Gurley, Landry, Wilson for Barkley, Gordon, Watson (1 Viewer)

I am in a 12 team PPR dynasty league.  What do you think about me trading Gurley, Jarvis Landry, and Russel Wilson for Barkley, Josh Gordon, and De Shaun Watson?  I also have Kamara, Hopkins, and Michael Thomas as my top players.  Thanks for any input!

 
if it was me, I would not do it.  I see more value with the Gurley side of the deal... and I don't trust Gordon at all.

I see Landry as a more sure thing than Gordon but lower ceiling. I think Gordon could have a higher upside.  Since I have Hopkins, and Thomas I was thinking it might be worth a chance.  The other two players I like getting younger at those two positions

For me I would take Gurley slightly over Barkley, Gordon vs. Landry is a toss up and is really about who you like better and what kind of risks you like taking. I also like Wilson quite a bit more than Watson.

I wouldn't do it. I like the risk on Gordon vs Landry, but that difference between Landry and Gordon wouldn't be enough for me to the deal if it was Gurley and Landry for Barkley and Gordon. To this type of deal I would need Landry to be Davante Adams type receiver.

Don't do it. Barkley is a shiny new toy but he is unproven. I do like Watson over Wilson and Gordon could be a difference maker but he is one screw up away from being gone, nobody ever likes Landry but he has won fantasy leagues for me with his consistency.

 
I'd stick with what you have. Gordon and Watson are much more risky. Your trade partner will likely point to Watson's ADP vs. Wilson, but I think his ADP of second QB (this is what I heard on SXM anyway) is stupid. That said, Seattle's line is mediocre at best. Wilson comes with some risk of his own.

You are safer keeping what you have but there's more potential upside on the other side of the trade. You need to ask yourself a simple question.

'Do I want reliability or a chance at a higher ceiling for my team?'

If you prefer safe, reliability you should stay put. If you want to take a small-medium risk on a higher ceiling than pull the trigger as fast as you can.

 
I won the league last year so I feel like I can take a chance to get better for the long term....Barkley and Watson being younger.  Still can't decide whether to make the offer or not.  For all I know it may not even be accepted!
