Straight up, I would be getting Eli and I would trade Romo. Romo has been great for me the past few weeks but am I crazy for not accepting this trade. Sure Eli has had a few bad games but 2 weeks ago, this trade would never have been possible. My backup right now is Trent. I'm in first and ~95% chance i'll make the playoffs so this move would be more for the playoffs weeks. Thanks.. deadline for trades is tomorrow.

Why? Why the heck would you do it? You're in first and Romo has been kicking Eli's ass in fantasy points.

Hold Romo, pray that Trent Green stays upright, and look for another backup to keep you in it if Romo gets hurt or falters. Don't go trading for a guy whose team is beset with injuries and who's been somewhat inconsistent.

Stick with what got you there. There's a reason the other guy is willing to give you Eli for Romo. Think about it. In fantasy football, you always go with the hot hand.

Looking at their schedules, they are pretty even in the playoffs.
They both play Philly and NO, with the Gmen seeing ATL and Dallas
seeing Carolina. Not really worth considering, however, I do
believe you might be able to do better.

I usually give a new QB about 5 weeks before defenses start
reading him and shutting him down. Romo has been on fire, but
why don't you try to hock him to someone else for a better QB than
Eli? You might be surprised at what you can get...
