So my friend came to me for advice on a trade and I'm stumped myself.

PPR 14-team

Roster:

QB:Winston
RB: Da. Johnson, Jamaal, Foster, DWill, Booker
WR: Cobb, Moncrief, Crabtree, Shepard, E. Rogers

Trade would be opponent's Julio for my friend's Moncrief, Crabtree and Charles. I advised him to then pick up McKinnon and Sharpe as FAs to fill the empty spots if he were to do this trade. So essentially the trade would be Julio/McKinnon/Sharpe for Charles/Moncrief/Crabtree.

Now in a vacuum I'd say go for it. Just worried that it would leave his RB depth so thin, especially when, not if, Foster gets banged up.

I'd say no. Would leave him too thin at RB and WR depth. I like Julio over Cobb, but Julio has a history of injuries. So I wouldn't want to firesale my team just to get Julio.

I would TRY to get a RB in the trade as well....just anyone who could maybe be serviceable.

But I may take Julio in that trade anyway.

Friend sent me the other guy's team. His RBs consist of Ingram, Matt Jones, and Henry

Try to get Henry.

I think he'll take over the primary role down the road and it seems like he will be goal line too.

Update #2:

He said guy agreed to throw in Henry. I'm still unsure about his RB depth after Foster tho.

This. Julio Jones dragged my arse from the grave to a championship with his performance against the Packers a couple years ago. The dude is arguably the best WR in the league right now.

Then I'd absolutely do it. Julio is one of the premier fantasy studs.

I have no idea, not my league. I don't even know the other guy. My guess after seeing his team is he's going off of name recognition for Jamaal and trying to add more depth to his team.

Do this trade. Henry will provide ample RB depth in a 14team PPR. Your friend will have a much improved team.

I traded for Julio in my 12 team PPR.

Sent Alshon Jeffrey and Zach Ertz for him.

That's a pretty steep price but if he throws in Henry I'd go for it.
