Edelman for Aaron Jones? (1 Viewer)

[theEinherjar]

I'm currently undefeated in a 12 team PPR league and looking to strengthen my starters for the playoffs. (I had a good, lucky, draft)  My team is as follows:

QB: Aaron Rodgers

WR: Mike Evans, AJ Green, Julian Edelman, Courtland Sutton, KeKe Coutee, Tre'Quan Smith 

RB: Todd Gurley, Mark Ingram, Ito Smith, Nyheim Hines, Malcolm Brown

TE: OJ Howard
DEF: Chicago

Should I trade Edelman for Aaron Jones?  I feel like I'd be overpaying based on their current value but I could, easily, look back in a few weeks and think of it as a great move if he takes over the GB backfield.  I'd be more bullish if not for the injuries to AJ Green and Mike Evans that happened this week.

Leave a link and I'd be happy to answer yours!

Thanks!

I'd do it. You have good wr's but weak RB's after the first two.

I would be leaning no but it depends on starting requirements.  I assume you play 2 WR/2RB and a flex.  If that is the case you are essentially trading the flex spot.  Who do you think is better between the two.  I think Edelman based on uncertainty with volume from Jones.

We do, indeed, start 2RB, 2WR, and a flex.  My thought with this trade is that jones might become more valuable than Ingram.  Jones would be my RB2 and I start Ingram, or one my litany of rookie WRs at flex.  I take it you think there’s no way that happens though...lol

thanks for for your help!
