Zeke or Thomas/Mixon

Postby Day Man » Tue Jun 12, 2018 7:18 am

Hey Gents,

I am in negotiations for Zeke. Other owner wants Mixon/M. Thomas. The trade would be Zeke/2019 1st for Mixon/Thomas.


We just added a 2nd flex to our league this year, and while the appeal of Zeke is high, I don't want to give up depth. However, pairing Zeke with DJ would be awesome.

Any thoughts?

I would not do that. It hurts your depth a lot in a 2 flex league

This is tough....I LOVE all 3....I'm a lot higher on Mixon than most. is the 2019 project late...? Idk if many would agree with me but I think I'm leaning towards the MT side of things. At this point MT is probably WR4 or 5 and Zeke is RB2-3 so Zeke>MT but I think Mixon is worth more than the 1.02 in this years rookie draft so I'd say a mid/late 2019 1st is worth much less than Mixon.

So in total I see it like this:

MT<Zeke
Mixon>>2019 1st


I'd hang on to my depth. Mixon could very well be a mid/high RB1 this year and MT is about as safe as it gets in Fantasy to be a WR1.

Man, that's close. Initially I thought you should keep what you have, but having DJ and Zeke would be nice. Plus you get a 1st. Zeke side for me.

MT >= Zeke
Mixon > 2019 1st, unless it ends up very, very early.

So, MT side for me. Not a terrible offer though.

Question: Do you value a top 5 WR or a top 5 RB more in dynasty?

I like the Zeke side, but that being said I do not see anything in Mixon and would take almost all the 1st Rnd backs from this year over him so the 2019 1st makes it the Zeke side easy for me.

Depends....when building a team around a player I'd rather have OBJ/Hopkins/MT/Evans because of the longer career spans, but on any given year most of the time 2-5 running backs will go ahead of the first WR in redraft and the reason being because having that Top tier guy like Bell/DJ/Gurley is what wins you championships. So for me in startups I'm 99.99% of the time going to go OBJ/Hopkins with the 1.01 but if I had a championship contending team and had decent depth at WR I wouldn't mind moving OBJ or Hopkins for that ELITE RB to get me a ring.

I'm very tempted by the Zeke side even if i'm very high on MT. Mixon has a rare talent but is still an enigma at this point.

Very close and depending on the 2019 1st. Zeke = MT so it has to be better than Mixon and it could.

Myself i would probably end to keep MT and Mixon in a safe no move.
