Being offered Calvin ridley straight up for DK metcalf.
Go or no go?
Go or no go?
So let me put this out there as well. I also have Julio Jones AND Matt Ryan in that league.Sounds like a lateral move. Both have the ability to finish top 10. Who do you got ranked higher? I personally want Ridley more than Metcalf, mostly because the Falcons have the most vacated targets from last season and they throw the ball a ton. But Metcalf is a straight stud.
Moves like these never make sense to me though. I usually trade RB for WR or WR for RB etc. I might go stud WR and lesser RB for stud RB and lesser WR, but that's it.

WR2 Theory: Hello!! Anybody Home?
Knock! Knock! Knock! Hello!! Anyone home? New WR2 Theory here…. Oh no!!! Not another fantasy football theory… It’s a game…it shouldn’t have theories… Hi!! Hi!! I see you in t…nimblewnumbers.com
Not to mention the added risk of multiple players from one team catching COVID. You'd be absolutely fucked.I'm with IJPH. If you didn't have Julio, I'd say accept it. But you don't want to double up Julio/Calvin. Could be great some weeks, but if they have a dud you're fucked
With Fantasy I like taking big swings. The 'diversified, high floor' players are nice, but typically leave you getting in the playoffs, but not winning.Not to mention the added risk of multiple players from one team catching COVID. You'd be absolutely fucked.
I'd agree if metcalf wasn't also a boom bust guy tied to a better and more efficient qb with limited options. It's pretty much just metcalf and lockett in Seattle. And I believe metcalf led or was near the top of the league in end zone attempts last season.With Fantasy I like taking big swings.

This strategy absolutely has some boom/bust to it, but if it hits you'll win 1/2 your games on that stack alone.
Yep. Got a Wilson/Lockett/Metcalf stack going in DFS this week.I'd agree if metcalf wasn't also a boom bust guy tied to a better and more efficient qb with limited options.

Was thinking of the same thing LMAO. That's a great game for stacking IMO.Yep. Got a Wilson/Lockett/Metcalf stack going in DFS this week.
OBJ + L. Fournette
Vs
A. Miller + M. Ingram
Ugh. I guess I'd rather have OBJ's upside. Ingram didn't look very good the couple times I saw him. Admittingly, they were blowing the doors off the Browns and didn't need to use him much, but it's fairly concerning Dobbins was getting the goal line work. OBJ at least still seeing targets, albeit uncatchable ones. We might have to start coming to terms that OBJ isn't that guy anymore. Of course, the Ravens DBs are really freaking good, but it just looked like the same shit from last season.OBJ + L. Fournette
Vs
A. Miller + M. Ingram
I guess a good point to make is my WR class is currently: hopkins(8), Metcalf(6), Lockette(6), Cupp(9), Ruggs(6) and OBJ(9). While my running backs are Mack(out), Montgomery, Hines and Fournette.I am not sure I see the upside on either side of that trade.
If you are getting OBJ, the upside is they trade him to a team that has a QB I suppose, and that fournette becomes serviceable somehow.
If that is what you are giving, then you are praying that AntMill has shoulders this season.
I think you can get more for OBJ. Maybe someone's down on Ekeler (I'm not big on him this season, but I'd take him for OBJ). Or maybe work a deal where you get Dobbins and Dobbins seems like the toss in. It's one of my favorite moves. Trade a big name for a decent name, then have them throw in the sleeper you really want to "even" the deal. Something like Le'Veon Bell/Dobbins for OBJ as an example. Maybe not that exact deal, maybe more along the lines of a Connor/Dobbins or Carson/Dobbins and then "up" the deal with Fournette if they balk.I guess a good point to make is my WR class is currently: hopkins(8), Metcalf(6), Lockette(6), Cupp(9), Ruggs(6) and OBJ(9).

I feel the upgrade to Ingram for LF is worth it but also I can hold on and flip OBJ elsewhere for better
I think you're selling OBJ/Fournette to low. I would sit on both of them. Easy to freak out after week 1, but I would hold for at least 4 weeks.OBJ + L. Fournette

A. Miller + M. Ingram
If I could sell Fournette, I probably would take what I could get. I think that backfield ends up being an unusable mess. Maybe I get burned, but I'd rather let that be someone else's problem.I think you're selling OBJ/Fournette to low. I would sit on both of them.

To me, you're giving up some high upside guys (OBJ/Fournette) for a couple of guys that have a pretty low floor.
