Trade advice/ Lamar Jackson (1 Viewer)

[Phaceplant]

So I’m sitting on Lamar Jackson as I have Patrick Mahomes as my starter. A franchise wants to trade for Lamar Jackson. He’s willing to give up Leonard Fournette, Phillip Lindsey, Curtis Samuel and Tyrell Williams and wants Lamar Jackson and Mark Ingram. 

My my team is pretty stacked right now so I’m not sure if this is added points for me or just a headache each week determining my RB core. 

We start 1qb 2rb 2wr 1te 1rb/wr 1def 1pk

Half point ppr league

My team: 

QB: Starter - Patrick Mahomes, bench -Lamar Jackson

RB: Starters - David Johnson, Keryon Johnson, Mark Ingram (flex) Bench - Justin Jackson, Kareem Hunt

WR: Starters - Amari Cooper, Tyler Boyd.  Bench - Courtland Sutton,  Marquise Valdes-Scantling.

TE: TJ Hockensen, Hunter Henry

Def: Houston 

PK: Zuerlein 

My TE situation is my only concern and I need to firm up a decent option there so I don’t know if I can trade here.

Does this trade make me stronger or does is just leave more question as who to start each week?

Would you trade Jackson and Ingram for Fournette and Williams?  The other guys are just throw ins.  If you are that worried about TE, find someone who has one of the top tight ends and see if they are willing to make a trade.  Depending on their QB situation Jackson might seem pretty tempting to the right owner...

Otherwise think about this...  If Mahomes goes down this week, who is going to start for you at QB?

I know a lot of people don't like to keep two QBs on their team.  I respect that.  I traded Jackson to move up to the second pick to get McCaffery in my keeper league and went with Winston as my starting QB.  I'm not sorry I made the trade.  I really wanted McCaffery, but I would kill for Jackson right now over Winston.

I would not make that trade.  You need something that will improve your starting lineup fairly significantly to give up the lottery ticket of Lamar. 

You would not be getting an upgrade at RB (because you lose Ingram too) and Williams doesn't really improve you either.  Sure its a bit more depth but I would rather keep the depth that Lamar provides. 

I would go elsewhere and look to improve your starters significantly.
