L. McCoy or C. Wells

[SlayeratCP]

Hey all,

I have to keep either LeSean McCoy or Beanie Wells (no other options even close to worth the price). I would lose a 9th round pick for McCoy or a 6th for Wells. I think Wells will be a little more valuable but a 3 round difference has me leaning towards McCoy. What do you think?

Also, I will have the 4th pick of the draft. After managers take their keepers, I expect the top players remaining to be 1 - MJD, Gore, Turner, A. Johnson, Brees, Rodgers, SJax.

Assuming I keep one of my RB's, I would probably go with Johnson, unless one of those top 3 RB's falls to me. Any ideas?

Thanks

As I have stated many times in this forum, I am not high on McCoy at all. He showed me nothing when he filled in for Westy last year and I will have no faith in him until he shows that he can play. To me his value is very limited in a NON PPR. I don't even consider him a #2 Rb in NON PPR leagues. Keep Wells.

Can I ask why? He had a decent 4.1 yds/carry last year in a limited role, now he has a pretty young QB and who is behind him? I did not see him in person at all but the situation looks great

I don't see him as a goal line back, I don't see him as a game changer who can score from anywhere on the field. He is in an offense that dosen't run the football. People assume that he is the next Westbrook just because he is small and plays in the same offense. But, he showed me last year when he did play that he is nowhere near the player Westbrook is. The only value i see is him getting some receptions. So if this is a non ppr league, I think his value is very limited.

Ok, thanks for the advice. Any advice on my first pick?

I would lean toward McCoy. Is he Westbrook? Not right now!! But now many are, Westy was one of the best when healthy. But he will be good. He showed enough as a rookie to see he has talent. Of course he has to prove it, but Phili. didn't do anything this off season to either help him out or compete with him. So this tell me they think he is a feature back. Who would know better? Wells situation isn't rosy either. Although I have him, well McCoy to, I don't know how much Hightower will cut into his production. Maybe not a lot but some is plausible. Plus with Leinert at QB it is going to be a different offense. No Boldin either. The passing game isn't going to open up the running game anymore. They may have to lean on the running game to open the passing game up. Which in turn may be worse for Wells than better.

Sorry for the rant, but I would keep McCoy because of the draft status you have.

This is about as spot on as you can get. But hes young so he could get better. But yeah, in Philly its all about the passing, rushing is a distant DISTANT second. Westbrook is one of the best all purpose guys there has ever been. McCoy is just simply not the next Westbrook imo. I would go with Wells too if it was me.

PPR McCoy should be a good value pick. I'm treating him as a mid #2 RB in all formats. After the top 8 RB's it really falls off IMO. WR's value goes way up this year.

Wells will get the ball to help Matt out. HIghtower will get some goalline. Kinda a wash imo
