Please vote and comment. Likely posting this link to Chat later to make a point for this noob who likes to post bleep in chat.

Give: DK
Get: Russell Gage + Melvin Gordon

My response in comments when rejecting:

"The number 1 ranked WR who just ran the 100 meter against pro runners for that? LOL, nah I'm good."

Then he sends me this gem:
"😂. You’re football IQ is unreal"

I’ve found that it’s pointless trying to talk to these people. If they really believe that is fair then then is no reasoning with them. Not worth the headache. For factual analysis, the trade calculator scores it at 689% more value to Metcalf side. The gap is someone like Henry, Diggs, Akers, Kelce to name a few.

I would decline and move on. Bad offer and the other owner hopefully knows that.

Took me a bit to find a suitable counter but I did send back
Give: Darryton Evans + Sterling Shepard
Get: AJ Brown

Seems pretty close to what I was sent. And he's still sending me emails telling me how crazy I am. For the first time ever I'm going to have to block someone in fantasy football.

I always wonder if guys like that really believe their offers are fair, or if they are so nervous about losing a trade in any way they always overvalue their side.

If he really thinks going into competition with Gage+Gordon is better for his team than DKM, he's going to lose a lot of games. And I'm someone who's probably higher on both than most owners. I had Gage on a couple of teams last year and think he could marginally improve to be a dependable Flex this season. And Gordon won't be an RB1, but he could definitely help, especially on 0RB teams. But neither should be considered a critical facet of any trade involving DKM. They're in different strata.

This is exactly what I tend to do when I get offers like that. Ha
