AJB versus Akers

[NickGB]

I know AJB Holds the better value, just not sure the trade is right for me team the offer is straight-up AJB for Akers and I'm very tempted to take it. However, this is my roster:

QB: Joe Burrow, Tua Tagovailoa, Teddy Bridgewater, Baker Mayfield, Jordan Love, Trevor Lawrence*

RB: Cam Akers, De'Andre Swift, Johnathan Taylor, Rojo

WR: Odell Beckham Jr, Mike Evans, DJ Moore, Christian Kirk, Ja'Marr Chase*

TE: Kittle, Hurst, Albert O, Brevin Jordan*

What do you think? Smash accept in this situation and never look back or decline it so that I'm not rolling into the season with Swift/Taylor/Rojo as my only viable starting RB's?

AJB >>> Akers , he's a stud, he's young, he's proven he can do it at this level

Yeah, I knew the value was definitely far greater than Akers just wasn't sure that it was the right move for my team at that time. I did accept the trade tho.

When pre season hype is in full swing and brown is doing his thing and you want to move him you could get a better rb in return than Akers at that point. You gained a lot of value imo

AJB's value is somewhere between 1.01 and 1.02. If you think Akers is that valuable, then thats fine, but the market generally has Akers between 1.04-1.07. If you prefer Akers to AJB, then you definitely need a mid 1st on top. That said, you'd be trading a known commodity for two unknowns, which is something I don't recommend.

I was actually on the receiving end of A.J. Brown and traded away Akers for him in a straight-up trade. It was for the team in my sig so I was a little unsure if I should take it because I thought there may be a slight chance I could compete this year and that would leave me thin at RB.

Brown is valued between the 1.01 to the 1.04 range depending on owner.

That is a slam dunk then. I don't think Akers is going to help you win this year, or the risk you'd take on for taking him over AJB, simply isn't worth it.

Need to see how your QBs come along before I'd be confident in that team competing. Definitely taking the better long term asset in AJB here.

Give me akers but it’s close

[StripesOfKC]

AJB by a country mile if it's straight up.

Akers side needs to add

[MyTeam]

The value is so much on the AJB side that I think you have to take it and worry about RBs later. You still have some solid young pieces at RB so you aren't completely screwed.

[Adam_172]

AJB easily here.

I'd think Akers + an early 2nd = AJB

Great trade for you.

For sure, the Quarterback situation is definitely a little questionable but it's got some high-upside talent there and plenty of capital thrown at the position including depth pieces. I'm hoping to see Baker / OBJ get off to a nice start and flip them mid-season.
