POTENTIAL BIG TRADE - Need Advice. (1 Viewer)

[gobirds93]

Hello all! I am in a 12 team, .5 PPR league and I am currently 8-0.

I am looking to make a trade that will help my team down the line. I feel that I can make a deal that may not look as good in the short-term, but can really take my team to the next level long term... I feel that being 8-0, I can get creative.

This is a hypothetical offer that I was thinking of offering up.

TRADE - Jaylen Waddle, JK Dobbins, Jake Ferguson

Receive - Chris Olave, Isiah Pacheco.

My thought behind this is I upgrade immediately at WR, and then I have Tracy or Mostert to be serviceable for me at my flex spot until Pacheco returns. What do you guys think? Too risky? Like the trade but maybe change something? (Tracy instead of Dobbins?)

My Roster

QB - Sam Darnold or Brock Purdy
RB - Derrick Henry
RB - Joe Mixon
WR - Justin Jefferson
WR - Jaylen Waddle
TE - Jake Ferguson or Cade Otton
Flex - JK Dobbins

Bench - Tyrone Tracy, Raheem Mostert, Jordan Addison, Jalen McMillan.

Any thoughts / advice are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I think going after these type trades in your position is definitely what you should be doing. I just don't think I would do this trade. I am not sold on Olave being an upgrade necessarily so I wouldn't do the trade listed.

If I were you I would see what the CMC owner wants. That is the kind of move that can put you over the top if you can get it done. Nico Collins would another possible trade target depending on what their owner is staring at playoffs wise.

thanks, man! I was shut down pretty quickly when I inquired for Collins. I said JK Dobbins + someone else? And he shot me down very quickly.

If you offered that to me I would break my finger accepting it.

Love Dobbins, Waddles only gonna get better with Tua back, Ferguson is solid.

olave is fine but I do t see the huge upgrade you do now that Tua is back. And Pacheco might not even play until you season is already over. I

I feel ya! Just trying to get creative to see how I can maybe do a 2 for 1 or 3 for 2 trade and improve my team down the line. Would hate to have depth on my bench that'll go to waste. I know I know injuries happen, but my team as is (lost Godwin recently), I am not sure I can win it all.

The thing is it won't go to waste. If they are on your bench then other teams are weaker. There is an advantage to that. Obviously if you can improve your starting lineup by consolidating depth then that is the best way to go (especially as you get further into the season and depth is of less importance). But making a trade just to make a trade usually is a bad thing.

Would you trade Waddle + Dobbins for St. Brown?

Would you trade Waddle + Dobbins for St. Brown?

110% Yes, but does that help your team?

You are improving your WR 2 nicely but Tua is back and Detroit is only using St Brown when they need to. Which is AWSOME for real life and potentially the FF playoffs but week to week now?

You also lose Dobbins in flex who ya moving…..???? Tracy/Mostert/Ferguson I understand your waiting for Pacheco but he doesn’t have one of those “off IR stud again” injuries. It’s gonna take time even after he’s back. I personally like Tracy a lot so I could see him filling the role but will ARSB and Tracy be better than Waddle and Dobbins right now?

Some additional context here.. I actually do not have Pacheco.

Moving dobbins and Waddle like you said would put ASB as my WR#2 and then I’d have to trust Tracy as my every week flex with Mostert as the backup.

I feel that I may be able to afford something like this in this present moment because I’m 8-0, and then Tracy should get better and better each week. I’m concerned about Dobbins efficient.. or maybe I’m overreacting

Again . I’m 110% on board with the trade. I’d do it simply to have ARSB for the playoffs is worth it to me. But again…. I just don’t known if it actually helps YOUR team.

Thanks for your responses man... side question here.. start Dobbins or Tracy this week?? I am leaning Tracy..

I’ve been on the Dobbins train all year, not getting off now.
