Is it crazy to not trade for Travis Kelce?

Postby joeday » Sat Nov 18, 2023 9:11 am

So the Kelce owner reached out to me and asked if I would have interest in Kelce for Tua and McBride. On paper it sounds like an interesting deal. My starting QB would be Purdy after the deal. The more I thought about it though, the less interested I’m becoming. McBride looks like he could be the real deal and Tua has been really solid this year. There is also a “don’t rock the boat” thing I’m worried about. Am I being crazy?

It’s a 14 team, non ppr league. Here are my lineups:

Before - Tua, CMC, Jacobs, AJB, Lamb, Keenan, McBride

After - Purdy, CMC, Jacobs, AJB, Lamb, Keenan, Kelce

Thoughts?

Honestly I may just roll with tua and McBride. That combo probably nets you more points and for a longer duration than purdy and kelce

Tua is a pretty big piece in a 14 teamer. I can see the appeal here but also waiting to see how McBride progresses before the deadline.
