I get Chris Johnson, I Give up MJD & Torain (WHIR 100%)

Postby ICanGoAllTheWay » Wed Nov 03, 2010 5:27 pm

Ok, so I was offered Chris Johnson for MJD and Ryan Torain. With Moss coming to town, CJ is going to be much more dangerous. Moss should open up lots of running lanes for CJ. First I will show you my lineup and then show the remaining schedules for both players.

Standard scoring, NO PPR: QB, 2RB, 2WR, FLEX, TE, DST, K
QB: Vick, Eli Manning
RB: Turner, MJD, Torain, Mathews, Ronnie Brown
WR: Nicks, Boldin, Garcon
TE: Heath Miller
DST: Vikings
K: Matt Bryant

Ok, so if I do the trade, I'd be a little thin at my Flex. Obviously Turner and CJ would be starts every week, but at my Flex i'd alternate based on matchups between Garcon and Mathews. As much as losing depth w/ Torain hurts, I see him as a Sell High type guy. Portis just practiced for the first time in 3 weeks yesterday, so it looks like Portis will be back soon, and they will become a tandem backfield. Torain also pulled a hammy last week, so he is somewhat banged up. Here are the upcoming scheds for MJD and CJ, and both are on bye's this week:

MJD's following games: HOU, CLE, @NYG, @TEN, OAK, @IND, WAS, @HOU

CJ's following games: @MIA, WAS, @HOU, JAC, IND, HOU, @KC, @IND

Both have extremely favorable schedules. I'm not going to put up Torain's schedule, but it gets pretty brutal for the 2nd half of the season. The only tough games MJD faces is @NYG and @TEN. CJ's only tough games are @MIA and @KC. The only thing is, I'm playing a huge game next week against a divisional opponent and I would really like to have MJD against Houston, rather than CJ @ MIA. But regardless, I can't decline a good trade just because of one matchup.

So what are your opinions on this trade, and do you think Torain is a keeper or a tradeable guy at this point. And do I have enough depth to do this trade. Thanks, and leave a link and i'll help in return.

Thanks for the input on mine. You absolutely have to make this trade! ;-D MJD nas not been as good as usual, and Moss will make CJ even better! Pull the trigger now!

I think CJ has better upside than MJD. with moss to stretch the field (and britt when healthy + washington coming back), teams aren't going to be able to stack the box. Make the trade

Go accept before the owner comes to their senses and rescinds the offer!

Do it. Torain is hurt (shocker) and Portis is coming back.

In other words, the trade boils down to CJ and MJD. Easy choice.

Thanks for the input on mine as well.

I would do this in a second. CJ24 has a nice schedule and now with Moss teams won't be able to stack the box.

Do it, do it now
