PPR league

I'd be giving up Antonio Brown and Frank Gore for LeSean McCoy and either Brandin Cooks (hopefully) or Greg Jennings.

Roster (post-trade):
Nick Foles
Demaryius Thomas
Terrance Williams
LeSean McCoy
Tre Mason
Julius Thomas
Brandin Cooks
Dan Bailey
-------------
Andy Dalton
Davante Adams
Josh Gordon
Jeremy Hill
Carlos Hyde
Zac Stacy (most likely will be dropped)
Travis Kelce

I'd like opinions regarding whether it's a good trade for me. I don't want to give up Brown but I'd rather keep the players (J. Thomas and D. Thomas) who have gone through a bye already and their early game makes it impossible to get the trade through before the weekend.

Do not give up possibly the most consistent WR in the game today

I know, but my running backs are absolute garbage: Frank Gore, Zac Stacy, Jeremy hill, Carlos Hyde, and Storm Johnson (I should get Mason or Brown this week on waivers).

I have to do something at RB. I got 3.5 points out of RBs this week. I don't know whether to: or or

You definitely need a RB but damn, having DT88, Julius, and Brown is pretty beastly. I would try to flip someone like Kelse and a piece for a RB2ish (TRich, Vereen) and roll with that.

Trades are pretty difficult to come by in this league. There are only a few people that need an upgrade at TE.

One team has Andre Williams, Pierre Thomas, jonathan Stewart, Montee Ball, and Alfred Morris but he has like 2 transactions over the last two years.

Another team has Donnell on a bye but I play him this week so he has no incentive to make a deal.

And the final team with a clear upgrade need has Fred Jackson, Trent Richardson, MJD, McCluster, and Starks.

It's a bit of a barren wasteland now for trading Kelce for a RB.

I do it. You have a big need at running back and McCoy's best numbers are ahead of him.

If you absolutely must trade AB, You could probably get two starting RBs plus a solid QB.

What's the difference if brown and gore score 30 points a week or mccoy and cooks score 30 a week?

Brown has that built in high floor. I see no reason to make that trade
