Currently 9-1 and all but have a first-round bye (Week 14) locked up as the top seed. I've been rolling with Russell Wilson all season and am concerned he doesn't really have plus matchups in Weeks 15-16. Was considering dealing for Big Ben who has NE and Houston in back-to-back weeks. Also have AB, so I could stack them. Am I overthinking this or should I try and make this happen? The owner who currently has Ben is 4-6 and plays Stafford each week. I could probably get him on the cheap at this point.

Try and deal for Big Ben or am I overthinking this? (1 Viewer)

I would be fine with just rolling out Wilson. Even in bad matchups he will still put up decent numbers as he is their only offense. Everything runs through him. That won't change. If you can get Big Ben without giving up anything of value it doesn't hurt to have some insurance but I wouldn't go out of my way to give up anything of value to get him.
What about for Burkhead if I have Ingram, McKinnon and Tevin ahead of him. Have DJ as well but not holding out hope he returns.
I wouldn't give up Burkhead. I think he will finish very strong and would have him above Tevin (provided Freeman is back on the field).

Burkhead faces the Bills twice and Dolphins twice, two awful run defenses. You're always playing Bellichick roulette with a NE running back, but if he is the lead back in that offense you don't want to give him up. I do like the idea of picking up Ben, but after Thursday night your trade partner probably raised the price.
