Is this a good trade? He wants to give me Randy Moss, Matt Forte, and Tony Gonzalez for....?

Question

and I have to give up Calvin Johnson and Maurice Jones-Drew. My issue is that I am pretty thin at RB (Larry Johnson, Earnest Graham, and DaAngelo Williams are my only other 3) and I have to start 2 RB and a flex. It's a reception league and I think both MJD and Calvin are going to have breakout years. I have Chris Cooley and I don't really want Tony G so what do you think?

Answer 1

You have a lot of risk in your back field, LJ hasn't proved much yet on his comeback (he's on a rebuilding team also).  Graham will compete for carries this year, and DaAngelo might not be the starter by week 3.  If wideout get a lot point in your league go for it, if not I'd flip a coin on it.  It's not a bad deal when you think about it, even if Moss's TDs drop off.

Answer 2

I really don't think Randy Moss will have a season like last year..more teams will probably double coverage him and there is also questions about Tom Brady. I don't see the points of having both Cooley and Gonzalez because you really only need one TE (unless they get injured or on a bye week). If you think MJD and Calvin are going to breakout this season, why don't you just keep them.  

Answer 3

Calvin Johnson won't be the #1 guy in Detroit with Roy Williams, but he'll get his share of catches.  I, personally, wouldn't trade Jones-Drew because I have drafted each of the past 2 years and he has never let me down.  And I agree, Moss won't have another 23 TD season but I think he will still be good, as always.  Tony G is getting old and Chris Cooley gets a lot of catches each week, and plenty of TD's and puts up good points for TE. NO DEAL!
