Matthews + Reggie Bush for AP

[rlitvak]

I Give: Ryan Matthews and Reggie Bush
I Get: Adrian Peterson

League: .5ppr, QB TD 6pts
QB, 3WR, 2RB, TE, W/R

My Team:

Aaron Rodgers
Demaryius Thomas
Danny Amendola
Jordy Nelson
Trent Richardson
Rashad Jennings
Jimmy Graham
Titus Young
Ryan Mathews
Reggie Bush
Andrew Luck
Emmanuel Sanders
Antonio Brown
Darren Sproles

This will leave me a little thin at RB for this week but I think it will set me up well for the playoffs. I am 8-2 and tied for 1st. The next teams are 5-5 so I should be able to coast into the playoffs whether I win this week or not.

My other concern is that during playoffs Reggie Bush has 3 plus matchups (JAC, BUF, NE) and Matthews also has 3 plus matchups (CAR, NJ, OAK). AP has 2 plus matchups (STL, GB) and 1 negative matchup in week 16 (HOU). But the talent level disparity may make it worth it since Matthews has been playing like garbage and Bush seems to be heading for a three back committee.

Thoughts on this trade?

I would take that trade all day (no pun intended). AP is playin the best football at the RB in the league right now and Id take him regardless of matchups ecspecially since you have richardson (a beast in himself) and sproles who coming off injury will be good. I think AP will set your team up well to win barring injuries.

Nice trade for you but doubt the other owner goes for it as is. You may have to add more value to acquire AP, and with Bush struggling of late he may be the one that hurts this deal for you.

If the other owners takes this trade, go for it. In my opinion, 2 struggling RBs isn't enough for the #1 RB.
