I have Chris Johnson and Ryan Matthews and was offered Darren Mcfadden and Adrian Peterson.

Lot of injuries, risks, and high ceilings in that trade.

Take it now! Before he changes his mind.

I'd take it, the fact that AP is at the very least questionable for week 1 is a pretty good sign.

No question you need to take that trade. Who's your RB3 to play in Week 1 if AP is out?

CJ - Matthews > DMC - Peterson

No?

I would think so too. More upside with DMC/AP but I wouldn't do it.

Not to me. Not by a long shot.

It's fairly even but I think CJ will have a huge year.

Why would you not do it if they have more upside?

Donald Brown, Beanie Wells, or Rashad Jennings. Hadn't checked out the matchups yet.

Rashad Jennings should be your RB3 for sure.

I would take that shite in a heartbeat. Go get Gerhart though.

CJ and DMC are probably a push. CJ doesn't have the injury concerns though.


Matthews will outscore Peterson. Matthews has injury problems but APete is fresh off a pretty serious injury to his knee. Gerhart has proved to be capable.

People are fluffing up AP just because of who he is. Take a look at RBs coming off ACL injuries and how they fared the next season

I'm a little biased because of my love for McFadden. I think he'll be the best fantasy back in the league this year. . . And I was able to get Ray Rice and him on the same team (but I digress).

The winner of that trade is FJax-Wallace.

Like...?

Everyone comes back from the injury. They just arent effective the year after, especially one that happened late in the season
