Chase and JJ on the same roster? Wow. I would keep that duo

[moishetreats]

I'm easily taking the package here. Easily.

[Mtt33]

Agreed so very easily the package for me.

[Gator Sens]

Tough to move Chase but you are adding two top 10 WRs here. Nice value.

[Yarnith]

I have to say if you are moving chase on that team you need a different package. You are a 2rb 2 flex league and are not addressing your need which is RB. Unless you have Rodgers lined up for a fat RB or early 1st to get a fat RB no.

He can’t make other trades?

He surely could and I mentioned doing just that. Normally if I am moving a keystone to my dynasty team I do it to put strength in a weakness not dilute my strength with aging vets.

I don't love it. I don't like it a lot. I'm not if I would personally do it. But I like the effort and understand the reasoning.

Swapping Chase for AJB+Kupp gives you an WR1 level Flex, and it provides QB depth. If your team's health hold up all season, this could be a contender.

I'd feel more comfortable with the contender-assessment if you had more RB help, but have Kupp+Higgins as flexes evens that out. I'd view your roster as starting 3WR 1RB and a Flex RB in Swift. Looking at it that way diminishes the "oh my, not enough good RBs" reflex action.

But still, go get RBs with those seconds and hope one is good enough to provide your team with a little depth.

[mgregoirec]

Not a bad deal if you're in win-now mode, adding another quality flex. But I don't think this deal ages well in 2-3 years.

[McCafsteez]

I appreciate all of the feedback. I just traded away the 2.03 & 2.05 for DJ Moore. Does this change anything? My biggest concern is that Rodgers and Kupp fall of quickly and it’s essentially become AJB for Chase straight up…which clearly id prefer Chase.

[Funr1de]

This is a win now move. Kupps value is in winning. He’s is not a real tradable asset. Same with Rogers.

By this time next year, kupp and Rogers may not be worth much at all.

Unless you are one player away from winning, I would hold Chase

Here's how I look at it:

Combined, Kupp and AJB should have about the same number of top-end seasons as Chase. For a win-now team, the duo is better because you're simply consolidating those seasons into the next two years. For a rebuilding team, you want those top seasons stretched out over a longer period of time.

And, even if you think Chase is still ahead of the duo by a little bit, Rodgers coming back more than enough to fill it in.

I’d personally keep chase here…only way I’m breaking up JJ/Chase is to strengthen other areas.
