Our Fournette owner is cutting bait.

12 team Half point ppr.

My roster:

QB: Luck
RB: D. Johnson, Ingram, Brieda, Morris, Henry, cj Anderson
WR: (loaded) A. Brown, Evans, Adams, Jeffrey, D. Jackson
TE: Eifert, Olsen

I'm entertaining offering Evans for Fournette. I'm not sure if he'd go for anything less. This is a keeper league too so draft picks can be traded. Fair trade? Too expensive?

I think Evans is too expensive with Fournette's injury questions. There's speculation this absence could be longer than the first one.

I get that, but I could stash him and it wouldn't matter, and my wrs are deep enough to pick up the slack from losing Evans.

It does scare me that he could turn into Roddy White with his high ankle sprain where he was questionable every week until the season ended, he never got on the field and ended up being a wasted pick.

Way too expensive. Evans for Fournette is a fair trade when Fournette's healthy, not close right now.

If he's "cutting bait" try something lower end like DJax and CJ Anderson.

Also - no opinion on the draft pick trading, never played in a league like that myself.

Mike Evans was the #2 WR PPR and .5 PPR going into this week. I would think he'd lower his standards if he wanted to get something for LF.

You should trade for a TE instead

In all seriousness, I would not offer Evans. I would consider Adams, but I’m not so sure I’d accept that as the Fournette owner. I mean he was a top 15 draft pick in most drafts, hard to cut bait at a loss (as far as draft capital goes)

A. Brown - Steelers are a mess
Evans - Solid with Fitz. TBD with Winston
Adams - Assuming Davante. Solid
Jeffrey - Hurt. Shoulders can linger get re-aggravated
D. Jax - Good

You're an injury away from sweating the bye weeks. I most certainly wouldn't upgrade for Fournette.

Believe me, I wish I could. But like all leagues, TE is hot garbage everywhere.

Adams is as valuable or more than Evan's in this league because he can be kept for a 7th round pick next season.

I disagree. I'd say a tip 10 every down rb in a run first offense is more valuable than a top 10 receiver because of position scarcity.

I do like this. I offered him DJX and he countered with Evans. I'll throw in a backup rb.

Adams could easily outscore Evans the rest of the way, I think the two are pretty close in value. I’d look elsewhere.

A team with Fournette might be off to a rough start- I’d think about offering a pick or guy with more value next year in case Fournette owner is playing for next year

That's true. Fournette is more valuable at his best. But, as it sits today, Evans is a better own than Fournette.

They had a shitty 2nd half last night. Ben threw for 4 or 5 TDs last week. He'll be fine.

Yea Antonio brown is one of the few players i’d Be worrying about. If anything, the Steelers issues could help AB due to more pass attempts trying to catch up

He's actually going to win this week and be 3-1, but his roster isn't very intimidating. I'd rather save my picks if I can but they aren't off the table.

He countered with Kittle and Fournette for Brieda and DJax.

My first thought is no because Brieda might end up with some pretty sweet keeper value at the end of the year, but I do need a TE

I do too, but I'm going to put a performance condition on Brieda where I'd get a compensatory pick depending on how his season goes. Nothing too high.
