Phil asked in SportsFantasy Sports · 1 decade ago

Did I make a mistake with this trade?

I traded Vincent Jackson for LeSean McCoy.

V Jax is suspended for the first 3 games and I was worried he might not even show up, and my RB's are crap.

Team so far:

WR: Brandon Marshall, Marques Colston, Terrell Owens, Steve Breaston

RB: Ray Rice, Matt Forte, Cadilac Williams, Marion Barber

Right or wrong move?

    If you GOT LeSean McCoy, you made a great move. He could be a top rb, and there is no telling whats up with VJax

    If you Traded Away LeSean McCoy, that was really dumb dude.

    its a close call

    Marshall and Colstan are sure fire starters each week, but TO and Breaston are not strong #3 options. Ray rice is your starting rb each week, but forte, williams, and barber are all decent #2s. I usually tell people to hang on to jackson to see what happens after week 3. i expect him to come back because i dont think he will miss the whole 10 games. Lesean is also a decent #2 because he will be sharing carries with bell and their FB. the eagles will be more of a passing team this year with kolb so i dont think mccoy will put up that big of numbers.

    its very close but i think the other guy got the better deal, but only by a little bit :/

    good luck this season, your team looks strong even without jackson!

    Well it all depends on your scoring system. If your league values TDs heavily McCoy is downgraded significantly. But in standard scoring you'll be alright for a couple of reasons. First, we don't know what team V-Jax will play for. That impacts his value significantly. He likely won't have a guy of Rivers' caliber throwing to him. He might get stuck in, say, Seattle? Ruh roh. Also, if he doesn't get traded he will sit out the 1st 10 games (because GM AJ Smith insulted him and lowered his restricted free agency tender). If he were to patch things up with management he's suspended for the 1st 3 games.

    Your RBs aren't crap though. Caddy will get the bulk of the carries in Tampa, Barber could as well when Felix Jones inevitably gets hurt. Rice is at least the 4th best back in fantasy and Forte will bounce back because he will catch a ton of passes a la Marshall Faulk in Mike Martz's offense.

    Ya if u got Lesean than it was a great trade if ur RB's stink. He is great and is now ur 2nd best RB. He will have a breakout season.
