“Eric Bachman, is your refrigerator running? This is Mike Hunt.”

I’m deploying Cam at QB, so intrigued by the stack. Weather doesn’t seem to be a factor in either game, except that it will be cold as shite in Buffalo....like in the 20’s apparently.

How would you guys proceed?

Lineup as of now:
Cam
Gurley
Bell
A. Brown
Landry
Doyle (played)
M. Ingram
Ravens
Gostkowski

Which do you like better here in the homestretch? Both have the lion share of team targets, although Brown seems to have more competition as of late with JuJu coming in strong.

I like Brown’s remaining schedule better...4 of the next 5 are at home (which is the rest of the season in a couple of my leagues). Hopkins is at Jax week 15 when I would be in the championship game.

The skinny, I’ve been offered Hopkins and Jimmy Graham for Brown, Alex Smith, and Jack Doyle. 12-team half-ppr....been in 1st since the get go. Here’s my squad of note as of now:

Cam/Smith
Gurley/Bell/Ingram
Brown/Landry/Funchess/Corey Davis
Reed/Doyle

If Reed was reliable it would be moot, but I could really use Graham. I just like Brown’s next 5 a lot more than Hopkins, otherwise I would have hit accept the second this offer came in.

What’s the good word guys?

Seems to me like you'd both come out about even trading Hunt/Freeman for Gurley/Ingram but getting Landry/Engram while trading away Murray/Cobb gives you the advantage.

I agree with all that.

Considering this trade:

I TRADE
K. Hunt
D. Freeman
L. Murray
R. Cobb

I GET
T. Gurley
M. Ingram
J. Landry
E. Engram

Caveat: I'm in 1st place in the league, and the other guy is looking to fire sale in return a jump on next year. Hunt would be a keeper for next year for a mere 5% of my draft auction budget.

All 4 of these guys would start for me, whereas Lat Murray and Cobb won't, barring byes or something.

What's the good word boys....opinions?

Brown-Desean for Julio- Hopkins....really doubt he would take that but you'd be trade raping him. His end game is pairing Brown with Julio

---

Maybe, but again I'd rather not de-diversify my portfolio by pairing Julio with Freeman.....I guarantee Sanu, Coleman, and Co would see a large uptick in TD's once I did that.

quote:

Hopkins is stuck with a rookie qb in a horrible offense, and Thomas hasn't done much this year despite his team being behind in both games and needing to throw on every down. Brown is one of the top fantasy wr's, and you are giving him away for 2 guys that may not finish the year as wr1's.

---

My thoughts exactly....just wanted to bounce the scenario off some other guys to see what the consensus was.

What do you guys think about this trade proposal? I would be trading Antonio Brown in exchange for Deandre Hopkins and Michael Thomas.

My other WR's are Maclin, Cobb, Desean, Rishard, and JJ Nelson.

I'm currently 2-0 and in 1st place....another owner offered this to me but I'm not really feeling it. The other guy also has Julio, so this would allow him to pair Julio with Antonio.

I would counter with something like Brown-Desean for Julio-Hopkins, but I've also got Devonta Freeman. Pairing Freeman with Julio would really make those Coleman and Sanu TD's sting like a bitch.
