I don't play PPR, but I have to think Allen is going to be a PPR beast rest of season. His target share is very high and his touchdowns are going to come... Cooks also is going to see increased value with Hogan out.

Still... Julio is a really big fish. The trade is fair value IMO. You wouldn't be getting screwed, but I don't know how it really helps you. You'll have a lot of quality WRs and you can only play three of them. That said, I don't love DT (who I presume is Demariyus Thomas) or Amari Cooper, though both also seem poised for better second halfs... after all it can't get worse for them. 

This is a bit wishy washy advice, but I'd stand pat. Hold out hope that DT or Cooper turn it around and know that Julio will get his at some point this year. If you need to make a move to make the playoffs, well, then sometimes it's the right thing to shake up your team. It might give you more pieces to make a move to improve your backs, though I have to assume Kamara is pretty darn good in PPR.

I am not advocating bailing on Julio this year, because he's still an elite WR.  But, for the right price I do think I'd sell him.  This is a very tough call, because this is as close to the right price as I think I've seen.  The ATL offense is not the same as last year under Shanny, and either Sark just hasn't figured out yet that Julio is their best weapon and to get him the ball, or Quinn wont let him for some weird reason.  

I would probably accept this deal if I were you, and here's part of the reason why.  If Zeke's suspension does happen this week, it gives you a partial replacement piece for him.  Now you start Miller and have Cooks to help fill your flex. Cooks also gets a slight uptick for long TD bonuses. 

You'll need to drop someone though, and with that short of a bench you don't have an easy drop candidate. I'd probably lean towards dropping one of your QBs, but you'll have their byes coming up soon so probably not wise to drop either of them.  Any chance the other owner could sweeten the deal at all if you were to throw in one of your TEs to him?
