Ive been scheming a way to get Andre Johnson for 3 weeks now (we drafted early), and Ive finally got his owners interest. Am I crazy to pull the trigger on this deal in a non-ppr, standard ESPN 10 team league?

Andre Johnson for Tim Hightower, Antonio Gates, and Deion Branch.

My roster:
QB Michael Vick, Phi
RB LeGarrette Blount, TB
RB Shonn Greene, NYJ
RB/WR Tim Hightower, Wsh
WR Calvin Johnson, Det
WR Plaxico Burress, NYJ
TE Antonio Gates, SD
D/ST Broncos D/ST
K Nick Folk, NYJ

Bench Marshawn Lynch, Sea
Bench Josh Freeman, TB
Bench Chad Ochocinco, NE WR
Bench Roy Williams, Chi WR Q
Bench Willis McGahee, Den RB
Bench Darren Sproles, NO RB
Bench Deion Branch, NE WR

His roster:
QB Aaron Rodgers, GB
RB Knowshon Moreno, Den RB
RB James Starks, GB RB
RB/WR Ryan Mathews, SD
WR Andre Johnson, Hou
WR Miles Austin, Dal
TE Owen Daniels, Hou
D/ST Eagles D/ST
K Mason Crosby, GB

Bench Ryan Grant, GB RB
Bench Austin Collie, Ind WR
Bench Malcom Floyd, SD WR
Bench Matthew Stafford, Det QB
Bench Jacoby Ford*, Oak WR O
Bench Ronnie Brown, Phi RB
Bench Mark Sanchez, NYJ QB

As the rosters show, we start QB, RB, RB, RB/WR, WR, WR, TE, DST, K. Should I do this deal even though my RBs are clearly very weak? Are Sproles or McGahee good enough to be flex plays? The idea of Vick/Johnson/Johnson really intrigues me. If I do the deal, what TEs should I go after on the waiver wire?

I dont like the deal for you at all. You are giving up way to much. gates is a receiver with a TE tag. Branch could have a big year if ocho cinco stays behind him on the depth chart, and hightower is gonna have a good year as well. Off topic why does that guy have 3 QB's? :lol:
