abenjami Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Interested to hear some opinions on a trade I am considering proposing in one of my leagues. We start 2 RB, 3 WR and a Flex (RB/WR/TE). So you can start 3 RB or 4 WR. I've got Zeke, Mixon and Carson at RB. Obviously very solid. But I'm weak at WR. I've got Cooper, Allison, and Tate (when he returns). I don't like having RB and WR on the same offense (Zeke/Cooper). Should I offer Zeke and Tate for Gurley and Ridley?

No. Definitely not without seeing Gurley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bink Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Also, you can probably get a pure 2 for 1 for Zeke.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to think Gurley is fine and a steal where he’s being drafted. My concern with him is come fantasy playoff time they might put him on a pitch count.

I am not super into Ridley, I think he is a feast or famine player. I might chase someone with more target share upside, like Chris Godwin. I don't think I'd be willing to trade Zeke--I'd look for a Mixon deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I personally would not move Zeke for Gurley. I feel like Gurley is far more likely to wear down before the playoffs, but if you are sure about Gurley I like this deal better. I tend to be more risk avoidant when it comes to my big guns. I might look for a deal where you move a different RB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

abenjami Posted September 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Here's another one. How about Zeke and Hunter Henry for Hopkins and Kelce? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenjami Posted September 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Here's my team to help evaluate. QB - Matt Ryan RB - Zeke RB - Mixon WR - Amari Cooper WR - Allison WR - Tate (DeVante Parker for now) TE - Hunter Henry Flex - Carson K - Lutz DST - Rams Bench - Devin Singletary, Justice Hill, Hunt, McCoy, Mattison, Chase Edmonds, Goedert, Parker (after Tate returns) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleNinja Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 I'd much sooner trade Cooper than Zeke. Zeke is a top 3 fantasy performer. The only players I'd even consider drafting ahead of Zeke are Barkley or Mahomes, and Mahomes is scoring rules dependent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleNinja Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Is Terry McLaurin on the waiver wire in this league? If he is go ahead and pick him up. Who knows if he'll pan out, but the way people were talking about him they didn't play him much at all during preseason was because they knew what they have in him and didn't want to risk him. If that's true it's pretty shocking considering he's a 3rd round rookie. It may just be fluff, but they had no qualms about dropping Doctson and all talk is pointing to him being one of thet starting receivers there. @oldschool... you're in Redskin country. What's the general vibe about McLaurin up there? Pretty much what I'm saying in this post? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
