Keeper: OBJ Deal (1 Viewer)

[ohjoe]

12 team PPR keeper where we keep 4.  I have Elliott, AJ Green, Gurley, and Dez.

Do I trade Gurley and Dez for Beckham Jr?

• I'm leaning no, as I'd like to see what Gurley can do in the new offense but OBJ might be the best player in fantasy for the next few years.

Absolutely I would.   You would have 3 top 10 dynasty players.  You probably have another player that you can keep.   Plus is diversifies your team getting rid of Dez.

But the OBJ owner probably won't think it's enough.  I would not accept that for OBJ.....it's not a terrible offer, but I would need a superelite player in return or part of the deal for OBJ, and Gurley nor Dez is a superelite player.  It's kind of two half dollars for a dollar type deal.  You always want the single dollar.

This depends on who you can keep as your 4th guy.

It would be nice to know, but it really doesn't matter to me.  I will take 3 top 10 keeper options all day.

OBJ is arguably the #1 Dynasty asset of the moment. I would want Elliott and Green if I were the OBJ owner, but I am insane.

That is insane!  I would say Elliott and a solid WR like say......Allen Robinson for OBJ + throw in.  Most won't pay that price, but OBJ's price is supposed to be very steep.

If you are buying that Zeke will be in the league in five years and Robinson won't be dreadful, then I guess you could do that deal but OBJ has averaged 94/1375/11 over his first three seasons and he is only 24. Personally, I think Zeke won't be in the league in 5 years and even if he is the running style he has doesn't usually bode well for a running back being a long-term asset. You could get this type of production from Beckham for the next 6-7 years.

Looking 5 years down the road is dangerous.  Too much happens in the NFL that affect players so looking that far down the road can get you in trouble.  Typically I look at 2 yr increments.  And for the next 2 years Zeke is a top asset.  So to me that is worthwhile - not that I would do it but it is in the ballpark.

As far as the initial trade offer, I would definitely offer it up but whether the other guy accepts is really dependent upon his view of Gurley.  If he sees him as an elite asset he might be willing to accept but I doubt he would think high enough to do the deal.  It doesn't hurt to ask though.
