In a superflex league where you can only roster 3 QBs. I have Maye, Herbert and Baker. Burrow is sitting on waivers and looks to be returning. Should I drop Baker for him?

If you do that, just be prepared in case they decide not to let him play because they are out of the playoff race. That said, I would do it and take the chance.

Trade Baker for a skill position player and pick up Burrow

Trade deadline passed last week. Had to keep 3 because of Herbies late bye week.

With Herbert’s offensive line issues, I think I would rather Baker than him ROS.

frick no

Baker is a QB1 on a playoff contending team playing in the nfc south. Burrow is coming off a major foot injury on a team that may be shutting it down soon in a difficult, bad weather division.

Yeah Bakers wk 14 - 17 is a good setup. I'd like to see the Bucs offense playing better though

Sound advice.

Going with that, I have someone offering me a trade that I initially laughed at, but I'm digging deeper to see if it helps me. I had the first pick in the draft and grabbed Chase. He's had a few subpar games but obviously can put up a ton of points. But due to injuries, and some dumb decisions on my part, I'm sitting in last place. I would just say frick it because I can't make the playoffs, but there is a punishment for last place and I'm one game back.

They are sending
Justin Herbert
Nico Collins

I'm sending
Jamar Chase
Dallas Goedert

I've got Baker at QB right now. Full point PPR. Normal lineups.

I usually start

Qb Baker
Rb Achane
Rb Rico
Wr Chase
Wr Tet
Te Goedert
K
D


I've got Diggs on my bench and Juwan Johnson for my TE.

If Cincinnati is out of contention does Chase mail it in? The trade helps his team a lot, I just don't think it helps me enough. The trade won't go through until next week.

I traded chase thinking he’s going to mail it in. I love Herbert but they’ve looked rough after losing the OTs. Hopefully they can figure something out in the bye week.
I
Nico has been kind of a weird player this season. Maybe toss a couple other chase offers around and see if there are any bites.
