TRADE: Calvin Johnson + Reggie Bush for Darren McFadden + Antonio Brown
The trade is a done deal, but wondering who got the short end of the stick. I gave up Megatron and Bush. (non-PPR).

Rest of my team =
QB: Vick, Luck (week to week)
RB: D. Martin, D. Murray (bench: Vick Ballard, Daryl Richardson)
WR: Dez Bryant (Bench: Andre Roberts, Danny Amendola,)
TE: Kyle Rudolph

    I think you got the short end of the stick. Megatron and Bush still have more upside, I think. I can see how it was appealing though, especially in non-PPR.

    Yeah, I'm thinking I got the short end, Partly impatience... both Megatron and Bush have really annoyed me this season with the lack of production.

    No way I was getting a RB like McFadden AND one of the guys you mentioned. But I see what you mean. Thanks!

    If DMC doesn't get injured, you're going to get more consistency with this trade. I don't see Megatron and Bush improving, DMC has a great schedule and Brown has a high floor.

    I think McFadden is just getting going as they've got a super easy schedule the rest of the season and he's just getting into this Zone Blocking O-line scheme, so he's a major upgrade at RB.
    Brown could be a surprise second-half of the season player, too, as he's getting the targets, but just hasn't busted out with the TDs yet.
    Unfortunately, I think Megatron is suffering from the Madden Curse and with Young stepping up like he did last week, we might not see more than a couple 20+ point games from Megatron the rest of the season.
    Even if he does manage to go off a couple times, the mental fatigue of hoping he gets it going and then doesn't in a game isn't worth the potential upside at this point. I was there two years ago with Ray Rice and traded him for Gates I think and it worked out just fine.

    Man, that's rough. You should always try to sell high (which you definitely didn't), but on a player like Calvin Johnson, you should probably just never sell. McFadden is a slight improvement over Reggie Bush, but he's also an injury waiting to happen (he's already way past his expiration date this season). If Reggie was not in this deal (so get McFadden and Brown for Megatron) I would be alright with it, but I don't like this at all.
