I think the value is here if you are all in for sure, but I would not want to move Lamb personally.

I think I like it… Looking at your squad, it seems you could use the RB help, and adding Kelce to Kittle (and hopefully Gronk) will help with the 1.5 TE premium as you can start both of them… that also helps the loss of Lamb slightly. it does leave you weak at WR without much depth.

How would you add another WR2 to the group? Or would you just roll with what you have? Could you take out the early 23 2nd?

Edit: I forget who it was that posted something like this on another thread but it was something like, “you’ll never win unless you make some trades like this sometimes”… or perpetually trying to get younger. something like that.

This is the kind of trade that makes playing our game fun. I like the deal for you with your squad. Always a gamble giving the most valuable piece...but picking up 2 high end options for a few yrs (and hopefully a championship) softens the blow.

You’ve got an older team. So it makes sense to go all in. Sucks getting rid of Lamb, but adding Kelce to a TEP league is huge for the short term.

Yeah I’m very torn on whether I should roll with what I’ve got or make a move.

Lamar, Dak, Lawrence, JT, Swift, Lamb, DJM are all pretty young so the window could be open a while. But I don’t have much draft capital and Adams, Arob, Kittle are getting older.

that seems pretty cheap to add several win now pieces to your team to me. ya in 3 years you will wish you had lamb but if you win a title before then you will be glad you did it.

id be looking to move one of 4 qbs for wr help after the trade though, you will be thin at wr and very deep at te but you need to start 3 wr and only 1 te. i wouldnt want boyd berrios guyton and calloway as my only depth at wr.
team 1
12 team, 1 pt for 4 rec, 0.1 per rush
1qb, 3 rb, 4 wr, te, k, 4 idp
Dak , Herbert
Achane, Breece Hall, KW3Kyren,Ford, Miller, Spiller, z evans, singletary
J Jefferson, Diggs, DK, D Smith Puka, C Watson, E Moore
Njoku , HH, Engram

2024 picks
1,3,4,5,5,6,7 (all late mostly)

team 2
12 team .5ppr
qb, 2 rb, 2 wr, te, flx,flx,
Fields, Dak
Ford,Mixon, Javonte, Mostert, Chubb, Spears
Hopkins, Evans, g Wilson Mingo, shaheed, Jamo
Kelce,McBride, Chig,


1,2,3,3,5

team 3
14 team sf, even scoring idp to offense (rb scores highly too)
Josh Allen, A Rich, Foles, Rudolph
Bijan, Charbs, Spears, Ebner
J Williams, G Wilson, C Watson, Flowers, J Addison, Tillman
Kincaid, Kolar, Ruckert, Fergeson

Kenny Clark, josh allen, jaelen phillips, felix a-u and a bunch of fluff and rookie fliers at idp
