10tm start 13 2QB PPR format, I’m a top-3 contender this year (and beyond) with the other two top teams being pretty stacked as well.

Give: Puka, Rachaad White, late 24 2nd
Get: Christian Watson, Ekeler

Rest of relevant roster:
Javonte Williams, Saquan Barkley, JK, Kendre, Hunt, Gus Edwards, J Ford, Samaje Perine, Rico Dowdle / Chase, Ceedee, ARSB, Olave, Nico Collins, Bourne, Metchie, QJ, Marvin Mims

Thoughts?

My initial trade offer was sending Nico Collins + an extra pick on top but he countered for Puka

Yeah I would take that. Ekeler short term value and You have long term value with watson.

That is not the roster of a top 3 contending team in a 10 team dynasty league unless you’re rostering a top 3 TE and some studs at QB (Allen, Mahomes, Hurts, Lawrence, Kirk, Burrow, etc)

My advice? Do not trade for a RB in week 4 if you don’t have to. Puka’s value can go down, but he probably needs 2 consecutive bad weeks for it to happen. teams will be selling later in the season to position themselves for a top 3 pick.

Meanwhile I just sold Tank Dell for Brian Robinson straight up, so I don’t even follow my own advice

Hell no. You can pry Puka from my cold dead hands in dynasty right now.

Burrow, Goff, Dak

Pitts, LaPorta, Kmet

I’m in the league and yes it’s top 3 you goon

Probably best WR room, maybe best TE room, serviceable at QB & RB in this format which is why I’m considering the deal for Ekeler as a 1 year bet for points

Don’t trade for a RB yet. I’m sure there a few 0-3 and 1-2 teams that are a few weeks away from throwing in the towel

I personally think that Christian Watson is a better dynasty asset than Puka. Puka is just a target monster right now and Kupp will come back eventually and steal alot of that away. Stafford is also getting up there in age. Watson is just an absolute freak who has all the physical tools to be a top wr and popped off at the end of last year. He also has a young qb that has looked good early in the season. Rachaad white is nothing special and I believe he eventually becomes a committee back. Ekeler helps you win now for the next 2 or so years. I would take that trade whether I was contending this year or not.

Was able to turn it into White, Puka, 24 3rd & 4th for Ekeler & Watson.

Thanks for the confirmation Mpd

Technically just swapping/upgrading an RB. I still have some capital to spend if this blows up in my face but feel like I need to move Puka now if I plan on moving him at all.

I have Puka in another rebuild league that I’ll probably just hold for the ride

You have to be legally insane to trade Puka in dynasty right now. This guy will be the best receiver in the NFL in 2025.

Shameless bump, no pun intended

This trade right here is how you fail miserably in dynasty.

Well he won’t be the best WR in 2025, but he’s fricking elite

This is not an attempt to crap on OP, I think the trade was reasonable at the time (I've certainly seen worse)

But this just goes to show why win now dynasty trades can be dangerous. Not only did OP exchange younger assets for older assets, the younger assets DRASTICALLY outscored the older assets.

It's tough to predict production. Age is the one stat that requires zero prediction- we know what it will be at all times.
