Looking for trade advice in non-PPR league, trade deadline is 11/10...
This league is 2 QB, 2 WR, 2 RB, 1 TE, 2 Flex.
WR: Adam Thielen, Michael Thomas, Mike Evans, Robert Woods, Julian Edelman
RB: McCaffrey, White, Carson
TE: Cook, Engram
My depth at WR is definitely going to help me the next couple of weeks with players on byes (Thielen this week, Edelman in week 11, and Woods in week 12). I'm 5-4 and need every win I can get. But I'm still thinking the logical thing to do here is trade a WR for a TE before the deadline, otherwise I'm going to have to watch Edelman score 10-15 points every week on the bench down the stretch...
I tried offering Evans for Kelce, and was turned down, the guy said he wanted Michael Thomas for Kelce, and I thought that was just a little too much. What do you guys think about that?
OK, so I had another thought. I saw on one guy's team he has both Olsen and Ertz. The rest of his team looks like this:
WR: Tyreek Hill, Marvin Jones, Randall Cobb
RB: Gurley, Tevin Coleman, Tarik Cohen, Dion Lewis, Lamar Miller
TE: Ertz, Olsen
So I figure he certainly needs help at WR. I offered him 2 separate trades earlier today: Edelman for Ertz, and Woods for Ertz. I have not heard back from him yet.
My question is: If he doesn't accept either trade, then I might go one step further and offer Evans for Ertz. Is that giving up too much?
Another thing to note here is that my toughest weeks in terms of opponents are 11, 13, and then obviously 15 and 16 (playoffs, if I make it). In those weeks, Evans has his toughest matchups: Giants, Panthers, Ravens, and Cowboys, respectively. Looking at that schedule, especially the playoffs, I actually started to think I'd almost rather have Woods than Evans (almost).
Thanks in advance for everyone's input, and aside from my questions re: Thomas-for-Kelce and Evans/Edelman/Woods-for-Ertz, if you can think of any other moves I can make to fix my TE woes I am all ears. Thanks!
Mixon vs New Orleans
Howard vs Detroit
Mack vs Jacksonville
Chubb vs Atlanta
Mixon has a tough matchup, but no Green could help
Chicago should handle Detroit, so Howard could get more run
Mack at home and favored to win
Game could get away from the Browns, and that would work against Chubb even in a good matchup
He's been under 10 points more times this year (3) than he's been over 20 (2) in standard leagues and he has found the end zone just once in his past 5 games.
If I owned Ertz I would not trade him for Evans.
But I'd definitely try it if I were you, worst case is he rejects it, best case he counters with something reasonable.
Same, those RBs are just fine. Upgrade the TE if possible, the difference between Ertz and Cook/Engram is massive.
When I woke up I saw that Brown lost 4 yards for 16 points and Connor is in Concussion protocol. NUTS...
With Bell back next week, Connor out comes at the worst time. Please be cleared very soon Connor..

I had Conner and McCaffrey going. After the first quarter I thought my contest would be a laugher. McCaffrey wound up with a great game, but Conner getting the concussion probably took away 10 - 15 points from his total.
Still probably be a W, but I might sweat a little.
Hope Conner is back next week and the rest helps him otherwise it solidly opens the door for Bell to obsolete Conner if that door wasn't already open.
Not the end of the world on that team. My RB's are Barkley, McCaffrey, Conner, and Cook but I'd rather he keep his lead back status.
His TEs aren't great, but if he's trading away WR depth he would be better served getting another RB than a TE.
Just so happens I'm crushing that league.
I need a WR though.
It's also 4 pt per passing TD, which I think doesn't make sense either. I prefer 6pt per passing TD since it's more like football where your QB is the most valuable player on your team. I think it's incongruous to have a QB get 2 pts for a 2-pt conversion but 4 for a TD pass.
and that league also has -2 for a INT which I don't think makes sense if you're only going to have 4pts per passing TD.
But what happens in that league is teams overdraft QB's which helps me.

