Dynasty - Trading for Demarco Murray, Trade away Alshon Jeffery.
I'm in a .5 PPR Dynasty league. I'm out of the playoffs, but one of the teams in the championship just offered me Demarco for Alshon. The league starts the following positions:
QB x 2
RB x 2
WR x 3
TE x 1
Right now I am fine at QB and I have Antonio Brown, Josh Gordon, and Alshon at WR (plus a couple others)
At RB I only have Alfred Morris and Steven Jackson. I'm thinking I should do this deal....
Any advice?
Historically, RBs that have anything close to the number of carries he's seeing come back down to earth the next year and never come close to these peaks again. Look at the drop off Shady saw between last year and this.
It's tempting, but I think you'll end up looking longingly at Jeffery performing close to WR1 levels while Murray is sitting out six games with injuries. I'm a huge Gordon fan, but I really don't have confidence that Cleveland's QB situation is going to allow him to perform at the levels we saw last year.
