McFadden/Janikowski for McCoy/Crosby - WHIR

[c0megets0me]

This is easy...........Who cares about the damn kickers they are a dime a dozen. So who is the better RB? answer...McCoy

What isn't easy if making the playoffs with a 2-5 record. That means closing out the season 5-1. Does McCoy give me that much more upside than McFadden to be able to pull that off?

I dont know if McCoy gives you "that much" more upside but with your record any upside is good. Dont read to much into the trade. Take the better player on the better team. DMC may have what you see as an easy schedule but how often will the Raiders be playing from behide and thow the ball the whole 2nd half. Always leave the trade with the better player.

I think the fact that McCoy is on a bye is a deal breaker for me at this point considering your situation. If you were 6-0, 5-1 or even 4-2 I think its completely different. IF you want to do this deal I think you NEED to press this guy for more, look at his roster, he has NO RB's to play this week..

The other guy's team is 1-5. He is definitely desperate for a win. If he loses, he'll just trade his players away for next year draft picks. Hell, I'll probably be doing the same if I lose this weekend. If he wins, he might be willing to make the trade after this week. He's not favored though. Any suggestions on counter trades?

That's definitely something I failed to take into consideration. Why else does Palmer have fantasy value? He's got to throw and completely neglect the running game. It's why Myers looks like a decent TE. McFadden has had some decent receiving games but not enough to compensate for lack of carries. Of course there's never any guarantee of winning, but I think I do win this weekend if I don't make the trade. Wish there was better news on Graham. None of us have players playing tommorow, so I can wait a bit to see if his status improves.

I agree with the others...McCoy is the better back. So I would pull the trigger on this one.

One thing to keep in mind.....it is a high risk high reward trade because you have Vick as your qb. If the eagles sh*t the bed, so will your fantasy team. But if they do well you are golden.

My opponent just picked up a kicker, full team now. He's got Hasselbeck, Britt, and Cook against Buf, Lynch and Sea D against SF, James Jones, Jones-Drew, Tate, Nicks, and Gould. If Buf and SF play well, he could really be hurting for points. I'm thinking of a couple crazy trades which would kill me team this week.

McFadden, Morris, Starks, Janikowski for McCoy, Mathews, Murray, Crosby (66 points remainder of year gain - yahoo evaluator
McFadden, Williams, Janikowski for McCoy, Murray, Crosby (46 points)

Would you make either of those? Stick with original trade? Other trade suggestions?

His team
QB - Matt Ryan
WR - Brandon Lloyd, Sidney Rice
RB - LeSean McCoy, Ryan Mathews
TE - Fred Davis
W/T - Denarius Moore
W/R - DeMarco Murray
K - Mason Crosby
D - Oakland
BN - Jonathan Stewart (RB), Pierre Garcon (WR), Josh Freeman (QB)
