Zeke offer

[Faulkner13]

Apologies as I posted some versions of this trade already but now that I have a firm offer, I wanted to get some opinions as I'm very torn on what to do.

Randall Cobb/Laquon Treadwell/Michael Thomas (NO)
for
Ezekiel Elliott/Darron Lee

I know that I could add a 2017 4th (his best 2017 pick) or a player like Shane Vereen, if I wanted to. I also can (and probably will) take Lee out so if you don't have a lot of IDP opinions, don't let it get too complicated.

Edit: just wanted to add that I only need to start one RB every week and I'm normally a zero RB guy.

I've reached out to most guys in the league and I had hoped to come away with a definite WR1 for Zeke but that doesn't seem to be in the cards right now. This is probably the best deal I'll get and I think it's pretty aggressive. That said, it's the opposite of what I've been trying to do which is consolidate my roster and free up slots for our auction.

I also think Zeke is going to be great and his value will only increase once the season starts. But should I cash in now and upgrade my WRs in a significant way?

Choo choo mother truckers...

Edit for clarity: Cobb side easy

Personally its Zeke for me. You already have a lot of WR depth and your RBs look bare behind Gurley without Zeke. I am also not a huge believer in that trio of WRs you would be getting. I see WR 2 ceilings for the lot of them. If no one wants to pay up now thats fine, wait till Zeke goes off for a couple 30 point games and try then. Should get much better offers then over now.

cobb side to me

Zeke side for me, but I'm not high on Cobb, I'd try for better

[apti]

I'm usually not about selling high end assets for a bunch of pieces, but this is one that I would absolutely take the Cobb/Treadwell/Thomas side. The potential upside there is huge.

Not near enough value in return for Zeke, IMO

[The Fantasy Feud]

Oh cmon

[Spongehack]

Great value in return for Zeke, however, you are hurting at RB. You would definitely need to flip a WR for a RB if you did this trade. I donno though, having Gurley and Zeke will put you at a big advantage at RB for 8+ years. I'd hold tight if I had them both.

[Alex116]

Zeke side for me. You say you're a 0 RB guy? Well, with Zeke and Gurley, you will be a 2 RB guy soon enough and you still have enough depth at WR to get by.

[Gtdano_14]

If I'm reading this correctly, you can start up to 3 QBs? You need to trade for QBs not WRs...

[Missile]

Fair deal. I personally take the Cobb Side.

No one is likely trading a QB right now and there are 6 of them in our free agent auction so I'll add guys like Brees, Romo, or Cutler then.

Appreciate you reading the league requirements though and offering relevant advice.

Got it. Thanks.

I declined the trade. He immediately offered again but we've agreed to keep chatting until the auction.
