Matt Forte for Darren McFadden?

Question

i traded Matt forte (Chicago bears) for Darrn McFadden (Oakland raiders)...im starting to second doubt that but im not great at this so do you think it was a good choice??

Answer 1

Id take Forte over Mcfadden becuase Forte will have more of a role with the Bears since they don't have an established passing game... also the Raiders back field is crowded and the coach has said @ many times that he doesn't want toput Mcfadden in too early when the other Rbs are used to the NFL and can get the job done

Answer 2

Umm fletch I think you misread the question and prolly made this dude feel worse.  

This season maybe not the best choice but if you play in a keeper league then great choice...teams don't use top 5 picks on backups no matter who is currently in front of them.

Answer 3

Well i think you made a boneheaded pick Oakland Raiders suck and have a terrible O Line , and wont do anything this year , bears Oline is getting better and better , and Forte will get better and better , with the Oline , Id of definitely kept Forte ...

Answer 4

No, because McFadden is gonna share carries with Fargas, whereas Forte will start and get majority of the carries and the Bears aren't a passing team.. but who knows, anything thing can happen, good luck!

Answer 5

I think it was a good trade.

Answer 6

Mcfadden will be splitting carries this year but next year he will be the feature back. As for the guy above me you read the question wrong he gave away Forte for McFadden. McFadden isnt anything like bush he has power and speed. Bush has speed and no power. Forte will be the every down back in a medicore at best O. Either way i dont see this years Adrian Peterson out of either.

Answer 7

No. Excellent choice. McFadden is a dancer ala Reggie Bush and Forte is Chicago's EVERY DOWN back. That includes goal line carries. In Oaklands scheme it's going to be Fargas who does the lane busting for TD's

Very smart choice.

Chad, he didn't say if it was a keeper league or not. If he's in a keeper league I'm sure he'd have enough frame of mind not to pick either of these guys as his top RB.

For Fantasy value purpose Forte is going to be the guy.

Answer 8

great trade
