Would appreciate your guys thoughts on this trade that just happened. Being 2-7 I'm pretty removed from the league so I do not care, but some of the other teams are pretty pissed and calling collusion. The main beneficiary of this trade has a ridiculous team now.

2-7 team trades Christian McCaffery to a 7-2 team for Jarvis Landry, Isiah Crowell and John Brown. What do y'all think?

It is my opinion that if the 2-7 team had 4-5 wins, he doesn't make this trade.

Hard to give an accurate assessment either way without knowing their teams. Just by the numbers, the trade isn't bad. That's with the assumption that the 2-7 team has ok running backs and desperately needs receivers.

If his receivers are good, and Landry is a WR3+, then I would be a little concerned.

This coming from a 3 win team who was strongly considering trading Melvin Gordon for some kind of Diggs + Jeffrey combo just to salvage something out of the season. I talked myself off the ledge and managed to get a Mack for Jeffrey trade I think.

eh....this trade is unfair imo. Person receiving CMC wins this all day everyday.....but it depends on the players on each team

Might have to throw in Aaron Jones now but I just sent it

I wouldn't throw in Jones. Honestly, I'm not sure Bell will have a very big impact after missing so much time. He has a real nice playoff schedule though.

Thanks for the input y'all. Turns out after some investigating, the guy who traded McCaffery was just high. It was a fair trade, although pretty lopsided IMO. The guy who has McCaffery now has by far the best team. He threw out a bogus trade of 3 bench guys and came away with a bonafide PPR stud.

Tight ends suck...

Jared Cook or Jack Doyle?

Doyle, all day. He might end up being one of the better ones down the stretch.

Trade my Dion Lewis and Burton for his Bell and Njoku?

Bell deadline is coming up and it might be worth the risk.

My other RBs are Melvin Gordon, Tevin Coleman, Aaron Jones, Ito Smith.

I also have OJ Howard. Plus Shaheen is coming back so Burton might be getting less balls thrown to him.

If you haven't done this trade yet I would hold off, it is looking like Bell may sit out the rest of the year

I'm debating making an offer to trade Cooks for JuJu. Love Juju's schedule. Cooks looks like they might have a lot of games where Goff won't be passing. Thoughts?

I'd hang on to Cooks, i think you might be over-thinking it a tad.

Cooks is (probably) the better talent, on a definitive better offense.

It's a wash for me honestly. I have JuJu and he has been really consistent. Cooks has the better Qb though. Big Ben kinda sucks.

Mixon, Michel (if he plays)
Edelman
Kittle (Why 3 TEs? I'd try to trade one, but you'll need Engram next week)
Probably Boyd in the Flex.

I like kittle more than Gronk at this point. Gronk just can't seem to get healthy.
