Thanks you 3 on the advice to go all in for my faab on Njoku in my dynasty league. I still think you all were right to bet it all.

I do have to say that njoku, Texans defense and St brown (GB) were the only players to get bids. Texans Def got bids of 27, 1 & 1 while st brown had a bid for 57 and njoku only other bid besides my 285 was...1. If I don’t bid st brown goes for $56 more than njoku and Texans D goes for $26 more. Bunch of idiots I play with.

Who's the more interesting lotto ticket between Ekeler and Jaylen Samuels with his TE eligibility? Deep stash here for playoffs.

Has to be Samuels. You must play on Yahoo.

LOOK OUT GUYS!
WE HAVE A 10 TRADE TRADE GURU ON OUR HANDS!!

just had another trade with the same guy who offered T Hill and S Mitchel for M Ingram/C ridley. this time he offered M Gordon and Corey Davis for Juju SS and David Johnson.

thought it was reasonable down the middle but I accepted. Davis trending the right way, melvin should stay melvin. Johnson going to do good down the stretch likely and JJSS is pry top 15 wr but i liked it. think Gordons production is the separating factor.

It’s low for me, far short of my record of 23.

I can vouch for Gaddy. In about 90% of the leagues I am in, I trade far more than anyone. In fact, in one league I eventually quit, the commish put in a rule that maximized number of moves in the league when someone complained that I traded too much.

In the one league I was in with him, Gaddy accused me of not wanting to trade.

Need PPR trade advice. We are both in playoff contention, and I'm pretty much a lock to make it at 7-3. He's 5-5, and needs to win down the stretch to get in.

My Team:

Rivers, Goff
DJ, Chubb, Michel, Barber, Thompson
OBJ, Tyreek, Fitzgerald, Baldwin, Snead
Ertz, OJ


His Team:

Brees, Cousins
Barkley, Mixon, Dalvin Cook, Mack, Martin
Diggs, B. Cooks, Landry, Jeffery, Boyd
Kittle, Everett

My friend says he wants a bonafide WR, lol. He's offered Mixon and Diggs for OBJ. I think that's decently fair. I might counter with Cook and Cooks for OBJ.

But I'm just not sure how I feel about it. Do I really need to take a downgrade at WR to upgrade at RB? I feel pretty good about DJ, Chubb, and Michel. Barber and Thompson are trash.

What do y'all think? He says he would also be interested in Tyreek, but I'm not trading Tyreek.

Starting positions?
2/2/1? 3/2/1?

I guess I can say (as long as they are all starting) Cook+Cooks>Mixon+Diggs>OBJ

So all should be good, unless your set up is something pretty strange.

Not sure I wouldn't prefer Cooks for OBJ straight up, given the Kupp injury, team script (NYG are pretty well playing to lose etc...)
However, OBJ can get you more than Cooks, so try that.

I would offer OBJ+(Barber or Thompson) for his Cooks + (Cook or Mixon) and take whatever he chooses.

Starting positions are 2/2/1.

So if I took 2 for one, one of Chubb or Michel would be left out each week.

If I did the trade, depending on who I got, my lineup would be

QB
DJ
Mixon/Cook
Reek
Cooks/Diggs
Ertz
Chubb/Michel
Def
K

As opposed to

QB
DJ
Chubb
Reek
OBJ
Ertz
Michel
Def
K

I think I might still prefer Diggs to Cooks, even with the Kupp injury. But I'm more bullish on Diggs than most.

The main question is do I like Mixon or Cook more. Is Cook going to be able to stay healthy?

They both have decently juicy schedules. Cook gets Chi this week, but then it's

GB
NE
Sea
Mia
Det

All 5 of those teams are in the bottom half of the league for rushing yards allowed per game, with NE being 16th.

Mixon gets Balt this week, and then it goes

Clev
Den
LAC
Oak
Clev

All 5 of those teams are in the bottom half of the league in rushing yards allowed per game, with LAC being the best at 17.

