So I was a little intoxicated and decided to piece this trade together and shoot him a message about it and the guy says that he is on board, just send him the trade. Am I winning or losing this trade? I feel pretty good about it the more I think about it.

Mahomes + J. Taylor + Kupp
For
Russell Wilson + Alvin Kamara

If it’s ppr it’s a better trade then in a standard league

It is pretty even trade that can go either way. Johnathan Taylor has upside to finish ahead of kamara. If that happens then you probably lost this trade. There is also risk of Wilson production dropping if they resort back to their heavy run game plan

I don't think it's necessarily a "winning or losing" thing but I'd stay put.

I would much rather have Taylor and Mahomes. When you throw kupp in it’s not even close to me.

Taylor has a fantastic o line in front of him and is an unquestioned bell cow. I think the qbs could go either way but I always worry about when Pete Carroll and Seattle decide to just run it 35 times.

What's the downgrade look like at the spot you were starting Kupp at? I think I'd rather have Rustle and Kamara than Mahomes and Taylor, but if Kupp is an every week starter for you, I'd hold off.

The problem with Kupp is that pending the rams gameplan his floor is a lot lower this year. It is why I snatched up Robert Woods in both my leagues

That was the concern preseason, but he's clearly the WR2 even in 2 WR sets. 85% snap rates in the first two games, which is right there with Woods.

Bob Woods was a good pick independent of any Kupp concerns, so nicely done here. He'll be a WR1 if he can find the end zone every once in a while.

Your stat checks out but I don’t know if I believe that he is the wr2 in wr2 sets. I know that the first week against Dallas they ran 12 person on the first drive and Woods and Reynolds were in. I don’t know if that has changed or if they are just running more 3 wr sets but I Don’t think I have ever seen Kupp play on the outside.

He changed the deal from Kupp to OBJ. He hurts to lose a little more than Kupp would in my opinion.
