I want to badly but I'm afraid of injury prone McFadden and j Jones and white will probably go back and forth all year. Help me out FF Board. TIA

Bigger upside with Mcfadden and Jones, but I personally would be afraid of the risk of injury as well. I probably wouldnt make the trade.

Im a huge rice fan but I think mcfadden/jones is the winner here. I didnt draft mcfadden because of the injury risk but if he stays healthy he is an elite rb. Jones may approach megatron numbets this year

If the only place that matters to you is 1st place, I say make the trade. McFadden+Jones is a winning combination.

I think you're falling in love with upside and not looking at what you already have. Why trade away an established stud RB, and a WR 1.
For a guy that CAN be as good as Rice IF he stays healthy. And a WR who has big upside but is still unproven; and battles injuries often.

Don't trade away guys who are already established for guys you think may establish themselves...

Jones battles injuries?!! Nicks is the one that cant stay healthy. Jones is proven in my book. Number 2 wr in the league

I must add that I think Ray Rice is the number 2 rb in the league. May be #1 after this season

I'd keep Rice and Nicks. But I'm probably a pussy.

Nicks gets nicked up a lot (no pun intended), but I wouldnt say he or Julio are battle injuries really. Nicks hasnt missed a game in his pro career.

As for McFadden...

Yea he was constantly nicked up at Bama; and what'd he play 12 games last season?
I don't think I'd give him #2 WR in the league quite yet.

Hakeem nicks has never missed a game, you just think he battles injuries bc he's got that foot thing right now, which is now fine

i love julio but i would probably rather rice/nicks over dmc/julio...it'd be hard as hell to let the potential nastiness of dmc/julio go but getting rice/nicks is a little safer

Jones has had an injury pretty much every year since Bama. I actually have McFadden and Jones and are looking to trade both.

I'd lean towards the McFadden/Jones side.

I don't think I'm gonna accept. Much rather the safest option than the upside. It's so damn tempting though. I don't think Julio will be posting numbers every week like he did week 1. I think him and White will go back and forth.
