Was offered Thielen for Davis but theres a twist

Postby Derekrussell99 » Wed Aug 15, 2018 7:38 am

Was offered Adam Thielen and Chandler Jones (listed as DL) for Corey Davis and Austin Ekeler (he has Gordon).

The twist is I have Cousins and Diggs already, I’m torn on having Thielen AND Diggs in case Cousins has a bad game. That’s a lot of pieces on the same team. I also think Thielen is better than Davis and having Jones gives an upgrade at DL

Thielen is the better player, I’d take Thielen. Not ideal, but you still have Hilll & Baldwin, so you should be ok.

Davis is worth more than Thielen to me.

How valuable is Chandler Jones? Davis > Thielen by about an early 2nd to me, so the value is probably close assuming Jones is a top-tier DL worth a 2nd. But given that you do own Diggs, I'd probably pass.

Davis side. He should add more to sweeten the deal. Also, trade Theilen once you get him

I was thinking that also, Jones could be a top DL in our scoring and trading Thielen occoured to me also

Depends on DL Scoring to me.

Jones is a near lock top 5 DE. In my leagues at 3 points per tackle, 1.5 per assist and 4 points for sacks and fumbles he would be by far the best player in that deal.

I like Davis a lot more than Thielen long term.

I’d rather have Davis. I can understand taking Thielen if strongly competing though.

I am with you also, I try avoiding having 2 major WR from same team

I really like this trade for you. Thielen is going to have the bigger year and I think he's more valuable right now. Not to mention Chandler Jones is a top 10 DL going forward and is a big upgrade for you. I'd make the trade and try to deal Diggs or Thielen for another WR.

I prefer Davis as well but you are getting an upgrade at DL and trading away an unproven guy (Davis) for a proven guy in Thielen. Then as others have said you should be able to trade away Diggs or Thielen.
