Keeper League Trade

[tomfin2000]

12 Team Keeper league; RB scoring: 1 pt per 10 yds rushing/receiving, 6 pts per TD, bonus points for over 100 yards rushing. No PPR.

 

My Team:

 

QB: E. Manning, J. Kitna

RB: C. Portis, W. McGahee, D. McAllister, J. Addai, J. Norwood, W. Lundy

WR: L. Fitzgerald, R. Wayne, D. Mason, A. Bryant, A. Lelie

TE: T. Heap, T. Scheffler

K: J. Reed

DEF: Ravens

 

I've been offered Edge straight up for McGahee. The 61 yard TD run last night was nice, but given the state of the Bills in general, my gut tells me to take it and run. I'd rather not have a starting RB and starting WR from the same team (Edge and Fitz) but that's not a dealbreaker.

 

We can keep 2 RBs overall, but only 3 players from the prior season's keeper list. The advantage here is that if I do the deal, I can keep another player from this year's list (Manning, Portis, McGahee, Fitzgerald, Mason, Heap). There are some good players in there, so that could raelly help.

 

Thoughts?

If you can keep McGahee for next season and beyond I don't do the deal. If you can keep McGahee for only next season I still don't do the deal but it is VERY close. If you can't keep McGahee next season I then do the deal. My overall point is Edge should be better than McGahee this season but not a TON better. By next season I think they can be around the same. The season after I would rather have McGahee no doubt.

That's a tough call ... right now I have Edge projected to be maybe 1.5-2 PPG better than Willis this season, but that's taking (I think) perhaps a bit of an optomistic view of the ARZ o-line's abilities, and with scoring calculated for a PPR league.

 

 

Given that (if I read your post correctly) you essentially get an extra keeper this year if you make the deal however, I'd be very tempted to pull the trigger and worry about next year ... well, next year.

I can keep McGahee indefinitely, but at the expense of another player on my roster. For example, if I don't do the deal, I can only keep three players from this year's list:

 

QB: E. Manning

RB: Portis, McGahee

WR: Fitzgerald, Mason

TE: Heap

 

So based on what we know now, I would probably keep Portis, McGahee, and Fitzgerald.

 

If I do the deal, then I could keep Manning, Portis and Fitzgerald from last season and Edge from this season.

 

That's just a "bonus" of doing the deal though, not something that would be much of a factor in making the decision, and it sounds like you guys think I'm better off with McGahee than Edge.

So like TS said you do get an extra keeper if you do the deal. I would do it then, but to be honest with you I think just McGahee on his own not taking his team into account is a stud player. Now he does have some bad circumstances around him but he is a stud himself. So next year maybe and certainly after that I would rather have McGahee, but Edge should be good for this season and maybe 2 more, plus you do have Portis, Eli, and Fitz, so I'd do it then.
