I realize there is a separate forum for fantasy issues, but it seems to be lightly traveled.

If it is OK to ask, I cleverly picked up Santonio Holmes on the free agent waiver wire, and another contestant is offering Larry Fitzgerald straight up.

My first thought was, no, but then I thought I'd ask around.
What do you guys think?

Where it is real F ing COLD
I do this deal and take Fitzgerald.. Better track record... Sanchez the better QB but I think you have to go with the go to WR and hope it all gets worked out.. Plus the Jets run the ball and they have more options in Keller and Edwards.. JMO

Thanks. You might want Favre back after the trade for 81.
My starters are Rivers, Foster, McCoy ( benching this week due to ribs), Roddy White, Holmes,Santana Moss, Gates.

Loaded for bear, but seems like a deal that can't hurt. I am just nervous about who will get the ball to Fitz.

Tough call, but Breaston is due back soon with the Cardinals. Me personally, I would make the deal for a few reasons, and yes I know Max Hall is starting.

1. Jets run the ball, and don't necessarily throw the ball more than 25 times per game.

2. Often they should be winning, therefore come second half how much will they be throwing?

3. More weapons in NY, Edwards and Keller, along with 2 RBS.

4. Weather weather and more weather come your playoff season.

5. Holmes is in a new system, and has not played yet, so will he grasp it even know he has practiced, and often times we see these guys get injured, hamstring or groin. He hasn't played in a month from preseason.

6. MOST IMPORTANTLY, if your league is set up like mine, where your playoffs are week 14-16, NY has Miami at home, at Pittsburgh, and at Chicago. All three playoff contention teams with better than average defenses and again weather. Not that Fitzs is better going against or at home with Denver (Bailey), at Carolina, and home against Dallas.

7. One would think Arizona will be forced to throw the ball more, but until Breaston gets back to open things a bit this might be tough to get Fitz enough touches.

Anywhooo, I would make the trade myself, but what do I know. All this Holmes probably goes off.

Good luck.

You guys make great points. Thanks to all of you.

My fear is that Holmes is going to explode after being off. ANd they do have multiple options, Keller is a monster.

I think I may wait a week.And gamble that value is still high and accept then if it is still on the table. Team is solid, so kinda wanting to sit pat.
