Tempting trade but would have to give away Freeman. Your thoughts?
PPR Scoring 12 team

I would receive: Cam Newton, Jonathan Stewart, Carolina Defense
I would give away: Devonta Freeman, Demaryius Thomas

My lineup:
Eli Manning
DeAngelo Williams, Devonta Freeman
Antonio Brown, Odell Beckham, Allen Robinson
Eifert
Chris Boswell
Rams Def

Bench:
Demaryius Thomas
Julius Thomas
Buccaneers Defense
Ronnie Hillman
Doug Baldwin
Jeremy Langford
James White
Scott Chandler
Jordan Todman

Freeman's best games are behind him. Atlanta's schedule gets pretty difficult as they have to play Carolina twice in 3 weeks, plus their early season momentum has come to a halt. Demaryius Thomas is on my bench. I would take an obvious hit at RB but would upgrade substantially at QB and Defense. Also the championship is week 17 if that should make a difference. Any feedback appreciated. Thank you.

    DO NOT DO IT! 1. The goal of any trade is to get the best skill players (RB/WR/TE), that is what the OTHER guy is doing to you. 2. In week 17 Cam could be resting with home field locked up throughout playoffs. 3. Do not overvalue QB's. Look back at the championship teams in past years, other leagues, so on. QB is one of, if not the most "stream-able" positions. You don't need Cam, dude's bating you. 4. CAR DST is strong but can be run on, look at the numbers. Freeman is a STUD runner and pass catcher in an offense that needs him desperately. The entire offense runs through Free. Also, he is a bigger difference maker than Cam. Example, RB1 vs RB12 production much wider than QB1 vs QB 12. Do the math. 5. Hold DT and use him as a WR flex when the match-ups calls for it. 6. You have a championship team just play the match-ups but don't over think it. "Dance with who brought you". 7. Rams DST is not your starter, TB is. 8. Don't take the bait and be a sucker, these are sharks, experienced players, hoping you bite. 9. You take this trade, you lose and I would bet you don't win another game in the playoffs. 10. Sit tight and go get em' champ!

    Jason he has Aaron Rodgers on his bench. I just countered with DThomas and James White for Aaron Rodgers and Dez. He accepted
