IMO, very very high. But Im not going to trade Rivers and a top RB for him.

Where do you rank rivers and Ellington at there positions ?

Im not really sure on Ellington. He could be a breakout stud or he could fade back into that mid tier. The question mark at QB could work in his favor. If the cards don't have confidence in their signal caller, maybe he gets even more touches? He's providing receiving yards and YPC that you'd expect from Shady and that's a big compliment IMO.

I don't understand why Rivers came into the season so low. Was very happy to get him late in several leagues. I don't expect him to finish top two or three in scoring, but Id be more surprised if he finished outside the top ten than I would in the top five.

So you expect rivers to be in the top 5 in scoring? Also do you expect McCoy to be like last year?

I think Rivers stays top ten. Brees, Manning, Rodgers, Romo and Stafford haven't brought their A games yet, fantasy wise.

McCoy is too good to not produce higher than he has. Especially as a receiver. Im not fully on top of the ins and outs of their OLine, but it's hard for me to see him getting 3 per carry all year.

I think you were better off sticking with Shady. I think he's gonna get it together.

My best guess is slightly lower than 50/50. A lot of things need to happen. First and foremost the Oline has to get healthy, and that's probably not happening until about week 10. Secondly, Foles has to play much better to eliminate some of the 8 man fronts. Along with that, Cooper, Mathews, and Ertz need to step it up.. especially Cooper. If those things all happen, I have faith that McCoy could return to greatness.

Ellington has just gotten started folks. Enjoy the show he will put on this year

 

[wilwhite]

One problem for McCoy is that the player who is opening things up offensively is the one guy who's not on the field with him: Sproles.

And Shady's disappointing despite being the lead back on the top-scoring team in the league through the first five weeks. Not a good sign.

Good deal, Hambombs. I wouldn't even worry about what McCoy does from now on...unless you plan on buying him back low.

I hope you're right! Hoping he's a top 10 back

Good point by Wil.

Eagles need to start playing Shady and Sproles together more and line them up in different places. That could be just what they need.

Also, the DJax loss cannot be underestimated. He was the deep threat that kept the safeties back.

Thanks for your thoughts. What do you think of the deal overall?
