Who to offer for Josh Allen? (1 Viewer)

The one big hole in my team is QB (drafted with ARich; then had Dak; now have Darnold). Darnold doesn't fill me with confidence for a playoff push. I have depth at RB, WR, and TE. The team with Josh Allen (has Cousins as backup) needs help at RB, WR, and TE. What's a good starting offer?

This is 10-team redraft PPR. Start QB, 2 RBs, 2 WRs, TE, R/W/T flex, K, DST. I clawed my way back to 5-5 after being 2-5 and am currently in playoff position (4th) with the highest points scored in the league. My team is:

QB: Darnold
RB: CMC, Achane, Jacobs, Chase Brown, Hunt, Mason
WR: Jamar Chase, Lamb, Kupp, Waddle, Dell, Cooper
TE: Bowers, Andrews

Other guy has:

QB: Allen, Cousins
RB: Dobbins, Dowdle, Pacheco, Mattison, Mostert
WR: McConkey, Hopkins, K Allen, Dionte Johnson, Jam Williams
TE: Kincaid

A week ago Lamb for Allen straight up would've seemed like massive overpay. Is it underpay now? Could throw in Hunt so he has KC running game locked up.

Or Jacobs + Andrews? Kupp + Hunt?

It seems like there are a number of things I can offer that look appealing. Of course he may not even be open to trading Allen at all.

Only other possible QB trade partner is the owner with Hurts and Purdy. They're an 8-2 without any obvious holes in the starting lineup. But they're RB and WR depth isn't great, and maybe they'd rather have one of those instead of Purdy (who will likely never start for them). I'd offer a lot less for Purdy than Allen.

I'll answer in response if you have anything. Thanks!
 
I'm not sure he'd even have accepted Lamb for Alllen. My thoughts are that he might jump at a Andrews + WR package. CMC (I know you don't want to trade him) might have the most "value"

although I think Purdy is a fine QB and you can likely have him cheaper than Allen so I'd ask there.
 
Offer Lamb for him. Have a RB you plan on adding into the trade ready. If he accepts enjoy. If not counter with Lamb and the RB. If he declines he isn’t gonna make the trade move onto the Lamar owner and blow him away with an overpay. You have the depth to overpay. Lose a trade to improve the team.

PS…if none of the big guys work I’d just make a nice offer to the Baker owner and sit back and enjoy the playoff run with Evans back.
