He's slotted as my WR2 right now but I'm not sure if I should look for another option. I think he has a lot of potential playing with Luck, but he's 34. I have Dez at WR1 and Charles/Forsett as my starting backs

Would you package Forsett/Johnson for Julio?

Guy with Julio has Gurley (out) Gio and Crowell as his RB2 options

This would put two of Ivory/Yeldon/Blue into my starting lineup

He'd be a good WR3 I'd probably want to do a little better at WR2 though.

If you can get Julio for Forsett and Johnson I would do that. I would rather start Charles/Dez/Julio/Ivory over Charles/Dez/Johnson/Forsett.

With that said I don't have a problem with A Johnson as a WR2

I think you'd be giving up too much in Forsett/Johnson


Johnson is a solid WR2, Forsett is a RB1 in a PPR

I'd stick with what you have, especially if this is ppr

It's 0.2 ppr

I offered Johnson and Forsett for Julio and Crowell

That would give me Ivory, Yeldon, Blue, McFadden, Perriman, Crowell as options for Flex/RB2. Should be able to play matchups there and get decent production to couple with Dez, Ryan, Charles, Graham

The guy with Julio would be insane to do that.

I think if you are just looking at his age then youre looking at it wrong. He's going to have a big year.

In one of my leagues I loaded up on running backs with Lacy, Demarco and Forsett with 3 of my 4 picks. Took Mike Evans and Andre in the 3rd and 5th, so he's my #2 WR and I am happy with the way it turned out.

I think it all depends on how you view Julio, I think he will be the top WR this year, so i'd take a shot with Crowell and Gio early on while riding Julio. Crowell is going to be the guy to start, now for how long who knows, but id patch together my RB2 to keep Julio, but thats just me.

ETA: And in regards to Andre I took him as my WR3 behind Cobb and Evans and I think hell out perform that.

Crowell is basically worthless. Forsett is an RB1. Johnson is a WR2, with potential to outperform that. I'd rather roll with Charles, Forsett, Dez, Johnson, flex than Charles, Dez, Julio, crappy rb2, flex. First group will be much more consistent.

I dunno. I'm willing to stream RB2 to get Julio. If the deal goes through I'd have 4 starting running backs as options to play in two spots. Should be able to get decent production there based on the matchup as opposed to starting Forsett every week regardless.

If he's healthy all year, he'll have 90-110 receptions, 1,100-1,300 yards, with 5-8 TD's(might be low on the TD's)

He's a WR2 no question, at least for me. He's going to finish top 20 at WR.
Looking at last year, in my PPR league, 20th place was 226 points, Kelvin Benjamin.

90 receptions = 90 points
1,100 yards = 110 points
6 TDs = 36 points
That's 236, and that's not including any bonus's, and that's i think his floor for this year if healthy all year.

102 receptions leave with Wayne and Nicks
86 receptions went to Bradshaw/Richardson/Herron (Gore/Herron aren't getting 86 receptions.
80 receptions to Allen/Fleener
105 receptions went to returning guys Hilton/Moncrief

Luck is going to have 400 completions.
I think between Hilton/TE's, you have close to 175 receptions eaten up.
RB's won't have 86 again, more like 65.

So you have about 160 receptions to go around between ANDRE JOHNSON, Moncrief(who's losing his #3 to Phillip Dorsett), and a bunch of guys fighting to make the roster, who won't see the field much at all.
