Those guys you listed are all probably backups, though Garcia, Cutler and Eli might be the other owner’s starter. Rivers has the best playoff schedule of any of them, with two good matchups during your playoffs. I’d probably rank them Garcia, Rivers, Manning and Cutler. I wouldn’t get rid of Rivers unless you have to. If you were to give he and Smith up, you should be getting a clear upgrade at QB, and none of these guys are a clear upgrade.

If you really want to get rid of Smith and give yourself more options at QB, I might offer Smith for Garcia or Manning – that would give you some options during the playoffs if Rivers isn’t playing well (but he put up pretty good numbers yesterday). Since you’re sure you want to get rid of Smith, Smith for Warner wouldn’t be bad, either. You can hope that Kurt stays healthy and is an option along with Rivers.

Do you start 3 WR? You need to cover yourself in case one of those guys goes down.

wat qbs u think i shud look for for a trade of rivers and smith that the owner will do:
losman, griese, cutler, garcia, smith, eli?
my playoffs only 15 and 16

reason im dealin smith is i got henry, colston, and hackett, all who i want to start over smith.

Here’s what Rotoworld has to say about Henry/Young:

The Denver Post expects Travis Henry (knee) to be active Monday night.
The Post points out that the Broncos have no reason to save Henry, as he’ll have a full year to recover from the knee injury with his suspension looming. Even if Henry is active and starts, there’s a good chance he won’t make it through. Henry is recovering from a torn left PCL, and if he’s unable to explode, coach Mike Shanahan will likely turn to the hot hand (Selvin Young).

Pay attention to the inactives about 1 hr before kickoff. If Henry is inactive, obviously Young is your man. If he’s active, you have a decision to make. If you put a gun to my head, I’d go with Young, because he’s healthier.

Smith & Rivers for Warner and White…it looks like that owner is trying to trade his depth (White + Warner) for a potential starter in Smith. He’s gambling that there’s a good chance that Smith will come back strong.

Also, you may want to take anotehr look at the matchups. My numbers show that Warner has one bad matchup (Week 14) and one good matchup (Week 15) while Rivers has one bad (14) and two good (Weeks 15 & 16). Smith has one good (14), one bad (15) and one mediocre (16). White has two mediocre (14 & 15) and one good (16).

This sounds like it’s a decision about Phillip Rivers. Do you feel comfortable with him as your starter? Warner can get hot, but he’s also a sack away from missing the rest of the season with some ailment. I think he’s fine as a spot starter, but I wouldn’t want to hitch my wagon to him unless I was desperate. How much does White help your RB situation – are you in a position to start him?
