soulfly Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I hope that I don't bother you guys too much this season, but I have yet another question that I could use some help with. I am in a 12 team, redraft, ppr. Start: QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, TE, 1 WR/RB Flex, Def, K. Starters in bold. My team: QB: Cutler, Edwards RB: S. Jackson, P. Thomas, L. White, S. Greene, L. Washington WR: Calvin Johnson, Bowe, Walter, Hester, Henry TE: D. Clark, Boss The McFadden owner would like Bowe. I have been thinking about possibly trading Bowe, Hester, and Washington for McFadden and Boldin. I think this would help my starting lineup, but it would hurt my depth. My question is: Would it be best at this stage of the preseason to keep what I have right now with my depth in case of injuries and what-not, or try to get Boldin and McFadden? That trade would put me thin at RB on week 9. I am not sold on Bowe, but I am also not sure that Boldin would be much of an upgrade. I think McFadden would be a better fit in the flex than Walter or White. All of your feedback is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Company of Heroes Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 It seems like a pretty good deal for you. You probably get the best two players (or at least two of the best three) in the deal. You get essentially a 2nd (Boldin) and 3rd (McFadden), for a 3rd (Bowe) a 5-6th (Hester) and Leon. Can your depth take the hit? You would have an open roster spot. What's available on the waiver wire??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulfly Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Actually, I need to pick up a kicker. I decided not to draft one so that I could have depth at other positions in case of trades, injuries, etc. Figured after I made a trade or discovered an injury closer to start of the season, I could pick up a kicker. Thanks for the response. I am leaning toward doing it. I just want to make sure I am not jumping the gun and taking the trade just because I like the players I am getting. Wanted to make sure others felt the same way. Sometimes I get more caught up in what I am getting than what I am giving up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Company of Heroes Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Well, all of the players (on both sides) have some risk attached but all have nice upside as well. I'd probably do the deal, but really only time will tell... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalking_Eagle Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I think I would do this in a heart beat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackdawg2020 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I would do this trade for sure. You can acquire depth throughout the year as injuries or other talent emerges into bigger roles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d-dub Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 do the deal. Boldin is the prize here. He strengthens your WR core and losing Washington doesn't really hurt your RB strength since McFadden will most likely start and Washington will not.
