OK...what do you guys think about this trade:

I offered Todd Gurley and John Brown

In return I get Mike Evans and Gio Bernard


My rational is that I need major help at WR after Keenan Allen went down, and I'm betting that Gurley isnt' as good as last year because of the lack of passing game. Also, it's a PPR and Gio is great in the passing game. And Evans had 17 targets last week. Dude will lead the league in targets this year, I'm betting

I have Riddick, Tevan Coleman, and Blount as my other RB's. I know that's not a great backfield, but Riddick, Coleman, and Gio should be fantastic in PPR

Also, the owner owns Adrian Peterson and Doug Martin.. So he may be motivated

Good or no??

I think it's a pretty fair trade. However you have a serious lack of RBs that have the potential to explode any given week. I feel that all those RBs (unless Coleman starts full time) are rarely going to exceed 15-17 pts (I know Riddick did it already). But I don't think it's a bad trade for you in terms of value.

Agreed. I guess my rationale, is that if I load up on great WR's it will offset my backfield.

I'll just start 3 WR's if I have too. I have Randall Cobb, TY HIlton, Mike Evans, And FUller

I need 6 yards from Elliot after the two-minute warning to beat Gattaca...

I'm tired of playing the highest scoring team every week in the IE league. 0-3. My fantasy defense is Van Gorder like. Too soon?

Holy shit I escaped by the skin of my teeth.

I thought for sure that Zeke was going to find a hole against their short-yardage defense and finally break a big one.

Instead, I went out with a whimper on a negative play.

TWO Dallas running backs not named Elliot got goal-line carries for scores. Just one of those to Zeke and I'm 3-0. Or even just one check-down from Prescott! The dude takes off for 7 yards when he could check down to Elliot in the flat for 10+. Let's get in the film room and work that out for future fantasy matchups, Cowboys.

Yeah I thought you had it for sure. I was totally screwed until Luck hit Hilton for that late TD, otherwise it wouldn't have even been close.

I can haz a Gronk?

You're gonna have to sweeten the deal a bit for a Gronk.

EDIT: Just saw your counter. I'm gonna have to stew on that one. I was super proud of turning Riddick and Eifert into a Gronk.

I'm getting involved in this. Bidding war commence.

I've got some trade offers out to Insanity and Rhode that have been sitting there. Would appreciate you guys checking those out.

I don't know if I trust the Jets enough, especially with Marshall, Enunwa and Forte eating up production. That's an overall negative for me if I go from Kelce to Decker.

I can play Kelce and Gronk both in my lineup each week if Kelce keeps eating up targets.

I'd like to jump in on these trade negotiations but I ain't got shit you guys would want. I'm holding this ship together with duct tape and saran wrap.

I am actually surprised Yahoo thinks that deal is so bad for me. I think it is very even.

I agree. Fleener is kind of a hope-he-breaks-out, and Kelce/Baldwin is a net plus on a PPR basis over just Green.

Dawg you didn't even let me re-counter-counter. I was willing to pay a huge homer premium for Gronk.

I almost pulled the trigger, but I want to see Jones keep getting targets over the next couple of weeks, and Walker's hammie scares me.

I could totally see the Lions reversing course and featuring Tate now that everyone knows Marvin Jones is the truth.

I'll never say never on a Gronk trade, though.
