Murray for Alshon or BMarshall? (1 Viewer)

[eliteftw7]

A member in my league approached me about me giving up Latavius Murray, for my pick of Alshon Jeffrey or Brandon Marshall. My team is as follows:

RB's: L. Bell, L.McCoy, L.Murray, D.Williams, S.Ware, M.Asiata

WR's: A.Brown, Marvin Jones, W.Snead, V. Jax, Josh Gordon

I know Murray is in a timeshare type backfield. However if I trade him away I'm looking at only having Bell and McCoy as my only starting RB's. Which isn't normally how I build my teams. I go RB heavy and normally finish 1,2,3 in my leagues. This is a normal scoring, 12 man league. Thank you for any input/advice.

EDIT: I forgot to add, I'm worried about both Jeffrey's and Marshall's health. I was rated by FBG as having a 95% chance of making the playoffs, I need healthy players. I rarely do trades for this reason, I feel like I'll end up trading for a guy who is injury prone.

Yea, I agree with the injury concern. IF you're going to move him at all I would look for something a bit better.

I disagree with Killer Brees.  I would trade L Murray for either Jeffery or Marshall in a heatbeat.  You have still Spencer Ware, who isn't going away in the KC backfield, and you have Bell hedged with DeAngelo.  Sure, Jeffery and Marshall are a little banged up, but you're buying low on them.

Killer might be thinking you have Demarco Murray.....that one would be a tougher call, especially if you can start 3 RBs.

Yes it is Latavius Murray of the Raiders haha. I would agree with you, but when it comes to trading players from my own team it gets tricky   Before the season started, if someone said draft Murray in the 4th and I'll give you Jeffery from the 2nd round...I'd of laughed and turned the PC off. This player who wants Murray is extremely thin at RB and he's sitting at 0-3. Thanks for your insight fightingillini.

I would do the trade.  Ware is better than l. Murray right now and is in a better situation.  That's a great rb3 for you.  Improve your wrs.  I am playing ware in front of l. Murray right now

I looked things up on this and yes... I changed my mind, you def have the RB depth to move your 3rd (even 4th) option for a receiver! (I assume you actually play 3WR's... if so then DEF!)
