Trade Laviska Shenault/Van Jefferson for LB help

[HerbUrban]

I'm in a tackle heavy 16 team IDP league and I'm looking to upgrade my LB corps. A rebuilding team is offering Jayon Brown and Micah Kiser for Shenualt and V. Jefferson. I'm loaded at WR. Is this good value?

[whodatbama]

What other waiver wire options do you have for LB?

look for sleepers: Ja'whaun Bentley, TJ Edwards, Takitaki, Kenny Young,

I would like to save the young WRs that you just drafted. LBs can be found every year because schemes change with different coaching staffs.

[Team Tacos]

No. Definitely don't do that trade.

[HerbUrban]

Thanks. I’ll be patient and work the wire. I just added Josey Jewell today after Todd Davis went down. I rolled out James Burgess, Will Compton and Austin Calitro in the finals last year. I’ll try adding cheap pieces along the way and hold on to my long term assets.

Jayon Brown would be a solid addition for you. Since you are so stacked at wr, I would offer either one of them for Brown. As someone who plays in a tackle-heavy 16 team league, I don't think I would trade away Brown for an unproven rookie, so if you can get it done, do it.

I’d be open to moving Van for a LB if you wanted something leading into the year, but would hold Shenault myself.

Yeah, tough one. In 12 team setups, the stock answer is no. But it's different in larger leagues that are tackle-heavy and you're trying to start four linebackers every week. If I could get a little something more I might do it, or explore a one-for-one for Jayon Brown.

I'm in a similar league (32 teams, 2 copies of each player, tackle-heavy scoring and start 11 on defense). Within the past couple of weeks I offered Bryan Edwards for Jayon Brown to both teams that had him, and got rejected both times. It's hard to pry away young, proven, 3-down LBs in leagues like this. Best way to sometimes get them is to do a really big deal involving multiple offensive and defensive players.

[HerbUrban]

I would be more inclined to make a deal if it wasn’t for the uncertainly involving COVID and playing a full season. I’ll try to move Jefferson for a solid IDP starter since I don’t view him as a high end long term asset. Think I’ll hold on to Shenault since he could be something special in 2021.

There is next to nothing left on the waiver.

It’s mostly NFL FA and guys buried on their depth charts.

I traded Van Jefferson for Micah Kiser. Keeping Shenault.
