Trade advice needed!!! (1 Viewer)

Guy who just lost Hampton wants to trade me Quinton Johnston for my Charbonnett. He only has Jacobs and ETN at the moment. My rbs are: JCM, Henderson, Pollard, Aaron Jones, Demercado and Marks. My wrs are: Lamb, Nico, GW, Jamo, Slayton and Jennings. Seems like a no brainer for me. Side note, I traded this guy QJ for JCM a few weeks ago so I'd get him back. Thoughts/comments? Thanks in advance!

I think you need to use the QJ to trade and get better RBs, This trade value wise is good but, not going to strengthen your starters- sounds like a trading league tho?

There are about 3 or 4 out of 10 that will trade, rest will not. Good point on QJ but he can definitely fill in the gap for Lamb being out for sure and heck I'd start him over Jamo at this point. This league isn't one to give up many RB's although it's PPR and 1 QB. Wonder what RB I could get for QJ? He seems to be a sit and forget starter at this point. Plus I've got Nico on bye this week.

I think the trade makes your team worse. You don't need WR's you need RB's so trading one away for a WR that likely is your WR4 doesn't make sense to me.

Thanks for the reply! I forgot to add we start a QB, RB RB, WR WR, 2 flex spots and a D and K. So essentially I'd be starting 4 wr's and being that it's PPR that is the reason. I'd rather have QJ right now starting than Jamo and I've got Lamb coming back soon ( I hope).

I think it might be a good idea to put out some feelers about trading a WR for a RB. Not Johnston, obviously, because you don't have him yet and you want to be able to start him. I'm not sure you could get a good enough RB back to matter but maybe somebody still believes in Williams or Jennings. You could always try to find someone looking for WRs and offer both. I'm okay digging for WRs in a 10 team league even with the extra flex spot. The trade is good in terms of value but crazy as it sounds you can't afford to give up a kind of startable RB without replacing them with someone else.

Thank you! He ended up backing out of the trade and honestly I'm glad. As soon as I trade Charb, Walker will get hurt and I'll lose a for sure starter at RB.
