GoonCrew 2 Posted October 11, 2019 Standard non-ppr league. McCaffery owner is 1-4. I am 4-1 but thinking about trying to pry CMC away from him. He is hurting at QB mainly. Thinking about trading a combination of D Henry, M Evans and Kyler Murray for CMC and a few throw ins. I start Brady normally, so Kyler is expendable. Henry and Evans I start but I also have Cook & Hopkins as my others. So this is basically a 2 for 1 in my eyes (Henry/Evans for CMC). Do I stand pat and keep chugging away or roll the dice to shake things up? I have visions of CMC and Cook leading my team going forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxeElf 787 Posted October 11, 2019 If you're 4-1 you probly don't need to fix what ain't broke, but I can't imagine another owner trading away Christian McCaffrey, the single-most valuable player in fantasy football this year, for an upgrade over whatever QB he's currently starting for the privilege of acquiring Kyler Murray. If it's not a huge league, he can probly pick up someone like Minshew or Mariota off waivers and get 2-3 pts per week less than Murray offers. I guess it never hurts to ask, but I think you'd have to be dealing with an orangutan to get him to hit that "Accept" button. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoonCrew 2 Posted October 11, 2019 For reference, his QB's are Darnold & Trubitsky. Most of the decent QB's are gone. My thought is him picking up 3 viable starters for one may entice. I know McCaffery's value (have him in another league) but even I think the trade is not a total rip off based on his needs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldtimer 84 Posted October 11, 2019 At 1-4 in a redraft, most owners are in panic mode. One more loss and he's out for the season. I'd make him a decent offer tonight and try for your guy. I normally put out feelers for trades when an owner is 1-3, but at 1-4, it's not atypical to see the owner make a change simply for the sake of making a change. Go for it.

AxeElf 787 Posted October 11, 2019 40 minutes ago, GoonCrew said: For reference, his QB's are Darnold & Trubitsky. Yeah, if I had Darnold, I wouldn't panic right now. He's only played 1 game, and he has games coming up against teams like the Giants, Oakland, Washington, Cincinnati, Baltimore, and 2 games against Miami. I certainly wouldn't be trading away the best player in fantasy football for an upgrade to Kyler Murray, but then, not every owner is Axe Elf; your mileage may vary.

RabidSeaCows 99 Posted October 12, 2019 Non-ppr is the defining thing for me in this trade. Henry isn't too far behind CMC & by throwing in Evans you might find you traded away more points than you can get from CMC straight up... When winter hits NE, you might find that Brady isn''t running in two 1-yards TD's as often. You may wish you still had Murray. JMHO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,459 Posted October 12, 2019 I would try to get Mccaffery, just not so sure even at 1-4 if I would give him up. Guess it depends on the return, and I would want back another rb stud for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
