Donald Brown for LeSean McCoy?

Cliff Levingston is offering Donald Brown for LeSean McCoy. Reasoning: Cliff Levingston already has Peterson, Westbrook, Ray Rice and Marshawn Lynch as his top 4 RBs. Rather than wait for Brown to earn the bulk of the carries in Indy, Cliff Levingston would be better off having the injury prone Westbrook's primary handcuff in case of emergency. Trade partner has Joe Addai as his RB3 as well. Smart move?

brown seems to be in line for a portion of the carries from the get go, while you would be waiting on a westbrook injury to use mccoy

i'd say the other guy is getting the better end of the deal, but if you really want to handcuff westbrook you should

IDK, this one can go either way.
I stayed away from Westy and Addai in all leagues and will attempt to continue that trend.

I think McCoy and Brown are both just too good to not earn touches even if the other two players are healthy. McCoy might just keep Westbrook healthy though, he is good enough to create a committee in my humble opinion.
Addai sucks in my humble opinion and eventually, this season, he will take over the #1 role, but if both are healthy, again, I think you're looking at a committee.
Addai hasn't exactly been the model of health either, remember that.

I honestly think Westbrook misses a maximum, standard Westbrook issue 1 or 2 games, so I think I stick with Brown, who may earn up to a whopping 12 starts by seasons end due to a combination of Addai's suckitude, frailty and Browns skills.

Sorry I've been answering in riddles :lol: but these two guys are literally my most targeted, late round backup RB's in all my drafts so far, so I don't know how to answer but how I have.
