Derrick Henry Trade

[Chwf3rd]

Team 3 in my sig.

I am 1-5 (19th place) and in full rebuild mode. I am not a fan of Derrick Henry and thus I've been trying to trade him away after last nights game. Still, it seems like Henry may have even more value this summer if Murray leaves Tennessee and Henry takes over the backfield.

Someone offered me their 1st (currently #11 overall) + Martavis Bryant for Henry. This doesn't seem to be enough for me but what would you counter with?

His Team
QB: Matt Ryan, Davis Webb, EJ Manuel
RB: Melvin Gordon, Jordan Howard, Isiah Crowell
WR: Martavis Bryant, Robby Anderson, Marvin Jones, Marquis Goodwin, Adam Humphries, Breshad Perriman, Phillip Dorsett, Tyler Boyd, Travis Rudolph
TE: Ben Watson, Austin Hooper, Jesse James

Well the fact that his best receiver is Bryant says to me that I wouldn't want to trade Henry for anyone he'd Be willing to add to that first.

He's gonna be a starting RB eventually, his value still has room to climb so I'd hold. In the offseason is where his value will be highest especially if Murray gets moved or cut.

i think bryant plus a 1st is plenty, the rest of his team is garbage unless he wants to swap rbs for some reason

It's a 20 team league and he's 9th overall right now and top 10 in overall points scored

That's a very solid return. I would accept it.

[srlarson]

not even close to enough......Henry's value will only go up.....I would hold and see where it goes....if the #1 was top 2 or 3 I would consider but mid to late 1st...just shots in the dark......

I'm high on Henry- so I'd keep him. Only way I'd make that is if I knew I could flip MB

That's 2 firsts for a backup RB. Don't know what more you could ask, especially since you're trying to trade him.

There's another thread asking about Howard's value. The consensus is 2 Firsts. What's the difference between Howard and Henry?

I'd stay put. You're obviously not competing this year, so there is no reason to trade Henry at his current value. When DeMarco moves on, he can be valued as an RB1. Your long-term weakness also lays at RB. I wouldn't move him for a struggling WR one hit of chronic away from being suspended indefinitely.

Murray still has 2 years left on his contract after this year so he could easily come back next year and Henry's value would drop even further.

You say "his current value" as if he's being valued low because he's not the starter. But a First PLUS a WR who's worth at MINIMUM a 2nd round pick, that's very good value. That's how a lot of people value a guy like Hyde, Ajayi, or Howard

[Goddard]

I'd just hold him at this point. That offer doesn't excite me and Bryant continues to lose value in my opinion. A late 1st doesn't close that gap.

[Pats/VikesFan]

I traded Henry for Brandin Cooks, straight up, at the beginning of the season.
