Trade Mike Evans, Recieve Todd Gurley and Michael Crabtree (1 Viewer)

[briggssteel]

None of my back up running backs have worked out and as a third option, Kenneth Dixon or Ware are the best I've got left. My thought is I get a third back with upside in Gurley and receiver that is looking pretty darn good.  He's considering the trade. I should also mention he has Crowell and Doug Martin if that would be better. Any advice is appreciated.Standard league, 10 team, 1 Offensive Position spot, FAAB.

I'd stay put. Johnson has been fine and you could do worse at RB2 than Forte. Crabtree has been solid so far, but he's not going to get 3 TDs every week and they'll work to get Cooper more involved. I think I like your WR group of Evans, Landry, Diggs, and Cobb more than I would if you took out Evans and added Crabtree. Dixon sounds like he'll be heavily involved in the Ravens offense going forward, so he should help.

Well I'm worried about my RB depth as Dixon is no longer a sure thing with West and Ware is only valuable with Charles out. This way I get a potential top 10 back in Gurley and still get a solid receiver to replace Evans.

I would easily trade Evans for Gurley and Crabtree.  I think Gurley is the most valuable player in the deal and you get Crabtree for free.

Here's the question since this trade is starting to look more and more bleak for me, would you do any combination of these as I may be able to do the following, the last grouping for sure:

Crowell and Crabtree

Gurley and Maclin OR Steve Smith OR Jonathan Stewart. 

I offered Cobb OR Dixon with the trade and he said he wasn't interested in them. I think he's being short sighted on Dixon considering he has West. He'd be locking that backfield up.

I wouldn't do any of those recent combinations you mentioned. 

I think Evans for Gurley and Crabtree is the best deal. Idk how much it improves your team though. I'm still wary of Gurley and Crabtree could easily regress. But this could be my Mike Evans bias talking because I think he's going to be a monster this season.

I think he will be a monster as well. I told him I think I'm taking the risk because Evans you know will do well all year. Crabtree could just be on a heater and Gurley could never get it going. 

I initiated trade talks because I think I'm in a pretty bad spot with RBs. Johnson is the best in fantasy so I'm obviously good there. However, Forte could be regressing and may end up in a time share with Powell. Then Spencer Ware is now the back up and I'm left hoping Dixon wins the spot and lives up to the hype. No good choice for byes or if one back gets injured. With this trade I at worst have an RB2 in Gurley for my flex and I think I upgrade from Diggs with Crabtree.

This trade is a no go. Are the following trades worth it on my end:

Evans + Diggs for Gurley + Crabtree

Evans for Gurley + Maclin

Evans for Gurley + Steve Smith

Thanks in advance for any advice.
