Trade Opinions - C Johnson for B Lloyd

[newbottles]

Someone is offering Brandon Lloyd for my Chris Johnson. Looks pretty good at a glance, except I already have a lot of WRs and am hurting at RB. But does losing Johnson really make things any worse?

Format is 3 x WR, 2 x RB, one W/T flex and one W/R flex. 10 team league.

I have:
WR
AJ Green
B Marshall
Torrey Smith
L Moore
Denarius Moore
J Kerley

RB
C Johnson
B Tate
A Morris
M Turner

Why would you even do that trade? your depth at RB blows compared to the depth at WR..B.Lloyd is no better than your third options at starting WR whether it's Torrey Smith or Denarious Moore or even Lance Moore.

i agree...im a frustrated cj owner myself AND a bigtime pats fan and i dont even make that trade...it doesnt help ur team enough, im getting offers of benjarvus/alfred morris for cj, i think u can do better

dudekid,Lawfirm and Alfred Morris for CJ is a bargain. Capitalize at this point if you're willing to trade him.

Good points.

I just got another strange offer: J Charles & P Hillis for C Johnson. Need a crystal ball to make a decision on that one.

And I agree on taking the Green-Ellis and A Morris trade.

thanks for the input, i did take the trade...i had to throw in martellus bennett but i got him off FA a while back and i have tony gonz at TE anyway so no big loss...the ONLY caveat is that i traded him to my opponent this week

all chris johnson owners should now probably hold onto him since he is obviously going to burn me for 100 yds and 2 scores

I hope you're right bc you're not the first person to have traded him this week and already saying he's going to go off. C'mon CJ do it for your granny, may she rest in peace

I took cj second in a draft based on hasselback quarterbacking the titans once I heard hurt locker was qb, I knew I was doomed drafting cj.

[dudekid]

i know, i always play devils advocate...its tough trading your first rounder away but i really do think its gonna help my team in the long run, i think benjarvus will break 1000 yds and hoping for 10 tds since he is the goal line back...and the man literally NEVER fumbles...and who knows maybe alfred morris can be last years demarco murray, as long as shanahan doesnt screw me lol

Really can't believe CJ this year, you think he has to pick it up!
