I'm 0-2 and feel like I need to make something happen. Guy wants Jimmy and Antonio Brown (my flex starter) for Demarco Murray, Greg Jennings and Brandon Pettigrew. Id pair Demarco with McFadden, Jennings with Percy, and start either Stevie Johnson, BJGE, or Torrey Smith at Flex. Obviously, Pettigrew at TE.

Thoughts?

So you're regular lineup is:

McFadden, BJGE
Percy, Stevie
Graham
Brown/Smith

? I like that over

McFadden Murray
Jennings, Percy
Pettigrew
Stevie

I would probably start BJGE over Stevie at flex most weeks, but everything else looks right.

Would anybody's answer change if I was able to get AP rather than Demarco?

I wouldn't do the original. Jennings is having health issues. I had him last year, and while he is solid/reliable, he doesn't go crazy very often.

With AP over Demarco, it is more interesting. But, AP has only had two games since he's back. One crazy and one normal.

I don't think I'd trade Graham away. Consider him a stud wr1. Percy is a wr1 in PPR. Brown is a solid every week wr2 with upside.

BJGE is looking pretty solid. I was targeting him, but didn't pull the trigger in the early 4th round and he was gone by the end of the 5th.

I'd stay put if I were you. How are your point totals? Did you just get unlucky? BJGE should be a reliable rb2, DMC has explosive upside. Your wr's all seem solid. And graham is ridiculous. Yeah, stay put.

fricking this...he is no less valuable than the best of the best WRs...just because he is a TE doesn't mean his points count for less. He is one of the most consistent plays every single week.

Jennings is in a spread it out offense and will not score nearly what Graham will, Demarco is a ticking time bomb, AP is good but still recovering and still on a pretty average team that will likely need to throw a lot. STAY PUT

Basically, he wants to give you 2 mid-draft picks and a late-draft pick for a late first-round pick and Brown.


Before you make a knee jerk trade after two losses, it's safer to quantify the value of each player traded.

I might take it a little more seriously if it was AP Murray and Pettigrew, but that would probably deplete his bench.

No way you should be doing this trade. Jimmy is basically a top 5 WR in his own right, and brown is a stellar flex play. Besides, Murray is injury prone dating all the way back to college. Not my idea of a RB1.

Keep what you got buddy.
