Lamar to Hurts

[tstafford]

What would you feel you need to add to Lamar to acquire Hurts in 1QB, 4 pt/TD PPR league?

[YouMightDieTryin]

SF? A mid 1st would probably be what it takes to get the deal done.
1QB? Early 2nd, but probably late 1st as the 2nd doesn't move the needle much.

All preference based of course.

I would love to be the Hurts seller in this situation. That’s a total winning dynasty move. Sell Hurts for Lamar plus a first.

[gogobradyarm]

I don’t think there’s a gap here. Recency bias at its finest. That said, given market perception, maybe a 2nd+.

[timeEd32]

Yeah, I'm not paying to go from Lamar to Hurts.

I could see the Hurts manager thinking a solid add would be needed, but in a 1 QB format, anything more than a 2nd would be an overpay. Jackson will be fine. As a Jackson manager in a 1 QB format, I would be more than fine holding Jackson based on what would likely need to be added.

Quick answer -- I probably wouldn't do this trade as a Hurts owner and a contender (see why below), but it would take a 1st for me as Hurts owner. I think most people would think thats an overpay fwiw.

Maybe this is considered a hot take, but this is how I feel about any QB who is predominantly effective because of their legs...

Once you start stringing together injuries, your value is going down hill. The QB no longer wants to run because they are getting hurt (doesn't matter how they got hurt), and they are more prone to injury after the injuries start. Lamar is a actually an extreme example because I don't believe he can be good AT ALL without his running threat. Basically, I think you'd be buying a depreciating asset at this point. #hottake?

So LJax has been in the league longer and won't be good at all with his recent injuries, but Hurts is younger with no injuries, so isn't this improving his team?
In a 1 qb league I'd be fine with LJax here, but a lot depends on your backup. I do see him passing more this year and running less. They finally have weapons for him beside Andrews. I wouldn't add a first, and only a late 2nd here if needed, but I think that is a overpay, but if that's your guy then get it done.

I'm confused by your question -- not sure what being in the league comment was suppose to mean. For clarity, I was saying since my team actually has Hurts and I'm a contender I wouldn't trade away Hurts for Lamar regardless if given a first, but if I wasn't a contender, it would take an extra 1st (this answers his question).

If I actually did this in my league, I would probably then just trade Lamar as part of a rebuild because of what I said about him.

[tstafford]

Kind of sounds like Hurts might be a sell high based on this thread. (Or maybe Lamar is a buy low)

Most folks are saying that Lamar side would need to add a pick but that there isn't much difference b/w the players. If that's right, then selling Hurts sounds like the move.

[Jigga94]

I would prefer Hurts straight up, but if I had Lamar, I wouldn't add much of anything to move up
