Aiming for LeSean McCoy (1 Viewer)

[Phantom Knight]

Keep 6 (keeper round listed with each player); 20-man roster stating 1qb, 2rb, 3wr, 1te,1 r/w/t, 1k, 1 def. PPR

I've been hit with injuries (David Johnson, OBJ, Corey Davis, Corey Coleman, John Ross plus a few lesser names).  If you can look past losing DJ and OBJ, in particular, I have been lucky so far and after two consecutive wins by less than 1/2 point each, I am sitting at 4-2. But I know I need to improve my odds of staying afloat in the middle of this season in the hopes that my team will develop strength later in the season. I am trying to get a legit every week rb1 with DJ out of commission (and a changed complexion in the Arizona rb situation perhaps). I currently have the roster (minus K and Def):

• Ben Roethlisberger (10th)  (hold the ridicule please!)
  
• Mitch Trubisky (15th)
  
• ------------------------------
  
• Mark Ingram (4th)
  
• Jay Ajayi (16th)
  
• David Johnson (8th)
  
• Derrick Henry (3rd)
  
• D'onta Foreman (8)
  
• Elijah McGuire (20)
  
• Marlon Mack (20)
  
• Ameer Abdullah (5th)
  
• ------------------------------
  
• Keenan Allen (13th)
  
• Demaryius Thomas (20th)
  
• OBJ (19th)
  
• Pierre Garcon (6th)
  
• Juju Smith-Schuster (20th)
  
• Corey Davis (1st)
  
• Mike Williams (20th)
  
• Eric Decker (9th)
  
• ------------------------------
  
• Zach Ertz (11th)
  

I have my eyes on LeSean McCoy but the owner is currently sitting at 5-1 but doesn't have a strong bench (imo at least).  But he probably thinks that he has a good chance to take home the trophy this year (though I would disagree) and so he will not be playing for the future (I have some nice keeper candidates).  His roster:

• Aaron Rogers (7th)
  
• Matthew Stafford (10th)
  
• Josh McCown (20th)
  
• ------------------------------
  
• CJ Anderson (4th)
  
• LeSean McCoy (1st)
  
• LeGarrette Blount (9th)
  
• Matt Forte (19)
  
• ------------------------------
  
• Golden Tate (2nd)
  
• Larry Fitzgerald (6th)
  
• Michael Crabtree (3rd)
  
• Danny Amendola (15th)
  
• Rishard Matthews (14th)
  
• Jeremy Maclin (13th)
  
• Kenny Golladay (20th)
  
• Allen Hurns (18th)
  
• ------------------------------
  
• Kyle Rudolph (5th)
  
• Jared Cook (20th)
  
• Antonio Gates (16th)
  

Players that I would like to consider in a trade for McCoy: DHenry and Abdullah. Or even both and perhaps a wr.  My IR players DJ and OBJ are not for sale!  Neither is Ertz. I really don't want to get rid of Ingram or Ajayi or Foreman unless absolutely necessary. 

Important to me: I like win-win trades as opposed to trying *get* the win in a trade.

So the questions:  

1) I am guessing that even despite Henry's Week 6 explosion that my proposed offer (Henry and Abdullah) won't fly due to the other owner's 5-1 record and the (at least short term) drop-off in points from his rb1 position.  Does anyone here see an offer or various offers that would keep his overall points (rb/wr) stable while netting me LeSean. 

2) Is it likely that the cost of getting McCoy would actually weaken my team now/in the short term making it better that I just stand pat and try to weather the storm?

Just ask the guy what he would want for McCoy.  I don't think he will move him for anything less than an every week RB starter, TE upgrade, and WR help.  His RB's take a big hit if McCoy is lost so it will take a lot to move the needle.  However, you will never know until you ask.

I would look at teams with worse records and try to tell a D Henry or a Corey Davis/Mike Williams to them.
