I would try to get Thomas.

Second year and the guy is gonna kill it.

That's what I'm thinking. I just traded for him in exchange for Randall Cobb and Dennis Pitta. I know I paid a premium for him, but in our league we can keep 2 players, based off of when they were drafted (minus 1 round), and keeping him next year will only cost me a 12th round pick, to go along with Alshon Jeffrey counting as an 11th round pick.

My team after the trade:
12 team, 1 point PPR, 4 pt QB TDs.

Drafted 1st in a snake draft, round #s in ():

(8)Matt Ryan
(1)Jamaal Charles
(3)Andre Ellington
(12)Alshon Jeffery
(2)Randall Cobb GONE
(9)Dennis Pitta GONE FOR JULIUS THOMAS
(5)Kendall Wright
Texans DROPPED, no replacement picked yet
Nick Novak

Bench:
(4)Joique Bell
(6)Pierre Thomas
(7)Sammy Watkins
(10)Terrance West
(11)Jarrett Boykin DROPPED FOR KELVIN BENJAMIN AFTER THE JULIUS THOMAS TRADE
(13)Knile Davis
Justin Hunter FA pickup after dropping Texans D/ST

Hope it doesn't bite me in the arse, but I feel like I have good WR and RB depth and may be able to trade for another WR if needed from my bench depth later in the season.
