Trade for Kamara? (1 Viewer)

[abosweiler]

PPR. 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 2FLEX

QB: Wilson, Stafford (for wilson's bye, Staff @ NO)

RB: McCoy, Buck, Riddick, Henry

WR: OBJ, Hopkins, Coop, Benjamin, Thielen (I usually start 4 WRs: 2 @ WR and 2 @ FLEX)

TE: Kelce

Owner with Kamara is hurting at WR and okay at RB. He has:

RB: Bell, Gordon, Duke, Kamara

WR: Baldwin, Parker, Maclin, JJ Nelson

Would losing Benjamin or Thielen be worth it to get Kamara? If so, who? My mindset is that I would start Kamara at RB2 more often than not over Buck/Riddick/Henry and I would only be giving up a bench WR for a starting RB2.

Thoughts? Will help in return!

I would for Benjamin. He is too unpredictable. I would wait on Thielen because when Bradford comes back he becomes atleast a WR2. But I could see doing either because of your need at RB and you are loaded at WR.

This is a tough call. It's been said that Payton loves Kamara. But what he does with his RBs isn't exactly the most logical. Mark Ingram was far superior to Tim Hightower but last year he would still give Hightower the ball way more than he should have. This year he acquires Adrian Peterson and does the same thing. He's got too many RBs to keep happy. Kamara's ability to be used in the passing game, which is the Saints strength, works in his favor. He isn't seeing a ton of reps on the field, and it's only a matter of time before the defense realizes that when Kamara is out there, he's going to get the ball. I would explore other teams who may be in need of a WR with a higher floor and more secure situation than Kamara.

Looking at your roster, I think Benjamin for Kamara would be a decent move. I agree you would likely use him most often as RB2 unles Henry gets to take over the starting gig due to injury...

I agree but am somewhat hesitant.  Like Tommy said above, there's no promise that Kamara will continue to be as featured as he has been.  Of course, Benjamin is iffy as well, so if you make the move, make it with him. 

Given your roster, it's a close call but I make the move.  But only with Benjamin.

I concur, I'd give Benjamin but not Thielen.

I believe Kamara fits what Payton is looking for regardless of others evaluation of talent.

I echo the Kamara for Benjamin supporters
