Trade OBJ + Forte and get Bell + Greg Olsen? (1 Viewer)

[mdsnj87]

12 team, non-ppr.  6 pts per td (passing, rush, receiving).  1 pt per 10 yard rec/rush, 1 pt per 25 yard passing.  At 8-1 I am a lock to make playoffs, but could secure a 1st round bye if I stay in the top spot.

I'm thinking we haven't seen the best of OBJ yet - but Forte has a bye week 11 and the jets are a dumpster fire (I'm a jets fan).  Slight hesitation about pairing Brown and Bell but think it's a pretty obvious upgrade here.  Plus - I'll be able to start Gore/Davante Adams/Coleman at Flex going forward (or Rawls/Starks if either pans out).

No brainer?  WWYD?  Please link to your own posts as I am happy to review them as the day goes on.  Thank you.

My team

QB - Brees

RB - Gore

RB - Ware

RB - Forte

WR - Antonio Brown

WR - AJ Green

RB/WR Flex - OBJ

TE - Fiedorwicz

K - Catanzaro

DST - Panthers

Bench - Rawls, Starks, Coleman, Davante Adams, Powell

I would do it.  It improves you at RB (Bell > Forte) and massively improves you at TE, and you've still got Brown and Green at WR so you're downgrading your flex for two upgrades.

I think it's a fairly easy accept.  I agree OBJ is going to finish strong but having Bell and Olsen solidifies two positions and you still have studly WR's to play

I would advise you to accept the trade.  Bell is an upgrade over Forte.  His ceiling is much higher and has not threat of becoming an RBBC.  Some weeks Forte will get less work because they decide to roll with Powell.  Your TE upgrade is enormous - you move to the #2 or #3 TE.  You do take a hit at flex, but you have some decent options and you if Forte does get hurt (remember he is 30 yrs old) then you will have Powell (though they added Spiller...).  Oh yeah, they added Spiller!  There is a chance he could take some 3rd down/passing work from Forte too.   Take the trade and hope Big Ben doesnt go down again.

I would accept the trade for all reasons mentioned above and ride that gold mine of a roster to a championship.
