Kelce for Mixon

Postby mlynarcm » Mon Jun 18, 2018 4:21 am

So I know that the two are just about equal in value, but doe it make sense for my team 1. I have Ebron, Eifert and Kittle as TEs and I'll have Mixon, Mckinnon, Guice and Penny as RBs (I only have to play one with my WRs). So is it worth upgrading my TE ?

Give: Mixon
Get: Kelce
Team 1
12 team league, PPR
Start 1QB, 1-3RBs, 1-3WRs, 1 TE
QB: D. Prescott, K. Cousins,
RB: D. Cook, M. Gordon, T. Cohen, D. Guice, R. Penny J. Mckinnon, L. Murray, C. Edmonds, D. Harris
WR: O. Beckham, D. Adams, K. Allen, J. Edleman, O. Johnson
TE: E. Ebron, G. Kittle

Team 2
Start 1QB, 1-3RBs, 1-3WRs, 1 TE
QB: Mayfield, Winston,
RB: D. Cook, N. Chubb, K. Johnson, G. Bernard, N. Hines
WR: O. Beckham, J. Jones, A. Brown D. Funchess, Z. Jones, D. Moncrief, M Bryant
TE: G. Kittle, E. Ebron, R.Gronkowski

I like Mixon...He’s so much younger, he could bust, but he will defiantly get his chance this year...I’ll always take a good RB over a good TE...

I would keep Mixon. Fair deal. Kelce gets new QB, new OC and Watkins added to mix. The age factor plays roll as well. Kelce has the superior resume.

agree with you. equal. you can make an argument for either side. I had depth on my side and I decided to trade my depth for a top 2 TE and never have to worry about playing matchups.

I like both, but I think I'd keep Mixon for that team.

Kelce is an elite TE. Mixon is not an elite RB. For the purposes of your team I'm not sure it matters. What you gain at TE, you lose at RB.
If you can't leave at least a 20% tip, you can't afford to eat out.

Any chance you could trade the 1.03 for Kelce instead? I’d try that, even if you have to include one of your current TEs to get it done.

Gonna go against the grain here and say Kelce side. I'm not nearly as high on Mixon as most people though, he didn't look special to me last season and got outplayed by Gio behind the same line. He could also lose a ton of value if he doesn't meet some very high expectations this season while Kelce is a stable asset who gives a solid positional advantage.

In a start 1 RB, with your roster makeup, I would take the proven stud here in Kelce. Draft 2 rookie RB's at 2/3, and start McKinnon nearly every week at RB. If Ebron/Eifert take off you can always churn them or trade Kelce, who will easily maintain his value compared to Mixon, who's value will drop quite a bit if he doesn't hit this year.

I'm taking Kelce pretty easily. You have 1.02/1.03 which gives you 2 of any of the RBs not named Barkley. This gives you an elite TE and possibly two rbs better than Mixon. Can't draft a Kelce type at 1.02.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here, it's Kelce and it's not close.

Kelce would of been the RB 11 last yr with his stats, Mixon will be lucky to even get close to those numbers, and you're getting that from Kelce in the TE slot!

You can only start 1 RB in this league and it's ppr, the answer is obviously Kelce and I'm surprised more can't see that. Maybe it's time to go Kelce shopping in my leagues...
