Lamar Miller for Andre Johnson?

[adpar87]

Hi,

another question: I've been offered Andre Johnson, Sam Bradford and 1.08 for Lamar Miller, Philip Rivers and 2.02.

It's a 10 team-dynasty, my team is as follows:

QB - Griffin, Rivers
RB - Gore, Forte, Bradshaw, Miller, Hunter
WR - Bryant, D. Thomas, Bowe, Michael Floyd
TE - Gresham, Myers
(plus IDP)

I own these picks for 2013: 1.02, 1.07, 2.02, 2.04, 2.06 and 2.07

Would you do that trade? I'm not sure since I could have three top WR, a nice WR4/trade chip in Bowe plus the possible selection of an young RB to replace Miller with the 1.02. On the other hand, I'm afraid that Miller could turn into a stud and eventually I'll regret a trade. Any thoughts on this one? And would you keep Hunter or cut him for roster space? We only have 25 roster spots with IDP, so there's not a lot of bench spots and I'm toying with the idea of taking some high upside-rookies instead.

As always, tanks for any comments!

1 QB or 2QB?

1 QB. Roster Spots are QB, 2RB, 2WR, WR/TE Flex, TE

If it's standard scoring, I'd definitely keep Miller.
If it's PPR, I'd still probably keep Miller, but see if you can trade some combination of Bradshaw, Hunter, 1.07, or 2.02 for Andre.

You need youth at RB much more than you need starters at WR.

Wouldn't do it.

You don't need WR, which is the position that you'd be upgrading if you made this trade (at the expense of your RB depth too).

If you really want to wheel & deal, try turning Miller + pick(s) for an upgrade at the TE position.

I'd keep Miller. You don't need an additional WR and very possible RB ends up being your weakness with Gore/Forte aging.

I agree on the thought to trade for a TE. You should be able to turn a 2nd into someone like Pitta or Olsen without much struggle.

Thanks for the advice, I guess it's better to keep Miller (it's non-PPR). I'm looking to flip some picks into young RBs and a TE (Pitta will be in the draftpool, for example).

I wouldnt, you dont need Andre and with aging RB's nothing is certain you just have to hope Miller pans out... all you have to do is draft one of the top 4 RBs at 1.2 and the best WR on the board at 1.7 , then bpa after that 2.2 and 2.7 could still get some good potential there

your team is good enough and with 4 top 20 picks none of them are forced to produce now so I would try and get young potential talent behind your starters you have now

[adpar87]

Yup, seems like the way to go. I'm still in negotiations to turn 1.02 and 2.04 in 1.04 and 1.09 so I could get someone like Lacy (or whoever will be available)/Patterson/Michael in the first round and Pitta/Latavius Murray in the 2nd.
