Blinded by Justin Jefferson?

Postby TheGoat21 » Wed Nov 18, 2020 8:39 pm

For team 2 in sig. I was offered Justin Jefferson for my Zeke. Am I crazy for considering this? Should I do this? I’m truly torn.

I have Miles Sanders, Kamara and JT as my RBs so I don’t “need” to keep zeke. Although JT is a risky backup right now if Sanders or Kamara were to go down while I’m going for it this year. I also have Davante, Terry, AJB and Allen Robinson so I don’t need Justin Jefferson.

Thoughts?

I still think Zeke is the way to go here straight up. I think Zeke still has a couple elite years left in him post this season. It's funny because Jefferson might be the better piece this year based on the Dallas offense.

This time next year you might be kicking yourself, but it has to be Zeke here.

It’s close. I traded Chubb to get Jefferson. I think Chubb I’d better than Zeke, but Zeke has more opportunity. Don’t think it helps.

It definitely is a bold move to make, but those are the ones that make huge impacts if you hit on them.

This is why I am pondering. If JT was playing better I’d be more comfortable with my RB depth. That’s my main issue right now.

You’re definitely not crazy for considering this, but I do think Zeke is a hold in a vacuum. I think his value rebounds next year and could net a better return. If not, with Zeke’s perceived value is so low right now, you could probably still get Jefferson for him later.

However, if you’re in the spot to make a big push this year, I might be tempted to go Jefferson here given you can start so many WRs and you have handcuffed Sanders with Scott.

I’m first in the league right now and have scored 240 more points than second. So I definitely have a good chance this year.

I love JJ, but I would want a first or a high second at the very least coming back.

I am fine trading away zeke, and i think eventually Jefferson will overtake Zeke in ADP. But will that happen this off season? I doubt it. So how many years do you have to wait for this to work out for you? If you want to explore this trade I would insist on something else coming back with jefferson.
