2. This is a 12 team standard league. The offer - I would receive *Devonta Freeman and they would receive  *LeSean McCoy

3. The pros - Freeman is younger and on a better team which will present him with an array of scoring options. Cons- Coleman will take some of the TD opportunities away from Freeman and McCoy is one of the only weapons that the bills have and was a beast last year but he is predicted to decline this year.

4. Im leaning towards taking the deal because I don't want to deal with finding a replacement mid season if McCoy gets injured.

I don't understand why finding a McCoy replacement is an issue but a Freeman replacement isn't an issue. You don't have Coleman so it's more likely you could get a Bills RB off the waiver wire than you could get Coleman for cheap if Freeman gets hurt.

I think I take Freeman, sometimes best capability is opportunity/availability.  If Buffalo stinks like it looks like it is shaping up, no pointing in handing the ball to MCcoy in the 2nd half down by 4 scores, then thinking about Mccoy's mileage and recent bang ups, he scares me this year, only taking him at good value.

It's really close, but I would gamble with McCoy.  With BUF cutting Jonathan Williams, it's pretty certain that BUF is going to run McCoy into the ground this year.  Freeman's value is always capped by Coleman getting 30-40% of the work.  

To rugcleaner......when BUF is down in the 2nd half, BUF can easily pass it to McCoy.

I just believe ATL is going to have that Super Bowl hangover, and Matt Ryan is going to fall back to earth.  And Borden is 100% correct.....Coleman becomes a top 10 RB easily if Freeman goes down....so you're aren't going to get him for cheap even if Freeman is healthy.

 

[rugcleaner]

Why are they going to risk their only viable weapon in a game that doesn't matter?  .........Wait it is Buffalo...so its possible that somehow makes sense to them.

Because McCoy won't be in BUF next year.

If this was a keeper league or a dynasty league, Freeman would be the easy choice for me.  However, under the assumption that this is a redraft league, I would go McCoy.  

Please respond to mine.
