Waller vs McLaurin (Poll)

Postby PhillySpecial » Fri May 14, 2021 5:01 pm

The Waller owner is interested in one of my young WR's and targeted McLaurin. Check out my team below, I am stacked everywhere except TE and could use a difference maker at the position. McLaurin would be my WR4 and I have decent depth with Claypool, Gab Davis, Reagor and Mooney in my WR stable.

My league scoring is not TE premium but Waller outscored McLaurin 251 to 206 in 2020. Waller is a target hog on the Raiders and while I love McLaurin, he now has competition for the first time and FitzMagic could just as easily flame out as ball out. The trade calculators have McLaurin well ahead of Waller but the positional value to me has me leaning making the deal.

Thoughts?
10 Team. PPR. 25 player roster. 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 2 Flex, 1 SF, 1D
QB - Justin Herbert. Anthony Richardson. Geno Smith. Sam Howell.
RB - Saquon Barkley. JK Dobbins. Tony Pollard. Leonard Fournette. Kareem Hunt. Devin Singletary. Zamir White. Tyjae Sharp. Jaylen Warren. Jerome Ford. Zach Evans. Chris Rodriquez.
WR - AJ Brown. DK Metcalf. Chris Godwin. Deebo Samuel. Amon Ra St Brown. Courtland Sutton.
TE - Darren Waller. Pat Freiermuth. Evan Engram.

2024 - 1st. 4th.
2025 - 1st. 4th.

Even with your depth at WR, I would hold McLaurin in non premium. Waller has been a beast, but if his target share goes down, that could change a bit. I like McLaurin more long term overall. Very close though and can see this both ways.

The upside of Waller is so drool-worthy. He scored the equivalent to WR8 last season at the TE position! The Waller owner stated he would add another piece to the deal and seems to be a 3rd rounder in 2022. I am not interested in a 2021 3rd so we are getting closer to a deal.
