Trade LT?

[dgack]

You don't win fantasy championships in October. All you're trying to do is limp into the playoffs, and then it's a 3-week shell game to victory. I can't tell you how many times I've built the league's most complete team through crazy trades and acquisitions, only to be punished by some douchebag who scored a one-week wonder with some defensive player or backup QB (i.e. The Billy Volek Effect).

Also, there's pretty solid statistical evidence backing up the notion that RB's who were ridden WAY too hard last year were going to take a hit on the order of ~20% of their fantasy totals from last year, and that group includes LT, LJ, SJax, Alexander. Not surprised in the least to see it coming true so far.

All that said, LT is a player who will be winning fantasy championships for guys come December. If anything, the early hole San Diego put themselves in will all but assure that LT is running like mad by the end of the fantasy season.

PS, if you're in a league where someone's panicking and trying to dump LT cheap, do yourself a favor and do whatever it takes to make the deal.
