JuJu for Demaryius Thomas. Trade advice! thoughts??

Postby TurkMatt » Tue Aug 28, 2018 12:40 am

Been offered but wondering should i accept a trade of JuJu Smith-Schulster(him) for Demaryius Thomas(me) or stand put w my team. Do you all think JuJu is an upgrade over Thomas at this point in their careers??

My team currently:

QB: Matthew Stafford
RB: Zeke, D.Freeman, Joe Mixon, Mark Ingram, Burkhead, Marlon Mack
WR: D.Thomas, E.Sanders, Robby Anderson, Doctson, Godwin, Kolladay
TE: OJ Howard

Half PPR 12 team redraft, 1 QB/ 2 RB/ 3 WR/ 1 TE/ 1 FLEX/ 1 K/ 1 DEF

i'm leaning towards accepting this cause im fond of JuJu and his situation but feel maybe i'd be giving up too much to get him. Anybody else high on a bounce back year from Demaryius w Keenum there and a run game featuring Freeman or is Sanders the only one to own in Denver?

JuJu, JuJu, and then JuJu.

Which do you think is the more likely outcome:
1) JuJu continues to put up big numbers in an elite passing scheme while Thomas improves to regain high-WR2 status (making JuJu more valuable!); or
2) JuJu having a huge sophomore slump while Keenum elevates Thomas back to his earlier WR1 status?

Yeah, I think that the first is not only more likely but also provides the muuuuuuuuch higher ceiling.

Dynasty, I agree with this 100%, but since this is redraft, I think DT is the better play. Juju's numbers were unsustainable as the number 2. AB and Bell take up too many targets.

I agree. But, a regression on a points/game basis by JuJu (likely!) and a return to a PPG game for DT from a couple of years ago (possible) still probably has JuJu scoring more point this year. And that doesn't even account for the fact that JuJu's upside remains higher.
