Trade NE D for TJ Hockenson? (1 Viewer)

[kyoun1e]

Desperate OJ Howard owner looking for a TE upgrade. Looking to sell high on the NE D.

Hockenson isn't all world, but is widely considered a top 12 TE and his schedule looks TE friendly moving forward. 

As for the NE D, I hate giving them up, but they're going to run into some much tougher opponents in a couple weeks. In addition, I just picked up the Buffalo D who have a crazy easy schedule moving forward. The NYJ and PIT D is also out there and they could fill any gaps in the BUF D.

Get Hockenson? Or just stand pat and play the wire for dopes like Fells, Burton, etc (there is nothing out there).

Thanks

I own both TJ and NE in my lineup. One thing i noticed is that yes, NE will have a tougher schedule but they are still a top tier defensive team. 

I watched the Lions game closely on Monday and noticed that they targeted Golladay and k.johnson more than tj. It was due to Greenbay's defense, but If you could wait another week and see how he plays, then i would do that if not, wait till thursday and friday for the ESPN fantasy podcast to see their opinions. Do your research and weigh the pros and cons. If you feel like NE will score less than TJ in these upcoming weeks then make the trade. Also keep in mind Tj had a concussion already, so that is also concerning.

Final thought: do what you think is best for your team.

-watch espn podcast and see what they say about him on friday. 

-realize he had a concussion

-ask yourself will he be targeted a lot more on a heavy offensive Lions lineup in the future?
