Move Bortles?

Postby harveyd » Wed Jun 20, 2018 4:44 pm

Hey all,

Playing in a 16 team, 2 qb league, would you move Bortles for either option?

Option 1:
Give: Bortles/2020 1st
Get: Sony Michel

Option 2:
Give: Bortles
Get: Ajayi/2020 2nd

My rb depth is thin, which is why I'm looking to make this move. details below
16 tm, 2QB/2RB/3WR/1TE/2FLX; 0.1 pt/comp, 0.1 pt/carry 0.0t pt/ret-yrd) | {0.5 ppr RB / 0.75 WR / 1.17 TE}
Rodgers, Watson, Rivers, Bortles, Flacco, Kizer
Zeke, Devonta, Collins, Dmart, Perine, Prosise
Evans, Julio, MThomas, Alshon, Dez, CDavis, Lockett, ZJones, AWilson, DPettis, TreQuan Smith
Graham, Butt

Any starting QB should have enormous value with those league settings. Those trades are not enough. You are in a great spot with that amount of depth at QB. I would be looking to trade Bortles and Flacco to QB needy teams or package them both for a big haul. Both could easily be out out of starting jobs next year.

I would keep Bortles, hes more valuable to you, and when a QB gets hurt and a team is desperate they will pay more.

Id hold, he has no comp to lose his job.

Is this a 2 copy league? If not, you have 5 starting QBs which means at least a few teams don't have two and cant field a competitive line-up. Starting QBs should be gold in that league, even if they're seen as lower tiered guys. Like someone else said, Michel and a 1st is closer to fair and that would be just a starting point for me, they'd need to add more.

In general, I think Bortles is a hold. His reputation doesn't match his production, no one is going to pay what he's actually worth. I'd more likely move Watson for an absolute haul and get by with Rivers/Bortles/Flacco in the QB2 spot.

You are undervaluing Bortles considerably as a fantasy QB (as do many) as he's right at the cusp of a top 10 QB... I wouldn't move Bortles straight up for Michel much less be throwing in a 1st round pick. And I'd want a bigger piece back with Ajayi than a future 2nd.
If you can't leave at least a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat out.

I traded Bortles last year in a 10 team 2 QB league for Tevin Coleman and a 3rd round pick in the rookie draft, where I got QB Mason Rudolph. I thought it was fair, but maybe should have gotten a 2nd round pick. Any starting QB is gold in a 2QB league, especially a 16 team league, you should be able to get more.

Bortles is worth a lot more than that. However, since you own 5 QBs, I'd look to move Bortles this year, but probably wait till the season starts and other owners get desperate. You should be able to get pretty good value when byes start coming around and other teams have no one to start.
