Andre Johnson for Darren McFadden?

Postby Rapier34 » Wed Sep 29, 2010 3:14 pm

Greetings all,
I just had someone in my league offer me Darren McFadden for Andre Johnson. I declined it mentally right off the bat, but then I started looking at the numbers. McFadden has almost twice the amount of points scored so far. Now I'm thinking about it. My big concern is the impact that Michael Bush will have as he gets closer to 100%. I'm pretty deep at WR, but weak in RB's. So far I'm 2-1, so there is no panic to do this trade, but it will help me address my weak spot.

Any thoughts would be appreciated. My roster is below, standard scoring 12 team league.

QB - Vick
WR1 - AJ
WR2 - Calvin Johnson
WR3 - Malcolm Floyd
RB1 - Arian Foster
RB2 - Shonn Greene
TE - Brent Celek
K - Rob Bironas
Def - WW weekly

Bench
RB - Fred Taylor
RB - Mike Tolbert
WR - Louis Murphy
WR - Mario Manningham
WR - Mike Williams (Tampa Bay)
TE - Marcedes Lewis

Thanks in advance for any advice given.

I think you should consider another hobby. Fantasy football isn't for you. ;)

In all seriousness, McFadden should continue to do well, and Johnson is hurt. It's a gamble either way. I'd stick to the guy I drafted, but it's up to you.

If you want to do this, see if you can counter with Calvin instead. I wouldn't give up my WR1 for a RB2. McFadden might not keep up the way he's going, but he'd be great to have until he cools off, and if needed you can swap him with another RB elsewhere before his points drop.

Keep Johnson man. He will get better and play better again, but Mcfadden will go downhill. No deal.

Pretty much my thoughts, but I just needed some objective opinions as a reality check. Thanks everyone, and good luck to you all.
