Trade Deangelo for Calvin Johnson? 

Post#1 » by EastSideBucksFan » Thu Oct 7, 2010 5:01 pm

Would you do it?

Need some advice on a trade if you guys would be so kind

12 Man league, NOT a PPR

I have been offered Calvin Johnson for Deangelo Williams

My WR's corps is
Andre Johnson
Dwayne Bowe
Johnny Knox
Brandon Tate (just picked up)

My RB's corps is
Deangelo Williams
Ladainian Tomlinson
Marion Barber
Marshawn Lynch
Fred Jackson


I would be trading my #1 RB and would be relying on LT's production to continue, Barber would need to be a starter for me and I would need to be relying on Lynch/Jackson as my flex players.

I'm nervous that Deangelos will only get worse as the year rolls on. Between Stewart stealing his goal line carries and now lack of passing game with no Steve Smith, defenses will be stacking the box.

OR, will the lack of passing game give him 3-5 more carries a game and better production. I don't know.

I'm currently in dead last

What do you guys think?


Thanks for any input

Your rbs are thin but Lynch and Jackson both have much more value now, so I think I would do that trade.

Yeah, I pulled the trigger on it.

No waiting period so I immediately got him.

Other managers in the league think I ran away with this trade

I would never start deangelo. Your wr core, isnt that good either. go for it. Rb are very easy to find. starters get injured all the time. If u paid attention throughout the year. You could have got hillis, green-jarvis ne guy.
