Trade Melvin Gordon for Ruggs+?

Postby songintheair77 » Mon Aug 10, 2020 11:26 am

The Lindsay owner in my league reached out to me about Gordon. First, he wanted me to offer him something for Lindsay, but we couldn't really work anything out, then he offered me the following for Gordon:

I give:
Melvin Gordon

I get:
Henry Ruggs (or N'Keal Harry, my choice)
Marlon Mack
Tarik Cohen

Team in sig, 0.5 PPR, but we have combined yardage bonuses, maybe making Cohen a bit more valuable. I just lost Guice, so I'm not sure if I should give up Gordon as well, but this seems like a pretty strong offer.

Thoughts?
Format - 12-team, keep forever, 0.5 PPR (1.0 PPR for TE), starts QB/2RB/2WR/TE/FLEX/K
QB: Russ, Darnold, Jones
RB: Mixon, Gibson, Henry, Carson, Tarik (IR), Darrynton Evans, Gio Bernard, Rashaad Penny, Deejay Dallas
WR: Keenan, Odell, Robert Woods, Robby Anderson, TY Hilton, John Brown, Ruggs, Tyler Johnson, Tyron Johnson
TE: Henry, Howard, Cook, Everett, Trautman

I would make that deal. Mack could have a better role in the future too.

Is harry even valued much anymore? I see a lesser talent drafted in the first round last year on a team in somewhat of a decline. This is supposedly one of the greatest wr draft classes ever where wrs drafted in the second round of rookie drafts this year would be arguably top 5 picks in most other drafts. I’d definitely take almost any wr in this years draft over Harry. I liked Harry coming out in last years draft class but his future fantasy prospects don’t excite me anymore. Maybe newton can change that for a lot of us but I’m not betting on that happening. I take Ruggs here every time
Qb: Hurts, geno Smith
Rb: JT, Gibbs, Montgomery, Roschon, Z. White, Ty Chandler
Wr: AJB, JJ, Chase, waddle, G Wilson
TE: Pitts, Kincaid, Likely, Njoku

2024 1.01, 1.04, 1.05
10 team
9 players kept yearly
Non PPR
Not super flex
Start 1/1/2/1/2 flex
1 point per first down

A lot of people will say hes still worth a late first or early 2nd because he was a top 4 pick last year. The issue is that purely as a prospect IMO he was on par with the mims, aiyuk, higgins, etc tier. However now weve got a year of him looking bad injuries or not so I dont see why he should have that value still
