TRADE HELP NEEDED

**CCBuckeye207** · 09-19-2007, 08:23 PM

Should I pull the trigger on this trade:

Mcgahee for Calvin Johnson?

I'm pretty deep at RB, with Addai, R. Johnson, and Mcgahee. I can Only play Two RB a week. I am weak at WR, with Andre Johnson as my top WR being hurt.

Its a point per reception league, and I have Kitna as a QB.

Gotta say no but I can see why it is so tempting.

I'd say no as well...you should be able to get a little more...Calvin has been good, but as a rookie, not sure he will keep it up....

Who is your 4th RB? With the bye weeks coming up you'll need McGahee at least twice for those weeks.

If this offer was on the table after the bye weeks then I'd say take it since you'd be getting a starter for a bench player, but McGahee's value for filling in is too much right now to give up.

This fact does worry me. My fourth RB is weak, it was brandon jackson, but now its his backup (soon to be starter Wynn, alhtough i still have jackson). My WR worry me, especially with Andre Johnson hurting his knee. My others are (we have to have 6 on our roster):
Hines Ward
Santonio Holmes
Greg Jennings
Sam Hurd
Derrick Mason

Im still not sure what to do.

I feel i shoould also point out my TE is Antonio Gates, he's basically a WR. Not sure if this should have any effect though?

You definitely could use another wideout. My suggestion would be to package Hines Ward and McGahee for CJ and one of his backup running backs. That way you'll still have a backup running back for bye weeks or injuries. It will also help your receiving corp out while getting rid of one of your two Steeler WRs. Who does he have at running back that he could part with?

I would pass on this deal. Though CJ's stats have been gaudy the first two weeks, Week 1 against Oakland no one knew how to defend him as it was his first game and in week 2 against Minnesota their pass D is bad. I don't believe he can keep up this pace for the long haul. I think this week will be a good test for him against a pretty stout Philly defense.

With regards to Willis, I can't see giving up a top RB on a run first offense, even if he is your #3, at least not at that price. For a RB like Willis, you should be getting a WR like TJ Houshmandzadeh or someone with a good track record. That's what concerns me with CJ. Can he keep up with this? I don't think he can, at least not this year.

I would pass on that deal. Look for greater value for Willis.

My opinion is you need to get more for Willis...If you get a decent back up rb with Calvin, then I would make it

I also have this deal on the table. I'm being offered McGahee and Santana Moss for CJ. This is in a keeper league also. If I do this deal though i would have to cut Julius Jones because we can only have 5 RBs.

My WRs now are Holt, Housh, CJ, Arnaz Battle and Shaun McDonald.

RBs are Rudi, AP (Min), Lynch, Fred Taylor and Jones.

Thoughts and hurry up he might be watching

I would not do it..CJ has a chance to be a geat one..Also, I like your RB's and this would really weaken your WR's imo....
