Trade advice RSO: Gio for White

[Tiim]

In our RSO league, I was offered Gio for Kevin White, both on 3 year deals of about equal money. I believe I can be in the mix for the championship this year, so I'm looking for immediate help, which I'm not sure White will provide consistently. On the other hand, who knows where Gio will be in 3 years...Would Gio+1st be reasonable to ask for White? Too high/too low?

If I had to count on either one for this year or the short term then I would certainly take Gio. White will be battling for playing time this year with a head coach that just doesn't play offensive rookies much. Next year the Bears will probably have a rookie QB in the house. Basically with both on 3 year contracts I think you'll get the most out of Gio in that timeframe as by the time White will probably break out you can't keep him anymore.

Is this PPR? If so, I would gladly take Gio over White for the next three years. If not, then how helpful is Gio to your championship run this year: starter or bench guy?

It's non-PPR, would be for my flex spot. Have Lacy+Gore and Antonio Brown+AJG as starters. QB Matt Ryan, Olsen at TE.

Who are the other RBs and WRs on your roster?

Well, in non-PPR Gio certainly loses a lot of his luster and even with a season that I don't expect White to do all that much, they might score closer then you'd think in non-PPR. That would make me lean toward White just for the long term, but it's close.

Doug Martin - Rashad Jennings - Boom Herron - James Starks - Christine Michael - Duke Johnson
Decker - Harvin - Jaelen Strong

I made the trade btw, essentially White+3rd for Gio+1st.
Have 3 firsts now, I'll probably try to flip one of those for another WR.

Given your roster, I'd probably take the trade straight-up. Getting a first as well (and giving up a third) makes it, IMO, a no-brainer. Nice work!

Great trade including the first rounder.
