Big boy WR trade.. need help

Postby SteelerFan4Life » Tue Aug 01, 2017 9:32 am

This is for a 12 team PPR league:

I give Amari Cooper, Michael Thomas, John Brown
I get Antonio Brown, Allen Robinson

We start 1 QB, 2-3 RB, 3-4 WR, 1-2 TE
My roster:
QB - Luck, Big Ben
RB - L Bell, J Howard, D Murray, McCaffery, D Henry, AP, R Kelley
WR - OBJ, Cooper, M Thomas, Cobb, K White, J Brown, Tyrell Williams, LaFell, E Rogers, C Patterson, M Lee, M Hollins
TE - Kelce, J Reed, J Leggett

My concern is, and this coming from a die hard Steelers fan, is it is smart to have Big Ben, L Bell and AB? If they have a bad game.. it would kill me.

Pass for me.

Keep your youth. AB's future is muddy now that Big Ben is seriously considering retirement.

Your team is very competitive, so I'd take the AB side.

I know there are questions about Big Ben possibly retiring, but this is a pretty fair deal and with your team I'd take the Brown/ARob side and go win a championship.

I think it is a pretty fair trade, it always nice to grab Brown. The Cooper and Thomas combo could actually outscore Brown and Arob this year. Plus you keep everyone's favorite sleeper John Brown. It's a toss up for me, but I think I might stand pat.

It's always smart to have Ben, Bell and Brown haha. Even if the team has a bad game, their fantasy points remain constant. As for the trade, Cooper and Thomas are going to have a big year. I just don't like ARob's QB situation, and Ben is probably going to retire in 2019. Then again, Brees might not be in NO next season. All signs point to Brees signing an extension though and playing at least 2-3 more years. Since you're a Steelers fan I'd make the trade! It's pretty even.

I would stay put, you're hurting yourself long term with this move and I don't think AB and ARob combined will outscore Cooper and Thomas this year. Keep the youth, the move makes you only marginally more competitive... maybe.

Considering your team, I'd accept it. I would try to remove John Brown from the trade though. It's certainly fair without him and it's not a great time to be selling him. I expect a rebound.

I'm pretty torn on this but seeing that you have Bell I'm not a fan of doubling down on one team. Granted they are both studs, but if Bell goes off and AB doesn't see many targets, bad weather during playoff weeks, etc. I'd prefer to have options from other teams. You have 3 young stud wrs I'd stick with them.
