12 team PPR. Standard lineup.

Yea, I was hesitant to post my bench because I don’t have much depth at RB. I had Josh cook, and Brian Robinson. I dropped Cook. Was hoping I could handle my RBs until Robinson got healthy and eventually take over the starting RB in Washington. So I literally do not have a RB outside of 1, and 2. Since all the RBs went so early in the draft (I was 12th pick, in a 12 team PPR), I loaded up on WRs, and planned to trade as needed. Well now I definitely need.

My whole roster is

Wilson
Wentz

Swift
Etienne
Robinson (injured)

Lamb
M. Thomas
Amon Ra St. Brown.
Aiyuk
Robert Woods
Corey Davis

Schultz
Njoku



Not only is that trade on the table (Mixon for Amon, Ra). I was just offered McLaurin, Dobbins, and Gibson for Lamb, Etienne, and Aiyuk.

Do I take one or both trades

I could offer, but I don’t think he’ll bite on what I have. I’m ok with giving up one of them for Mixon. I just feel like Amon has the most upside.

12 team PPR. One flex. Standard lineup. Sorry about not including that in the title. I’ll fix

and Etienne is a bust


I own Mixon and Etienne and I’m seriously considering starting Etienne over Mixon this week. His game script should be great Sunday

Based on what? Robinson is outperforming in every way, shape, and form. Outside of Etienne catching more passes, Robinson get all of the TD work as well as carries

I mean Etienne has seen his carries increase each week and getting 3-4 targets per game.

16 opportunities last week. I think Etienne is a solid fill-in. With a TD he’s got a top 10 game.

Etiennes receiving targets are 4-3-3 so they have decreased. His rushing attempts have gone up. Last game was a blowout so that’s expected.

Robinson is the back to own here.

Opps: 8-12-16 vs 13-25-20

Robinson is still getting the bulk and doing enough with it to be RB3

Rec targets/catches:

It’s a small difference.

Of course Robinson is the guy. But Etienne is getting work enough to warrant consideration as a starter.

My bad. Didn’t mean to respond to you.

He shouldn’t be started over Mixon.

So can we get back to the original question now

Mixon and the WRs. He’s sold on Amon. He won’t take anyone else for Mixon

Russell Wilson
Etienne
Swift
Amon Ra
Michael Thomas
Ceedee Lamb
Schultz

Those are my starters. My RB options were pretty limited with the 12th pick. I loaded up on WRs. Would use them for trades, which I’ve found myself in a situation now

Not sure the hesitancy to show your whole team, but value over replacement is needed to analyze a trade. For example, if swift is out 2-4 weeks and your next best option at rb isn’t starter caliber, mixon is more valuable for your team and even more so if your wr 4 is a decent one. With the limited roster you provided, I’d be inclined to take it as it sounds like you might be starting yourself at rb2 this week.

I’d take mixon for st. Brown. You will probably have to start etienne and mixon this week and slide Aiyuk in the flex. I thought you’d have more rbs on your bench. I’d look for 1 or 2 rbs on the waiver wire.

Unfortunately not much. Burkhead isn’t even on waivers. It’s all backup RBs. People hoarding RBs but most people are short on depth.

Top 3 are
C. Reynolds
E. Benjamin
J. McKinnon (who I may pickup)
