Cooks for Mixon?

Postby Couldbepro » Tue May 08, 2018 4:29 pm

Well the 3 team trade didn't go through and I am trying to move Cooks. I am just not a big fan going forward but see a lot of people value him higher than me. Is Brandin Cooks for Joe Mixon a good deal? Team is listed below
Team 1 (12 Team, PPR, 1 QB, 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, 2 Flex(WR/RB/TE), K, D/ST
QB - Carson Wentz, Jameis Winston, Tyrod Taylor
RB - Todd Gurley, Christian McCaffrey, Derrick Henry, Tevin Coleman, Corey Clement, Devontae Booker, Peyton Barber, Samaje Perine, Ronald Jones, Jordan Wilkins
WR - Mike Evans, Stefon Diggs, DeVante Parker, Corey Coleman, Chris Godwin, Trent Taylor, Carlos Henderson, James Washington, D.J. Chark, Anotonio Callaway
TE - Rob Gronkowski, O.J. Howard, Jake Butt, Adam Shaheen

Most people probably prefer Cooks but I'm super high on Mixon so i'd rather have him. Maybe you can try to get something to go along with Mixon?

RB: SBarkley, DSwift, CAkers, JMixon, AJDillon, LMurray, DarWilliams, GBernard
WR: SDiggs, ACooper, BAiyuk, JJones, LShenault, BCooks, KToney, KHamler, VJefferson
TE: JSmith, ISmith, ZErtz

I think it's fair, but I'd rather have Mixon.

Mixon has way way more value than Brandin Cooks. there is no way that trade would go down.

I'd rather have Cooks. Has Mixon proven he's worth his price tag? He didn't exactly blow it up and Jeremy Hill/Gio siphoned off touches and production from him.
Cooks is coming into the prime of his career with 3 straight 1,082 + yard seasons and 7+ TDs and still 24 years old.

How is Mixon "way way more value than Brandin Cooks".
Is it a shortage of young dynasty RBs that is propping up Mixons value? It certainly isn't his earth shattering rookie year production.

Wow. I have mixon on multiple teams but have cooks on only one team. I have no idea people thought so highly of him. there is no one in my league that would trade a running back of any value for him. maybe that's why I think the value difference is so much.

Cooks > Mixon

I'm not sure what Mixon has done to be treated like a top RB. Cooks has been a borderline top 10 WR over multiple seasons if not in the top 10. You need to get a piece back with Mixon.
If you can't leave at least a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat out.

This response is baffling and I own both...how mixons value could be so far above cooks is beyond me

Cooks has better short term value for sure to me plus it's insulated with Brady. Mixon has talent for sure but I'd feel more comfortable with Cooks unless I'm RB needy.

Agree with this, and it’s not even an indictment of Cooks. After suffering through a 2017 season owning the most talented WR on the Rams and watching Goff turn him into a WR3, I wouldn’t even think about trading a promising young RB like Mixon to get back into that maddening situation.

I have this as even and team dependent. Looking at yours I'd go with Cooks, your RB depth is slightly better than your WR
