Well without giving us your League and team setting I cant give a full answer.

That being said Melo is the better and healthier player

Wade is regularly ranked higher than Melo.. But yea, if you're worried about injuries then Melo is usually the healther one

Melo is definitely better than Wade this season and I think the trend continues. Bosh has looked much more aggressive this season and things will probably stay that way until the playoffs. Wade looks bored of the regular season and doesn't mind letting the younger superstars (Lebron and Bosh) carry the load. Ray Allen and Battier on the side hitting 3s really reduces the need for Wade to put in much work.

If you could guarantee health for both guys I would take Wade for sure. I'd be surprised if he doesn't end up ranked higher on a per game basis. But since it looks like Wade is going to be a mess to own this year I'd look to trade him. I might see if you can do better than Anthony though. Carmelo is never really top tier in fantasy and he's only ranked 38th this year despite a solid start. This might sound crazy but I would consider offering Wade for Batum. Batum is probably going to be a top 10 guy this year but isn't sexy. Heck, you might even be able to get Batum plus somebody if the guy falls for names.

Yes, a healthy prime Wade is better because of his defensive stats and great rebound and assts for a SG

But Melo is on a mission this year and is primed for a MVP type season

Wade will probably only pick it up during the playoffs

Thats not crazy at all, I would do a Batum for Wade 8-)
