Trade Maclin for Sproles? (dynasty)

Postby ThePrez » Wed Aug 01, 2012 9:17 am

Fellas... need some help.

Got an offer tossed to me... give up Maclin and get Sproles. This is a 0.5 pt PPR league.

5th year dynasty -- 12 teams
Standard Yahoo scoring plus 0.5 PPR
Standard Yahoo roster plus RB/WR flex

My team -

QB - Cam Newton, Philip Rivers, Eli Manning
RB - Adrian Peterson, Darren McFadden, Chris Johnson, Rashard Mendenhall, Ryan Williams, Kevin Smith
WR - Andre Johnson, Greg Jennings, Jeremy Maclin, Mike Williams (TB), Laurent Robinson
TE - Jason Witten, Greg Olsen
D - NYJets

I'm a little thin at WR depth right now but just need 3 weekly starters. We have our annual 3 round mini draft that begins August 20th and I have 10th overall pick each round. I could maybe target young WR to add to depth then? Plus FA market will still hold value once draft is completed.

I just worry about RB health (if I start 3 weekly) with AP, DMC, and Mendenhall. Ryan Williams is a work in progress and who knows how long KevSmith will be in the mix.

I could flip Maclin for Sproles and then maybe look to move a big name RB for WR down the road?

Last season with our scoring... Sproles had 228 pts... and Maclin 145. But Maclin is getting a lot more hype entering this season.

Should I sit on this deal and reevaluate after the mini draft completes in a few week or jump on it now?

Thanks!

I would pass. With AP, McFadden and Johnson I do not think you need to get another RB. Also this will hurt your depth at WR which is where you are the weakest at.

Don't do it. Maclin is on the cusp of elite status and Sproles is a 29 year old RB. Sproles will likely be better this year, but past that I think Maclin will be the superior talent
