Should I consider trading either Murray or Hill, or should i wait them out a bit longer? I am currently 2-0 in my league. I have decent depth, but I worry about holding them too long and losing all value.
If I do pursue a trade, I was thinking targeting Gio Bernard + Julian Edelman for Demarco Murray. Would this be a fair return?

0Danny B (396 Reputation Points)I think that's a fair return given how Murray was projected to score before the season started. I don't know if someone will be willing to make that trade now. On the one hand, I usually think 2 weeks is too small a sample to make major conclusions about the whole season. That said, I am a little worried about Murray. He is splitting snaps and touches much more than he had to in Dallas, and is running behind an offensive line that cannot block very well yet, in a system where he doesn't get the passing targets he's used to seeing either. I wouldn't be opposed to trading him for those reasons, but you may not want to just yet. I would be surprised if anyone would give you adequate value back, unless you lowered your asking price (which you may not want to do).2 Comments↳Brandon Cork (403 Reputation Points)Would you say Jeremy Hill is safer to return to form than DeMarco? I think I can withstand one RB busting, but two would probably destroy my team lol.↳Danny B (396 Reputation Points)Yeah, I think Hill is safer. I have always thought that Demarco didn't make sense in the Chip Kelly system. I have heard people say that he does, citing Blount performing well in the system when he was at Oregon. But to me, the system is just different enough in translating it to the pro game that using that analogy doesn't hold water. Hill is largely in the same system and situation where he flourished last season. Demarco, on the other hand, has an o line that doesn't know how to play together, and even if they figure that out, they'll still be much worse than the o line he had in Dallas. The Eagles also will use Sproles when they want to pass out of the backfield, and give some of Murray's touches to Mathews. Gio will get carries in Cincy, but the workload split, system factors, and situational factors are all bigger minuses for Demarco than for Hill, in my opinion.
