Was offered Antonio Brown for Julio Jones + Jerick McKinnon. Would u do this deal? (1 Viewer)

I’m a little worried about Jones this year. He is being used as a glorified decoy. On the other hand he is still Julio Jones and I’m sure at some point (probably this week) will turn it around.  This is my roster at wr + rb

RB

1/ Fournette

2/ D.Martin

3/ C.Hyde

4/ R. Kelly

5/ L.Murray

WR

1/ A.J. Green

2/ J.Jones

3/ D.Parker

4/ A.Thielen

Thanks in advance. Will answer yours

I'd take Antonio. You have decent starters and reserves at RB and can certainly use the upgrade at WR.

I don't think it's an upgrade at WR, and if it is it's likely to be very small.  Using preseason ADP's, you're talking about moving from WR3 to WR1...the difference is negligible.  Not worth making the trade and losing McKinnon as RB depth.  

All it will take is Julio to start scoring some TDs (which is gonna happen, he isn't going scoreless all year), or Ben to continue struggling for a couple weeks, and we could easily see Julio outscore AB the rest of the way.

You didn't mention if this is PPR or standard. If it's PPR then I'd lean the Brown side a little more just because he gets more volume than Julio, but in standard I don't think it gives you any real benefit...

I don't have an issue with getting Brown in that deal.  McKinnon flashed last night because the Bears defense was on their 5th MLB.  He won't have another outing like that his year.  He is ok depth but easily replaceable.  So the bottom line comes down to Brown vs Julio.  I think Browns floor is the difference here and is why I would make that deal.