Thanks so much

Mack and Lewis for me
Wentz. It will always be Wentz no matter the matchup between those two.
That's how most people who do auction drafts feel about snake drafts.
I prefer non-PPR leagues. Logically, a 2-yard reception should not be worth .5-1 fantasy point more than a 2 yard run.
I think a better system would be a "point per first down," rewarding players that help extend drives, rather than just for making a catch. A catch could even be a negative play, I've never thought that was a good measure for scoring.

Obviously if Mack plays he should be in your lineup. Being that it's a PPR leaugue, Dion Lewis should get the other spot, but I would give Howard the slight edge in standard.

I don't know why people do those.

I've thought about going to the point per first down scoring instead of PPR as well. It does feel like a better reward for in game impact. Be interesting to see what it would do to scoring to go from a full PPR to a full PPFD, or to go to .5 for each.
I think a point per first down would maybe be more equitable.
You can go a whole game against a RB like Kamara and see wow he's got 2 catches and 40 yards rushing he was held in check and then he gets 6 catches for 60 yards in the last drive on dump offs and that's and 18 point day (when he has a bad day).
Look at Barkley's #'s, in PPR he has been below 20 pts once all year in my PPR league.
I like PPR for the same reasons I think it's inequitable - because I try and get those players who benefit the most from that system.
I’m guessing you’re referring to ppr here. In non-ppr there is a material difference... Kelce has 110 pts and Ertz has 80 pts
His TEs aren't great, but if he's trading away WR depth he would be better served getting another RB than a TE.
“Could start 4 RBs”... Woods has more points than Mixon, David Johnson, Crowell... why would I want to start 4 RBs when my WRs are producing like 12/13 points per game average? I’m not going to be able to get anything better than Mixon or Johnson AND be able to fill my TE hole. I think it’s clear TE is what I need to address more so than RB. I need a TE no matter what, the way I see it it’s the opposite- I don’t have to start more than 2 RBs if I don’t want to (as opposed to thinking I “could be starting” 4 RBs).

it's not horrible, but he's in a non-PPR where he could start 4 RBs. He's only got 3 on the roster. Carson is already likely out this week and is a big time injury risk going forward. White's value will take a hit from it's peak of the last 2 weeks with Michel back and Burkhead on the way. He needs TDs to hit double digits in a non-PPR and Michel will definitely eat into that again.

Woods 11.3 PPG in a non-PPR.
Mixon is averaging 15.4.
DJ is averaging 12.
No one in their right mind would argue for Crowell, so no idea why you would bring him up.
My team:
QB: Wentz, Fitzmagic
RB: Gordon III, McCaffrey, Ekeler, R. Freeman, D. Freeman (IR), D. Foreman (PUP)
WR: Beckum, J. Gordon, Golloday, D. Thomas, J. Brown, D. Parker
TE: Graham, Engram
I'm 5-4, and I need a stronger FLEX play, so I have my eye on trying to deal for a RB, cause if one of my top RB's goes down I could be in trouble.
One 6-3 team is absolutely stacked at RB.
He has Zeke, J. White, Chubb, D. Cook, S. Michel, G. Bernard, D. Booker
He will deal anyone except Zeke and Cook.
He's a little weaker at WR, where he could use more depth
He has T. Hill, A Jeffrey, Amendola, Stills, Allison (IR)
I've been speaking with him about moving Golloday possibly for a RB.
I like Chubb cause he can be kept, and the Browns appear committed to him after trading away Hyde. I also like White as a hedge (and keeper purposes) and would love to put a deal together to get both.
The question is, is Golloday for Chubb a good move for me?
And what package can I put together to entice him to include White.
Other wildcard is I'm speaking with another owner about Fournette and him tossing in a young keeper like Sutton or Moore... is Fournette buyer beware, or way better than Chubb? Fournette cannot be kept.
Owner wants Golloday and swap of a pick in the 3-5 round range... which I think is kinda steep, but curious to others thoughts.

I think Chubb is the best of the three right now for next season. Fournette is by far the best if healthy but the guy is never healthy. Golladay is worthless.
