Offered choice of JJAW or Isabella for Diontae Johnson?

Postby StripesOfKC » Tue Oct 29, 2019 3:30 pm

8 Team 32 Man Rosters 0.5 PPR

Was offered a pick of either JJ Arcega Whiteside or Andy Isabella for my Diontae Johnson straight up?

In our startup (first year), Isabella and JJAW went around 20th-21st round and Diontae was not drafted (picked him up off waivers just after the draft), but I can't help but think that, despite the superior pedigree for the other two, Johnson has had a worse situation and looked a lot better than the other two both by the eye test and production.

Would it be crazy to reject?
I don't know if it matters but I am a contender and we have deep starting lineups so I might have Diontae as my 3rd FLEX for this week with Kupp and MT's byes.

I like Johnson more based on what we have seen. He is showing he can play in the league and has a nice role.

Johnson is the #2 wr while the other 2 aren't playing much. Especially for a contender you want the one that is already producing and showing he can be more.

I'd want something coming back with either of those guys if moving Johnson.

Wow this got way more evenly split than it started. Any more thoughts?

Johnson based on what we have seen so far. He is clear #2 now.

Johnson as he looks the part and is being utilized. Should be worth more than both other options by year end.

Johnson looks to have stepped into Juju's former role with aplomb. I like both JJAW and Isabella long term, but how long do you wanna wait for them to have the level of involvement Johnson already has?

I'd hold through this week if you need Johnson to get you through the bye. After that tho I'd try and get something added to JJAW. JJ was drafted and is being groomed to be the WR1 in Philly next year. I'd rather have the WR1 with Wentz over the WR2 with QB?? next year.

I think you are a year early on JJAW. I think he has the highest ceiling and most talent of the players in this poll, but Phi has both Alshon and Jackson signed to big contracts that they can't get out of until after next year (Jackson) or after 2021 (Alshon). Best case for JJAW is 2021 ends up playing out like the old Bears teams with JJAW playing the Brandon Marshal role and Alshon playing the Alshon role. Worst case is he never really gets a chance while in Phi and never amounts to anything at all. I don't expect much before 2021 either way though.

Give me Johnson. He's already showing well, while the other two are having a rough time getting involved.

I still think Ben comes back next year, but even if he doesn't it seems like Johnson has good connection with Rudolph.
