Trade B.Jacobs for K.Smith? WHIR 100%!!!

[WhipperSnappers44]

Hey all.....was wondering if I should trade B.Jacobs to another guy in my league for K.Smith straight 1 for 1, with others included, or not at all???

This is a 12 Team H2H league with IDP's, 1PT PPR, no WW (2 Supp drafts with 2 picks each after weeks 4 and 8) We can have unlimited players on our team as well.

I personally don't know if Jacobs will hold up all season long and Bradshaw is there as well. I tried to get Bradshaw but the guy wants too much for him. I am from Detroit so I kind of like K.Smith and he has no real backup threat so.....but I am thinking Jacobs has far greater value and was wondering who I should ask for with K.Smith in order to make this trade fair? (the other guy won't trade AJ or Fitz for anyone)

Thanks and I will 100% help yours!

if i were you i would stick with jacobs. he's a goal line machine and who knows what the lions will do. i like smith but jacobs is safer.

I'd do it, but I love Smith this year... no competition AND he gets his share of catches which should (in theory) make up the lack of Lions scoring.

By your signature it seems like it is a PPR. Given that, I think I would prefer Kevin Smith by a little bit, as I think he's going to consistently get thrown to out of the backfield, as I think they will have to throw to the checkdown quite a bit due to the poor offensive line. Jacobs probably won't get too many catches, and I think the difference in TD's between Smith and Jacobs will be overweighed by the extra yds and catches Smith will get.

This is a tough one...but I still think that Jacobs has more value. In the end, Smith may end up with more Fantasy points, but at this time, I think you could get a little more foe Jacobs IF you really don't want him.

Thanks for the replies.....I'm getting to everyone elses right now so please be patient!

So.....there are mixed reviews here with half and half going both ways.

I feel as well that I would be giving up just a tad too much so my question is what else do I ask for in return? I was thinking of a couple upgrades at the IDP positions (is that about right?) I know most people don't know too much about the IDP's so I won't go into name dropping of who I would upgrade but say I traded Jacobs and a couple lesser valued IDP's for K.Smith and a couple higher ranked IDP's....would this be good?

BTW.....I tried just about everyone else in trades for Jacobs and nobody is biting (ie....Grant, R.Brown, Portis, etc....)

Thanks again and I'm getting to yours!

I think this is a pretty easy choice - keep Jacobs for the first 3 games, at least. Smith is in for a long season. Lousy team, rookie QB, and even if Stafford does well, that offense is going to produce nothing consistent. Detroit will be playing from behind almost every game, and that means Smith will be a RB2 at best. You've already got an RB2 on a winning team - Jacobs -- Forte is your RB1. So, you're trading RB2 on a losing team that will be playing catchup all season for RB2 on a run-first winning team. Keep Jacobs.

In Week 3, Jacobs value will be up. That wil be the time to trade him, if you're worried about injuries.

Anyone else on this matter?

Thanks and I WHIR!

I would definitely keep Jacobs. I figure with no more Toomer, Ward, and Shotmyselfico, the Giants are gonna rely on Jacobs even more than before. Believe me or not, but I don't even consider K.Smith on the same tier as Jacobs. I could be wrong at the end of the year of course, but in the unlikely event that K.Smith does get more points than Jacobs, I don't think it would be any more than 10 points over. Considering that, I don't think it is worth the risk of trading Jacobs, often a top 10 RB, for someone that is rarely in the top 10.
