Trade on the table,
I give Amari Cooper
I get Lamar Jackson and 2020 2nd.

PPR 1 Q/R/W/T and 2 flex R/W/T

Dalton and Winston
Barkley Chubb Cook Gordon
MT, Cooper jjaws Boykin, Harmon Preston Williams
Mark Andrews Chris Herndon.

I have 2 2020 1st. Mine and 0-2 team(top 6 pick for sure).

Losing Amari hurts my depth on bye weeks. But outside of that don’t see me ever playing him over Thomas or the 3 running backs.

Lots of Jackson posts today. In a 1 QB league, I think the value is still on the Cooper side but I'm very high on Jackson as other posts have shown ha ha.

As long as the 1st isn't projected very late, then yes, I'd take that.

I would actually take Lamar.

Now obviously QB is typically less valuable in 1QB, but that's because there are so many options that will all produce at about the same level. This means that true difference makers at the position are rare in this format, but Lamar is one of those select few that can make a real difference at the QB position in fantasy. Similar to how Kelce and Ertz have been pretty easily the top 2 TEs and carry a lot of value due to their positional advantage, I believe Mahomes and Lamar are above the rest of the field at their positions and warrant a higher level of investment over most other options. Now this will probably result in a bit of a hit short term because you don't have much to step into Amari's vacated spot, but I think it's worth it to get Lamar for the long-term.

See that is kind of what I was thinking. I am pretty stacked with my starters. Due to line up format, I don’t even start Cooper. He is strictly bye week replacement or next man up injury wise. By adding Lamar, I would feel even better at my shot at a title. Granted, I need to stay healthy. I do have Melvin Gordon and 2 2020 1st 1 2020 2/3 (would have 2x 2nd, if I traded)also if I had to move later in season for Wr.

Right now I sent him a counter of Amari and 20 2nd mine for Lamar and his 20 1st.

I would only do deal if you get back Lamar and early 1st. Cooper >>> Lamar in 1QB, regardless of who is currently starting for you at QB. The upgrade at QB is not nearly worth the points you lose to Amari on bye weeks, injuries, etc.
