Was offered this trade by a RB needy team in PPR. Im currently 5-1 and in 1st.

I give:
AJ Green
Adrian Peterson

I get:
Antonio Brown
Amari Cooper


Rest of my team besides Green and AD for reference:

QB: Cousins, Watson
RB: Fournette, Gordon, Mckinnon, Murray
WR: Hopkins, Hill, Matthews, Garcon, Lewis
TE: Walker

My dilemma is messing with a 5-1 team and RB depth id Gordon of LF go down. I have to drop Lewis for a TE next week and dont really wanna drop anyone else for handcuffs.

I think i'd pull the trigger. how big is your bench? your depth is great. is this 10 team? 8 team?

10 team league.

Standard lineup basically. Qb, 2rb, 2wr, te, k, def, flex.

7 man bench

yeah, i'd do it then. you get the best player in the trade, have great depth at both WR and RB. who knows how well AD will hold up, and what happens when/if DJ comes back. nice trade

 

[rangerssharks414]

I’d make that trade.

Of course Cooper is going off tonight... fml.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Another week, another strong performance from my bench (this week being Cooper)

 

[Goose of Reason]

Me and the guy that has Cooper in one of my leagues have been putting proposals back and forth to each other with him in it, and this morning before I had coffee I turned down Cooper for Hilton. Maaaan is that one gonna sting the rest of the season.

 

[rangerssharks414]

Well, at least I could feel comfortable starting Cooper for the rest of the year. God dammit.

 

[rangerssharks414]

49 points for Cooper on my bench

 

[Terry Yake]

cooper goes off the week i bench him

of course

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

Not only did I sit cooper, but my other two options for my WR#2 spot this week are hurt and not likely to play (Diggs) or possibly hurt and is not sure if they'll play this week (Allen).

F. M. L.

 

[Evincar]

I started Cooper all season and I put up him back in the lineup 5 minutes before gametime after I heard the Raiders where going to try to get him more involved and maybe move him in the slot. My other options were M. Bryant and John Brown.

I dont blame anyone for sitting him. Start your QBs and WRs vs the Chiefs for the rest of the season.

 

[tacogeoff]

Going against a friend this week that left cooper and carr on the bench lol. 70 points just sitting there. Lucked out.

 

[Big Poppa Puck]

So I made the trade and sat Cooper who wound up with 49 points.

I started Tyreek Hill over him who got 29, but still. Could have put Cooper in my flex too over McKinnon but didn't.

At least I was playing Lynch.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

I didn't really have a viable alternative to Cooper, so I left him. I am smart.

 

[Zorf]

My only WR options this week are Antonio Brown (obvious start), Keenan Allen and Cooper Kupp. I'm hoping Keenan can play.

 

[Remington 700]

Etiquette question. I'm in second place playing the first place team this week. He has Fournette and they just said on Sirius that he's not playing so I just grabbed Ivory.
I have no need for I Ivory and only picked him up so my opponent doesn't get him.

So should I feel guilty if I just drop him Sunday morning and grab someone else since he won't clear waiver in enough time for my opponent to play him. Sick move or all's fair?

Fair game. As long as you don't add players just to cut them the next day for a whole bunch of players so that everyone is on waivers is fine with me.

A few years back, one of my opponents forgot to replace his kicker who was on a bye after the afternoon games ended. I had some dead weight on my roster, so I added all of the Sunday night and Monday night kickers. It is a **** move, but it's totally fair in my opinion. Your opponent should have had a backup plan.

You never know. I turned down Hilton and Prior for Hyde in week 2 and was kicking myself til I got offered Dez for Hyde.

 

[rangerssharks414]

I am now 3-4 with the 2nd most points. Ugh.

 

[Goose of Reason]

I am now 3-4 with the 2nd most points. Ugh.

Unless Cousins and Elliot can put up 40 points for me tonight I'll be in the same boat. It sucks.

 

[Bobby Orrtuzzo]

I need Chris Thompson to put up 3 points. That's all I need.

Hey guys, don't really post here much, but I am wondering what you guys think I should do to my team. After this week I will be 5-2 and first in my division. What kind of moves should I be looking to make on my team

QBs: Tyrod Taylor, Andrew Luck
RBs: Leonard Fournette, Joe Mixon, Latavious Murray, Wendell Smallwood, Orleans Darkwa
WRs: Julio Jones, Alshon Jeffery, Adam Thielen, Pierre Garcon, Martavis Bryant
TEs: Travis Kelce, Evan Engram
K: Ryan Succop
D/ST: Varies every week (Pick up different one off of waivers each week depending on what team they are playing. Right now I have Cowboys)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey man, it's a bit tough to help without knowing the settings (PPR, standard, number of teams, keeper or not, etc) but i'll try. You could definitely use a better QB. If Luck comes back this season, which i'm sure was what you were banking on, you could be okay - but may be worth it to try and get another in case he doesn't. Your RBs are kind of weak- Fournette is great but after that... You have good depth in WR especially in PPR. I expect Julio to finish well, Garcon is great PPR, Thielen i'm pretty high on, Jeffrey i'm not as high as some others but he's usually solid and I think would have good value to trade. I'd say you probably have the best TE combo in the league.

Honestly, i'd probably try and trade Kelce and Jeffrey and try to pick up a better RB. With Kelce you should be able to get a solid RB1/2 to a team looking for better TE - he's one of the best. Depending on how deep your league is, you could probably get by streaming QB and hope for Luck to come back. I'd probably focus mainly on trying to get better RB. could probably get some decent WR on the waiver wire to fill in if needed. Hope that helps

Ugghhhh Elliot missing that kick lost me my week. Wow did that hurt
