Currently sitting at 5-4 and holding on to the #5 spot (top 6 make playoffs). Injuries have caused my RB situation to be a little sketchy. 10 team, full PPR.

Have a trade proposed where I give Keenan Allen and get Robby Anderson and Chase Edmonds.

My roster:

QB- Goff
RB- Montgomery, Gibson, Gaskin, Malcom Brown, and Jordan Wilkins
WR- Keenan Allen, Chase Claypool, Jarvis Landry, Mike Evans, Justin Jefferson
TE- Hockenson

His Roster:

QB- Russel Wilson
RB- Henry, J. Robinson, Miles Sanders, Edmonds, and Swift
WR- Adams, Fuller, Anderson, Fulgham, Diontae Johnson
TE- Reed and Engram

I'm thinking of taking it, but giving up Allen is tough. Robby is averaging 8.9 targets per game, and has some good matchups coming up with Detroit and @Minn, but his playoff schedule is tough. Edmonds is going to be my 3rd or 4th when everyone is healthy, but Montgomery is possibly out this week and who knows when Gaskin will be back, so he will at least give me a fighting chance these next few weeks.

TIA

I wouldn’t give up Allen. He’s been absolutely rolling and I think he has the ability to finish the year as a pretty clear WR1. Anderson has cooled off a ton and doesn’t have a ton of upside. I love Chase but I’m sure he’ll be back in a bit of a timeshare soon

You should be getting someone much more consistent for Allen.

The only reason I’d consider accepting is if I though strongly that Edmonds is overtaking Drake in Arizona or if I had Drake and wanted to de-risk another injury to him.

I have Edmonds, no Drake. Even though Edmonds has produced more, I’m not in the camp that he completely takes over the backfield.

Edmonds had a chance last week and looked exactly like Drake has pretty much all year. Also, Drake returned to practice today.

Giving up a top 5 Wr for a #2 WR and a backup RB?

Robby Anderson is clearly not on the same level as Keenan, but he is still is averaging 9 targets a game with the ability to have a 50 yard bomb on every play.

Drake may be the "lead" back, but Edmonds has 25 more targets than him and is top 10 in RB targets. Drake has roughly 40 more touches, but Edmonds has only 50 less yards and 1 less TD.

Edmonds needs Drake back so he can get Rec again because non-Murray carries appear to ne worthless on that offense.
I'm big on Robby, but Allen is easily top 5 WR ROS.
Stick with what you have

Okay y'all convinced me, I'm declining. I was able to pick up Duke Johnson off of free agency since David Johnson is out this week. If worst comes to worst I don't mind spot starting him this week.
