Trade McCoy for RB Upgrade? WHIR!

Postby Valandir » Fri Sep 11, 2009 4:40 pm

Hey all, so I'm fairly new to fantasy football and just had my draft, my team is alright but I definitely need some help improving at RB. It's a 12 team league, standard scoring. I have McCoy though and I want to try and trade Westbrook's owner to try and get an upgrade at RB. Any suggestions on what I could do? Anything would be appreciated, and I'll help in return if at all possible! Thanks!

My team is as follows:

QB: Tom Brady
WR: Larry Fitzgerald
WR: Roy Williams
RB: Ryan Grant
RB: Knowshon Moreno
WR/RB: Bernard Berrian
TE: Kevin Boss
DEF: Chicago Bears

Bench: Beanie Wells, RB
Bench: Earnest Graham, RB
Bench: LeSean McCoy, RB
Bench: Josh Morgan, WR
Bench: David Garrard, QB
Bench: James Davis, RB
Bench: Earl Bennett, WR

And Westbrook's owner's team is:

QB: Matt Schaub
WR: Chad Ochocinco
WR: Eddie Royal
RB: Matt Forte
RB: Brian Westbrook
WR/RB: Ronnie Brown
TE: Jason Witten
DEF: San Diego Chargers

Bench: Felix Jones, RB
Bench: Torry Holt, WR
Bench: Leon Washington, RB
Bench: Chris Chambers, WR
Bench: Michael Bush, RB
Bench: Sidney Rice, WR
Bench: Mike Bell, RB

Well you could try McCoy for Felix? You might end up okay even if you cant pull this off with Davis there on your bench. Only a matter of time before he shows he is the real deal IMO>

The one-for-one to consider would be McCoy for Felix Jones. I think you would get an immediate upgrade and he would get an extremely valuable handcuff.

I'm not sure it would be worth trying to get Ronnie Brown if it would probably mean giving up at least Knowshon & McCoy but it's something to consider.

Another vote for try to get Felix Jones. He might not bite but it's worth a shot.

Thanks for the help all!

Is Knowshon+McCoy+something a possibility for landing Ronnie Brown, or is that out of the question? What would be a fair way to try and land Brown? I like the idea of going after Felix Jones, but I also think that I'm too shallow already at starting RB positions, since Knowshon is somewhat injured. Are there any other options that I'm missing for a two for one that would be viable, or am I trying too hard?

I would also try McCoy for F.Jones or L.Washington.....most people underestimate Washington because of T.Jones but Washington is the man on the Jets. T.Jones almost got traded and is all but almost done there and Washington/S.Greene will be the next to step up. Washington is also big on receptions so in PPR he is very valuable.

I would try for Brown over the previous 2 but I just don't see the team giving him up (even for McCoy/Moreno)....if you can pull it off then go for it....it can't hurt to try and see what they say so...

Good Luck!
