I tried trading JuJu + Hyde for 1.02 (Guice) and 2.01 last week but the Guice owner is a Redskins fan and he has no intentions of moving him. I took that same package and offered it to the Mixon owner for Mixon and 2.05. The owner is interested but trade talks have not moved forward. I'd be targeting Dante Pettis at 2.05 but who knows how the draft will play out.

What do you guys think of the offer? Should I stand pat and trade for RBs as the season approaches or make a move now and hope Mixon develops into the RB1 we all envisioned?

I think the value is on the Juju side, but with that team, I would take Mixon and hope he doesn't play like a turd again this year

Agreed. My league values RBs far more than WRs which is why I have stocked up on the latter. It doesn't help that everything I read about JuJu paints him as a future top 12 WR. Anthony Amico just tweeted out the following this morning:

"Of WRs with at least 50 targets in 2017, there were 8 players with a RACR of at least 1.00. JuJu Smith-Schuster was the only player of the 8 with an aDOT over 10.0 (10.3), and he had an aDOT 1.7 yards higher than the next closest player (Cooper Kupp, 8.6)"
