Trade away Brandon Marshall? (1 Viewer)

[wheeleke]

I play in a 10-team, 2 QB, .5 ppr league. My record will be 3-2 after tonight's game. My roster is: QB - Luck, Tannehill, Romo; WR - Marshall, Hilton, Landry, Maclin; RB - Elliott, McKinnon, Jennings, DeAndre Washington, Smallwood; TE - Eifert, Z. Miller; DEF: Philadelphia; K: Bailey

My main areas of concern are at my 2nd QB spot because I don't feel confident rolling Tannehill out there any longer and Romo isn't due back until Week 8 assuming he gets his job back. Owner in my league offered Doug Baldwin and Tyrod Taylor for Brandon Marshall. Is this a fair offer? Plus side is Baldwin has already had bye week, he has put up (on average) more points per game this season than Marshall, he has a better QB. Marshall hasn't had bye week, is getting tons of targets with Decker injured. Tyrod Taylor fills my week 8 when Tannehill (and maybe Romo is out still) is out on bye. And he fills in Week 10 when Luck is on his bye week. 

The rest of his roster is: QB - Brady, Flacco, Bradford, Taylor; RB - Gurley, Bell, Hyde; WR - E. Sanders, Demaryius Thomas, Baldwin, E. Royal; TE - Jordan Reed, Jimmy Graham

So I was proposed an offer of Baldwin and Tyrod Taylor for Marshall. I was also offered Marcus Mariota for Jarvis Landry. Thought about turning around to another owner if the Baldwin/Taylor trade goes through and offering Baldwin/Maclin for his Allen Robinson. I don't want to get too trade happy and trade just to trade but Tannehill is not doing it for me and I think over time, Taylor has more upside than Tannehill and I don't lose a ton at receiver.

ARob, Hilton, Landry with trading for Taylor

Marshall, Hilton, Maclin with trading for Mariota

I think I would go after Taylor/ARob but only if I knew I could get ARob deal by doing the first deal for Taylor/Baldwin.  If I couldn't get ARob I think I would get after Mariota

Thanks! I just responded to your post!

I would do the tyrod Baldwin deal for Marshall. Tannehill is garbage. Although be careful and don't base one trade on a possible second trade. To many variables.

Thanks. I'm leaning towards this option.

I would do the Tyrod deal too. I don't think Baldwin will be much of a drop off from Marshall and Tyrod's next 2 matchups are great against SF and MIA. If Romo comes back week 8, that would be absolutely perfect, but if not Taylor is still a solid option.

Thanks! Now, I'm tempted to just pick up Kaepernick off waivers and see what happens there rather than to trade away Marshall, but I do agree with your post. Tyrod has some good upcoming matchups and Baldwin will put up similar numbers to Marshall (despite maybe not seeing the same number of targets)

I would pick up Kap and drop Smallwood

I would pick up Kap and drop Smallwood

Would you pick him up and NOT do the trade, or do the trade and still pick up Kaepernick?

I would pick Kap up and do the trade for Taylor and Baldwin...there has to be other teams needing qbs that you may be able to deal Kap or Tannehill to
