Mike Gillislee/Jimmy Graham for Doug Martin (1 Viewer)

[ajgargano]

10 Teams - .5 PPR - Start QB-QB-WR-WR-RB-RB-TE-FLEX-FLEX

I'm currently 4-0.

QB- Jameis Winston, Deshaun Watson, Andy Dalton

WR- Mike Evans, A.J. Green, Doug Baldwin, Chris Hogan, Adam Thielen

RB- Kareem Hunt, Joe Mixon, Tarik Cohen, Mark Ingram, Mike Gillislee, Wendell Smallwood

TE- Jimmy Graham, Evan Engram

I'm an Evan Engram believer and think he might flat outproduce Graham ROS. If not, it's a 10-teamer and there are usually decent streamable options on the WW like Cook, Brate, Watson, etc. So basically I'm trying to use Graham to pick up an upgrade somewhere in my lineup.

I offered Graham for Doug Martin, who I think provides a more stable RB2 option for me, as most of my other non-Hunt RBs have question marks. The other owner wants Gillislee thrown in. I fear that with such a bad defense, the Pats will have to play in shootouts and last year's blowout/Blount formula won't be reliable for Gillislee, so I'm leaning yes. Am I overreacting and forcing an unnecessary move?

You don't need to do it. I'd gamble that Martin doesn't have a great week and try and pick him up cheaper next week with just Graham or if Gilly has a 2 td week you could just do him straight up. No need to give up two players for a unknown.

I'm a Doug Martin believer.

I own Doug Martin and I would never except Graham for him. It was a nice play but it was never going to happen.

So if you believe in Martin 

You think Gillislee isn't going to catch passes, is touchdown reliant and if you think Graham is replaceable by streaming.

Than do it.

If Martin scores a touchdown in his part-time duties against New England (yes, I think he'll be on a snap count) that window will close.

I doubt you can get Martin for Graham and Gillislee now so hopefully you pulled the trigger before yesterday.  If not, and he will still take it I would do it.

I like getting Martin for that, but putting all your eggs in Tampa would scare me as you have Einston Martin and Evans

I agree with this.  If not for the overload on TB I think I would rather have the Martin side of this trade, but the Buccs looked awful last night, except for Martin and maybe Evans.

If its still on the table, there is no good reason not to make that deal.
