Dynasty Trade: McCoy for Bryant? ~WHIR~

[d.romano88]

~I'm in a TD-heavy dynasty league and was recently offered Dez Bryant for LeSean McCoy straight-up.

I'm heavily considering the offer, but it would leave my team weak at RB while strengthening a weak position for me at WR. I also have Tony Romo as my QB1, which could factor into the decision.

In our league, we have to play 1 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, and a RB/WR/TE flex. It's a TD-heavy league, 6 points per TD with 1 point for each 15 yards receiving/rushing

My RB/WR/TE roster is as follows:

RB:
LeSean McCoy
Knowshon Moreno
LeGarrette Blount
Darren Sproles
James Starks
Derrick Ward

WR:
Mike Sims-Walker
Steve Smith (CAR)
Brandon Tate
Steve Johnson
Laurent Robinson
Jerricho Cotchery
Early Doucet
Stephen Williams
Chaz Schilens

TE:
Brent Celek
Owen Daniels
Shawn Nelson

So, as you can see, my WRs are either aging, underperforming or injured. I do think Blount and Starks might provide some value this year.

There are 20 teams in the league, and chances are I'll pick around 10-15 overall. There are usually some decent WR options at that point once the top RBs/QBs are taken off the board, but most of the good RB options are gone. So, do I wait out the season, let my RB corps grow, or should I buy into Bryant's high potential and, knowing that it will be hard for me to draft or trade for a good RB this offseason, make the deal?

Haven't been in a keeper league with those starter requirements, but....no way do I let go of McCoy.....whether it be a keeper or not.....

Thanks for replying to mine. I don't think I'd do the deal. Never done a keeper league, but I think having Austin in Dallas lowers Bryant's potential point total too much to give McCoy.

They are both young, and I don't like Dez. Don't do it.

yeah don't do it, mccoy seems to be on the rise, bryant has too much competition with roy williams coming on and even if he takes over number 2, hes never gonna be better than austin

Thanks for the help on mine. I also would not do this. Bryant has been all hype so far. McCoy has been a stud this year.

Thanks for the help everyone.

I agree with most everything people have said, but because I'm a diehard Eagles fan, I wasn't sure if I was overvaluing McCoy or not.

My biggest problem with McCoy is that Reid abhors running the ball. If he was on any other team, he'd be an even bigger stud.
