is fair play.

This must have got beaten to death in here after that game, it was right before I joined, but . . .That final drive by Chicago in week 17 was just so strange. It's like they kind of wanted to win but actually OT would suck but we can't just lay down for them so lets just kind of go out there and see what happens. Count me in the camp that doesn't think the Packers got 100% from the Bears in 4th quarter.Is that basically what you saw as a Bears fan, or what were you thinking there?
