This is the place for team advice - should I make this trade, should I draft that player, etc.

Try and trade away D Freeman and Lindsay or stay put?

Postby Randomguess » Thu Jul 11, 2019 2:14 pm

12 man league, non PPR, 1 QB
QB: Allen
RB: Michel, Lindsay, D Freeman
WR: Hill, Kupp, Tate, Washington, Foster
TE: Kittle, Doyle

2019 picks: 1.03, 1.05, 1.06, 1.10, 1.12, 2.03, 3.03, 4.03
2020 picks: 4 1sts, 2 2nds, 1 3rd, 1 4th

I took over this team a year ago and have gutted it. I'm considering trying to trade away Freeman and Lindsay to teams I would project to finish in the low to middle range of 2020 draft (pick 4-8). Would you stand pat with this team or would you continue to try and trade away one or both of those 2 RBs for more 2020 1st round picks? Tate and Doyle are both cuttable, but would love to get something in return for them. If I keep all the picks I have, I envision picking Harry, Murray, Hockenson, JJAW, another WR or RB at 2.03. I'm fine tanking this year to grab the best RB next year, especially if Hill is suspended.

If Hill doesn't get suspended then I'd say you're team looks decent. If you consider yourself a rebuild then I'd encourage moving current RB2s (RB3/4 in the case of Freeman without a Lindsay injury). They could fall off the face of the planet tomorrow and you're not getting any benefit from them unless you're competing.

I would move both for the right price with your build. Your team has potential, but not sure it's a true contender.

I don't think teams who are projected to finish in the low to mid range would have much interest in Freeman. If you're selling him, you're going to need to move him to a contender and a late 1st is probably what you should expect to get in return anyway. As for Lindsay, his value is all over the place and depends on how the owners in your league view him. If you're not sold on him and want to move him, shop him around and get a sense of what his value is and what people are willing to pay. If I were you, I'd hold for now and see how my team starts the season. If you're competitive, then just hold both guys and try to win. If not, then you can still sell them during the season and probably even get more in return then.

I'm low on Freeman and Lindsay actually, Freeman cant stay healthy and I have zero faith in undrafted dudes longterm. I'd definitely try to sell them both with your team.

Sell Lindsay and keep Freeman. Take a RB at 1.03 to replace him

This is my thought.

My earlier comment erroneously thought you were talking about Royce Freeman. Devonta Freeman is certainly a likely RB2, possibly and RB1. Id be willing to trade both for firsts but might hold Freeman for a few games in the hopes he gains some value back

Ok, appreciate all the feedback. I'll gauge people's interest but try and sell when they are most valuable during the season if no one is willing to give up a 1st
