Melvin Gordon sell high?

Everyone said that the past two weeks, then he goes off. What says the FSB?
I could probably get Amari Cooper (Crabtree is my best WR) and upgrade my TE from Barnidge to Jordan Reed by dealing him.

If you're gonna sell him, you need to be getting like Mike Evans or aj green. Cooper isn't selling Gordon high

People keep saying he's gonna fall off or get shut down but week in and week out, the dude just balls. Yeah, his YPC might suck but in that redzone, he gets the ball. I'm undefeated in one league thanks to him, Elliott and Ware and I wouldn't trade him for anything short of Rob Gronkowski at TE.

SD is unlikely to continue to get within 3 yards before scoring so frequently. 8 of his TD's have come within 3 yards (4 from the 1). I do not see the frequency of his short TD opportunities continuing for the entire season.
He has been doing better in the passing game and if SD spreads it out and uses him more as a receiver instead of running him so much, the offense would be better. They just mentioned today about perhaps cutting back on his touches also.

If Crabtree is your best WR, you may be smart to move him, but not for Cooper. It also depends a lot on your other RBs. He's a sell high to me in that I doubt he finishes as a top 3 RB (vurrently #3 in ESPN Standard) but I think he certainly has potential to stay in the top 5-10 range. So if you are looking to sell him high, you better sell him really high.

Having Cooper and Crabtree would be a pretty nasty WR stack I'd try to make that happen if I were you.

Cooper and Reed for Gordon? I'd do it
He's the most TD dependent back at 43% of his points. He's a RB2 in RB1 clothing. I know they had Woodhead last year but Gordon didn't score a TD last season. There's a correction coming I'm thinking
I own Gordon in 2/5 leagues, not hating just being realistic. He's still valuable but there is a sell high element there

No shite
Think these dudes are talking about Riley cooper bc amari is a solid WR1
I think mike Evans would get you laughed out the room. AJ Green, maybe

Yea, he may become Ryan Mathews very soon

Depends on your running back situation.

Honestly, I just disagree with this statement. Go back and look at this year, and Crabtree and Cooper have only both produced double digits in the same week twice (standard scoring). Not that they're not both valuable, because they certainly are, but they aren't both producing together consistently to where I'd be comfortable rolling them out there as my WR1 and WR2 each week; which would be the situation if you did this trade.
As I said above, selling high on Gordon is not a bad move right now, because I expect he will regress a bit, but he's a bonafide RB2 ROS and certainly has RB1 to elite level upside.
It depends on your roster as to who you should target in a trade, but getting Reed (who is a breath away from a concussion at all times) and Cooper for Gordon isn't enough if it were me.
I think Gordon is a hold, because unless you can either get a guy on the AJ Green level or a lower end WR1 plus an RB2, it's not worth it.

Naw son, AJ Green is number 2 in ppr right now and a few points behind Julio.

It's funny that you only singled out AJ Green
PPR PPG:
Evans 21.3
Julio 20.9
Green 20.9

I got Green on my squad. Didn't realize Mike had a bye, my bad. I'm not swapping any of those guys for Gordon.

Op said sell high. Not trade for reasonable value
Posted on 10/25/16 at 1:34 pm to man117
Just wanted to point out that both those names are absurd targets for Gordon. Evans is the #1 PPR WR so far.
Posted on 10/25/16 at 1:37 pm to monkeybutt
Top 3 RB for a top 3 WR not fair?
Posted on 10/25/16 at 1:40 pm to seawolf06
I got Lamar Miller and Tyrell for him 2 weeks ago. Houston schedule is favorable rest of season.

The question was if he should sell high. This would be selling high. Trading him for like the #8 WR or something like that would just be trading him for normal value.
