Is this a dumb move? He's in my division and my other QB is Rivers. My plan would be to drop Marvin Jones and pick up Mariota as my backup. I'd be getting Jarvis Landry.
Here's my squad right now:
QB: Rivers and Eli
RB: Le'Veon, Foster, Abdullah, Spiller and Forsett
WR: Mega, Evans, Edelman, Stevie Johnson and M. Bryant
TE: Eifert
League is a 10 team, 1 point PPR
Any suggestions would be great.
PPR, I'd do Eli for Landry. I don't think that's a dumb move. I think getting Mariota will give you a perfectly fine backup, and that's a pretty good trade. I really like Mariota as your backup behind Rivers and Landry should be solid in a PPR. The Dolphins did this last year too and I think they're too talented to stay so bad.
Thanks Brandon, I completed the trade.
