POLL: Worth it for Thielen?

Postby Make It Rain » Thu Nov 29, 2018 2:06 pm

For team in signature, I'm looking to consolidate talent for a playoff run and am considering trading two of AJG, Landry, and Cooper for an upgrade at WR

I was offered Thielen for AJG + Cooper. Should I pull the trigger, or is that an overpay?

I would do that quickly and go for the gold.

He's currently the WR1, so I think I'd make that trade as well.

Yup, Thielen "should" be a top 10 dynasty WR moving forward IMO, AJG is on a decline and Coop..... I don't know one week he looks like a replacement level WR the next a stud. Saying that I'd do it, especially as a contender

Thanks for the responses. The other issue is that if I do it, I'd have to start Landry as well, so the other question is whether Thielen/Landry is actually better than AJG/Cooper

Seems long term the AJG/Cooper side has more value, and I'm starting to wonder if short-term it's actually a wash as well. Thielen is a new face, but he's actually already 28, just two years younger than AJG

over the last 5 weeks (4 games for each) Thielen is WR12 ppg and Cooper WR15. 3 points separate them. I think it's ok to expect high production for age 29+30 seasons but this is probably the last time Thielen will have premium value on the trade market. I'd stick with Amari/AJG
