I have Chad Johnson on one fantasy team and need a QB since I just have Aaron Brooks and Leftwitch as my QBs.  

The trade I am thinking about making is with a guy that has Trent Green (his starter), Hasselback, and Farve as his QBs, but he's weak at WR.  

I would replace Chad Johnson with Javon Walker and Darell Jackson is my other starting WR.  Would you make this deal?

Yeah...single season. Not a keeper.  And since Carson is the QB and he's ???, that's why I thought I could offer him now and get Hasselback.

Is it 1QB, 2RB, 2WR?  What is the scoring system?

I think you may be fine with Brooks.

It's a QB, 2 RB 2 WR 1 RB/QB and only a 6 person league.

My team:
QB A. Brooks (NO - QB)
WR C. Johnson (Cin - WR)
WR C. Chambers (Mia - WR)
RB L. Tomlinson (SD - RB)
RB D. McAllister (NO - RB)
TE T. Gonzalez (KC - TE)
WR/RB C. Portis (Was - RB)
BN D. Jackson (Sea - WR)
BN J. Walker (GB - WR)
BN T. Henry (Buf - RB)
BN B. Leftwich (Jac - QB)
BN K. Jones (Det - RB)
BN I. Bruce (StL - WR)
BN M. Bennett

I would keep Chad Johnson.  Why not try to get Favre (since he is his 3rd QB) and float him an offer Isaac Bruce and Leftwich for Favre and ? (weak WR on his team)?

Brooks is a good fantasy QB except come December.  It may be a good idea to get a Favre although Leftwich has more upside, he is still a very young QB and has not looked good in TC or preseason.

Yeah Brooks is a solid fantasy QB.
Last 3 years he's had 24, 26, and 27 TDs respectively.

whereas Trent Green has only had 24, 26, 17. Yes Trent has thrown for a couple hundred yards more each season, but what is that 8 points spread throughout the entire season, Priest Holmes takes away all of Green's TDs, and although some (MURP ;)) think Green is some great fantasy QB, he really isn't more than above average as an overall fantasy player)

Last year Brooks had a 59.1% completion rate, and had 24 TDs and only 8 INTs.

Brooks has good WRs, a solid TE, and an all-world RB who not only is a great rushing back, but also caught 69 passes last season.

Don't give up Chad Johnson IMO unless you package him with someone else and pick up someone big time.

[joking] Bulger sucks ;), Orlando Pace is holding out, and Kyle Turley has back problems, not to mention that Faulk is questionable.    :D :-X [/joking]

Actually having Brooks and Bulger is very solid depth at the QB position.  Brooks for 3 years running has shown to be a good fantasy QB as long as you have strength in other areas, i.e. having better RBs than Kevin Jones and Kevan Barlow. :D
