edit- i guess i should have asked if this deal was worth it for me lol... what do you guys think about this offer?
I wouldn't do it. I think Turner has a lot of upside and wouldn't give him up unless I was getting something special in return. I think Turner will have a much better season than Edge and at worst will put up similar numbers. Not to mention Boldin and Fitz will take touches away from Edge in the red zone, where as with the Falcons' offense, Turner will get more chances at punching the ball into the endzone.
Turner hasn't proven anything, and he's playing behind a crapty O-Line. Edge will get another 1200 yards this year and is good for about 8 TDs. Thats not that great, but I guarantee if Turner doesn't turn out to be more than just a backup you'll wish you'd taken it.
you are already loaded in picks, you don't need to downgrade from Turner to edge in a keeper, don't do it
the trade is actually pretty balanced. If your like your chances with turner from what he has done(P16 said it best, no line in atl), if not I would take it and use that pick for edge's possible replacement. Fantasy is about those who have proven to be valuable, like what you have with lewis and johnson, and you take small risks on value positions like a running back, like with a solid weapon in rice. Turner had one of the best o-lines in the nfl and was not in the spotlight like he will be with the falcons. If possible, I would give it two weeks in and then make the trade because by then you will be able to see if turner shows flashes of anything, as well as if edge can keep up.
