trade mchgahee/garcon for reggie bush

[dudekid]

hey all

I have been offered a trade in my league, I give up willis mcgahee/pierre garcon and i receive reggie bush...the reason I like it is because I have joique bell already which is good insurance...the reason I dont is because my lineup is very complete with garcon and mcgahee looks like a workhorse back getting 25 carries...

lineup:
qb-vick
wr (start 3) - garcon, cruz, demaryius thomas
rb (start 2) - forte, mcgahee
te- martellus bennett
flex- torrey smith
bench- j bell, m reece, j kerley, i pead, m goodson

the problem with this is my bench is pretty thin as you can see (very deep league) and if mcgahee gets the carries he will be a solid option as an RB2...if i trade for reggie I will pretty much have two RB1s but no one to really fill in for my flex each week...what do you guys think?

I'm actually just traded those two, but I don't think I'd trade them for Bush.

[dudekid]

just curious, who did u give for garcon/mcgahee?

[Speedy88]

I'd stand pat and just wait for Reggie to get hurt so you can start Bell.

I think it is pretty clear McGahee will be good for 15-20 touches a game. Garçon is still a high end WR2. Reggie is great, but you'd have a huge hole at your FLEX spot.

Giving up two guys, getting one. Who would you potentially pick up as a free agent?

[MexicanStallion]

Normally I would say trade for Bush, but it might be best to turn this offer down. You don't have a good flex at all when picking up Bush. I'm not quite sold on McGahee either. He is getting carries, but he looks washed up.

[BigSpoon]

I'd decline the trade and just roll with what you got personally.

[Grits n' Gravy]

Do it. Worst case you trade again down the road. Your team already is pretty bad. Can't get much worse.

Traded them for Rice and Bowe

[LT Profits]

All things being equal, I would do this automatically in a PPR league because Bush is a top 10 RB in PPR, but the monkey wrench here is your third WR. I would reluctantly decline (and kick myself later ).

[Mitchell88]

I think that the deal that you did was just fine. anything goes in fantasy

[EmpireMaker]

I would take the trade and pick up a hot WR off waivers as a possible #3

[dudekid]

thats sort of along the lines of what i'm thinking...i'd be stacked with 2 RB1s, but i'd have to go to the waivers for another possible WR. i'm seeing if i can buy low on lamar miller, if i can do that, i wouldn't really need to get bush, or i could even make the deal for bush and have depth with miller/bush/forte
