Two Trades on the Table... Which to Pick??
Firstly, I am in an 8-team, non-PPR league with standard ESPN scoring. Here is my team:QB: Brees, Kaepernick
RB: Stacy, Gore, Jennings, Vereen, Hyde
WR: Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, Patterson, Maclin, Cooks
TE: Pitta, Reed
DST: 49ers
K: Vinatieri
I have two trades to look at, mainly for the purpose of strengthening my starting RBs. Here they are:
TRADE 1
Give: Megatron and Gore
For: Demarco Murray and Julio Jones
TRADE 2
Give: Megatron, Gore, and Jennings
For: Marshawn Lynch, Jordy Nelson, and Pierre Thomas
Which do you think is more beneficial to me? I am currently leaning towards TRADE 2.

2Naveen Sehgal (479 Reputation Points)I like the first trade. I think Julio Jones has a great chance to end up being a top 3 wr and Frank Gore is entering his age 31 season. Demarco Murray is also playing behind one of the best offensive lines in football.1 Comment↳Mark Hornak (366 Reputation Points)I do like Murray behind that O-Line, but will he produce more than Lynch?

1Luke McMill (502 Reputation Points)I wouldnt do either one. Pierre thomas adds no value to trade number 2.1 Comment↳Mark Hornak (366 Reputation Points)Thanks for the input!

1KBR (445 Reputation Points)I like trade number one; not crazy about trade number two. Also, you will have everyone tell you that Murray is hurt a lot because that's what all the web sites say. But, I had him last year and he was a big contributor for my club that ending up finishing second overall. I would pick him again.1 Comment↳Mark Hornak (366 Reputation Points)Thanks for the input, I've mostly only heard the downside of Murray. It's good to hear the other side of the story

1Michael Brothers (500 Reputation Points)I like trade 1 between the 2. Demarco is a legit upgrade at RB without a ton of downside risk barring injury. Trade 2, Pierre Thomas has almost no value in a non-PPR league. And Jordy Nelson is a bigger downgrade at WR compared to Julio in trade 1.3 Comments↳Mark Hornak (366 Reputation Points)I can see Julio over Nelson, but is he not an injury risk still? Also, how can you say that there is not a ton of injury downside with Murray?? Just curious about your thoughts behind those↳Michael Brothers (500 Reputation Points)The 2 doctor reports I read said the type of injury Julio had last year has a small risk of repeat injury. And he's looked fine in training camp. Reread what I wrote about Murray, "without a ton of downside risk barring injury."↳Mark Hornak (366 Reputation Points)Sorry, I definitely missed "barring". Ok, thanks for the input!
