I guess that's what Gurley should cost....but it looks like you took a massive hit to your WRs ... not sure if I would have done it in your place but it's not terrible.

I think you probably overpaid by one piece and I really don't get why. You won't be close to competing in a 10 team league unless its super shallow starting reqs and you blew up your nice young core that you were building around. 75% of your team is rookie or 2nd year but you made a win now move. Maybe if you walk us through your thought process it will make more sense?

I think it was decent.
A lot of this is going to hinge on Ridley in my opinion. If he can throw up a good season for you, it will really soften the loss of Hill for you.

Thanks for the feedback. My thought process was really just studs win championships in 10 team leagues. I've got Wilson, Barkley, Gurley, and Nuk, with Henry on IR for next year. Davis and guice are question marks currently, as is the 2019 1st. I'm a big tyreek fan, but I see it personally as trading 3 question marks and tyreek for Gurley and a question mark. I could be looking at this all wrong though, I freely admit that.

Value wise, you may have given up a little much. But...

1. You got the best player in the deal.
2. You gave up two pieces that have never played an NFL down and a guy that had a poor rookie year.

Good deal IMO.

I don't really like it. I think you hurt your team more than you helped it.

Yeah that was an error on my part. Working right now so I put the starting reqs up from memory and added 1 flex too many. It's only 2 flex, and the superflex. Thanks to you and everyone else for feedback. When I get off tonight I'll respond more in depth to any comments that need it.

I never understood why people would trade for the #1 scoring RB from the previous year? I don't think that has been replicated in over a decade. In theory Gurley is a depreciating asset, he will never be worth as much as he is this offseason as he will be next or the year after unless he is the RB1 2-3 years in a row which never happens. It goes against evry principle of buying low and selling high.

Good trade. Guice, Davis and the 1st May NEVER pan as above average fantasy producers. You got the best player in the league currently. Nice young core of studs to build around. It would hurt to ship off that much potential, but this is a head over heart move.

Thanks for the feedback. When I made this trade I was not expecting Gurley to be #1 for the next few years. I do expect him to be in the upper tier of backs though, which is why I got him. His value this time next year may not be as high as it is now, but I didn't get him to flip him. And if he has another good season next year, he may be out of reach for trades so I decided to pull the trigger now.

Thanks for the feedback. It hurt to let Tyreek go, but it's hard to pass up Gurley.
