TE Woes (I have none) HELP

I have no TE depth, and although I'm 9-1 this scares me. In fact my only lose came as i got such bad points from my TE.
However, as the rest of the league knows that TE is really the only area I need to improve this season they are all holding me over a barrel and asking for silly trades.

I am keen for Kittle but the owner is not budging from the following three proposals

1) Kittle FOR straight up Amari Cooper
2) Kittle FOR Lindsey and my likely late 1st 2019
3) Kittle, Zurerlein and mid/early 2019 second FOR Cooper, my likely late 1st 2019 and Scoop

Are these all far too pricey? Or can I afford it with my squad depth? If so which is more tempting? I think value wise the kittle for Lindsey+first comes up roughly even on trade calculators, but I am worried about what it does to my depth.

Alternately I could target a another RB from another team for Cooper and then take the Lindsey and first deal. However, no one wants to trade with me as I'm 9-1.

Any suggestions?


QB Mahomes, Manning
RB Kamara, Hunt, A.Colins, Lindsay, Miller, Bibbs, Wilkins, Clement
WR, A. Brown, Thielen, Cooks, Laundry, Cooper, J. Brown, D. Moore, Humphries, Pettis Hurns, Coleman
TE MacDonald, Uzomah, Eifert (IR) Seferian-Jenkins (IR)
K Gostkowski Succop

I personally like option #2 as well. With R Freeman coming back Lindsey's touches could go down, maybe pushing Lindsey's value down closer to that of Miller. Plus you already have Kamara and Hunt.

I feel that the same time next year Kittle will again be a solid top 5 TE and added to the top tier along with Ertz/Kelce/Gronk. Grab Kittle now before its too late.

Cooper could have a new life in Big D plus he's only 24.

If you want a good player and believe in Kittle, you need to give up some premium assets. I don't think any of those offers are vastly overpriced.

I’d look elsewhere if they asking prices are that high.

If you can get Kittle straight up for Cooper, do it. You’ve seen the best of Cooper. It’s just not that good. Kittle is barely scratching the surface. He’s playing really well w/ every QB. Accept #1, & go hunt for a championship.

This completely depends on the Kittle owners team. Sure, on paper you could say it's a fair offer, but as a Kittle owner who is competing for a championship this year, all of those offers are instant declines for me. None of them make my team better.

Kittle is currently the TE3, and is young. He's going to be a top 5TE for years to come. His value is sky high right now. If you want him, you are going to have to give up something like Cooper and a 1st. And again, it's going to depend on the Kittle owner's team.

Man, you need to read... these are all offers from the Kittle owner

#1 was the right choice OP. Good job. #3 gave me a chuckle though, that he wanted to swap late 1st and early 2nd for kickers lol

Interesting. I would have done #2. Either way you should be happy.
