Should I trade Bryant and Hopkins (1 Viewer)

[allgar]

I feel like they have poor playoff schedules. Bryant has failed to impress this year, though he has had a pretty solid floor, still he isn't separating and he just doesn't seem to have much left in the tank. Hopkins had a nice week with Savage, but I'm thinking rest of season numbers probably won't always look so good. The fact that he played well with Savage leads me to believe I still have a chance to sell him with some value.

I'm looking at acquiring Amari Cooper and Stefon Diggs for those two guys. Cooper is getting his targets and has a very nice schedule rest of season. Diggs looks to be healthy (although always a risk to re-injure - I think he might actually be made of tissue paper - but I digress). Diggs is getting Bridgewater back and there is a chance he could be dominant rest of season if he's healthy and has a quality QB playing with him.

I'm currently sitting 8-1. Standard scoring, redraft, 10 team. 

I have Sterling Shepard and Marvin Jones Jr. as my other WRs on the team and a backfield with Leveon Bell, Mark Ingram and Doug Martin.

While Hopkins has a poor schedule, Hopkins just came off a game in which he received a 36% target share. When your QB is locked on to you that much, you roll with that type of volume even if the efficiency isn't there. I don't really like Bryant and you're almost relying on TDs at this point in his career because he still sees solid volume but not great yardage totals. I just think they spread the ball around more in that offense.

Cooper is going to be very inconsistent for you but has a very nice playoff schedule and Diggs will be solid in the 2nd half as well. If you're getting Cooper, I like him better as a 3rd WR (isn't that what he really is right now although talent tells you otherwise which is why I think he still maintains his value despite the lack of performance).

So I'd try and hang on to Hopkins but see if you can trade Bryant.

Everything that you said about Bryant as reasons why you don't like him for fantasy apply to Cooper.  He has bricks for hands, drops way too many passes, gets completely ignored for long stretches of time, and is the very definition of inconsistent.  I'd rather keep Dez and Nuk over acquiring Cooper and Diggs.  

No issues with you trying to flip Dez for Diggs though
