Thanks to a little foresight by me (and some help from ESPN), I drafted DeAndre Hopkins in the later rounds. Now he's becoming a popular trade target.

In a 12 man PPR, my team
QBs Cutler, Romo
RBs Beast Mode, Fred Jackson, Ben Tate, Isaiah Crowell, Khiry Robinson
WRs Brandon Marshall, Marques Colston, Michael Floyd, DeAndre Hopkins
TEs Greg Olsen
D Carolina

I've already turned down 1 trade offer (Seahawks D and Golden Tate for Hopkins) but a second has come in.

Drew Brees, Eric Decker, and Texans D for Ben Tate, Jay Cutler, and DeAndre Hopkins.. Thoughts?

Horrible trade. Don't do it, Ben Tate is playing after the bye. Post both of your teams.

You don't need a defense. It's a 2 for 3 trade.

Eric Decker is also banged up.

Alright I'm sold. I was already leaning toward rejecting it. I have no confidence in Decker on the Jets, and no need for another D.

Hopkins is the second best WR on your team. You are in a great position. Stay put.

I trust Floyd and that system more than Hopkins.

Not without Palmer, IMO. With Palmer, yes.

He did just fine with Stanton at the helm. And Stanton was with Arians at the Colts, so this offense isn't new to him.

5 grabs, 9 targets, 114 yards

Hopkins had 6 grabs and 116 yards. Floyd has not caught a touchdown this year. Those honors went to John Brown. Floyd also had an abysmal week 2 with 2 points.

That's all fine and dandy. We can like different players. I brought in Floyd's stats because you said you didn't trust him with Stanton. He did just fine.

I'm going to trust the guy in a passing offense.

ETA: For the rest of the season, you would take Hopkins over Floyd? Nm. Your response answered the question.

It's not that I don't trust him, I just think Hopkins will have more points than him at the end of the season.
