Was offered L.McCoy for C.Hyde, A.Jeffery + P.Rivers is this too much? (1 Viewer)

[Saboo]

To me McCoy could be an elite rb down the stretch but my question is am I giving up too much? I’m stacked at wr and I have Fournette + Martin at rb. I also have Went at qb. My only fear is if Went were to go down I would have nothing at qb...Also, I’m a little scared of Hyde + Martin’s playoff schedule.

Would you make this deal?

McCoy is a very tricky RB to properly value.  He gets decent/good volume, but he's on a mediocre offense with no other real weapons.  They just got Benjamin, who should help relieve some of Shady's pressure but he's got to have time to build some chemistry with Taylor and learn the offense, so who knows if that'll happen next week or in Week 14.  But Shady is also prone to games like last night - 12 for 25.  Only 12 carries because they were playing from behind the whole game...IMO he's too inconsistent to be a top end RB1...he's more of a low RB1/high RB2, but with a wide gap between floor and ceiling.  Some weeks are 12 for 25, some are 120 yds with 2 TDs.  Maddening to own.  

How big is this league?  You said if Wentz gets hurt you have nothing at QB...is there literally nothing on the wire?  Or just the Flacco/Beathard/Bortles types?  Also gotta think about, getting 3 players for 1 means you're going to have to drop two.  Who do you drop?  Would it be better to have one of those players over Rivers?  

IMO Hyde + Jeffery for McCoy is a fair offer, and one that if you are truly stacked at WR should probably benefit you in the long run.  I'm not a big Hyde guy though, so I'd say yes to the deal, but I might leave Rivers out of it if those pieces you'd be dropping offer more upside/value than Rivers does

I believe he would be giving up those three players for McCoy so he would be gaining two roster spots.   I think this is an easy deal to make.  Alshon is a low end WR2 at this point.  McCoy is a big improvement over Hyde and he doesn't need Rivers.  I would make this deal very quickly.

oops, was talking out of both sides of my mouth.  Yes, OP would gain two empty roster spots.  I was thinking about it from both sides and got them mixed up apparently.  I knew he was getting the 1 (McCoy) but just typing too fast I guess.  

Yes I would do the trade

Do it!

Thanks for that well thought out answer

I'd prefer the McCoy side of this trade too, although after Thursday night maybe you can give slightly less, like not including Rivers so it's only 2 for 1.  Or make it 3-for-2 getting back a second lesser player (but better than what's on the WW).  But Alshon is likely only a low WR2, Hyde is always an injury risk and with Garcon out that makes the whole SF offense less desirable, since fewer TD chances if they can't move the ball.

Looks like two 3 rounders (or less) and a seventh rounder for a 1st rounder.  I'd take that all day.
