Willis McGahee For Michael Turner?

Question

Is this a good trade for fantasy football?

i have mcgahee and i want to get turner

Answer 1

no matter how you explain it. weather your for it or against it my suggestion is a 12 pack of beer each sunday.

after all it's still the Ravens and the Falcons.

don't get me wrong i'm a life long Falcons Fan but after 20 years of faithful fan hood the beer guy drops off a keg each sunday during football season.

Answer 2

McGahee is sure to get you well over 1,000 yard rushing. Although he doesn't get a lot of TDs.

Turner is going to a very weak team and has never been a starter yet in his career.

If it was my team, I would stick with the proven starter that has shown he can put up some stats even though he is on a very poor offensive team, and that's McGahee.

Answer 3

YES! McGahee hasn't owned up to his potential since he came to Baltimore and never will. Turner learned under LT for years, and provided excellent backup. Guess who backed up Jamal Lewis before getting a starting job? Priest Holmes. He learned the game, he's good! And Atlanta has no quarterback, so they'll run a ton. Turner is who you want no question.

Answer 4

I'd swap McGahee for Turner. I think Atlanta has no choice but to run the ball a lot (the Ravens do too but...) and offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey loves swing passes to his backs. I honestly believe Turner will provide his owner 1st or 2nd round value while McGahee is a 2nd, 3rd or 4th round value. It's a bit of a gamble, as the previous answer attests, but taking chances is how you win a league.

Answer 5

I prefer McGahee as he is a proven stud on a good team.  Turner is not as good and is on a weak team with a suspect QB.

Answer 6

I don't think so.  Defenses will be putting 8 and 9 in the box to stop the run at Atl.  Who's their QB?  I'm not a McGahee fan but at least he's on a better team.
