Thoughts on this trade?

Would you do this trade for team two in my sig?

Give: 1.03, 1.09, 2.03

Get: Fournette and Lamar Miller


I think I'm leaning no. If I could make the 1.09 my 1.14 I think I'd do it. What says you?

[FantasyFreak]

I'd keep the picks. Guice and Chubb are arguably as good as Fournette. Miller is toast.

[jman3134]

I would do it. Fournette has proven himself and is in a good situation. We don't know the landing spots for any of the top 6 rbs. Lamar Miller is one of the most underrated backs in fantasy and still has years left. Fournette is better than Chubb or Guice and Lamar Miller is likely better than whatever you get at 9. Trade question marks for proven production at rb.

I get what you're saying. I really do worry though that Miller WAS the most underrated back. Not sure if he continues to be. Thank you for your input.

i do that, fournette is easily worth that alone and miller aint dead, and also should enjoy a solo backfield at least early on if foreman isnt 100%

[murphysxm]

Fournette's track record of not being able to stay on the field scares me. I'd rather have the 1.03 side

[The Red Rooster]

I would want the LF side...especially if you could swap out the 1.09 with the 1.14. In a 14 team league, I think you would have a pretty strong team after making this trade.

[maxhyde]

That is a pretty solid deal. I think Fournette is better than 1.02 or 1.03 so I would be ok with the deal as it is or if you can get 1.09 swapped with 1.14

[Valhalla]

This trade will likely still be on the table following the NFL draft, as the picks are unlikely to fall much in value.

What COULD conceivably happen in a couple days, though, is the Texans could draft a pretty damn good RB since there's some question surrounding the return of Foreman. What could also happen is the Jaguars could draft another RB surprisingly high, like pairing Fournette back up with Guice. "Shocking" things occur every year to the dynasty landscape. It makes some football sense. The coaches are ones who historically want to lean heavily on the run. They have Bortles to protect, so leaning even heavier on the run than they did last year could be a smart play. They also have a top defense, so they really should just try to master the ground game. I feel like it would be a savvy football move to get another talented RB to share the load with Fournette, to keep two talented RBs fresh even with a very high per game run count.

Due to the risk surrounding both Miller, and to a smaller (but not inconceivable) extent Fournette of losing touch count, I'd wait this trade out. Like I said, I don't think the picks will drop in value as much as a RB could.

[Ray Finkle]

I’ll echo what Valhalla said.

Trade away RBs before the NFL draft. Trade for them after the NFL draft.

Best case scenario, a current NFL RB’s team doesn’t draft a back and they retain their current value. Worst case, they get the Derrick Henry treatment that Demarco got a couple years ago. All it takes for your 1.03 to gain value is 2 players not named Saquan land in ideal spots. That should happen.

[Never Veto1]

By Monday your trade partner may not want to do the trade anymore. I'd do it and be happy. If you can move the 1.14 instead of 1.09 more power to you. Miller is a better back when he has someone helping him carry the load. I would bet my left arm the Jags are not taking a RB that Fournette will have to compete with, if they take one at all. He is their back and will continue to get most of the work.

[whodunnit]

I don't like it, but I'm not a fan of Fournette. Even with the 1.14 I'd rather gamble on Chubb/Freeman/Michel than LF
