Just traded Percy Harvin (who I swapped earlier this week for Alfred Morris) and my choice of Turner/Bradshaw/Leshoure in return for LeSean McCoy -- Thoughts?

Thanks to people who have been helping -- been a tough spot trying to coordinate a 3-way trade!

Standard scoring, not PPR, 10 team league, 2 WR, 2 RB, 1 Flex RB/WR

I like that you have finally dropped Colston from the deal.. I know you have like 6 RB's, but I still think with Turner there you are giving up to much.. McCoy and Turner have put up very similar points up to this point.. don't see that changing later on as well. i still think he would be a great flex option for you. If it were me I would just use Bradshaw/LeShoure... Leshoure will remain the top back in Det.. but both Bradshaw and he will remain inconsistent throughout the season.. Not to mention how injury prone Bradshaw is.

it might make it easier for the other guy to accept the trade, but I like Harvin a lot.. Top WR on his team and he runs the ball

I have Fitz Colston G Jennings and DJax -- and my friend will only do the trade for Harvin + Leshoure. Worth it stilL?

with the way Djax has been playing I think it still is.. you still will have great options at flex with your Rb's.. RB's are best for flex spot anyway.. Plus Djax is going to start returning punts again.. and when Jennings is finally healthy, he will become the top target again.

I like this deal for you if you give up Mikel Leshoure, not Turner or Brad though. McCoy will start to heat up, as he normally starts to get rolling around this time, McCoy will finish as a top 5 RB, and I think Turner will press the issue for top 10 this season again as well. Bradshaw is a solid player, and when healthy will be your best option at flex or as a backup. Kudos getting Harvin, even better kudos getting rid of him for McCoy.

I'm not sure I'd have done that deal. Yes, McCoy is a bona fide top 5 running back but Harvin is going to get plenty of opportunities on a Minnesota team that seems to be making a real statement this year and whose star running back Peterson is in and out with injuries. Harvin gets receiving and rushing yards but fits your lineup in the WR spot and those three running back, Turner (playing for a team vying for the top spot in the division), Bradshaw (the MAN in NYG) and Leshoure (weakest of the three imho but the runner in DET) provide value at the RB spot. I think these two positions will generate more points than Shady McCoy and most other WRs.

Thanks for the advice, George. I also have Larry Fitzgerald, Colston, G Jennings and DJax for WRs and MJD as well for a RB. Trying to swap some WR quality for a solid RB.
