RB Depth By Trading AP

Question

I need depth at RB therefore should i trade Adrian Peterson for Larry Johnson and Brandon Jacobs/Willis Mcgahee? Thank.

Answer 1

No way, Peterson is a play maker. Peterson is a must keep in any format and will score enough points for you to equal multiple running backs

Answer 2

Not for those backs no. If you were to get say, Portis/Lynch and Grant then deal but i dont like that deal

Answer 3

If you want depth, then that trade is a good one.  LJ could perform on the same level as AP, and the other 2 are solid #2 RBs.  Macgahee more than jacobs bec he is more durable.  I say do it, AP has been injured in the last 3 seasons he played (college and NFL).  So I question his durability.  And defenders will have more tape to see how to stop him.

Answer 4

I don't like that trade whatsoever, but that's just my opinion.  Peterson is a stud, and you can't replace that type of production with any of those RB's.  Johnson is often hurt, Jacobs is a bruiser, and McGahee will more than likely see his playing time reduced.  

Answer 5

DO NOT TRADE ADRIAN PETERSON EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 6

Absolutely do it.  LJ and McGahee.  Jacobs is a risk in my opinion, but I think AP is going to be a bust.  The more into the season that Tavaris Jackson struggles, the more that defenses are going to attack AP.

I think LJ will have a bounce back year and could put up better numbers then AP.

I say do it.
