I am loaded at WR and have Hopkins coming off suspension next week. I'm also hurting at RB. See below for quick overview of my team. Would you accept this trade? This is a PPR league and annual re-draft (i.e. not a dynasty or keeper league).

WR: Davante Adams, AJ Brown, Ceedee Lamb, DK Metcalf, Deandre Hopkins
RB: Swift (hurt), Miles Sanders, AJ Dillon, Etienne, Jamaal Williams

I like Etienne to take over eventually this year, so trading him hurts. But I do need RB help now and Dobbins can fill that gap. If Swift gets healthy, I'd be starting Swift/Dobbins at RB, Davante/AJ Brown at WR, and Ceedee in Flex.

Dobbins had one really good game and meh in the other two. I don't think you're really upgrading that much.

Seems like with your WR group, you could find something better.

Etienne trending up. Might be able to get more value out of him down the road.

My thoughts as well. I may sit tight and try to get by another week or two with my current RB room. Trotting out Miles Sanders and AJ Dillon or Etienne this week is tough to look at

Etienne is big time trending up. I would not give up Etienne and Hopkins for Dobbins, but that's just me.

No trade.

Hopkins should fetch more than the #16 RB ROS.

I would go after the Aaron Jones owner. Make a deal to get him or send one of your receivers and AJ Dillon for an upgrade at RB.

Agree with everyone else that the trade is meh at best. So let's focus on something else- how on earth did you manage to get all these baws on your team? Must have been some sick trades involved.

10 team auction draft. Everyone over-paid for the top 5 RB's and top 3 WR's (Kupp, Jefferson, Chase).

The only big name RB that I wanted was Swift. The rest of my $$ was spent on the WR's and then scooping up Miles Sanders and Etienne. I thought for sure Etienne would be a viable RB2 from week 1. So that was my strategy.

My TE is shite - Hockenson. He did have a blow-up week which was nice. QB is Kyler. Not too thrilled there either.

Edited to add - I got Hopkins for $2 near the end of the auction draft when no one had any $$ left.
