Trade AJ Green for Sammy Watkins and Hunter Henry

Postby RS_Smoove » Fri Apr 20, 2018 9:19 am

My team is on my sig. It's a 2 QB and 2 TE league. You need to start 2 RB and 2 WR and 2 flex that can be RB or WR.

I'm talking with another owner who's considering AJ Green. The offer is I'd give Green and I'd get back Watkins and Henry. Based on my roster, I want to pull the trigger but I'm not too high on Watkins right now. Looking for some advice?

Thanks

Id take the deal in a 2QB league. Henry is a great piece in that format.
Watkins is still a question mark, but KC didnt pay him WR1 money to NOT use him. By next offseason, AJ will be 30 and all these dynasty-pedos will be selling him left and right. Sammy will likely be more valuable than AJ by then, unless he completely flops this year.

Henry would help and you can obviously afford to lose Green, but I still think you'd be giving up the best piece by far. It's definitely close, so wouldn't blame you either way.

I think it's trading a dollar for eighty cents in vacuum-based value, but I like it for your team.

With your roster/starting requirements I'd take that. Green's the best player here, but your receiving corps is just fine without him

Not a fan of this trade at all. I'm guessing it's an 8 or ten team league based on your roster and the starting requirements. I just think you could get more for Green.... yes, I'm not a Watkins believer, and I'd rather have a stud WR at my 2nd flex than what Watkins might do someday.

I agree Hunter is a nice add, but your TEs are stacked with potential as it is - wait for Kittle, Ebron or Everett to step up.

Agree with this. I'd shop him around more before making that deal just to see what else is out there
My PPR dynasties (QB/RB/WR/TE/FL):

Under construction...just noticed teams I had shown were very different than where they are now (lots of trading last 12 months). LOL

How is this best for his roster? You are fine at TE, I’d rather have the depth and flexibility of an elite WR like AJG in the top reserve role than Sammy. just so he can maybe upgrade his backup TE? Yuck.

I am not the biggest fan of AJG at this point in his career, but I am keeping him here. I understand it is a two te league, but I like what you have for your 2nd te. Injuries and byes happen, so AJG is great to have.

Green is the best player in the deal but Watkins and Henry are right behind him. In a year from now you will not be able to grab Henry + Watkins for him so do it now. I know Green is awesome but getting Henry in a 2TE league is huge and Watkins still has a ton of potential. Easy sell for me.

Huge downgrade at WR. Not worth it, 2 TE or not. Ebron, Kittle or Everett should emerge as decent TE2's. Don't roster chase and give up major value.
