Trading for Meredith

[Oh Yeah Leon]

Being offered Meredith for Barber and a 2018 4th. Obvious accept right?

[FantasyFreak]

I'd take Meredith for that.

[Phaded]

Yeah I would take him too.

That's basically free. No point in waiting on any other replies.

[Goddard]

Meredith easily.

Is this the 10 team league in your sig? If so give me Barber and the 4th. You have no need of Meredith, you do have need of depth at QB & RB.

Your RB situation is not the strongest, nor is your QB (ie it is within the realm of possibilities than you're without a starting QB in 1 year if Lucks rehab goes downhil). So I'd actually go QB at 1.05 and gamble a solid RB is available at 2.02 (which is actually pick 12).

Anyways I know most people expect the Buccaneers to go RB early, but if they dont go RB til Day 3, Barbers going to have a solid role and he's already shown he can outlast Doug Martin (a former 1st round pedigree talent), with CJA upside .

This is a case where I feel keeping the RB and the pick (which is basically a value of an early third when taking the league size and SF into account) is better than the WR who was good for half a season a year and a half ago, especially since the likelyhood (imho) he cracks your starting roster is less than that of Barber.

Unless you're a flip type of owner and feel you can flip Meredith for something better down the road. But the other owner obviously feels he's getting the better end of the deal in your league or he wouldnt have offered what to some looks like an easy accept but to me looks like a regret in hindsight (but I'll issue a mea culpa if wrong).

Piling on the Meredith side.

Meredith all day long and it's not even close.

Bucs will get a RB to be their #1 or 1B in the first 3 rounds of the draft and Barber will be worthless if he isn't already

See this is a hot take by a poster who didnt do their homework or bother to put real thought into giving advice - this post is more worthless than the prediction Barber will be.

The Buccaneers have 2 RBs on their roster atm - one of which is Barber. The Buccaneers also have only 2 picks in the 1st 3 rounds. 1.07 and 2.06 (38th). Their next pick is 102. They'll probably grab a couple of RBs in the 5th or 6th rounds, but they have too many needs at more important positions to likely spend a high pick on RB in a draft that has decent RBs that could even go UDFA - unless Barkley falls into their lap at 7.

The Buccaneers chose to re-sign Barber. They have as of yet - not signed any other RBs despite the decent number of veteran FAs such as Peterson, Charles or Murray. Even if they draft 1-2 RBs or sign 1-2 then worst case scenario, Barber is one injury away from re-gaining a role, and could easily end up the 1A or 1B of a committee if a late drafted RB follows Jeremy McNichols last year (the guy they drafted in the 5th and everyone went gaga over at the time).

Basically Barber = Meredith in value and you're giving up a 4th to get a WR when you dont need another WR.

I certainly think it's close but I am inclined to side with ArrylT here. A 4th rounder is far from worthless in a 10-team SF league

Now this is a well thought out post by someone who has obviously done his homework. I don’t know what makes your advise better than others... but I agree with the guy saying Barber is worthless. I would take the Meredith side.

[AresGodOWar]

I would want a late 1st for Meredith now

[jessup45]

Is the Merideth deal official yet? I thought the bears have until Monday to match? While we can’t argue that Brees is a way better QB than Trubinski, has he ever produced more than 1 reliable fantasy receiving option at a time? I think Barber showed last year he is more than JAG and could be a productive back if they don’t bring in someone else early in the draft (or late to compete for that matter). All that said, I think if someone offered me Merideth for Barber, id probably take it 🤪

[jimmo]

I'd take Barber and the pick with your team. No need to add much because I agree totally with Arryl (minus the snark )
