Pretty straight forward, .5 ppr league, 2rb/2WR/2Flex, team 3 in sig.

I drafted Mixon at 1.3, after trading back from 1.1 for 1.3, Parker, and 1.7 (M Williams).

Wasn't considering trading Mixon at first, but ended up moving Alshon for M Gordon, and now I have pretty decent RB depth. I was offered Sammy for Mixon, would you take this deal given my team? I have 3 1sts next year, one should be the 1.1 or 1.2.

Thanks for the input, I'm very back and forth on this deal since I'm high on Mixon

I'd value the players about equally at this point. And so would suggest going with whomever you like most.

The thing with a guy like Sammy is that he has basically spent all his "good will" value at this point. Very much like Keenan Allen has. If Sammy loses significant time again this season, then his value will plummet.

Mixon, on the other hand, doesn't really have much "good will" value to start with.

You have a fun team there, loaded with possibilities. If you want Watkins, take him. If you like Mixon more, then let it ride. Just make sure to enjoy the process.

I stick w Mixon......I like Sammy but the injuries concern me....I think there is no rush on this deal get to camp and see I think Mixon's value goes up....as he gets more time and if Sammy is Healthy then go for it...if he is still dinged...you may save yourself.

I'd rather have Mixon. If you're going to trade him for a WR, you can probably add a little more and get someone better/safer.

I'm sticking with Mixon here. He isn't a sure thing but as we've seen neither is Sammy. If you'd prefer to move Mixon for a WR aim higher even if you have to add.

I'm going Mixon here. Think they're close in value and I'm giving him a positional advantage.

Mixon by a hair for me. Mostly due to positional scarcity. Both have elite upside though.

I'd pass. I'm not sure Sammy is or will be healthy, Buffalo didn't even pick up his 5 th year option. You have a top young team, keep building with all of your picks next season.

poll says Sammy, comments say mixon. mixon honestly seems safer but rb historically don't hold value like wrs and Sammy is a top option but with injury history and durability concerns

Sammy for me. We haven't even seen Mixon on the field. At least we know Sammy is a stud when he plays. While I think Mixon is going to be good, he is still simply an educated guess. Mixon is being valued as if he already has had his rookie RB1 season under his belt. It's just too soon. Need to see it on the field before I'd pay that price.

Mixon. NFL teams tell you how they view players. If Sammy was a sure thing, they'd have picked up his 5th year option. Bengals spent a mid second round pick on a guy who was on video knocking out a young woman, they obviously like him.

I'd say it's a fair trade either way, really a preference call here. I'd lean Mixon slightly.