I do have Mixon in another league, so another reason I'm leaning Cook. Plus, Minn's offense is better. But do I want to start both Diggs and Cook each week?

if u get Dalvin Cook and B cooks for OBJ u snap accept imo. Dalvin, sure there is a big question mark but I think his upside is still pretty good and w/o looking his playoff schedule is superb. The separation b/w OBJ and Cooks isn't that much, 10 points total in standard scoring, that is exactly 10 yards per game, I don't see that changing much at all. I would think OBJ has a little more raw talent but when u consider Eli and Goff, I think at this point it is hard not to side with Goff. One of OBJ's biggest assets could be garbage time. OBJ is more sporadic and gets banged up some as well. Cooks, straight shooter, 16 games played in three straight seasons, 1k yards in each, goes and plays the game this year he is basically on pace for career numbers in receptions and yards

Cooks>diggs ROS in most projections, they are very similar. Diggs seems to get banged up a little more and a little less league experience.

So it seems the consensus is that Cook > Mixon and Cooks > Diggs

I might not be able to get Cooks. The funny thing is that before the season started, I traded my friend Cooks and Penny for Ajayi and Stills.

I think I lost that one.

My friend started with Mixon for OBJ. I said no thanks.

He then took it to Mixon and Landry for OBJ. I said no thinks.

Then he went Mixon and Diggs for OBJ. I said I'll think about it.

Another thing is that right now, I'm starting Barber or Thompson (likely not playing) this week with Chubb and Michel on bye. Getting Mixon or Cook, even with the bad match ups, would be a big help this week.

I'm thinking Cook might get more catches out of the backfield than Mixon, so that should help in PPR. And I think they are both just as likely to score a TD.

I think I'm going to counter with OBJ for Cook and Cooks. If he rejects, I'll go OBJ for Cook and Diggs. If he rejects, I'll ask for Mixon and Cooks for OBJ. If he rejects, I guess I'll settle for his most recent offer of Mixon and Diggs for OBJ.

Do we think Murray is pretty much out of the picture with Cook back at full strength? I'd be annoyed if there was still somewhat of a split there. Although, I guess Gio will take a little bit from Mixon.

I definitely like Mixon better than Cook. I’d probably give Cooks a slight edge on Diggs just because Rams.

I feel so conflicted.

+1 on Mixon over Cook. Diggs vs Cooks is close enough not to matter much imo.

Latavius is doing pretty well this year not? I can't see him getting completely phased out. Think Mixon has the edge over Cook because he will see more of a workload. Mixon will definitely be playing a way higher percentage of plays compared to Cook ROS if I had to guess, at least a fair amount larger. Cook has the edge for matchups + team strength. opportunities, if you're team drives the ball well you have better chances of scoring as a player, who would have thought it? In the end, Mixon is projected to do reasonably better than Dalvin from what I have saw and assume will happen.

what'd u guys think about this trade? M Gordon and Corey Davis for Juju SS and David Johnson

Why do you guys like Mixon over Cook? Injury history? Murray vs Gio as the second RB in those backfields? Mixon appeared on the injury report today.

ETA: Posted before seeing P2's post. Thanks.

So then Mixon and Diggs for OBJ seems pretty fair? And definitely feels like an upgrade for my team given my depth.

Regarding Gordon trade, probably worthwhile. Selling high on Corey, and I think it’s a big upgrade to JuJu. Difference between Gordon and DJ might not be as large with DJ’s usage looking better.

I think I like the Gordon side of the trade. I like DJ, but Gordon is quite a bit ahead of him simply because the LAC offense is so much better. The last two weeks have been pretty encouraging for DJ, though.

But JuJu is definitely > than Corey.

I'm just not sure the upgrade of Juju over Corey is greater than the downgrade from Gordon to DJ.

12 team PPR 2RB/3WR/FLEX

Have:
Conner/DJ/A Jones/Breida/Barber/Ware
Tyreek/M Jones/Parker/Tyrell Will/LaFell/Ross

Shipping Breida for Corey Davis is a no brainer?

Seems like a no brainer, especially in a 3WR format. You are so thin behind Tyreek, especially with the Jones injury. You can roll out Conner and DJ and then A. Jones in the flex.
