Tough question... Marshawn Lynch

[Iggles]

I'm trying to decide if I should trade Marshawn Lynch or keep him and start him this week instead of Jahvid Best.

First question: would you start Lynch@OAK over Best vs. WAS this week?

Second question: Would you trade Lynch for S. Smith (NYG)? I've been offered that deal by a desperate owner whose 2 starting RBs are on bye (Turner/McCoy) He has a 2-5 record and is in must-win position. I'd really prefer to ask for M. Williams (TB) instead of Smith because Smith is on his bye week. What would you do?

Here is his roster:
Kyle Orton, Michael Vick, Chad Henne
Michael Turner, LeSean McCoy, Mike Hart, BenJarvus Green-Ellis
Braylon Edwards, Brandon Marshall, Mike Williams, Steve Smith(NYG), Danny Amendola
Vernon Davis

My roster and our scoring:
QB - Philip Rivers, Carson Palmer
RB - Frank Gore, Jahvid Best, Ahmad Bradshaw, Marshawn Lynch, M. Bush, B. Jacobs
WR - DeSean Jackson, Steve Smith (CAR), Percy Harvin, Patrick Crayton, Vincent Jackson
TE - Chris Cooley

12 teams - start QB, 2RB, 3WR, 1TE
Yardage points: Passing-1 pt per 40 yds, Recieving-1 pt per 20 yds, Rushing-1 pt per 15 yds. All TD's: 6 pts if less than 10 yds, 8 pts if 10-24 yds, 10 pts if 25-49 yds, and 12 pts if 50+ yds.

What would you do? Give me a well thought out answer and leave me a link to your question and I'll return the favor. Thanks.

Tough call,

First, I would start Lynch over Best,

As far as the trade,

You need WR help, I would definitely ask for Williams, I might go as far as pushing him for Marshall, seeing what it would take, and offer something like Best and Harvin for Marshall, see what happens,

Out of your RB, Best is the one I would trade to improve your WR, and Harvin's value will probably diminish if/when Favre can't go, so you probably won't be starting him much longer.

If you can help here that would be great,

I go with Best over Lynch. Trade Lynch ASAP for something useful.

i WOULD START BEST OVER LYNCH. I wouldn't make that trade, Nicks is the man in NY. See if you can grab a guy like Steve Johnson ( Buffalo) or a Mike Williams from Seattle ( Hasselbecks favorite Target). Good Luck!

I think that you definitely have to go with Best. I don't think it is that close of a call. He is coming off a bye and with Stafford back I think he will get his touches especially with some passes so that helps if this is a PPR.

I don't think I would do the trade. Sit tight on that one

Good luck
please take a look at mine

I would also start Best over Lynch (especially in PPR leagues).

I would not make the trade for Smith due to the emergence of Nicks this year. I would trade Lynch for Mike Williams though.

Thanks for mine.
