aminer Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 14 team Standard (Big play points jacked up... i.e 40yards+ TDs/rec/rush) Should I trade Jason Witten for Jerrick Mckinnon? QB: Brees/ Hoyer TE: Jason Witten, Travis Kelce, Jordan Reed (1 depth chart spot) RB: Asiata, Chris Johnson, Steven Jackson, Antone Smith, Benny Cunningham (2 depth chart spots) WR: AJ Green, Mohamed Sanu, Jordy Nelson, Michael Crabtree, Allen Robinson (3 depth chart spots) Witten has been doing mediocre <10pts/game and pass blocking a LOT , while I'm stacked on TEs . Mckinnon looks tempting . There are 2 flex positions as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Your RBs are so bad - no offense - that yeah, that's the kind of risky type of trade that you gotta pull off in order to turn things around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aminer Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) I know first year in FF. I had eddie Lacy, and expect CJ2YPC to do something. But lucky for me antone smith has been breaking out almost 30 pts a game. Doesnt help I was one of the last picks as well.

Finn5033 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Yes Mckinnon will get a lot more touches than Witten, and you need the RB help. You have Kelce to play the ROS anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwolf68 Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 (edited) Yes...not to echo what others have said, but McKinnon will help your RBs, and I think Whitten's days as a top flight fantasy tight end are over. Kelce has the potential to be way better than Whitten if the Hamburgler will let him play more. Edited October 15, 2014 by kwolf68 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwfootball Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 McKinnon is very explosive with a lot of upside. Now that he APPEARS to be the starter, he's a very good pickup for an offense that basically has to depend on the run since the passing game isn't very good yet.

turbinator Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Yes. I'd definitely take McKinnon for witten Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdybaz Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Completely agree on trading for McKinnon, just be aware his head coach is apparently an idiot: Coach Mike Zimmer said he wants to get Matt Asiata more touches this week against the Bills. Zimmer expanded and added that he wants Jerick McKinnon's touches to come down from Week 6. Against the Lions last Sunday, McKinnon out-touched Asiata 17-3 and out-snapped Asiata 48-15. Zimmer wants that to change because Asiata is "dependable," and added that running backs who can't pass-protect can "get the quarterback killed." We take that as a direct reference to the raw McKinnon. We still like McKinnon as an RB2 based on natural talent, while Asiata is a low-upside RB3 who is wholly dependent on scoring touchdowns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
She-Rocks Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Yes - do it - you have depth at TE and need the RB help ... Witten has been losing targets and with Murray running whereever he wants, Witten will not be as big of a factor like he has in years past.
