    Should I make this move?

    My running backs are currently: LeSean McCoy, Le'Veon Bell, Bilal Powell, & Eddie Lacy
    Tight Ends are Heath Miller and Ed Dickson

    Guy wants Lacy off me.

    I'm thinking about the following: Lacy and Heath Miller for Julius Thomas and David Wilson

    It's a league where you can use a 2nd QB in the slash position, so I usually only start 2 RB's anyway.

    My thinking against it: Hate to "buy" high on Julius, but is his production ever going to slip? How hurt is David Wilson? I'm hearing 2 very different stories about his neck injury.

    Wilson was barely worth starting before he got hurt. I think Thomas will be a top 3 TE for the rest of the year. If you don't think you'll use Lacy all that often I'd definitely consider doing the deal.

    This is from rotoworld:

    Citing an NFL source, the NY Daily News reports David Wilson has a disc-related neck injury and "will likely be out several weeks."


    Or at least that's the Giants' current understanding, pending the results of Wilson's Monday trip to neck specialist Dr. Robert Watkins. Said one source, "With treatment, this thing could settle down within a couple of weeks." The Giants have a Week 9 bye, so they only play three games over the next 30 days. The team's goal is to try to get the tingling and nerve reaction in Wilson's neck to "settle down." Brandon Jacobs and Da'Rel Scott will share the backfield in the meantime. Andre Brown is eligible to resume playing in football games in Week 10. It's shaping up as a star-crossed, lost season for Wilson and the G-Men.

    Yeah, and I thought I got a steal in the 9th round with Wilson.
    But I stole Moreno in the 7th, so it's all good.

    I drafted Moreno in the 14th round, but packaged him in a trade this week.

    I would go for that deal.

    I don't know if it's worth picking up Wilson for the late run. By then Brown will be back and they will probably platoon like the original plan. If you don't need Lacy you could get a nice upgrade at TE though. It doesn't appear that Thomas is cooling off.

    Yeah. Scratch that. Wilson could be done for year. He is getting a second opinion on Monday.
