1.1 vs Mike Evans?

[auggiedoggies]

12 team PPR Superflex. We start 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1 superflex, and 4 flex..

My team is terrible. Main players below:

Carr, Jameis

Abdullah, Cook, Alf, Powell, Riddick, White, Thompson

TY, Mike Williams, Edelman, Ginn, Kearse

Reed, Olsen

The good news is I have the 1st, 8th, 9th, and 11th pick in ever round, in addition to the 3rd pick in the 2nd round.


An owner has offered me Mike Evans for the 1.1.....I have no idea what to do. Thoughts?

If I were you I would sell 1.1, but it needs to be for a package for picks and players with upside, not just one piece (unless you think you could flip Evans for more).

Have an auction, let the league know what you are looking for and pick the best offer only if it is an over pay. I would wait till closer to the real draft at least, potentially when you are in ge clock. When the pick is on the clock and you have offers in hand you could always ask for a first a couple years down he line to be added

11 starters? That suggests depth has stronger value than in a league with 8-9 starters. However it does not take away from the elite players imo. So since you have several other rookie picks and you're getting a young elite WR (imo) entering his prime it seems like it is a no brainer to accept - although I am sure others could disagree.

I'd also note that Evans has put up 4 straight 1000 yard seasons, and while this last season is likely a disappointment for some, Hopkins bounced back from a disappointing 2016 to have a top 3 season, and it is quite possible Evans could put up a top 5 season again next season.

So I'd be comfortable selling the 1.01 for Evans, trusting in Cook and seeing what RBs you can grab at the later picks. Evans is young enough that even if you're not ready to contend before 2019 that he's still early in his prime.

1.01 easily for me. 1000 yards = 100 fantasy points. Barely going over 1000 yards without a high number of receptions and/or TDs isn’t that big in FF which is why Evans has been a WR2 or WR3 in 3 of his 4 seasons.

I love Evans and I think that in any League he's a top 5 pick. Anybody you taking with the one one is he in the top five even top 10 not at this time so I can go with Evans

That pick will only go up in value. I wouldn't be surprised if you're able to get Evans+ in a couple months.

I am never a fan of trading a top pick pre NFL draft/combine. The value of the pick always goes up. Especially in a year where so many people agree there is a clear #1 in Barkley. Hold and wait for the overpay offers.
