Should I trade away Lynch for Beckham? (1 Viewer)

[DannyV]

I am stacked at RB and could use a stud WR.  The guy I want to trade with is new to fantasy football and could use a RB.  I am interested in Beckham but I have a couple of worries: 1) How much will this ankle injury affect Beckham's season, 2) the Giants' offense looked terrible and 3) With all of the week 1 injuries, should I keep Lynch as a safety net.  

Here are our RBs and WRs (half PPR):

Me

RB: Freeman, Murray, Hunt, Lynch & Powell

WR: Tate, Diggs, Bryant, Ginn, D. Jackson & Maclin

Him

RB: Hyde, Ingram, Gore, Stewart & Hill

WR: Beckham, Cooper, Hilton, Sanders & Cobb

I'm thinking about offering Lynch and Jackson or Maclin for Beckham.  What do you think? Thank you.

Do it if he is dumb enough to do it. Lynch for Cobb is actually more fair. The way they are treating OBJ's injury shows that they are going to be sure he is 100% before putting him on the field so a long term injury is unlikely. I'm thinking he'll play week 2 but even if he doesn't go this coming week he would still be a steal for Lynch.

I'm hoping he'll over react to week 1 like most new players.  I was hoping Ingram did terrible to further show him how bad he needs a RB.  I may even offer Lynch and Diggs.

Sure, but if the guy has any sort of common sense, he will reject your offer.

trade raping the new guy.... are you essentially asking us if it's ok to trade rape?

OBJ has a high ankle sprain, he's about 3 weeks in to a 4 week injury rehab.... sure there is a potential he aggrevates it, but im taking that chance if it is only costing me a 31 year old 4th RB on my roster

I guess that's the real question!  He just texted me saying he'll check it out. He lost and his RB situation is terrible so I'm hoping for the week 1 overreaction.
