Got offered RGIII and Titus Young for AJ Green.

12 team 0.5 PPR league, 6 points per passing TD. I'm in 10th place (3-5) and have scored the 8th most points. 4 teams make the playoffs.

3 WR league with a flex. My other WRs are Jeremy Maclin, Lance Moore, Sidney Rice, and Kenny Britt.

I have 3 RBs, one of whom could slot into the flex: Shady McCoy, Trent Richardson, and Michael Turner.

My current QBs are Rivers, Schaub, and Fitzpatrick and I have basically just been playing matchups.

Do I take it or should I keep AJ Green and continue to play QB matchups?

Tough call...Griffin is good for like 25 points a week or so I would imagine...But I think your Qbs are good enough and you get to keep Green, who may be the best WR in football.

That is how I am leaning, but I've been burned by awful QB play this year (Rivers has laid some massive eggs) and I'm a little sensitive to it. I'll probably keep Green and roll the dice with my QBs, but what if I countered with RGIII and Hakeem Nicks for AJ Green? Not sure if he'd go for it, but is it worth it then?

I don't make that trade. Hes gonna need to do better than Titus Young IMO. Who else does he have? I don't know if I trust Nicks to stay healthy.

Mike Williams and Andre Johnson in the WR department.

Hmm. I'd have to think about RG3 and Johnson. Even with the injury risk I think I'd take Nicks over him though.

If Nicks season long injury outlook is positive, then I probably make that deal.

My other approach would be to go after Josh Freeman who is one of his backups. I asked him about Freeman and he indicated he'd give him to me for the NYG Defense. I'm not sure how big of an upgrade he is over Schaub/Rivers/Fitzpatrick, but he's having a really good season, especially lately, and I'm certainly willing to trade a Defense for a skill player. You can always play Defenses off the waiver wire based on matchups.

That might be a better way to go. But like SG said, if the outlook on Nicks is very positive that is probably a deal worth making. He just makes me nervous.

The other thing to take into account here is that neither RGIII nor Nicks have had a bye yet while AJ Green has. Therefore, I wouldn't be getting as many weeks of either as he would of Green.
