Brandin Cooks for Luck & D. Murray

Postby Hollywood » Thu Sep 21, 2017 1:26 pm

14-Team League, 0.5ppr, team in Signature below. Start 1 QB, 2 RB, 3 WR, 1 TE.

Getting: Brandin Cooks
Giving: Andrew Luck and DeMarco Murray

There is no way I would have made that trade 2 weeks ago but with the Luck injury lingering and D. Henry gaining time in Tennessee I am at least thinking about it.

Am I selling low or getting value while I can?!

Any help is greatly appreciated.
Team 1 (superlex):
QB: Mahommes, Geno, Cousins, Ridder
RB: CMC, Javonte, Allgeier
WR: K. Allen, Metcalf, D. Smith, Ridley, Bateman, Burks, Wan'Dale

Team 2:
QB: Aaron Rodger, Watson
RB: Alvin Kamara, Zeke, D. Henderson, Mostert, Cohen, Jamaal Williams
WR: Metcalf, AJ Brown, Alen Robinson, Crowder, Lazard
TE: Mark Andrews, Trautman

I see this is a buy low on Cooks and a sell high on Murray. I'd do it.

In a 1QB league and already owning Ryan, easily take Cooks.

Thanks guys. Sounds like there is a consensus to pull the trigger!!

I had high hopes for Murry and Luck but must be time to move on.

Thanks!

PS - if it affects the decision at all, all players involved have 3 years left on their contracts (e.g. so I would only have Cooks for 2 years after this).

I'll be the one to disagree. And that's because I don't care for Cooks. We have proof of how he will disappear in the NE offense. I get it's a 1QB league and Murray looks like he may have been hit by father time. But I would prefer to hold out until Luck comes back or aim for a WR I can actually count on.

Not even debatable. Take it. You win.

People forget how it takes time for a QB/WR to develop chemistry. We saw inklings of that with Sammy last night, who had a worse two game start than Cooks. For those watching the Pats games, you see how close Cooks is to gaining that rapport.

Not a huge Cooks fan but I think I'd take that, may try to squeeze a 2nd with it
