Looking to move Cooper. What's his value?

[Mike from Canada]

Cooper just had yet another really bad drop. I for one am a frustrated owner. I'd trade him for a high first and a good player.

I got Cooper for 1.04, 1.06 and a 2018 first this offseason and then flipped him and a third for Kelce, Freeman, and Crowder.

I've soured on Cooper, but in that case I would rather have Cooper.

IMO, you're crazy for moving Cooper -- or Brown, Julio, OBJ, or Cooks. The guys that you look to move are Davis, Parker, Moncrief, and Ross. The reason that you want to have elite depth is so that you're covered for bye weeks, injuries, and/or off seasons. Makes no sense to trade away elite depth to lose in Week 16 when you have to start Moncrief instead...

Now, if you're trading elite depth for an elite player elsewhere, then that's different (DJ, Bell, Freeman, etc.). But for picks? No way. (*Exception: you have a perceived elite player whom you think will fall off the cliff: McCoy fit that profile for me.)

Otherwise, keep your studs and use your depth to acquire picks and/or consolidate into another stud.
