You could easily justify doing this deal. But the fact is that TO is not on an offense that's going to allow him to be a viable WR1 for fantasy purposes. He just isn't going to get the 8+ targets a game that have driven his value in the past. I view TO as a big name average WR2 in fantasy leagues going forward. He's just not going to come close to replacing Moss for you if you were to do the trade.

Though I do think it's smart to go after LT now, because his injury is the only reason he's available. While the Chargers as a team aren't particularly impressive this year, LT remains the feature back when healthy. Sproles is proving that he cannot be the main guy. He's an excellent scat-back, but his size is too limiting for him to be able to do everything required of a true #1 RB.

If it weren't for TO I'd say yes. But with him I think you take too much of a hit at WR to justify doing this.

Make that another vote for pass. It's a great time to buy low on Moss and LT, but I agree with the previous post, TO is a big name for WR2 production. I like Coles better than Stuckey and McFadden has high upside. Stand firm.

help?

no way! LT and Owens look done. Mcfadden is up and coming and Randy Moss is Elite and has Brady.

this deal would put you in a rough situation. stay with moss, a known commodity. LT may be a better RB than mcfadden, but he's a huge question mark with continued injury issues. pass

thanks for the help guys. my main concern was Moss. i wouldn't mind grabbing LT low while he's injured b/c i have Sproles already, which somewhat helps limit the risk if LT misses significant time. but moss is far superior to owens at this point, and DMC's upside makes it hard to do this. i'll stay where i'm at.
