Should I trade Darren McFadden for Michael Turner in my NFL Fantasy League? Also, should I pick up Ray Rice?

Question

I have McFadden.

Answer 1

No

Answer 2

i would keep mcfadden cause he could hav a adrian type year. and theres no point of getting ray rice he wont do to good this year.

Answer 3

Thats a tossup. Both teams have sub-par lines. Both of those running backs are expected to share time with other backs on their teams.

Michael Turner should be a day 1 starter

Darren McFadden will have to wait his turn behind Justin Fargas

If you have 2 other solid backs then I would keep McFadden and wait for him to get his chance.

If you don't have other quality options, then I would take a chance on Turner exploding this year.

I'm not sold on Ray Rice. I would pick up some one like Ricky Williams instead.

Answer 4

Yes and yes if you arent dropping any value. Those who say "Rice wont do to good this year" obviously havent been paying attention. Baltimore really likes Rice and he will get a decent amount of carries. I think he will be one of the surprises of the season. If you own McGahee, all the more reason to pick him up.

Answer 5

McFadden is all hype until he actually feels the bodily  impact of veteran nfl defense players. Turner is going to be a star shining in the Falcon offense. He'd make a great starter on any nfl team. I saw Price play on tv and I thought he was great, even before he was even mentioned for the draft. If you don't have to sacrifice to nail him, pick him up for bench duty. But treat him like any other rook, he won't get much playin time except on special teams. I stay away from rookies. You can always pick up one who proves himself the following year.
