D.Hopkins/J. Ajayi for M.Gordon/D.Freeman/D.Bryant?

[cm56776]

I'm new to dynasty and I'm struggling with evaluating players' value 'long-term' and would appreciate any input/advice.

I've been offered:

Melvin Gordon, Devonta Freeman and Dez Bryant for

Deandre Hopkins and Jay Ajayi

To give you some perspective my WR depth is:

D.Hopkins/A.Brown/A. Green/M. Crabtree/D. Parker/E. Sanders/J. Brown/T. Lockett (the remaining WRs are basically all cuttable)

For RB depth is:

J. Aajyi/L. Miller/A. Abdullah/T. Montgomery/I. Crowell/D. Marting (the remains RBs are basically all cuttable)

Let me know if you think this is a solid trade. I'm hesitant to move Nuk but I know my RB depth is thin.

Thanks!

Hopkins alone is worth way more, no way I do this deal. Not a fan of any of the players you would be receiving.

[Thurston4040]

Hopkins is definitely worth more than this.

[BigBawseRoss]

what other WRs does he have besides Dez? i think if i were getting a younger better wr i would be interested

Pass. Even if this was close, you desperately need Hopkins youth.

I don’t think Hopkins is worth way more than the entire other side, as some are saying. Nuk is anywhere from 1.01 to 1.06 in a startup, depending on who you ask. Gordon and Freeman are both top 12-20 players, depending on who you ask. Ajayi and Dez both have depressed value right now, but Ajayi is probably worth more.

I would still go with Hopkins/Ajayi. It’s not a bad starting offer. See what else the other owner is willing to add. You need help at RB for sure, but need to keep some WR youth too.

Gordon and Freeman are also relatively young - 25 and 26 when the season begins, respectively - and will likely combine for more points than Hopkins/Ajayi while rounding out his roster, and will be around for the next handful of years. Dez seems like an old name-brand throw-in, but could be a serviceable WR2/3, Flex, or bye week/injury replacement.

I like this for deal for your team.

Pass. Hopkins is the 2nd best player in all of dynasty. He's a hold and build around

I would look to move AJG for a lesser WR and an RB2 upgrade. That seems a better move with your team

Agree with this. I would pass but I like Gordon and Freeman and don’t think this is a terrible offer.

[Goddard]

I agree that this is closer than some are making it, but I'd still keep Hopkins. Your depth at WR is ok, but would be below average if you lost Hopkins. I like Gordon and Freeman, but you should be able to get more.

[thomasscheeks]

Hopkins is a tier one player. Rule of thumb is, don't trade tier one players unless you're getting a tier one player in return, or you're getting so much value that you can't possibly turn it down. This isn't a terrible offer, but not one you should consider. Keep Hopkins until someone blows you away with an offer

[Rmurari]

I might do the deal given your strength at receiver but not for Dez. I would want a high 1st next year instead of Dez or I pass (projected). Next years draft is rich in WR talent - N'Keal Harry, Metcalf, etc. I like the upside of Gordon, Freeman is solid and Ajayi is in a rotation with a knee injury waiting to happen

Keep Hopkins.
