10 team PPR, 6 pt TDs, 5 pt bonus for 300+ passing/100+ rush/rec

Current Starters:
QB-Ryan
RB-Leveon Bell
RB-Lamar Miller
WR-Megatron
WR-Hilton
TE-Graham
Flex-Gronk
DST-Lions
K-Parkey

Backups: Josh Gordon, Reggie Bush, Asiata, Alfred Blue, Sanu, Decker, Alex Smith

I was offered Brady for Gronk, which would work because I can play Gordon in the flex. Torn on whether or not I should stay put because if I have an injury down the stretch my backups are really weak.

Note: I am a playoffs lock, and the team I would be trading with is in a fight for the last playoffs spot with 3 weeks to go. Should I trade or stay put?

Thoughts?

I'd trade Graham before I traded Gronk

My first thought is I would stay put...but then I thought if you really wanted Brady I would counter with Graham instead.

Gronk > Graham


ETA: Got beat to it....but yea

Oh well....he's the one fighting for a playoff spot not you.

I mean Matt Ryan isn't garbage (completely anyway). He could very well have 3 good games in a row for you in the playoffs.

I haven't had 20+ from my QB spot since week 5!

Improving his team too much concerns me and Belichick being unpredictable with the offense concerns me too

Belichick isn't unpredictable when it comes to Gronk. If he's healthy he's a beast. If anything Belicheck is incredibly consistent when it comes to the TE position.

Don't do it. Gronk can put up 30 any day he wants. Look at his average and consider he was playing limited and hobbled first pArt of season

I would just say to let you know if he's willing to do Graham and leave it at that.

I suspect his team needs help more than yours.

I'd take it. You upgrade at QB and can fill your flex with Gordon

I would wait until next week and make him sweat

- or at least wait as long as you can. Could y'all trade Tuesday and still have it go thorough?

It might make your team better just because of how your roster is built, but I think that's really low value for gronk.

I would not do that. I was in the same position as you last year with the Graham Gronk deal. It gives you elite depth at a position that is nothing but question marks after your two and Thomas. Graham and Gronk are strong bets for tds each week. Not to mention if you are looking to deal it should be for another rb and not a qb.
