Just been offered:

Jonathan Stewart and Antonio Brown, plus a 2nd round pick next year (Equivalent of a fourth round pick, but means I essentially would mean I got Ryan for Eli Manning yesterday) for:

Elliott and Jeffery and a sixth round pick next year. 

It'd be nice to wait till after this weekend given this week's matchup for Elliott and that Roethlisberger will be back next week and I'll have David Johnson and possibly McCoy back in the lineup.

Thoughts? Another fantasy site's tools suggest that the deal as proposed is a big gain for me on Brown's back alone. I countered the original offer which was for a third for a 2nd plus sending back Marshall, but he won't take marshall.

Don't think I would do that.... 

 

[wlwiles]

You need WR help for sure.  You didn't mention any, so can I assume that keeper costs are negligible?  Or keeper durations are equal (can keep Elliott or Brown for the same length or forever)?  If different then that changes things.  

I would do this deal.  You're essentially trading a top 3 RB for a top 3 WR, but you've got another top 3 RB still in DJ.  Alshon > Stewart but you're swapping a 6th for 4th, so you come out ahead.  Upgrade at WR, Downgrade at RB, Upgrade draft picks.  2/3 wins for you.  Brown in a keeper league is very enticing, and generally I'd take the stud WR over the stud RB due to career length and injury likeliness (WR > RB usually).

I like this trade, but I think Elliot outperforms Stewart more than Brown outperforms Jeffery..it comes down to the value of the draft pick.  Nothing wrong with not making the trade though and steamrolling with those two RBs.
