    Hi all, need some help here. Will close thread upon making decision.

    sooo

    Should i trade Dwayne Bowe for Ravens D/ST

    I have at WR: Reggie Wayne, Roddy White, and Calvin Johnson
    I have at D/ST: Bears

    The bears have been hit or miss like every week, so do i make this trade?

    Thanks

    In my league, defenses make a huge difference. Bowe is okay, but the Ravens are a spectacular defense. Lots of sacks, interceptions and turnovers. You have enough weapons at WR to not miss him.

    I have the Bears too, and they're driving me to distraction. Losing Urlacher was huge. In my league I'd make that deal in a heartbeat.

    with no bye weeks left I'd pretty much pick those other 3 every time over Bowe... and like Maxiep mentioned The Ravens Defense is a Monster. I wouldnt hesitate to pull the trigger.

    I think you're confusing Wayne with Gonzalez.

    Baltimore should be great next week, against Cleveland. After that game, they face Indianapolis, Pittsburgh, and GB in successive weeks. Then Detroit, Chicago, and Pittsburgh to close out the fantasy season. Somewhat difficult schedule coming up.

    That's a dick move, for sure. I hate when that happens. I'm in a keeper league, which helps avoid that situation some, because you have to think about future years. Keeps people somewhat paying attention more, even if they're 0-7 or something, because they can still trade for next season, as opposed to just ignoring the site after a bad start like that. One of my biggest complaints about fantasy football, especially playing on public leagues, where you don't know anyone. Seems to always happen there.

    Seems like you should be able to get more than a defense for Bowe, but Bowe has been rather dissapointing this season. Will he take C.Johnson instead? If you feel like you need a better D and Bowe will be on your bench, then go for it.
