That's a good price for Zeke, but I'm not sure it's the best move for your team. I don't think your WR corps can support the loss of Thielen in a 3WR setup.

I agree with this, but also thing that is cheap for zeke, and you can potentially move mack or something else to get a decent wr3

That is something I had considered, potentially moving Mack after.

Any issue in having both Zeke and Amari in the lineup?

This does leave you very thin at WR. I think the price is too good to pass up. Deal with your WR depth after getting Zeke.

I’d make this move to get an elite RB, and it’s a decent price. Plus it gives you insurance if Gurley’s situation worsens. Also, trading Mack or Williams for another WR is an option. I wouldn’t worry about having two players Zeke/Cooper in lineup. I think Theilen numbers could drop off if Cook stays healthy.

I don't care about how it works with your current roster/lineup, this is far too good a value for Zeke to pass up. Take the deal and get to work moving around some other pieces to form your team around Zeke.

Agree with the sentiment that it might not be the best move for your team specifically, but the value is way too good to pass up IMO.

RB: Barkley, Zeke
WR: Julio, Amari, Edelman

TE: Ertz
K: Gould
DEF: Cowboys

Sub Options:
QB: Brady, Manning
RB: Hines, Dexter Williams
WR: Robinson, Boykin, Cain
TE: Warring, Sample
DEF: 49ers, Chiefs

That's a 100% contending lineup in a 14 teamer and you still have a 2020 first (albeit late). I'd do this and then look to package Mack or DWill with Amari for WR upgrade to pair with Julio. Roll with Edelman this year, who is more than fine as a WR3 on a contender, and use your '20 1st to draft a WR. With

Take Zeke, easy to find a playable WR3.

Also, you could consider moving Gurley once he is playing and people forget about the knee.

But I wouldn't do this. You're going to need another receiver in a 3wr lineup. Mack wont get you a good enough receiver to make up for the loss of Theilen

Marlon Mack is currently being drafted ahead of guys like Golladay, DJ Moore, AJ Green, Chris Godwin and many more, you can get a good WR for him.

I would much rather have Zeke/Godwin than Mack/Thielen, don't over think the lineup too much when the value of the deal is so high.
